2022 Winter Chill Out Review

On Saturday, February 26, 2022 Cedar Point held its annual Winter Chill Out event. 

Winter Chillout is a charity event where guests can get a behind-the-scenes tour of Cedar Point. Tickets for the event were $65.00. The event raised over $100,000 that was donated to A Kid Again!

Midway Carrousel is wrapped up for the winter. Some of the horses are being worked on. The chariots are all being repainted.  It takes a lot of work to keep a 110-year-old ride in operation! 

Over at Ocean Motion, not much is going on. The ride is wrapped up while it waits for spring!

It had just snowed the last few days so the park was covered in snow.

The park looks very pretty when it is covered in snow. The wind can be very brutal during the winter. 

Kiddy Kingdom is all taken apart. It is very hard to recognize.

Giant Wheel's cabins are all off for the winter. Giant Wheel will be 50 in 2022!

Tiki Twirl is still in peices. Troika is all wrapped up waiting for spring!

Over at the former Wicked Twister site the ride is all gone. The control booth is the only structure of the ride that is still standing. Crews are curently still trying to remove the foundations for the ride. 

WindSeeker is standing nice and tall over the Cedar Point Beach. 

We then went to our question and answer presentation. We were given some really cool information, most of wish we are sharing with you in this blog. 

After the presentation, we went on a tour of Erie Estates. 

Erie Estates opened in 2008. It is currently Cedar Point's oldest existing haunted house. 

After leaving Erie Estates we then headed to check out the new Peanuts @ The Point Gift Shop. The park looks so calm when its covered in snow. 

The former Snoopy Boutique is receiving iving a make over. The building was built in 1965 to house The Earthquake ride. Snoopy Boutique opened in this location in 1999. For the 2022 season it is become Peanuts @ The Point. 

Across from Peanuts @ The Point is Derby Dogs. It  is relacing Subway. Derby Dogs will be the place you can get premium quality hotdogs! 

We then headed towards Valravn. 

We were able to go inside the low zone of Valravn to see its massive drop!  It really is a spectacular view! 

After leaving Valravn we then headed towards Coasters Drive-In

Coasters Drive-In is currently being remolded for the 2022 season.  Coasters opened in 2022.  The remodel will bring better service to 

In Celebration Central the parade and the show will be returning for 2022! It will be slightly altered because the 150-anniversary celebration is over. 

The Cedar Point and Lake Erie Railroad is such a cool ride. There aren't many rides like this around.  One of the trains is even being repainted for 2022. 

No trip to Cedar Point is complete without a walk down the Frontier Trail. 

Frontier Trail is so beautiful when its covered in snow. The snow enhances the look of the trail. It makes it look really cool!

The middle of Frontier Town is a huge consturction zone right now. 

In the middle of Frontier Town is The Farmhouse Kitchen and Grill. The new restaurant will have a rotating  menu. 

Cedar Creek Mine Ride is having its track repainted. Town Hall Museum will remain closed in 2022. The project has been put on an indefinite hold for now. 

On the other end of the former Antique Cars is the covered bridge. The park is keeping it and turning it into a new walking path.

Over at Maverick, we got to go into a low zone. We got to see the launch tunnel. 

Matterhorn will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2022.

Our next stop was the maintance shop. We got to see some really cool things. 

We then headed back towards the front of the park to go to Park Services. 

After Park Services we went thru the parade float barn. The floats are tucked into this tent every night. 

Our last stop at Cedar Point was a maintance building in the marina. They had Steel Vengance and GateKeeper trains in those shops. 

After leaving the park we were able to stop at the Cleveland Road Maintenance building. 

Winter Chill Out is always such a cool event. You get to see so many neat things. The event is a great experience!
