I believe this is what your looking for but I don't know any others ones besides these.

thats what i was lookin for thanks. I have no idea how i didnt see that.

And while we're on the subject, just to clarify, is there a reason everyone thinks the stadium will soon be torn down? Obviously there isn't a show in there this year, I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss a hint the park gave toward the subject.

The park hasn't given any hints, but its not like Cedar Point to board up a building and leave it that way for more than one season, and several people here have spotted people like Rob Decker and other higher ups consistently surveying that area, so I guess you can draw your own conclusions from that.

Ah. Makes sense. Thanks.

Maybe it will be replaced with a new dark ride!

I vote GCI.

^ If thats a wooden coaster than Im with you.

Not to mention the boarded up the windows by putting bolts right through the glass. The clearly don't intend on filling it with water again, at least not without replacing all the glass first.

I doubt many are going to miss that place. Every time I've seen a show in there, it was pretty boring.

I, too, vote new woodie!

The Dolphin show they had years ago was pretty good

I thought I would throw this out to anyone willing to do it...if we have a picture of that area without the aquatic stadium, what kind of space are we looking at? Even further, lets move Ocean Motion...

I know a lot of people here love Photoshop, myself included, but I don't have the time for it. So can anyone provide a pic of that area without said building?

If someone wants to mess with it, here is a cropped image from an old aerial of CP.

Thanks for posting that pic, btw. Just visualizing alone, removing the entire stadium and buildings next to it, assuming they're not used for anything else, and moving ocean motion, you'd have a pretty sizeable area to work with, and knowing the creative designs that Cedar Point often employs, you'd open the gate to just about anything. I think the long talked about boardwalk would be perfect, and would be a great throwback to the classic days of yesteryears Cedar Point.

Does anyone have any pics of the Aquarium building that was turned into an arcade before they tore it down?
I know that I have some pictures somewhere of the aquarium's that were inside, and of the outside of the building, but I can't find them anywhere.

If only digital cameras where around back then!

Also... I have to agree with Jason on voting for a GCI!

I realize this is just a rendering, but click here.

Also the demolition.

I did notice they put the bolts right through the glass, a sign that the stadium is most likely history. Is it me or did they remove a bunch of trees in front of the Ocean Motion this year?

hey, i just joined after reading this and saw the link to an aerial of the aquatic stadium and thought i would share what i came up with...

Somebody once told me that building (red circle) is over 100 years old. It does look pretty decrepit<--(Sp?) I wonder if they will demolish that along with the stadium. I agree that it will be gone during this off season. But I do not think that we will see another large project next year.

Maybe they will start early again and we will see footers before opening day '08.

I really think it is too early to talk about '08, but it is really fun to speculate.

I will see you guys on sunday. I will be with my father.
