Most likely the number and extent of incident reports at each park per year or over the course of their existence.
Actually there have been at least 2 deaths at Cedar Point while rides were in operation that I know of. One was on Cedar Creek Mine Ride back in the 60's/70's. I believe that a young boy fell out of the train, but foul play was suspected. The other one was back in the 1920's when a man was ejected from one of the coasters. I think he may have been inebriated at the time.
But that number is still incredibly, incredibly impressive with as old as the park is, and how many millions upon millions of people whom have ridden the coasters at Cedar Point. There have been many more people that have died in car accidents to and from Cedar Point, which sucks too.

I may be wrong here, maybe Jeff or one of the other mods can help me out, but it is my understanding that nobody has ever died at CP from an injury sustained on a ride, only from heart attacks and that sort of thing.

No one died falling out of Mine Ride. No one has ever died that I can think of due to some ride failure.

Go Grady...suck up to one of the "Mods" by asking a question that not only Jeff, but anyone who reads point buzz knows the answer to. How many times do we have to talk about people who've died at Cedar Point...the answer everytime, is "No one has ever died at Cedar Point due to some sort of ride failure"
Honestly... not everyone who reads point buzz knows the answer to this question, which is probably why it was asked. Stop trying to cause fights MICPlvr, it's gotten old really quickly.
Good God, we've had to suffer through 10 of your posts? Grow up and get a life!
Adapted from a PM I got from MICPLvr...
MICPLvr, I am not trying to "suck up" to anybody. I was using Jeff and the other mods as sources of information, and refering to them because they are very informed in all areas related to Cedar Point, it's history, and operations. If you don't care for my posts please feel free NOT TO READ THEM. In addition why don't you take your little punk a-- off of this forum since it is fairly obvious you are not welcome hear if you insist on insulting everyone you can with every post you make.

I don't post often, but I don't think name calling is called for. "Punk a--" is certainly not necessary, even if you do disagree with his comments.
I thought this was to be FUN? What happened?
It's not that I dissagree with his comments, he has been attacking myself and other members of the board for a couple of days now. And I am tired of it.

Based on what I've read...he's defending himself against you and several others. Not sure who's attacking who, but it's obvious who's name calling.
Wow, thank you guys. Now I'm just really excited to be going tomorrow. Looking forward to all the MAYFLIES!

If you mean that then you need some help.

Are you sure? I've looked them up, and last year they sure looked like mayflies. Whatever they are...DISGUSTING. I hate them. Last year, near Disaster Transport, they were sticking all over people's clothing. But by mid-afternoon, they were all dead and smashed onto the pavement. =)
