My first visit to Cedar Point was in 1973. (Yes. I'm old.) That year, there were four coasters in the park: Blue Streak, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Jumbo Jet (located about where GateKeeper's station is) and Wildcat (located, at the time, where Windseeker and the Extreme Sports Stadium are).
I'm pretty sure my first coaster was Blue Streak. I know I wasn't tall enough to ride Jumbo Jet.
Nice trip down memory lane.
Jr. Gemini was my first coaster ever, quickly followed by Cedar Creek Mine Ride. I loved, loved, loved Mine Ride, and rode that coaster hundreds of times as I built up the courage to ride my first big coaster, which of course was the Gemini. Of course, this is back in the day before even Magnum graced the skyline of CP, so yes, there was a time when Gemini was considered very big. :)
Promoter of fog.
