What a Ride!
What’s Your Favorite Cedar Point Memory?
Cedar Point is celebrating its 150tth anniversary this year with new rides, a nightly parade and plenty of souvenirs. But there’s one thing that one of the nation’s oldest amusement parks is missing: your memories.
Here’s one: getting panic-stuck in the tube slide at the Fun House. A teen worker slid down and coaxed the young park-goer through. Her family still teases her about it. We’re omitting the name to protect the magazine editor’s identity.
