Ok, I'm 47 years old! Grew up 40 minutes from Cedar Point, went there every summer! My own kids had season passes for years, but they never got to see the double ferris wheel, my personal favorite or the upside down fun house- remember that one? Grandma on the ceiling rocking with her cat!

[goofbaugh]

The double ferris wheel scares the crap out my brother even today,,, I loved it and the funhouse with the slanted room. :)

[daveensign]

The upside down funhouse rocked! It amazed me as a kid! That old WAS creepy! Didn't the cat's tail move just in time to avoid the rocker? Incredible fun. Is there anywhere I can find out more about that funhouse?

Too bad that Cedar Point removed the upside down house. That was cool and unique!!

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT VIDEO!!!!

You're not the only one that remembers the funhouse. I was terrified of it when I was a child. I cried because my parents left me in there by myself and I had no idea how to get around inside it. I was lost inside. It's not there anylonger from what I read.

I truly wish I could remember Mill Race, although any trace of it in my mind appears to have vanished completely. However I do remember Pirate Ride. My first time ever at Cedar Point was on a cold rainy day in the summer of '91 when I was 6 so needless to say I'm bit of a youngling. Although it's still great to see these videos.

Thank you for the wonderful time down memory lane. I, too, "grew up" at Cedar Point. I've never seen video of the Stage Coach Ride, although I remember it well. I also remember being a "deputy" on the train and shot the train robbers at the end of the ride (that's why there are humans laying close to the train tracks in some of the video shots). Where have the years gone???

[nostalgiabufff]

I remember the double ferris wheel when it was at the entrance to the park!

[nostalgiabufff]

These were truly the best of times. The early sixties when things were so innocent. No violence either. I sure miss it. I live 90 miles from Cedar Point and I took my first love here so many, many years ago. "Wouldn't it be nice" was our song and this video makes me happy and sad at the same time. =*( You couldn't have timed the music any better i.e. at 1:00 when the Beach Boys chime in and that train is heading around the bend. Bravo!! Thanks for the memories and thanks for posting! Mark =D
