^What he said. I would also like to see some dark ride, B&M, and S&S/arrow offerings. New food items are cool as well. Don't care too much about the waterpark stuff, but do like new log flume type rides.

This is a great addition to the park. I wonder where they are going to put it? I did not notice much room left in the waterpark area. There is not much for the kiddies to do in the waterpark, so this is a perfect new attraction. It's great for the park, but the amusement park geek in me is bummed. I was looking for something new for the rides side of the park. I am just not a waterpark person. But it will make the lines in the ride side even shorter when I visit next summer.

Todays update is going to come in 2 parts. I have the official press release for the demon drop at cedar point in 1983. The ride has been moved to dorney park this season, but will always be linked to cedar point. The press release has all the info about the new ride, and all other new things for the year. It also has some park promo pictures as well.There will be 2 parts to this update...one today, and one tomorrow. The press release comes in this nifty folder. Info about the ride. More...... Just the facts... Wow, only 2.5 million. I wonder what it would cost today. Anyone remember the bears? New Imax Only $11.95. Here are the promo pictures that are in the kit. Kid arthers court Some random kid playing with balls. Net climb in kid arthers court Stryker, coco, misty and breeze....yea, I remember the names after all these years. Jungle larry. Power tower now sits here. Gemini racing coaster. White water landings splash down. Corkscrew doing it's thing. The berinstein(sp) bears would be a lot better than snoopy. That's it for part 1. Stay tuned for part 2.

Tomorrow(thrs) you will know at 7am on facebook.

I think I just crapped myself looking at this crazy ride.

Thank you.... I may have the millennium force s.o.p book. Give me some time on that one, because I just moved and boxes are all over the place.

This is panning out to be a great year for premier.

Yes...good memories indeed. I remember the first time I went on demon drop, as soon as I got off the ride I bought a "I survived demon drop" pin. I ran into the same problem with kid arthers court. I was too big and was bummed I couldn't play in the huge ball pit they had. I was explaining to amy that the reason the kiddie kingdom signs were themed the way they are, was because of the kid arthers court. I remember that they themed the whole area to a castle theme. That is the only hint of kid arther that is left.

Then I think your going to love the next update.

Here are some old booklets from cedar point in 1983. This is the year that demon drop was built. I will have the demon drop press release comming up real soon as well. Here are the booklets from cedar point, hotel breakers, the marina, and camper village. Cedar point 1983. Back of booklet. Mill race, kid arthers court, gemini and more... Part of the inside The other side. If you unfold the booklet, there is a huge demon drop poster. It was too big to scan. Hotel breakers Back of booklet. Inside More inside... Funny thing about this picture, is that the rooms still look the same after all these years. Only they cost about 10X as much today. The marina. Backside Inside Camper village. Backside. Inside. More inside. Hope you enjoyed this update. I will have the demon drop press relese comming up next.

Thank you. If you like the s.o.p books, stay tuned because I have the space mountain s.o.p comming soon.

The park is very weak in the flat ride dept. Jet scream would help.

Thank you. There are about 100 more pages, so if there is anything that anyone want's to see, just let me know.

A few more pages...... The "welcome back" speil. Instructions for riders. Try saying this over and over again all day. Lift remote control station. When they start the lift in the morning, someone has to push this button the same time as someone in the controle booth for the lift to start.

Today I am posting some pages from the mean streak operations manual. I posted what I thought was interesting, but if there is something that you want to see, just let me know and I will post it. As you know, the mean streak is getting a lot of track work this off season, so I hope it does the ride some good. One of the pages I thought were interesting, was the trim brake page. I will try and add more pages tommarow. I also added the employee ride night poster as well.....enjoy. The cover of the book. The basics about the ride. Ridership numbers. Stats. I wonder if the weight of the train with riders, was with or without ace members? Station layout. Track diagram How long is the wait? Hand signals Seat belts. I hate them. Do we realy need them on this ride? Control panal. About the control panal. The c.r.t screen. The dredded trims. Breaker box. I have only seen them run 2 trains this past summer. Guest situations. Weather Train rotation log. Mean streak ride night.

I just found yet another box of crap, and I found the operating manual for space mountain. I will post that, along with the mean streak sop manual soon.

A quick search on rcdb tells you all of the coaster companies... Disneyland... http://rcdb.com/4571.htm Disneyworld(magic kingdom) http://rcdb.com/4597.htm Disney movie studio http://rcdb.com/4735.htm Animal kingdom http://rcdb.com/5109.htm

I agree. It was always just kind of hidden in a corner.

Here is the link to that info... http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Muskegon-MI/Michigans-Adventure/140264646757 I am not expecting anything earth shattering, but something is better than nothing.

Looks like ocean motion will live on at cedar point. There facebook page says that the ride will be relocated to the former demon drop location starting next year. Read about it here.... http://www.facebook.com/#!/cedarpoint

I thought that arrow did a few coasters for Disney as well. I know they did matterhorn mountain.

I have a small update today as I feel like crap again(sinus infection that refuses to go away). This is a behind the lines employee magazine from cedarpoint in aug of 2002. The front cover Local fairs and discounted employee tickets. Local companies have all kinds of deals for cedarpoint employees. Employee steak night Anybody hungry? Then check out the employee cafateria. Did you know? Back page.

I think that was from eather the year it opend, or the next year.

They might be, but I woulden't even know where to look to find out if they are.

North of Detroit would be a great spot.
