I had fun looking up the answers to your quiz when you posted it but didn't submit the answers. Are you going to post the answers, too? It was very interesting!

I was looking at some old maps and thought #12 was Twister.

By the way, where in the world was the Cedar Point Chapel?

Boy, Cedar Point sure had a lot of picnic areas. But back then, picnics were a very popular pastime.

The chapel used to be in the building that is between Joe Cool and the Coral Dining Room.


I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

^^That 1966 brochure/map was printed in the off-season (before the season started) and there's about 4 major mistakes on there, but I'll get into that at another time.
Twister was up front on the main midway about where Donut Time is today. The red Jaycopter ride in the 1964 overhead picture was by the old games area (slightly outside in the main parking area). It was a short lived attraction that debuted at the World's Fair that year.

As a child of the 80's I find the clown shown for Kiddieland absolutely terrifying.

But in all seriousness... What all was in the wax museum?

^It depends on the time period you are talking about. During the early years when it was called the Eden Musse, alot of bizarre true crime figures and infamous people throughout history were shown in different scenes. In the later years (1967-69)when it was renamed the Hollywood Wax Museum, famous celebrities/Tv personalities were immortalized in wax such as Bob Hope,Natalie Wood,etc.
Hope that helps.
