In looking at all of the windows in the second floor framing, I'm thinking the old twin section will have hotel rooms again.

Twin section? You mean off the main rotunda?

They said from the start that the renovation was going to restore rooms to those areas and where they hadn't been offered for years due to lacking bathrooms I believe. What I don't know is the history and timing of when the rotunda rooms were shut-down.

Should be gems to get if they aren't booked all season, or cost a few car payments to use.

The twin section was off the lobby, not the rotunda. It was called the twin section because of identical "twin" sections above the entrance hallway. Only the left section was open in recent years. The rooms were, I believe, even cheaper than Bon Aire. The hallways were on the second floor of the lobby, accessed from the walkway that went all the way around the second floor.

I used to stay in those rooms whenever I wanted to do the Breakers on the uber-cheap. I remember getting a room there for 49 bucks. The rooms were more like dorm rooms, but with a tiny bathroom. There was a rack with hangers to hang things up. The door had a transom.
The rooms to the left had an outside view, such as it was, but the ones on the right side were close to another part of the building and had stick-on opaque film so you couldn't see out of the windows. At all.

Those rooms were often used to house the rowdiest of school groups. Which I can personally attest to.

I don't understand this new view? On the second camera, Cedar Point moved one of their cameras and all I see is the top of a roof top along with Cedar Downs? Was this an accident or purposely done?

I was wondering the same thing. Now we can't really see the demo of GTT either

purposely definently i miss it too

It's been very windy in northern Ohio. I wouldn't rule that out.

It's dark, but it looks like the Webcams are moved back to normal positions.

It looks like they may be starting the Bon Aire demolition right now.

I just saw a huge chunk of roof come down.

GTT demo is probably complete now. But I love that we can watch the construction of the new Lakeside Pavillions. The renderings look beautiful and I love that you'll be able to enter it from inside the park.

That should eliminate the bottleneck that always happened at that entrance when people were going to or coming from a catered meal.

Check the Breakers web cam. Bye bye old section.

If they could connect Breakers to the Grand Pavillion by some type of seasonal tent/tunnel, wouldn't you have the makings of a year-round venue? Just suggesting.

I thought GTT would've been completely gone now since they began the Bon Aire demolition.

The top webcam is covered in ice right now and the second one is halfway covered in ice.

Meh, come back when there's a "giant" spider on the lens. ;)

Or a guy peeing behind a building.

Sadly Jeff,

I'm willing to bet most of the "regulars" on the site these days don't know about that and were probably still in grade school at the time. :)

Well fortunately, nothing ever really disappears on the Internets!
