Cedar Point Opens This Weekend – This is the Biggest Change This Year
It’s finally here – Cedar Point time! Cedar Point opens for its 154th season beginning this Saturday (May 6).
So, what’s new at the park?
“The centerpiece of the season is the park’s all-new midway area, The Boardwalk,” Cedar Point says in a statement. “Hearkening back to Cedar Point’s early days along the shore of Lake Erie, The Boardwalk is a modern take on the park experience of yesteryear.”
Also new, inside The Boardwalk, the Wild Mouse spinning family coaster joins Cedar Point’s lineup of roller coasters. It’s 52 feet tall and reaches speeds of 35 miles per hour. “Wild Mouse is a nod to its historic namesake,” the park states. “Now with modern technology, the coaster incorporates more hills, twists, dives and hairpin turns than the original could provide. Riders will board one of six, mouse-themed cars and one cheese car that will spin along the 1,312 feet of orange track. The coaster’s free-form spinning action changes with the number of riders aboard each car with no two rides being the same.”
Also at The Boardwalk are two relocated family rides, Atomic Scrambler and Matterhorn. Calypso, Giant Wheel, Troika, GateKeeper and Dodgem also adorn The Boardwalk. A new restaurant at The Boardwalk is Grand Pavilion’s waterfront bar, which will serve frozen, traditional and signature beverages and cocktails. “Inside, the bar has numerous and comfortable spaces to gather and relax, while outdoors, three massive patios provide breathtaking views of the park, The Boardwalk and the very Lake Erie beach that made Cedar Point famous,” the park says.
