Cedar Point is Teasing Huge News

Summer is winding down, although I don’t want to admit it. Now, it appears the folks at one of Michiganders’ favorite spots to visit in the summer, Ohio’s Cedar Point, are prepping for a major announcement.

On Wednesday (Aug. 10), the park tweeted, “Tomorrow,” leading to tons of speculation.

Giving a bit more information – well, not really, as you’ll see – Tony Clark, director of communications at Cedar Point – tweeted out, “I’m thinkin’ about 24 hours from now we should make an announcement about an announcement about an announcement about an announcement… And I’ll still stand by my ‘something for everyone’ comments made previously, for those keeping tabs.” We here at WRIF will have the scoop for you on Thursday!

10 Cedar Point Rides We Really Miss

  • Top Thrill Dragster

    Last August, a Cedar Point guest was seriously injured at the park. As she was waiting in line for the Top Thrill Dragster, the woman was hit by a flying part off the ride and subsequently injured. The ride won’t be back for 2022, but no word on if it will be back after that.

  • Mantis

    Cedar Point converted the Mantis into a floorless roller coaster named Rougarou in 2015, the latter of which is still there. But, some people miss the Mantis!

  • Antique Cars

    Just this season, Cedar Point removed Antique Cars, a drive-it-yourself ride through Frontier Town, in order to create enough space for a new restaurant.

  • Wicked Twister

    Wicked Twister welcomed its first passengers at Cedar Point on May 5, 2002. It actually held the record for the world’s tallest and fastest twisting impulse roller coaster. It closed last year!

  • Demon Drop

    This was a scary one! Watch video below.

  • White Water Landing

    White Water Landing closed back in 2005.

  • WildCat

    This was a tipsy turvy one! See footage below.

  • Space Spiral

    I don’t remember this one at all. But check out footage below!

  • Mean Streak

    This coaster was all the rage when I was a kid.

  • Disaster Transport

    This was a wild indoor coaster- very unique!
