cedar point

A tip from someone who has done Cedar Point in May. The lines are shorter, the weather is pretty fair, and it's just nice when it's less crowded.

Most of us have been going to Cedar Point all our lives and have seen a lot of rides close forever at the park.

To you and me, it's a place to have fun; ride the roller coasters, eat food, and not have a care in the world. But the business of fun these days is no fun, especially if your Cedar Point. The company that owns SeaWorld is making a hostile takeover bid for Cedar Fair, the parent company of Cedar Point, in Sandusky, Ohio. Most people in Michigan know Cedar Point or another amusement facility, Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon.

Vacation, all I ever wanted Vacation, had to get away (The Go Go's, "Vacation", 1982) You wanna know what rhymes with vacation? Inflation. While you're trying to get away from it all on vacation, no matter where you go or what you do you can't seem to outrun INFLATION...

When Cedar Point announced this was the last season for the "Wicked Twister" rollercoaster, speculation began that the ride might end up at Michigan's Adventure.

Michigan is now open. More importantly for fans of amusement parks and roller coasters, Ohio has been open since the start of June. And Cedar Point says its ready to party. The delayed 150th anniversary celebration begins on Saturday.

Coaster people, rejoice. All people, rejoice. Friday, May 14th, Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio opens up for the weekend and for the season.

The immediate headline may raise a few eyebrows, but eventually, you have to figure, we will return to some level of normal. Right?

After being another one of the seasonal businesses hit hard by the pandemic during 2020, Cedar Point has ambitious plans for 2021.

I hope this doesn't begin to sound like a coach's pep talk, but we are getting closer to maybe being past this horrible pandemic. We can't take our eyes off the prize. And for many 'round these parts, the prize is a trip to Cedar Point.
