This is pure gold

I was ten years old that summer for our family trip to CP. This video is exactly how I remembered it from those days. So fun! Thanks for sharing!

This takes me back.  My dad would take us every year to Cedar Point.  My mom would fill up a cooler full with cold fried chicken from KFC.  We'd get a picnic table and spend the day.  I was about 12 in 77.   Oh, the clothing styles.  Cut off jeans for shorts and tube socks.  That was it back then.  There wasn't a lot of options for summer wear back then.   That shot of the double ferris wheel at night reminded me of when my dad rode that with me at night when I was a little kid.  A good memory of my dad who's been gone for almost 30 years.  A fun watch.  .

I just watched another video from 1961 and the difference just 16 years makes is mind blowing.  1961 I barely recognized anything but here, the place I know and love is really taking shape. And look at that SHINY new Corkscrew!

My heart aches watching this.  Our family went in the summer of 77 as well. I had forgotten so many rides; the log ride, the double ferris wheel, those cars that went too slow, the Calypso, the sky crossing. Thank you so much for posting this. It was such a nice time to be alive.

I love how Mom rode all the rides with the kids and Dad got it all on film. Brings back many happy memories.

I was 12 then. Cedar Point was so much better back then.prr of a family park. Now it's 90 % roller coasters and one half the family can't ride

Damn,😢so many memories there

Thanks . I drove from Baltimore to there once in 2016 with my dad. I loved that place.

Thank You!!! I was 13 yrs old then and it brought back  memories

I was born in 2002 so this is way before I was alive but I am a big CP fan and I love the history of the place so thank you for showing the younger generations what it was like in your time I fully appreciate it 😊

I went there in July of 1977, we had a group of us and it was a blast, not nearly as crowded as it became later and so much fun.

Thanks for memories had a good time there when a young boy

Thanks for posting. Great memories!

I went to cedar point in 1970 2005 2006 and I loved all three times❤😂

I love the fact someone shows the original Shoot The Rapids, much better than the redo they had. I am not sure but I think it was replaced by the underrated White Water Landing (which is now Maverick). Unclear as to where exactly but was in "frontier town"

Wish Blue Streak still had those same trains with buzz bars.

Many of these rides are still there!

Thanks for sharing. Brings back so many memories.

What a great home video.  i would have been 14 summer of '77 and i was there that year and have been every year since, raising my own family of CP fans.  The park was so clean then, 20-minute waits for rides, you could go to see the shows, the imax, and hit all the rides easily in one day.  I used to buy the park map every year in the candle shop for a buck.  Still got 'em tucked away somewhere!
