Bryan Edwards departed Cedar Point.

I would be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to publicly thank Bryan for everything he's done for us over the years. He has been a friend to me personally and to this site since, well, long before this site existed. Good luck on your next adventure, my friend.

Indeed, Bryan invited me to his wedding way back in the day, and in recent years was the guy who recovered my kid's bedtime stuffed animal when it was left behind. Countless favors and perks in between. Millennium Force is so well photographed during construction because of Bryan's many invites up that winter. Good luck, sir!

Never met him but he seemed like a great guy. I am sure he will still be with CP in some way or another with his new role.

I'll miss running in to him up there, and him always shaking my hand and saying hello. Bryan is a great guy, and LESI is lucky to have him.

Bryan was one of the many people at Cedar Point who helped my little "Face your Fear" project at the University of Mount Union tick. I don't really "know" him (meaning personally outside of his job at Cedar Point), but by the way he treated me and all of my students year after year, you would never know it.

It will be strange having our group show up at the park this October and not be greeted by him.

A class act and just simply a great person to be around.

Well at least now he doesn't need to worry about being pressured into riding new coasters on media day. :)

Wait, you're the professor that conducted that project? I think it is absolutely amazing and a very interesting way to teach. If you don't mind me asking, what field of study do you teach? Usually I would assume Physics since that would cover a lot of how rides work. But judging by the purpose of that project, I want to assume Psychology.

Guilty as charged, and thank you for the compliment. The course this project is assigned to is Abnormal Psychology (a course about all sorts of mental illnesses and behavioral disorders), so your assumption is correct as it deals with the diagnosis and treatment of phobias and anxiety in general. This year should be especially fun, but more on that later. :) October 18th. Come out to the park and play with us!

I continue to be impressed with how generous and courteous Cedar Point's staff has been to us, and I have heard nothing but great things from other groups as well. "Above and beyond" is an understatement.

Hey Kevin, is that like the brain Igor picked out in Young Frankenstein? You know, "Abby Normal"... ;)

"Abby something... abby... normal......"

And now I have something abnormal to show them on the first day this Monday.
