Everything New at Cedar Point in 2023 | Wild Mouse, Top Thrill Dragster Footers, & More!

[@bobbyswanson3498]

between all the huge additions in the 2010s it’s easy to forget about how valuable family coasters are in a lineup. i definitely don’t mind them adding a wild mouse

[@detroitdiezel7856]

At least it's not like the same old, boring, cookie cutter wild mouse coasters that are in just about every park.

[@grantgold6336]

It’s cool that all the mice have names.

[@tannert.2296]

Yeah that’s a nice touch. Such a simple detail that adds so much character

How great would a classic wooden coaster be at the boardwalk, it would be a perfect fit

[@silverwolflee6978]

That's if they have space but yes it does seem fitting

[@me-myself-i787]

They could relocate Blue Streak.

[@drdewott9154]

@@me-myself-i787 IDK about that. It is a really historic ride, heck its currently the oldest operating roller coaster at the park. But they could benefit from another woodie, probably more of a twister woodie though, but who knows. Maybe if the new Zambezi zinger proves to be a hit at Worlds of Fun we could see a similar ride at Cedar point. Heck maybe even themed like their old Wildcat coaster that closed a decade ago.

[@keithchristner4522]

I think a Wildcat or a Galaxy would feel more boardwalk than a woodie

[@drdewott9154]

@@keithchristner4522 You also gotta remember, seaside wooden coasters were the bread and butter of boardwalk parks long before the cheap Wildcats and Galaxy models came on the market, either after the boardwalk park had already shut down, or to supplement or replace their existing wooden coaster.

[@michaeldunn3173]

I saw you guys in line for Wild Mouse and waved on Wednesday. Legit made my year. Never thought I'd run into yall. Keep up the great videos!

[@lake.erie.coasters]

the baordwak looks great! wild mouse was also a great addition to the park. i would even go to say its the best family coaster in the park

[@zacg_]

I'm glad to see Cedar Point really embracing its own history more. Historically it was a weekend beach side resort without rides before becoming an amusement park but by the early 1900s it had become essentially a gigantic boardwalk amusement park. I think that really ought to be the image it projects. I like the idea of Cedar Point being sort of a classic boardwalk park on steroids. Something that feels like Coney Island in its hay day but that has extreme thrill rides to keep it modern and interesting. I would love for them to go further with this.

[@rivertownproductions]

I’m glad you liked the area! I was the operator at calypso when you came by!

[@SANITIZEDINC]

I've been so fortunate -- for the first 20 years of my life Cedar Point was my home park, and for the last 30 years Magic Mountain has been my home park. I was at Cedar Point last October. I love both parks so much. Thanks for this update, Coaster Studios!

[@IIISPKIII]

You're really lucky, my hone park is La Ronde lmao

[@makyostarr515]

I ADORE how all the cars are mice and then the one that's a cheese wheel 😂🥰🥰 it's so adorable

[@jordancaleb3419]

I know it’s so cute lol

[@billbrauer2178]

The shot at 12:03 clearly shows all the original supports for the launch track were left in place. Everyone seems to be hoping for some kind of an airtime or bunny hill in the area of the launch - similar to Pantheon. This seems unlikely given the supports are still in place. Not to mention that adding a bunny hill in that location would also change the load on the footers for the same supports, and they don't appear to have poured any additional footers in that area.

[@technoandrew]

Seeing those footers for the TTD spike reminds me hearing that when they built the original tower, they covered up the footers for a season. Apparently they’re not being so secretive this time!

[@Bk187O]

How did they cover them up?

[@technoandrew]

@@Bk187O I dunno.

[@angelaparodo687]

Thank you for this video! We are heading to Cedar Point for the first time in August and I can't wait!!! So excited!!

[@goatedcoastersoffical]

Just went yesterday and the boardwalk is such a good area and wild mouse is a great family coaster, also got a night ride on maverick and steel vengeance

[@joshualehman7676]

There was another thing I noticed on my visit a few weeks ago that perhaps you didn’t see… the museum is closed and is apparently being used for storage. Kind of a bummer because I really enjoy the history aspect of CP and that was a cool part of the park.

[@CoasterStudios]

thats too bad :(

[@AydenJennerCarroll]

The street performers have tap dancers on a board! That’s awesome! Did that a lot during COVID!

[@blainegorman6672]

FYI...The Calypso has always been there, they just pulled it because it was a duplicate of Tiki Twirl in the park. So, CP used to have a few different rides in the park that were the same, but in different areas of the park, so there were more rides available. For instance, they had a Trabant ride and a duplicate in the park in that area that was the same ride, but themed differently called Schwabinchen

[@MelissaJMassey]

I've never looked at a Wild Mouse and went "heck yes, I want to ride that!" The new boardwalk looks like a super fun area. Can't wait to get over there.

[@ParkVisions]

I love all the changes when I was on the top floor for Grand Pavilion I was stunned of how crazy the views are especially for the whole Boardwalk section and GateKeeper. Also Wild Mouse is a cool, fun edition and actually smooth.

[@TSVisits]

I'm so impressed with the quality of your videos. You can tell you do a lot of work before you even step foot in the park. I think maybe experience has a lot to do with how good your videos are, but really, there's some talent here too. Thanks for the inspiration. Those footers in the ID queue are enormous. I can't wait to see what they will hod up.

[@colecouchman3487]

Got to see you all while leaving maverick for the last ride of the night, shout out Coaster Studios! Park is just as great as ever, four walk ons on Steel Vengeance made the day and the boardwalk/wild mouse is a nice addition for the family crowd here. Can’t wait for the dragster update next year!

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

Thanks for taking us on a tour of what's new. We'll be heading back there in about a month.

[@ayanadixon4763]

We went in May as well, and immediately noticed the change in locker prices. The all day one is 12 bucks instead of 10. It's ridiculous considering an all day rental is only 5.00 at KI. Cedar Fair owns both parks, so why the huge difference?

[@LidJo1686]

I went for the first time 2 weeks ago for my Senior trip! I got to ride all the rides except the wild mouse, but I loved this park, hope I can go back one day when dragster is done!!!

[@ItsaMii]

Just went for COASTERMANIA! I miss wicked twister but the boardwalk is awesome so I’m happy something good went in its place. I am also disappointed about the lockers. You used to be able to rent them for 1 hr for $1 but now it’s a minimum of 2 hrs for $3. As a local, it just feels like cp is making more and more greedy decisions each year which is dissapointing :(

[@elianblanco03]

Glad this video was made, I was really looking forward to it

[@ejectorairtime]

Of course you would be at Cedar Point the day AFTER I went!! I so would’ve loved to feature you in my vlog!!

[@Stuie299]

I wish Cedar Fair would give some of their lesser parks just a 1/10 of the love and attention that they give Cedar Point.

[@brianharrington7663]

It’s not just cedar point. Kings Island, Carowinds, Canadas Wonderland, and sort of Kings Dominion also receive much more love than other parks in the chain.

[@pancake_rabbit]

dorney park real

[@MrDisneyguy]

⁠@@brianharrington7663 not to mention Worlds of Fun, that park got pretty much a massive overhaul

[@rivertownproductions]

I’m surprised you didn’t say anything about all the railroad merchandise they’re selling this year. They literally have a Lionel model of one of the locomotives.

[@jppurple98]

Great Video of CP! Makes me want to go back. Grew up going there haven’t been back since moving to Florida. The Boardwalk looks amazing and really ties the beautiful beach to the park. I think a lot of people don’t even know they have a beach lol 😂 I remember they used to Have a Dolphin show Oceana that was removed for wicked twister. And now it is gone. Their shows are incredible too. Do they still have night show Illuminosity? If they do you should put in your next video 😊😎

[@jh1-o9o]

I love y’all’s videos so much. Please keep it up, yay summer 2023!

[@virginiabushnell3042]

Those cocktails are the price they are because they only use top shelf liquor as you can see behind the bar. Plus a 30% increase in price compared to what is normally considered reasonable because it is an amusement park and they can. Just get a grey goose and cranberry with a lime or a tanqueray and tonic with a lime or something it’ll be a little less expensive but you will get a good buzz. Less ingredients to ring up.

[@kellyoman2196]

Ill be at cedar point the week of july 4th. First time back in over 10 years. Cant wait to try steve!

[@miscellaneousyoutube5399]

I wish I would’ve seen you guys at Cedar point. I was there all weekend.

[@bigblueamusementproductions]

The building you showed at 8:06 is actually the old Grand Pavilion. It's been remodeled a lot since, but yeah that was the old Grand Pavilion.

[@CoasterParadise12323]

I was at Cedar Point earlier this week and loved the boardwalk section and the other rides.

[@howardparks6218]

If they ever do close Kiddy Kingdom, they should keep the carousel, and move it to the boardwalk and rename it The Boardwalk Carousel.

[@sassjolras7253]

"The burgers...cold..." Making me miss amusement parks hahaha

[@Fryinpansvols]

The Boardwalk looks sharp! I don’t really drink, but those alcohol prices are worse than a pro sporting event. 🤯

[@matthewmalin6940]

Y’all should swing by Carowinds and take a look at the new Aeronautica Landing area. It’s beautiful! Not many other changes to the park but with the new flat rides and themeing, it adds a ton of kinetic energy to an otherwise dead section.

[@haydenmiddlebrooks8317]

I’m actually paying my first visit to Cedar Point in July as a graduation present

[@Puzekat2]

Wild mouse ruined my night. I’m here now at Cedar Point June 1-7th 2023. Lighthouse Point the cottages.

[@MH_ZeR0]

Really wanna visit Cedar Point! One day I'll get to the US and visit! Just one thing, when you were showing the lockers infront of Steel Vengance and mentioned the price rise... You had the quantity set to 2! Maybe it's not gone up and you get a discount if you get more than one? Really interested to see what comes along with the new version of Top Thrill Dragster!

[@davidmcaninch4714]

I am stoked as cuss for the new version of Dragster!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I first rode it, I thought it was the best coaster in the world, and I stand by that!!! Now, 2024, this coaster is going to be legen-wait for it……dary!!!! Legendary!!!!!!

[@maxhagenauer24]

So crazy to see dragster like that but it's interesting to see what will happen.

[@masondustin14]

Is anyone going to point out that quality_coasters is in the background 3:56

[@CoasterStudios]

lol sam is a good friend of ours!

[@StamfordBridge]

A three-dollar upcharge for Steel Vengeance is embarrassing for the park.

[@BamaRailfan]

Not an upcharge for the ride, just the paid lockers outside the entrance. Free lockers are still available in the que for smaller items.

[@StamfordBridge]

@@BamaRailfan Fair enough, but it’s an upcharge for those with bags.

[@Marty_NZ]

@@StamfordBridge I thought the Steel Vengeance upcharge is the $139 Fastlane Plus to not have to wait 2 hours in the queue?

[@StamfordBridge]

@@Marty_NZ Well said!

[@axvtk1171]

You can definitely tell there planning something big with dragster or the main middle area since they moved scrambler and Matterhorn

[@billofwrights7695]

I’m pretty sure the reimagined Dragster will open along with its own themed area!

[@gametime2473]

We were at Cedar Point for THREE days and they never opened the Wild Mouse. Oh well, if I am going to miss a new ride at CP, at least it was only a Wild Mouse

[@PatrickRyan150]

I've gone a dozen times this year. I love the Grand Pavillion & The Farmhouse Grill.

[@mossgrowth]

Massive footers! Gotta wonder if Power Tower’s days might be numbered to make room for Spikey

[@amusement420]

Cheese car really spins a lot (or they spin it a lot) on the brake run. I got dizzy. The moving loading platform is actually a pain to getting in and out of imho. My friend who had a stroke and his left side gives him issues couldn't get into ADA accessible Cheese car (it stops but the side door opens more)

[@CoasterVet]

I heard they remodeled the restrooms around Gatekeeper as well. I remember at the Q & A at Coastermania 2021 people asked about remodeling those restrooms.

[@debrawray7463]

Very good video. Thank you.

[@MIKEYPOOHBEARJACKSON]

I remember wicked twister was being built and teased for a opening. The memories

[@DavidKudellMusic]

The Millennium Lounge is perfect for those days when you go to Cedar Point and then realize you accidentally went to Cedar Point. 😂 Now I can just go there, sit, and stare at my phone drinking flavor infused water like I do at home. Best $40 ever. I just wish they would add some laptops so I can get on some work Zoom meetings there too.

[@jamisongeyer7633]

I can’t help but wonder if the reimagined Dragster could get more track layout that would go over onto Millennium Island, and interact with Millennium Force??

[@bushwxcker540]

Would take forever for the line to move unless they add a mid course.

[@debrawray7463]

Is dragster not running now?

[@turbotom416]

rode the wild mouse many times and found that the cheese car spins more than the rest of them.

[@lars9777]

Thanks for the picture at Iron Dragon.

[@nicoli4155]

I remember that I had a trip to cedar point planned before we knew about dragster and we found out that it wouldn’t be open and I got so mad and my family was so confused.

[@Fryinpansvols]

Definitely going to buy a new shirt or 3 when we go to CP in less than 2 weeks.

[@benv.8382]

F.y.I. the original grand pavilion is still there. Its across from the boardwalk sign by windseeker. Around the 8 minute mark you panned over to it and said this building over here.

[@jamalbrown8555]

Oh my goodness guys the food looks fire 🔥😋 and awesome park very cool 👍 lol 😊.

[@PatrickRyan150]

I can't wait until next season when re-imagined TTD opens so lines at other coasters won't be as long.

[@nathanlightfoot8747]

All I’ll say is.. you haven’t seen expensive cocktails til you’ve eaten out in Manhattan! To me those prices are very appealing personally! But maybe that’s just cause I’m used to forking over $18+ to start with? But hey, I feel ya

[@JosephJohnson-gu5fw]

Planning to get back to Cedar Point this year at some point. Hoping for a calm day without a bazillion people. Lol. Want to get my new credits and enjoy my day.

[@aaronswords404]

The Millennium Lounge is included with Prestige Pass, so that is where they will get 95% of their clientele.

[@MatthewGross87]

As someone who is purely a coaster enthusiast, I don't love losing both Dragster and Wicked Twister. The park's lineup just isn't quite as deep now after losing two excellent rides. I'm sure the Boardwalk looks nice, but I don't go to Cedar Point because it looks nice. I go there to ride as many extreme thrill rides as possible, and there's less of them now. I also don't like the charging for lockers. Just raise the price of the overall park ticket and make the lockers free instead of nickel and diming the thrill seekers every time they want to ride Steel Vengeance.

[@McCucumber]

That Calypso reminds me of Fiddler’s Fling at Six Flags Great America. Also Calypso the lemonade is very good, so many flavors to choose from.

[@BamaRailfan]

Ive been to CP 3 times already this year. Always a blast! Staffing has been a little short but hopefully that will get better soon. Also a lot of ride breakdowns.. Typical start of the season stuff.

[@scooopiee8906]

will all the rides be open now?

[@emilyklocko8785]

[@BenjiNerdyDog]

Do you reckon you guys will see theme park worldwide on their USA road trip? 🇺🇸

[@adamdragster]

The keychain that CoasterMania attendees got is definitely the first riders admission to the new Top Thrill Dragster. So glad I attended! By the way, I'm so tired of the speculation game we're all forced to play.

[@YTAnalyzed]

I'd love to hear how you manage to travel so much and see every park. do you just live in a motor home and have every season pass?

[@CoasterStudios]

Not every park, but we do have a Six Flags membership, Cedar fair platinum pass, universal Orlando pass, fun spot pass, and WDW annual pass!

[@johnepants]

Wild Mouse was pretty good, and it seems that all of the flat rides also gained their own soundtracks to go with their theming, which I didn’t notice before on rides like Calypso and Matterhorn. Even Scrambler seemed to be upgraded

[@erickheyer-fogelberg5362]

There’s a mirror maze at Canobie Lake Park!!!

[@JHSports]

Did y’all ride the rides? Like maverick and melinuim force and raptor and gatekeeper and all those?

[@CoasterStudios]

absolutely!

[@debrawray7463]

What rides are not running for the next month? Trying to plan a trip.

[@CoasterStudios]

Everythings open except for Top Thrill Dragster

[@johnepants]

You think the area had no personality when Wicked Twister was there, it was even worse before that. One year I was walking that midway around dusk and it was abandoned and quiet

[@detroitdiezel7856]

The new wild mouse coaster theming reminds me of the old Tom and Jerry cartoons... if Jerry had a bunch of his cousins join him! 2:43 2:51

[@jtbowman132]

Honestly out of all of those outrageous alcohol prices, the margarita was probably the best deal just because you get to keep the cup. $15 for a can of cheap beer that comes in a 12 pack for the same price is absurd. My guess is that they price it that high for throughput reasons & don’t want people to stay around and get wasted

[@aaronspringborn34]

Great video as always. I have never been to Cedar point ever I would love to go one day however, I have a question why do they charge money for lockers knowing that you have to ride steel vengeance for those who want to? At Hershey they are complementary for Wildcats revenge.

[@ThatCoasterDude]

Home park for me! Havnt gotten the wild mouse credit yet

[@austintayloradt]

At 8:05, "this building over here" - i.e. the original Grand Pavilion

hopefully within the next couple of years! Not next year, but maybe 2025? who knows!

[@jeffc1347]

The audience for the VIP lounge is parents whose kids aren't old enough to drive but they don't want to spend the day with them. I think CP is over estimating how many people are willing to pay $40 for that half a**ed sad excuse for a VIP lounge though, lol.

[@jackcopeland9082]

the Cheese car on wild mouse spins the most

Cedar Point used to have one of those Wild Mouse coasters. They got rid of it for a reason.

[@jameslitwin1726]

When I had frontier inn we had the chicken and pizza. We really enjoyed both, the sauces were really great. I liked it, i didnt have the burger but i prefer it to chick fil a. Farmhouse is definitely better though

[@hedgehogcoasters7239]

Assuming dragster is getting the backwards spike, it would be cool if it got the space theme as Sarah suggested, and then you got wicked transport, which would pay homage to two defunct coasters from the park

[@josephqualtier961]

Honestly I’d rather have a spinning wild mouse than a wicked twister, they’re just kind of an underwhelming ride, meanwhile wild mice are always so fun especially if they spin

[@BrianMark1776]

New stuff? I found what youre looking for 10:43, you're welcome! 😁😁😁

[@dindog22]

my only issue with the boardwalk and this is only because I'm old, it may not apply to younger people is this. Riding Gatekeeper really scrambles your inner ear around and you really shouldn't go riding things that spin for a while. everything they put on the boardwalk spins! Everything!

[@ScottyMania313]

Love the vid. I stopped thinking after I heard French Bread Pizza. Those looked delish. If anyone has the 411 on them Za's lemme know how they are

[@CedarPoint42]

Did they really add a 6ft tall fence to Skyhawk?

[@TheRealConcertKing]

I hate how it seems like all of their food locations serve pre-made stuff that just sits out in the open for however long until someone orders it, and portion sizes seem terrible for the amount they're overcharging.

[@PatrickRyan150]

Cedar Point needs a new wooden coaster like Mystic Timbers. No loop, no inversions, just hills, speed, & air time. I'd get rid of Corkscrew & Gemini if they need room.

[@brentburgess5218]

Anyone know what "snacks" are included in that VIP lounge? I'd rather it be a little more and include a buffet of real food and a couple of mixed or specialty drinks.

[@CoasterStudios]

I believe it’s bagged chips

[@alexkukich2632]

I have a prestige plus season pass which includes access to the VIP area. I've been to it 3x and it's only had bagged chips. One time it also had bagged cookies. Seems a little ridiculous to call it a VIP area and not offer more, like even free flavored drinks lol.

[@brentburgess5218]

@@alexkukich2632 what a joke. If you are going to provide a VIP service go all the way with it, price it appropriately and people will buy it. But if you cheap out on it your customers will feel cheated and word will get out quickly.
