Thanks for this video! I’m northeast Ohio born and raised. Growing up here, Cedar Point is just something you naturally take for granted. Borderline every single person regularly goes with their parents/grandparents when they’re young, then their friend group when they’re teens and up, and eventually with their own kids. Roller coasters have been nothing but fun for me since my first ride as an 8 year old. The notion that people out there find coasters terrifying or particularly exhilarating is such an interesting concept to me. Everyone I know just thinks they’re pure dumb, silly, amazing fun. It’s just what you do with your friends in the summer and again for Halloweekends. The older you get the more your realize how special this place is. I’ve yet to encounter another park that can even pretend to hold a candle to “America’s Rockin’ RollerCoast”. Ride On!

I couldn't agree with you more, growing up in northeast ohio as well, we just took for granted what an amazing place Cedar Point was. We kind of just assumed everyone had a place like Cedar Point!! I think it's kind of the same way about people finding coasters scary, growing up on roller coasters i loved them, so i just assumed everyone loved them lol. Anyway I love Cedar Point it will always be the best amusement park ever in my book!!!

Yes!!! I'm from Akron and we grew up going to Cedar Point, Geauga Lake, and Kennywood. All 3 were great in their own way (R.I.P. Geauga Lake 😥), but Cedar Point was always the best!!! Now having traveled to a bunch of parks, Cedar Point still tops the list! My husband grew up with Magic Mountain as his home park, and as awesome as a park as it is, Cedar Point still beats it. The best was taking my husband there the first time. He heard all the hype around here and thought there was no way it could be better than Magic Mountain. He now stands corrected 😆😆 and that was before Steel Vengeance! 🤣🤣🤣 Can't wait to take my kids! They're finally both over 48" and can ride tons of rides now!!!!

I grew up in Detroit, and Cedar Point was basically our summer home. No matter how much we were struggling, my mom and dad made it so we could go at least twice a summer. I remember there was a water ride of sorts where Raptor now stands, and I was about an inch too short. My dad said not to worry, we would ride it together the next summer. We come back next summer, it's gone and there's Raptor... and I was an inch too short. A core memory is my mom having to hold seven year old me back, screaming and crying, as I watched my dad get into the line to ride it. Up until my dad got sick in 2011, we were still going at least once a year, the final time in July of 2011 (didn't know it would be the final trip anywhere with my dad at the time). I wish he could see the videos you make, especially on somewhere so close to our home. I know he would have loved them. Keep doing what you do, you are doing it well.

The image of Steel Vengeance still boggles my mind to some extent. It looks like a roller coaster from a cartoon episode with comically intimidating and physically impossible rides. It's this massive wooden and steel behemoth with seemingly impossible angles and elements and I want to ride it so badly.

I don't care what anyone says, I loved disaster transport as a kid. It was my favorite thing at the park even after Raptor got built. One of my friends told me that the trains "jumped off the track" and it wasn't until much later in life that I realized what he actually meant, I had no idea how it worked until I was an adult but the feel of it was always my favorite. Glad I was too young to ever notice or care that it was considered a flop.

@@hueylongadmirer1829 They are honestly miserable people, who most likely don't enjoy their job. But, they have to dispatch trains very quickly. So, it makes it a hard task to do that with there 5 trains. There is an employee who makes sure people exit the ride before a train gets dispatched. The people have to completely exit the ride for the employee controlling the ride to dispatch. Go watch Eltoraryan's Problematic Roller Coasters series. He did a episode where he overviewed Top Thrill Dragster. When, I say all these things, I agree with you I just wanted to tell you how it works because, I felt like it. :)

It so strange, when you live in Ohio you just go to Ceded Point. Almost every year. But you didn't think back in the 80s and 90s that you are going to land of the coasters. The place where others dream of, or hope, to someday go to. It wasn't until I moved to California that I realized what a lucky kid/young adult I was. Also went to Kings Island every 3 years. I just didn't understand how good I had it. Now I'm actually thinking about just going back for Ceded Point. I miss and really love that place. Thanks for this wonderful piece of film/doc. Have a wonderful summer and to those going to the Point have a blast.

I've been to several out here and there just not as good. But growing up around there you just think its just a park. Lots of park will have, "this is the ride" and that's it. The Point is one badass ride to the next badass ride. Anyway ya i get why people dream about going there now.

I'm going to Cedar Point a week from today! So stoked! Its been 13 years since I've been there. Really excited for Steel Vengeance, looks incredible. Unfortunately Dragster will be closed (what's new right), because that lady got hit in the head with a piece of metal that fell off it.

I am absolutely ecstatic about this video. There was a solid like 3 consecutive summers that my family would just go to Cedar Point. I don't actually remember anything significant opening during that time (other than the failure that was Shoot the Rapids), but I can't believe that I'm older than a lot of my favorite rides! It's also tear-shedding to see footage of some old favorites that are now gone, like the Wildcat, Disaster Transport, Mean Streak, Space Needle, Wicked Twister...which I just learned about its closure this year, despite it being removed last year. As a Northern Ohioan, this was and still is a staple of my whole life!! I remember hearing about the big shutdowns. Also, rest in piece Dragster, you will be missed, but hopefully replaced with some new thrills! I can't wait for the new Boardwalk area too (they're bringing back the Wild Mouse!!!)

Growing up in Michigan you had 2 options for summer vacations. It was either go “Up North” or go to Cedar Point. Born in the mid 80s I was thankful to grow up with all the mega coasters in the “coaster wars” from the late 80s to to the mid 2000s. My parents used to get a coaster magazine to get us excited for the trip that always showed a CP ride saying cedar point was the Roller Coaster capital of the world and voted best amusement park. Came with a Cedar Point map too and that was how we found out all the new rides and attractions. The good ol days of being a kid. In 2009 when the demon drop went it cemented in me that my childhood was over. Some good coasters have gone up since my last visit but it just isn’t the same. TLDR, excellent video!

Very fortunate to have the point as a home theme park. Anxious to see what kind of coaster they have in store next year and although wicked twister was great when it opened it didn’t age well and was quite jerky in it’s later years.

I first became aware of Cedar Point when a friend from Cincinnati would send me VHS cassettes he would tape while riding the various coasters in the park. I never got to visit the park itself and by now my coaster-riding days are probably behind me, but this wonderfully detailed documentary is quite a pleasurable ride all on its own. Thanks for posting.

Iron Dragon is my favorite ride at Cedar Point. When I was younger, it was one of the few I was tall enough for. So my friends at I would ride Iron Dragon about 12 times lol The other rides I would ride a ton of times was "Thunder Canyon" and "Destination Transport" (too bad its gone now) :( Edit: I remember when the "Raptor" was opened! It was soooo good when it came out. Now its a little choppy at the end. I also remember when "Wicked Twister" came out when I was in high school. so sad its gone now :( Cedar Point never lets you down. They have somethings for everyone, even for little kids.

Well done Peter. It might have been cool to mention that the Cedar Point brass once again returned to Opryland in 1984 to try the Intamin bobsled, Screamin' Delta Demon. However, not liking the in line seating and even concerned that the larger 4 row, 8 person car offered was not good enough for capacity, they ordered custom 5 row, 10 person cars. Some think, the decision may have backfired since the ride didn't have the aggressive edge with the longer bulkier cars.
