Cedar Point 2012

[@ltsJoeMama]

This is some excellent footage. It's insane that 2012 feels like retro footage now.

[@CoasterBob62]

Yeah, I was surprised how much the park has changed in just 10 years.

[@Nopenadanope]

what a difference a decade makes

[@kevinwells4086]

I could tell you a memory I have of every single thing you filmed in this video. Everything. I was a season pass holder from about 1994 to 2012. Great video as always coaster bob.

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks, Kevin! Working on this video brought back a lot of memories for me too. So many rides I used to love to ride are gone.

[@justjake5963]

2012 was the very first year I went to cedar point. I miss this era but over the past decade this place has made immense changes that have created more enjoyable opportunities

[@ClothoidLooper]

It is so jarring to see the old front gate. The last time I went to Cedar Point while it was still there was 2008.

[@johnfoltz8183]

The old front gate looks like a shopping center

[@garrettblack]

Superbly edited documentary. Cedar Fair oughta pay you for this lol

[@barsaf9989]

This is cool for me. This is back when I was in high school when all my friends and I could talk about were what rides wanted to go on we got there.

[@flipflubduck]

Reminds me of the days I first starting watching you! I remember watching these and your KI 2013 videos looking for the Banshee teasers.

[@CoasterBob62]

Yeah, I was really into the KZbin scene back then. It was cool to post opening day videos and stuff in the days before smartphones.

[@jacksonpriestap3685]

The park was pretty great back then, but ever since Gatekeeper, it’s been so much better! It seems that Gatekeeper was the ride that started an era!

[@coasterexpert7501]

If this was filmed 1 year later the video would look way less old.

[@SanduskianHistorian]

I miss both the Goodtime Theater and Space Spiral. I never got to ride Wildcat, unfortunately. I did try Dinosaurs Alive however, but I didn't like it, however. I also recall making a prophetic wish that very day about Dinosaurs Alive: "I hope they get rid of this attraction in the near future." I miss that old tunnel at 30:50 as well, too. I loved that. Especially Shoot the Rapids, though it's understandable why they removed it.

[@johnpagan1975]

My first ever visit to Cedar Point just happened to be Disaster Transports final ever day of operation. Glad I went on it and the Space Spiral.

[@CedarPointSteve15]

WOW what a throw back this one is.

[@SnoopyMan6000vids]

Wow I was there in June 2012 and I wished that I rode Space Spiral and Disaster Transport .

[@TaylorSchlupp]

Wow do I miss 2012 era Cedar Point. Seemed like operations were way better back then, employees weren't as rude. And I'd give anything to have Space Spiral and Wicked Twister back. Couldn't care less about Gatekeeper and Wild Mouse or the pavilion. Thanks for another great video!

[@CoasterBob62]

Glad you liked it! I was very sad to see Spiral Spiral toppled.

[@TaylorSchlupp]

@@CoasterBob62 oh man you have no idea how many days I got your videos going in the background while I'm doing work around the house. Love all the content.

[@CoasterBob62]

That's great! :D It's fun to hear the different ways people consume my content.

[@nationalchampions]

WOW! This video is 7 years before my first visit to Cedar Point in 2019.

[@justjake5963]

The entrance though-

[@CC-sv9fs]

Idk why but looking back the old CP entrance kinda looked like the entrance to a Mall lol, but man it’s amazing how much the park has changed.

[@CMH-aviation]

i hadnt been till 2020 but to think that Space Spiral and Disaster Transport would close at the end of the year to make way for GateKeeper in 2013. In 2016 Valravn opened they closed mean streak and turned it into Steel Vengance which opened in 2018 and now Wicked Twister is gone.

[@CMH-aviation]

Forgot about witches wheel being removed as well. Mantis is Rougarou now.

[@michaelmyersprimumnonnocere]

Thank you for posting this. Great video. Especially the Disaster Transport part.

[@AliyaKhan-sv5fl]

Such simpler beautiful times

[@firemedic2572]

Thank You for sharing. The good old days before covid and the $99 passes.

[@Paneeks1960]

Absolutely stellar footage Bob. I especially liked the Millennium Force was that big. That looks like such a good ride. I cannot remember if I remember Wildcat. But I do remember how your editing skills help to make these videos extra special. Outstanding job Bob. Congratulations on your ten year anniversary to recording in 1080 HD~ Rob/Boston

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks, Rob! I was looking through my old footage from 2012 just to see what it was like 10 years ago, then I realized that was the year I started to shoot at 1080 -- I just had to make a video with it!

[@Dllusr396]

Man I miss Space Spiral

[@vincemello6343]

Wow I was 10 when I started watching your videos now I’m about to be 21! Love your videos bob!

[@personwithopinion3797]

18:19 "There's where Wildcat used to be" *10 years later* *still nothing there*

[@joslynhayes8530]

I like the teaser for disaster transport

[@jacka.6866]

At 1:01:30 it said 9/16/2021. I think you switched your 1 and 2 lol

[@CoasterBob62]

UGH!!!!! I reviewed that stuff over and over before I posted this and still missed that error. Thanks for letting me know!

[@dinopulizzi8481]

Awesome Video !

[@CoasterBob62]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@callmemarc]

I think they really made a mistake getting rid of Space Spiral and adding Windseeker. Windseeker just doesn't work in that location. They should have had someone design a more modern version of Space Spiral that can operate with the weather there instead. Yes, I know Windseeker isn't in the same exact location that Space Spiral was, but they basically serve the same purpose.

[@jacksonpriestap3685]

Windseeker doesn’t serve the exact same purpose as Space Spiral. Windseeker is more of a thrill ride. However, I do agree that the location sucks. I visit Cedar Point at least 4 times a year and it’s hardly ever open because of the wind (which is ironic given the name “Windseeker”), making it one of the least popular rides at the park.

[@Theimpulsecoasteraddict72]

At 28:17 all you can before it launched was " keep"

[@djlarryb68]

Awesome footage!

[@jasonhann8527]

i'm going with a couple of friends June 22, can u tell me what changes there is?

[@vortexluigirosalina5557]

30:50 Wow that guy is lucky

[@CoasterBob62]

I've known him for years, and that was the day I first met him.

[@vortexluigirosalina5557]

@@CoasterBob62 wow that’s even cooler

[@gtzaskar6353]

What a great place to be.

[@beckycooper9063]

Awesome Park

[@alecschlenker7542]

Are you going on opening day to film?

[@CoasterBob62]

Nope, but I'll be there soon!

[@matthewcouts3667]

I'm the first person you see in this video! :D

[@bigtimer6074]

In 2022 looking back….they have destroyed this park with corporate greed. They should be ashamed of themselves

[@auburn_and_cordsdude7415]

Same with EPCOT & Hollywood studios in WDW

[@csxisaiahjonesproductions2290]

@CoasterBob62 I Had Some Great News The Ohio State Fair Is Coming Back This Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
