Great documentary. A very good history. Missed: Why it was/is called “Cedar Point”. Answer: The point was filled with cedar trees in its earliest days.
It's that nostalgic feeling and the atmosphere not the rides that keeps us parents coming back to March for miles in the heat all day. Now days I'm in my forties soo we just stay longer and take our time and enjoy being together as a family. I remember going there with my friends during junior high.they all brought girl friends but I didn't have one,I would go on rides wishing I had someone special. 26 years later I made the trip from Jersey with my wife and daughter and they were shocked how awesome it was. That week was one of the highlights of my life
Just rewatched this documentary, and so much has changed since it was being sold in the park. I miss some of the attractions and the arcades that were in the park and the hotel. I remember conquering my fear of those same rides as a kid, and now embrace them with adrenaline at times after I've indulged in the park's atmosphere with a few drinks. So much has changed. It all comes with time. I still hold on to the photos and items from my younger days with fondness while making new memories along the way.
Anybody remember Berardi’s French fries? They were served at Cedar Point from 1942 to 1978 when Cedar Point eliminated private concessions at the park. Berardi’s restaurant still serves the fries at its location in Huron Ohio.
