In 1989, I was 2 years old. Been back to CP every year since, at least 2 times per summer.

I first went when Mantis debuted, so I would have been 9.

I was 5 in 95', I still remember looking up at that drop on raptor. I thought it was the greatest thing in the world!

I was 4 years old when I went to Cedar Point for the first time in 1995. I remember going on Jr. Gemini and staring up at Raptor from a bench for over an hour.

I was about 2 years old when I went for the first time in 1988. Went on the boat every year ever since I have been born. Jr. Gemini was the best.

My first ever trip to CP (as my parents tell me this because I was too young to remember) I was 6 months old in 85'. Yes I was a die hard fan since I can remember

My first trip was in 1989, I was 7. I wanted to ride Magnum so bad, but unfortunately for me, I was too short to even ride the Mine Ride, *yay! Jr. Gemini!*. But I remember that even though I was too short for Thunder Canyon, I was allowed on the ride anyway because the line was very long, it was very hot outside, I was going to go on with my parents and the ride op was really nice.

When I was too short for rides I would wear my baseball cleats and stuff them with ace bandages. They never worked...

I'm pretty sure it was in 1986, so I would have been 16. I loved that place, it seemed nearly perfect and it was hard to imagine it ever getting better- but it did!

I was only 5 years old at my first visit to *~*~CEDAR POINT~*~*

I still remember one of my first trips, when I was old enough to be riding Blue Streak. Good times, they were. :)

I've been going to Cedar Point at least once annually, since I was 10. I still remember my first trip in 96 when Mantis was new, and I wanted to ride it so bad, but I was not tall enough.

*Sigh*...

I was either 4 or 5. Right now I'm 15, so it wasn't too long ago.

I was really afraid of coasters back then. I didn't even go on Jr.Gemini. I remember going on the Pirate Ride, Thunder Canyon, WWL, and all of the car rides. And I went on all the kiddie rides. My parents were bored out of their minds they tell me today. They only went on 2 rides (besides all the stuff my little sister and I went on). Blue Streak and Gemini. They had to alternate watching us and riding.

We didn't go back until I was 10. I went on some of the rides then, so it was more fun.

It was in 1978, when I was four. I don't remember the trip at all, but my parents like to talk about it. I probably just went on kiddie rides. It has been interesting to see the park evolve over the years, as well as my fear of roller coasters lessen. I'd love to ride the Top Thrill Dragster but unfortunately I've relocated to another part of the country now so it would be difficult.

My first visit was in the Spring of 1963 - I was 6 months old. But I am a 4th generation of CP. My Great Grandma, Grandma and Mom were all born in Sandusky - So I technically have been going longer than that.... :-)

I remember the Old Stage Coach Ride - and when 4 people were killed when it rolled over.

I have been to many other Parks - SF STL, GL, SWO, WOF in KC, PKI. I even worked at Six Flags STL and at Geauga Lake... CEDAR POINT is the Best by far.


Please remain seated until the ride comes to a complete AND final stop.....

I was 6 months old when I first went to Cedar Point. That was back in 1968. Too bad that I don't remember it. I've been going ever since.
