A question for Walt Schmidt

Hi Walt,love your pictures.How do you manage to get into the park while it's closed?

Probably a good pair of sneakers and some wire cutters?

Actually there are a couple different "fan" sites which maintain a good relationship with the park and are afforded such perks as being able to get off-season photos. Their relationship allows the rest of us to enjoy a vicarious look at the park that most of us will never get to see.

Walt works for the CIA...

In Dec of 2003 I tried to get into the park,but the guard wouldnt let me.We drove all the way from the tollway,but werent allowed past the gate.

Are you the web master of a "fan site" of Cedar Point?

The park's closed.

Walt and I have been running our sites for five and seven years, respectively. We have long-standing relationships with the park.

I know the park was closed.I just wanted to drive around the perimeter,back to the Breakers.(duh)

Well, Allan, without the right credentials, you can't get very far during the off season. There isn't much to see - a lot of snow, trains sitting around, among other trivial things. You wouldn't see anything in there that you won't see in the collection of pictures available online.

Everything you want to see will be posted by Walt and/or myself in the next few weeks.

Looking forward to it Jeff!

I want to see the inside of the frontiertown bathroom. Got any winter pictures of that? :D

So you can see the frozen urine (urine-scicles?) so-called comedians get all over?

Seriously, I've been in the bathrooms and almost the entire floor is wet with what I was afraid was urine. Yuck. People, piss in the toilets!

The floors are almost always wet. It seems there is constantly someone in those bathrooms mopping, so that's probably what it was.
