Show and Tell

It's Friday. Isn't that typically show & tell day? We have a few things to show you. First, we had a repeat performance of yesterday's bizarre foggy weather and we captured another photo for you to see: We've always said that our weather on Lake Erie is, well, Eerie. There you go. Totally unrelated to the weather, I forgot to post a screen shot of Cedar Point on the Today Show. If you recall, I was there to support our Rock Band, Live auditions, so I decided to head over to Rockefeller Plaza to say hi to Matt, Meredith and Al, along with my friend Chuck from Dorney Park. Hilarity ensued. And if you missed it.... Finally, Shoot the Rapids construction is moving along, and the station roof is now being erected. There's lots more to see over in our construction gallery!

Did You Catch This?

Combine one part cool evening, one part snow and ice still on the ground and the lake, and two parts warm temps during the day and you get this: Rides and coasters so high they climb above the clouds! Keep your eye on the park webcams - you never know what you'll see.

The Big Winner

Congratulations are in order. Remember when we asked you to vote for Chris Linn a while back? Well, the results are in and Chris was named "Entertainer of the Year!" He received his award last night in Las Vegas. Chris gave a 3-hour-long acceptance speech, so we'll paraphrase here and just say "Thank You" on Chris' behalf. ;) Congrats, Chris!

Great Time to Get Work Done

It's gorgeous outside. The sun's been shining all day and I have to say, when the sun's out, I think everyone's attitude changes. Let's face it - months and months of clouds and gray colors gets old. Even I get cranky! But anyway, on the way into the park today, I snapped a photo from the main parking lot. I thought it looked cool, so I'll share: Love it. Coming in to this view every day never gets old. Never. Speaking of not getting old, we have a brand new ride that's being constructed. One interesting fun fact about the construction process: because the site is so cramped (vehicles, people, equipment all moving at the same time), workers are pre-fabricating some of the pieces over on the midway. These pieces are things like walls, supports, trusses for the station roof. Here's a piece of the station that's waiting for installation: I'll stay off the "rapid" jokes and just say they're moving fast out there. This allows them to just "drop" assembled pieces into place. Makes things a lot easier. More photos of the ride from today will soon be posted to the Shoot the Rapids construction gallery.
