1920 to 1928 Brochure

Jason Hammond's avatar

I recently aquired this brochure and the best I can tell is that it is somewhere between 1920 and 1928. I'm basing that on the Bon-Air wing being there and the Racer being there.

Anyone else have any idea as to what year it might be?

Yeah, I would have to agree on the year or maybe a little later.

Either way, it's a cool piece of CP history.

Bon Air was erected in 1925. It would have to be past then. I couldn't find mention of the Racer, just a spot on the over view picture with a roller coaster. It's possible that is Cyclone, which was built on the site of Racer. Or, it could be a picture that was from a few seasons prior. Even now, they don't use current season photos for brochures, and some images might be several seasons old. Back then, I imagine they did that quite often.

It mentions the Cedars Hotel, which was closed during the depression.

My guess is anywhere from 1925 to 1930. It doesn't announce the Bon Air as a "new" section, so I would bet it's probably closer to 1926 or 1927.


Looking forward to Cedar Point- July 4th-5th, 2007!

Actually they aren't even using rides from the particular park that the brochure is from.

According to the PointBuzz hoistory section the Bon-Air Wing opened in 1920.

On Cedarpointonlakeerrie, it says 1925. I believe that's what it says in the book, as well, but I could be wrong.
