What is this, the 1950's?

Camper Village didn't even open until 1971. So, no.

Speaking of perimeter road reroute...

I wonder if or when Cedars will ever come down? It's a big plot of land. I think something big will probably go in that spot in 2020 leaving Cedars to be demolished sometime in 2019.

Considering that road was refinished up to and the all new marina entrances placement, it's safe to say that perimeter won't be moved too drastically. Cedars will likely come down sooner than later, given its state of disrepair. However, it's clear that whatever replaces it will not be 'in-park'.

Agreed, prime spot for marina improvement or even upgrade of parks administrative facilities.

Marina upgraded area probably a great idea. A lot of people on here seem to focus solely on expanding the ride base, losing sight that the park makes a lot of income from out of park revenues. Mr. Ouimet has been addressing and upgrading the out of park revenue potential each year, it'll be great to see what he has in store for Cedars area.

I was at CP yesterday and I heard a rumor that this is the last year for The Cedars dorm. Can anyone confirm this? If it is it's good riddance. It was a dump when I lived there in the late 80' and I can only imagine that it has gotten worse since then.

The Sandusky Register reported They are building two new dorms behind the current commons dorms off cedar point drive. If they are confident they can get them open by Late May/ Early June next year, it could indeed be it for Cedars this year.

The good old “Last year for Cedars” rumor. Happens every year, but when will it become reality?

The Cedars were not going anywhere without additional employee housing being built. Now that new housing may be coming, the rumor of the Cedars coming down becomes much more valid.

I would tend towards agreeing that Cedars could be gone after this season, two seasons more likely, with two new dormitories being erected off peninsula. I think 2020 is ramping up to have big changes, and this is one of them. I foresee something large, whether it is one major coaster or multiple smaller projects, being tied in with the area Cedars currently occupies and Frontier Trail.

Yes, Cedars will go sometime in the near future. What a shame! I don’t know how I know this, but, certain Cedars rooms are perfectly positioned as bottle rocket launch spots! They explode right over the railroad guard shack! 😈
