Cedar Point's Opening Day (1968)




This picture, from the Thomas F. Root collection of aerial photographs shows a view of the Midway at Cedar Point on May 25, 1968. For opening day, four thousand high school band members marched through the Midway. The New Christy Minstrels performed, and there was a fireworks display after dark. You can see the Mill Race and Turnpike Cars on the left side of the picture, and the Coliseum and Kiddie Land on the right side of the picture.

    Although there is a Hampton ride south of the Coliseum, the area directly on the Main Midway was a miniature golf course. If you look closely, you can see the golf ball on top of the entrance building.
