New Cedar Point Website

PB-Reader

Just click-on cedarpoint.com, and the graphics all changed. Looks Nice.


GATEKEEPER-I came, I rode, I was mildly disappointed; until a second ride (rear left) put GateKeeper back on the...it's a nice ride list.

Not bad. Relatively simple.

Any bets on how long it takes to uniformly spread this design to the other CF parks? :)

I'm kind of surprised it still says under water rides that CP has two water rides "that are sure to cool you off".

I'm not sure I see the point in the changes. It's just different, not really better or worse. I wouldn't have spent money on it.

I agree with Jeff the changes don't look to make anything better. But it does have a huge promotion of their facebook and I kinda like the new events scroll on the bottom. They also changed the heading pictures on each page, from less rides to more families and people.

It doesn't look that bad, it it's just a little "cluttered" for my taste. The old one really looked amazing, now I don't see many colors matching as well as they did before. I would say most of Cedar Fair Park's new websites look the best out of any amusement park chain.

I have to agree with cool kid. Why does everything have to be cluttered with Myspace, Facebook, & Twitter? I liked the way it looked before the change.

It's not coming up for me. It's down! They must be getting ready to announce their REAL 2011 project!11@

The integration of the Facebook status and latest tweet is interesting.

My guess is that there are two things driving this--

1) The aforementioned Facebook and Twitter integration
2) It appears that the mobile site is gone. I'll bet the new site looks better on a mobile browser.

They took the whole blog down. Just because they weren't using it anymore doesn't mean past posts weren't informative. This is gonna take forever for me to get used too.

Mobile site works just fine and only appears to be missing the blog.

Talk about the blog going "slowly and gradually away".

Some of the blog posts are still available here: (copy and paste)

http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm"]http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm[url][url]

They could have at least left up the existing posts in an archive somewhere. There was some cool info and behind the scenes stuff posted on the blog during its lifetime.

I hope they will move the WEBCAM from the "SHOOT the RAPIDS over to the WINDSEEKER'S Place. So we can see the Construction of the New Ride 2011. They did that for the Construction for the SHOOT the RAPIDS this year.

^Get the hell outta here! No way! But yeah, we'll probably see a Windseeker cam go live after the park closes for the season.


4 summers of employment in ride operations does stuff to you.

Yes, I liked how they did that last year...it was so new and refreshing....glad they did something like that. Its a shame they didn't do that on other new rides.....oh wait.....:)

I'm worried with Tony gone and the absent blog, that maybe we won't be kept up on any advancements in the construction process.

Since Millennium Force opened, I've enjoyed following the construction of all the rides. Dragster so far being my favorite.

I really didn't think the construction updates for Shoot the Rapids was all that great. Now that the ONPoint blog is gone does anyone think POINTCasts are also defunct?
