October 2016 update

I began the weekend by making a quick trip to Battery Park where I took some beautiful pictures of the ever changing Cedar Point Skyline.

This weekend I had a chance to visit Cedar Point and check things out. The park was very busy this weekend and most rides had a long line. It was Columbus Day weekend so the park had extended hours, but it was still a fun weekend.

Over in Challenge Park, Ripcord had been dismantled a few weeks ago and is  currently sitting in pieces on the former site of the Go Karts.

Crews are painting Ripcord so that it will be ready to begin its new life!

On the other side of Challenge Park, Challenge Golf has been completely removed. The area will become home to a parking lot that is needed for the 2018 expansion of Hotel Breakers.

Challenge Park began its life at Cedar Point in 1961 as Cedar Classic Miniature Golf. It was located on the west side of Kiddy Kingdom where the 4x4's are now located. I was moved in 1967 to where Planet Snoopy now is located. In 1992, the attraction was redesigned and relocated to Challenge Park where it was renamed Challenge Golf.

Demolition has began on the building that was most currently home to Cinnabon  and Auntie Ann's. Over the years this building was used as Subway, an arcade and a cafe style restaurant.

Inside the Park work is differently happening to Mean Streak, the parks 25 year old wooden roller coaster that got its Axe September 16, 2016. 

In certain areas, the track has been removed from the ride.

On the lift hill, not only has it started to have its track taken down, certain parts of the hill have been removed entirely!

Due to the ride being at the back of the park, and being a twister coaster, it is difficult to get pictures of the ride.

The rides entrance and exit have both been bordered up. The entrance sign has also been taken down.

Another surprisingly fun thing i got to do is watch Spooky Shenanigans.

The show is very entertaining and is a great experience!

It was a great weekend at Cedar Point!
