Does anyone know the original location of Switchback Railway on the peninsula?
Between the old Grand Pavilion and the beach, so that would be roundabout where the parasail is now.

Where were the Bobs and Cyclone?
[CP had both a Church Bobs [ala Riverview] and a Cyclone [ala Travers and Church]. And they tore them down. insert Charleston heston quote here]
It was actually built next in front of the Grand Pavilion. It ran due north to where the Hotel Breakers area, not where Disaster Transport is. Diagram of ride I have drawn is at http://cedarpoint.virtualave.net/history/images/switch.gif
