Brought back a lot of memory's I was in high school in the 70s and lived in Mansfield Ohio about an hour away. we would go to Cedar point 5 or 6 times in a summer. Forgot what it looked like back then. Just took my son there that got home from the army yesterday. Told him the mine ride was a main coaster back then. He said No Way... Thanks for sharing !!

gary wilson It’s funny to think that you & I could have stood side-by-side back in the day. My family went every summer. Later in high school (“ ‘81 is #1!”), went a lot with friends. Then, I worked there in ‘84, ‘85 & ‘86. I probably helped you on and off rides!

My first visit to CP was The Bicentennial Summer of '76.. Didn't ride the Corkscrew, being new I'm sure the lines were long. (Rode it in '82). But I did ride the Jumbo Jet with my brother. This is wonderful footage, thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Pure nostalgia. I went there in 1979 as a jr high schooler. Thanks so much for posting! Here’s a tip for those of you riding the blue streak: before the bar lowers over your knees to secure you, lift your knees up. This will give you more room to move in your seat. On hills, you will feel like you’re about to fall out, because you are. #Old-school.

Wow, the quality was great! If that's 8mm it's amazing, Looks like 16mm! and the exposure is spot-on (usually the biggest problem with home (color film) movies is exposure.) This looks way nicer than even a good video camera from 10-15 years later!

Sweet footage. Clean cut kids having a nice day. Love those 70's bell bottoms. I would have been this age at the time. Husband and son took a coaster month, traveling around and visited Cedar Point in 2004. We hail from Florida and love to visit new parks. They had a terrific time here. I wonder if the people in the old timey cars recognize themselves from this and how cool that would be. The mother and baby well, that was beautiful to watch. Thanks!
