Favorite Kiddy Ride, Then and Now
If you were young and got to visit Cedar Point what was your favorite kiddy ride? Mine was the airplanes at KK. I loved pulling the yoke and making it go up and down. I rode that a lot during one of my best visits to Cedar Point when I was just tall enough to ride the big coasters, but just small enough to get on the kiddy rides. Also, if you never visited Cedar point when you were little, or you just want to say, what would be the kiddy ride you want to ride now? The Snoopy Bounce Looks so sweet! I mean, Snoopy is seductive waving his hand saying "come inside and jump in me." I get over and see these little kids jumping higher than the Junior Gemini and I get upset. How much does a snoopy Bounce cost anyway? They cant be that expensive. One last thing, My spellchecker wanted to change KK to KKK. I dont think so.

My favorite kiddie ride was the ride with little cars that ran on miniature railroad tracks, that you powered yourself with a hand crank. These were installed in Kiddieland right next to the Coliseum. Today, if I were a child, I think my favorite would be the kiddie Dodgems.

I don't remember going on any rides when I was little but I always loved playing in Kid Aurthur's Court that had all the balls and climbing things in it, but it's no longer their because of the Giant Wheel. If I was a kid now my favorite ride(s) would probably be: Woodstock Express, Snoopy Bounce, Ballon Race,Camp Bus, or Frog Hopper.
The reason Snoopy's head looks like it's deflated at times is because when the door that the kids go in and out of is open for a small amount of time the air inside starts to leave at a faster rate than the air going into it from the pump. This happens only if: the door's not shut completly, you have a child that doesn't want to go in or come out, or if it's very windy. I know this first hand because I had the pleasure of working Snoopy Bounce at times this summer. Let me tell you it's very fun when you get to go inside and chase a kid that doesn't want to come out because then that's the only time that were allowed to go inside, unless were cleaning it out.

I don't remember airplanes but I used to really like the helicoptors that you could make go up and down. I've seen pictures of those little hand cranked cars on the railroad track and always wanted to ride them. Nowadays, I would like to ride the Peanuts 500. Looks a lot like a whip to me - probably my favorite flat ride. I never understood the attraction of inflatable bouncing things and ball pits, always tended toward the more mechanical devices.
