Milkchan Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 This a video from goofbaugh at youtube. This is Cedar Point in 1963 very old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P0Pv84cPWU Could someone point out some of those rides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 many of the rides there I don't recognize but there mustve been a vekoma around somewhere, there were dead bodies next to the railroad. however, I did recognize the carousel, the chairlift, the car ride, and if its the same one that it was back then - the log flume. also, i imagine the paddlewheel excrusions boat ride hasnt moved since. also, the railroad hasnt moved siince, just ogt its theming taken out, and i woudlnt be surprised if the bumper cars are in the same structure as the new ones, only the cars got changed. also, i could sort of make out a couple ride locations. for example, the space wheel was where the corkscrew is today. what a waste of a space wheel... nah, im just kidding,t he corkscrew at CP is actually quite enjoyable. nowdays we take going fast through dips and hills for granted,imagine how incredible going on a rollercoaster mustve felt like back then.

RaptorBoyASU Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 OMG, such good footage of The Mill Race. It's cool that that ride survived more than 30 years. The Mill Race is the ride I miss most from CP. It stood where Raptor's entrance now stands. It was there through the 93 season. It was the first ride we hit every time we went to Cedar Point (and the line reflected that most people must have done that). I remember my first ride on it when I was barely 4, and we rode it every year for the next 7 years. Of course I also miss The Pirate Ride, Trabant, and White Water Landing (I worked on WWL for 1/3 of 2000 summer), but Mill Race will always be my favorite memory.

GMAN962 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Wow, cedar point has changed so much. I mean, put TTD in there back in 1963, and that will be the most extreme thing ever imaginable in those days. But these days, that's not the limit. Infact, I think it's not even too close to the limits. Hieghts and extremity will keep climbing higher and higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJackson Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Heck, put any big rollercoaster that's at CP now in 1963, and it would be extreme. TTD would have been revolutionary to the world!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
