Cedar Point Closing Early

It looks as the park is closed @ 9:30 on the maXair cam, weather channel.com has extremely heavy rain for the area on the dopplar, I guess I just never thought of this but does Cedar Point close early for extreme Weather?

I don't know, but at least one of the cams is working again. I've never heard of them closing early, even with a tornado watch or warning.

nevermind now it looks as though Wicked Twister is starting to light up...

I know of one day a few years ago that they closed early, but that's one day in the 33 years I've been visiting the place. :)

Normally, they ride out bad weather.

Hey Dave-- I bet that was August 14, 2003-- The day of the "Black-out"

They actualy closed early in 2001 on a friday in october because it was sleeting out and there were only about 500 people in the park.

Nope, park stayed open till 11. They even got some of the coasters open for some last rides after the crazy storm. The weather was crazy though. The first storm was bad, but the second one was insane.

I was there during the blackout. Very odd the way the park went silent.

On June 1st, 1997 the park closed early to to a torrential rain. It rained all day. No major rides opened at all. There were actually more employees waliking around than guests. I worked in foods and my stand maybe made 500 dollars and a usual day we pulled in about 4000 dollars. I remember it was the first day I didn't have to work late and was actually excited to go home early. Despite the rain I decided to go check out the Chaos construction before heading back to the dorm. I thought with the nasty weather I would go try out the new midway market and that's when the park closed at 6.
