The Boardwalk - New for 2023
The Roost was so symbolic of that whole stretch. I hesitate to ever call it a midway, because it was so devoid of life or any type of meaningful decor to tie it together for so long. Given its real estate value so close to the beach/water, this facelift is going to feel amazing.
Promoter of fog.
Recent midway facelifts include this one, Frontier town, Valravn, Gemini. Frontier trail has the old/ nostalgia vibe as it is. Main midway with the regular plantings and building updates.
Dragster or Stage areas next?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new fries location across the street as part of the new stuff over there. Maybe one for fries and another for ice cream. That would certainly by very boardwalky. It’s clear something will appear there but it’s unclear just how much room there will be for stuff like that. Looks like not much, I could be wrong.
(As much as I love CP’s (expensive) fries I’d be just fine with a location that served those skinny, salty, vinegar fries like Thrasher’s, a name east-coasters will recognize.)

I would imagine the midway east of Corkscrew's corkscrews would be among the next places up for a refresh. It's going to be strangely quiet in that area with Matterhorn and Scrambler gone.

Wait to complain? You should ALL take that advice. I now remember why I haven't even as much as
looked at this site for many months. You people are not objective.

In here is an aerial shot of Boardwalk and it indeed looks like there’s plenty of room on the back side of Wild Mouse between the coaster and the actual boardwalk. Fries, Ice Cream, AND Taffy!
(and probably a sizable queue…)
The Roost was amazing - Best Chicken - To bad it was only open twice when we visited. I hear that is was a family owned / ran stand. and they had a rough schedule. I can see there being space to open a "Boardwalk Fries" type stand. I see they are also leveling out the Gatekeeper / Food Plaza. I will assume it will no longer have stairs - making the area open up for people with issues using stairs. I am excited for the refreshed area. Come on 2023!
Do you think the Lake Erie weather is good on the new coaster? Shouldn't they have waited to build it in the Spring?

It was a normal Cedar Point location that served Cedar Point food. As The Roost, it literally operated for maybe three weeks in, I believe, 2021.
I'd like to know if "The Roost" had any connection with "The Roost" in the Speedway station on US-23 just North of Delaware at Hills-Miller Rd. The logos look too close to be a coincidence...

It feels like just yesterday they replaced the Space Spiral location with pavers, chairs and overhangs. I am a bit surprised they are redoing that already, but I guess it has been 10 years now!
Enjoy the rest of your day at America's Rockin' Roller Coast! Ride On!
I feel like lately those chairs were just to get an early view of the parade, or wait for someone to get off gatekeeper. It's kinda out of the way. I hope the food stand there and where roost was will both get some attention. They've clearly got options, but since this side of the path wasn't included on the public release plans, who knows...

From my Googling, it looks like that location is actually called “Raise the Roost”, and the logo isn’t really similar at all.
