Cedar Point 2110

No its not a typo, I remember doing cedar point memories on here months ago. The thing is last time I was at the park this season I was walking around and thought what will this place be like in 100 years? Would I still recognize it? Would it still be open? Still as popular? Not overrun by radioactive monsters? Actually me and some friends were discussing the now aging history of cedar point dvd. I remember at the end the commentary saying something along the lines of a guest from 1870 wouldnt recognize cedar point of today except for the beach and smiling faces. So I figured I would start this, what do you think will still be there? What would have seen the end? Do you think we would recognize it?

The place will be leveled, and a hotel casino will be built on it!

Or not... :)

It'll be deserted and full of garbage because there simply won't be enough garbage cans. Oh and humans will be in space.

Sheesh! Hasn't anyone else seen WALL-E?

There Will be nothing left except disaster transport and mean streak.

The coasters will be made of people?

I could go way out on a limb about people being roller coasters. There have been fun rides!

Great question. Will there be a need for amusement parks in 100 years? Virtual and 3-D technology will be so incredible in 100 years that there may not be a need for a physical ride. People will probably just stay in their living room and ride any coaster they want in what looks like a real setting. Granted, nothing can beat the real thing, but the layout possibilities in a virtual world would be incredible...which would be too cost-prohibitive in the real world. So, I question whether CP or any amusement park will actually exist in 100 years, sad to say.

I don't know about the physical parks, but I do feel confident in saying that in 100 years, coaster nerds will still be griping about the general public putting an unnecessary "the" in front of the name of a ride, and bragging about how they were able to convince a ride operator into letting them ride a ten-foot tall coaster designed for children.

Assuming civilization is still around in a century -- not a slam-dunk proposition -- people will still want to go to special places for entertaining experiences they simply can't get at home. Maybe a home VR machine will let you experience the sights and sounds of a 300' roller coaster in pristine 1080p glory. But can it manufacture the gees your body would receive on the real thing? And could it in any way produce the sheer adrenaline from knowing you're actually dropping over a 300' precipice?

That being said, what an amusement park might look like a century from now will probably blow our turn-of-the-21st-century minds. Our quaint little tracked rides and spinny flats may seem as charming and naive to the park-goers of the future as the promenades and penny peep shows of yesteryear do to us.

As far as recognizing the beaches a century from now, don't be so certain. Some studies suggest that the Great Lakes may lose a sizable percentage of their volume and surface area over the next 50 years or so, due to changes in precipation, evaporation, and winter ice cover. Lake Erie may retreat quite some ways from today's shoreline. Which, of course, gives more leeway on how far Magnum may continue sinking.

All of this is a smoke screen, however. As Ensign Smith, I already know what the future looks like. Unfortunately, I can't tell you, since this would violate a number of important directives. But I can give a hint: I hope you like charcoal. ;)

Well, I just think they will level the whole park and they'll build condos that take up the whole peninsula. And an outlet mall, and another applebee's.......but at leat they can leave Millennium force there as an extra charge ride to go with the mall and such......:)

I envision it would be more then sights and sounds. I picture a jack (or something like that) in your head that would send signals to your brain that it can't even distinguish from the real thing. So all 5 senses. That should trigger the adrenaline :) One person rides a ride with a recorder and then they could demolish it because anyone else could jack in and live an experience indistiguishable from actually being there. But the mind can play tricks - you would still know you aren't really there, so maybe people would still go.

By that time, Ted William's head should have found a body and we could just ask him.

By then it'll turn into some kind of religious groups battle between the "The-ians" and the "Unthe-ians".

^haha nice.

I'm thinking the place will be an amusement park, but it will be a park for the highly-evolved seagulls. They'll have many rides, many based on their ability to so accuarately make "deposits."

I would think just in 15 - 20 yrs there will be CASINOS in all Sandusky's Hotels. I've heard the Wires are under the Hotels for the Machines. If this will happen; SOAK CITY and CAMPER VILLAGE will be gone, and the Hotels will grow BIGGER and the Casinos will be made there. Cedar Point maybe will get more people at the PARK if they will lower the prices or not; which I don't think they will. That has been my thought since OHIO will be making the CASINOS in the State.

I can see a racing coaster now! Dueling gulls, battle of the bay and lake!!

Gonna be interesting when someone in that salt mine gets alittle to close to the bottom of the lake, CP could quickly have enough land to start another coaster war while also adding in enough extra for the family appeal

It will be underwater.

Submarines wil go down and look at it's past, but everything would be decomposed. Soldiers will hide at Cedar Point in the nuclear war of 2065, however, the enemy of the US will find out and nuke it until it sinks. So, as ironic as it is, Magnum XL-200 will officially have sunk under water in its 200th year. The tops of all the 400+ feet coasters may be visible, however, they will be used a bay gull nesting areas. Only the magnificent Tsunami coaster (coming in 2052) will continue to operate because it can run under water. Dick Kinzel IIII will still attempt to raise prices and be one decade behind everyone else. Halloweekends will be no more :( and the ride-ops and other employees will be robots. 100 years from now will bring much joy in the first 1/2 decade, but after that, it will be misery.

100 years from now fat people will be able to ride on all the rides.

In 100 years, fat people will just be called "people"....
