Intro:

Getting closer to the park excitement builds. As each sign directing you toward your final destination makes the heart pound, you know you’re in for a great day. Finally you get out of the car and hear seagulls squawking as they fly overhead and screams from those already enjoying the rides. Cedar Point has been a summer tradition for millions over its lifetime. How did this all start? How has innovation and management evolved this park into what we know it as today?
