No Dive Show!

It's true about Ocean Motion being very hidden. I was at CP yesterday in line for WT with a friend who has been there more times than I have and he was shocked to find out that CP had a swinging ship. Most people walk towards WT from the maXair area, not along Kiddy Kingdom so they wouldn't even see OM.

I'm voting for a nice board walk and a snazzy well lit casino.... However unless the voters in Ohio would give the go ahead, that seems only like it will be in my dreams. Unless of course they find an indian burial ground on the beach.

I never went to the dive show, actually, I've never went to any show at Cedar Point for that matter, I'd rather be riding, so it doesn't matter to me, I hope they'll make a new ride there.

It was neat with Dolphins. Once all but one or two died, they moved in the divers. It was so obvious that "this is supposed to be a sea life show, but we don't have any, so here's some divers" that it was a little cheap looking. The area could be much better utilized.

Yay the dive show is gone!!! They took away my dolphins so karma was going to happen some time! Lets bring back the dolphins and that eerie green water!

Why are we worried about project 08 or 09; lets live in the now we havent even rode the maverick yet!!

Your dolphins died!!! They didn't take them away. There was a virus that somehow got in the tank and killed them off. Rather than subject new animals to the same deadly virus, they opted to cancel the animal act.

Actually, one survived (was it Misty or Breeze?). She was retired to a sanctuary as dolphins don't do very well alone.

I think Misty was the survivor.

Which obviously explains the issues with WT, it's sitting on a burial ground. What else would explain it's ups and downs unless it was Intamin who made it...

oh, wait. :)

I'll mostly miss those dead bodies in the water during Halloweekends.

Anyway, I'm surprised nobody's suggested that our new log flume could occupy this space. That's what I'd like to see. It could go out over the beach behind Wicked Twister. I sure miss White Water Landing...

I CAN`T BELIEVE THEY TOOK AWAY MY DIVE SHOW !

I WATCHED IT EVERYTIME I WENT WHEN I USED TO HAVE A PASS !

sorry for the caps, but I`m devastated. :(

I agree! Cedar Point needs some variety in their shows, not just all song and dance. They need stunts...like high dives!

I always loved the dive show. One reason is because it was different every year. It was also nice to sit in the stadium overlooking the lake and on a hot day feel the cool breeze come off the lake.

I sometimes wonder where CP gets their ideas to add/remove rides/attractions. I would like to be on the committee that makes those decisions!

The Dive show at CP was never really any good. Their other shows ARE good. The dive show that used to be at Sea World Ohio was great. Cedar Point's was just "meh". They kept their good shows and eliminated the poor one that barely anyone ever went to.

Never really any good? What are you talking about?? There was comedy and a lot of talent. Variety is key. No one likes to watch ALL song and dance (at least I don't).

I wouldn't say ALL of CP's other shows are good. Molly and Maverick is OK, but I certainly wouldn't say "good".

Every time I was at the dive show, there was a decent crowd. You also have to consider...some people that go to the shows are just doing so to get out of the heat. Sure, there is a cool breeze at the Aquatic Stadium but you aren't truly "out of the heat". That could be one factor as to why the stadium doesn't fill up on a 95 degree day

I found the Dive Show at CP very similar to the one at Sea World Ohio, and I enjoyed both shows.

What is disappointing about not having a Dive Show is that LiveE has one less show this year, and one less thing for non-riders to do.

I would love to see them expand the entertainment. Although the ice skating show is a plus, they lost the Imax movie to present it. In addition, over the years, CP lost the country music show in Frontier Town and both the Hobo Band and the Beach Band.

For those of you too young to remember, the county music show was in an outdoor theater next to Mine Ride's first lift. This was in addition to the Golden Palace Theater.

I wish they would bring back the Hobo and Beach bands. They added a lot to the midway atmosphere and they were a lot of fun.

Yes, I remember the country music show between the CCMR and SRF. There were wooden log benches you sat on, which were removed to accomodate Skyhawk. I have to admit, I've never watched that show, because I am not a big fan of country music.

As for the Hobo and Beach bands, they were GREAT midway entertainment. Last year, Geauga Lake had the Boogie Down Band and they were superb. I have heard they moved this band to KI.

Cedar Point needs to have entertainment for ALL ages, and not just target ages 12-32 (or whatever their target age is). While my 82 year old father just loves the ice show and Dazzle Beyond Divine, he didn't seem too crazy about Molly and Maverick. I sometimes think it would be a wise choice for the crowd of senior citizens to have some type of big band show that would date back to their era. Heck, even a "Laurel and Hardy" type show would draw a crowd of all ages, I think.

CP officials need to read PointBuzz to see what the general public wants!
