Cedar Point History Circa 1964

I'm doing research on Cedar Point for a story that takes place in 1964, the year of the Blue Streak.  If anyone out there knows what kind of uniforms were worn then, what the layout of the park was, etc. the information would be greatly appreciated.  I've consulted the book "Cedar Point:  The Queen of American Watering Places." and had only a little bit of luck with that time.  I'll take information from 1960-1964 if it's all you have.  Thanks.

I will have to dig a little, but I believe I have some things in my collection from this time period that would be useful to you, including (I think), a park map from the early 60's.

CP Irvine is a walking dictionary/encyclopedia of Cedar-Pointesque information.  I guarantee you'll find a plethora of research in her department.  Take a look see.  Rob knows a library's worth of tidbits also.

I'm working on it, Jeeze!!

     I just happened to go back and check to see what I had this weekend to update my website.  The oldest pics I had were from 1968.   I'll have to check with my mom to see what she's got in her "memory" trunk from when I was a kid in the early 60's.

Isn't this the kind of stuff a visit to the Town Hall should be able to answer??

A 1964 park map is available here. I have some other things from 1963 and 1964 as well that will be posted when I have a chance.
