- Cedar Point is one of the best amusement parks in the world. It’s often referred to as America’s Roller Coast and also The Roller Coaster Capital of the World. It’s no wonder with rides like Magnum XL-200, Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster and Steel Vengeance that Cedar Point would be near the top of everyone’s list of theme parks to get to. But have you ever wondered how this great collection came to be? I’ve always wanted to put a documentary together on the order of the current lineup including many of the World Records that were broken when completed. It’s a top destination for coaster enthusiast and I’m so excited to share it with you. The Cedar Point Documentary - Building America’s Roller Coast

Cedar Point as been one of my home parks for decades. I have been going to that park since the early 70's. I have watched, owned and seen just about every Cedar Point video there is, to an extent. There are thousands of Cedar Point related videos online and I know I will never watch them al. However, I am glad when someone takes the time to put together such a fun and chill video that can appeal to everyone. Seriously, this is one of the best Cedar Point videos I have seen since I have been going to the park. You are such a great storyteller not only with your commentary, but but the shots you choose. Pure gold! Great job!
Oh Wow Thank you so much Sean!!!! Means so much!!! Your incredible collection of footage deserves to be in a museum!!! Cedar Point is such a special park!!!
Mine too
Same cedar Point is my home park
Same here
Lucky
Before starting this, I already know this is gonna be great because you can't go wrong with an okaycoasters video :)
Badger State Coasters Exactly, couldn’t have said it better myself
Thank You !!!!!
@@Okaycoasters I watched the whole thing thru now, and I think it's ur best video yet imo
Got that right!!!
I really appreciate that so much !!!
That ending. WOW! Ninja's were slicing onions again...
Wow, that ending had me in tears. There is nothing more pure than the love a parent has for their child.
Or maybe it made me cry because i was cutting onions (for real xD).
This is by far your best video yet! I love your content so much!!!
Thank you so much!!!
That ending made my heart melt, so I don't think it was just the onions. Really painted the picture of sitting in that seat, but paying more attention to your own kid (from a guy that doesn't have any yet) than to the coaster itself.
Well said Basti. I also teared up at the end.
I re watch this video every couple months or so........ while I don't have steel vengeance to ride with my kids, I got to experience my first RMC At the same time my 10 year old daughter....... twisted cyclone, and we get to do iron gwazi together in about 2 months. Someone must be cutting onions in here, my eyes are watering

Please please PLEASE do this with more parks! This was so well made.
Thank you so much!!!! I plan to continue making videos for many more years.
@@Okaycoasters I know I’m way late to this video, but this comment just made my night 🤩🤩 Every video of yours is NEXT LEVEL!
when you have kids , that ending hits hard
Thank You!!!!
I’m not a kid kid I’m old kid but I love coasters
He doesn’t have to go this hard with his videos, but he does, he does that for us 😭
Thank you so much for the kind works!!!
No words
Except this one: AMAZING!!!
Thank you so much for all the support !!!!
I've never seen a a roller coaster documentary that has been this well made. From the music to the clips to the narration, all perfect. And that ending of course left an emotional punch. Keep up the great work! :)
2:43 I think you meant hybrid, cuz it sure ain't a hyper.
Yup I sure did! Good catch
@K Fox haha
Thank you for this comment. I was scratching my head.
Oh to the creator of this documentary, if Cedar Point doesn’t make you their official spokesperson, THEY SHOULD!! This is a masterpiece! VERY NICELY DONE!!!
This isn't a documentary, this is a work of art!
i’ve watched this video 42 times and the way it’s put together shocks me every time. Absolutely incredible job!
Welcome Back okay coasters!!! We missed your incredible content!!!
Thank You !!!
You’re a great dad! I watched this with my 6 year old daughter (tomorrow’s her first trip to cedar point!) and the end made me tear up. I’m so excited for her to experience all of the coasters and get that same feeling I got on my first trip to cedar point.
Thank you so much! I Hope it was a great day
Ive been waiting almost a week to find 19 minutes to watch this, and it was worth it. Especially the parts where you got into TTD and SV. Just awesome
Thank you so much Airtime Thrills !!!
Just the thought of knowing I have been on all of these coasters gives me chills. Haven't been in years so Steel Vengeance is calling me.
The ending to this video made it amazing. A priceless memory to share forever with your son.
OH HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!
Seriously, I was starting to get worried. And then while I was out working I got the notification that not only was there a new video from Okaycoasters, but it was a nearly 20 minute docu on the history of CP coasters. After what has been a brutal and at times depressing summer, you definitely made my day. This is by in far the best roller coaster video of the year. Job well done sir.
Wow......Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that. It really makes my day
@@Okaycoasters Well your videos make my day. I've been inspired by your work to start up my own coaster channel but thanks to the beer flu I had to cancel my road trip to CP till next year. Then again I might start up a board game channel (Since there are so few, lol).
Keep up the great work.
@@beau_thielen The Sun and Cloud agreeing? It's like cats and dogs living together. 🤣
Phenomenal as always! 👏🏿👏🏿 Absolutely love the family inclusion with the kids. Grooming young enthusiasts. I don't know if I've been more motivated to go to cedar point now.
Thank you so much AirTime Myke!!!
Makes the heart melt when you get to the end and get surprised by a very pleasant turn to include the family!
Go to the Point, best times of my life. Be sure to get the fast lane so you can ride Maverick 6 times while your there ;)

... um YES. THIS IS TOP QUALITY! * subscribed *
Thank you so much for the support !!!
I have so many memories of this park. While I went in previous years, 1996 is the first visit I really remember. I was with family and friends, and I was a scaredy cat, lol. I hated heights, and I refused to go on anything that went upside down. That is until my friends peer pressured me into trying the Witches Wheel. Turns out, going upside down is really, really fun, and Raptor would be my first "big girl" coaster. A few years later I would again be peer pressured, but this time onto Magnum, and I loved it. Which of course meant that when Millennium Force was introduced, I had no excuse not to try it. But this time I nearly hyperventilated when I first saw it looming above the horizon, refused to speak to anyone in line, and, sadly, was too terrified to end up enjoying it. XD
Seeing these coasters introduced in chronological order brought me back to those days, and the bit at the end made me wistful that I wasn't able to take my nephews this year. Last year was their first trip, and like me, they were scaredy cats, lol. But the older said he'd gotten the courage to finally try some of the bigger rides, and was disappointed he wouldn't get to this year. Maybe by next year he'll be ready to make an even bigger leap (though sadly there's no longer a Witches Wheel to get him used to going upside down).
I can think of only one thing that could make your footage better...
Full coaster trains! (Thanks, COVID!)
Maybe next year.
Seriously, I am completely impressed by your footage. The way you use angles and lighting within your shot to capture the depth of field makes everything look great. Even the zoomed shots of Steel Vengeance were excellent. Maybe some day you'll be able to bring your equipment into the que. Or maybe just a cell phone.
It is obvious that you put tons of work into storyboarding your videos and writing meaningful commentary. Your music choices are very good, and your narration always sounds like we're sipping iced tea on your front porch. So personal and so professional at the same time. For me, all these things make your videos memorable and make me want to share them with others.
Your tribute to your son brought tears to my eyes as well. I have such fond memories of riding all the coasters at Cedar Point with my son (now 21) and my daughter (17). They grow up fast so don't miss out on even the most seemingly insignificant moments.
Thanks for adding that personal touch to your videos.
Keep up the great work!
All I can say about ur videos is
WOW. I never get goosebumps from any videos apart from urs.
Thank You so much......I appreciate that
I just wanted to pop down here into the comments to say that the quality of this video is exceptional... really well done! Such amazing shots... 🎟🤘🎟
Cedar Point. Gosh the memories. From the mid-80s to mid 90s I'd go multiple times a year. Sometimes with the family. Sometimes with friends. Blue Streak, Corkscrew, Gemini.....it was always exciting to see what would come out next. Then I moved to STL and realized how spoiled I had been all those years. Incredible location. Incredible rides. Incredible memories. LONG LIVE THE ROLLER COAST!!
5:57 Magnum XL-200 still slaps. Some people say it's rough but that's only comparatively speaking. I ride it pretty much every time I go to the park!
Just leaving this amazing timestamp for myself 0:57
Just visited there August 29th. Great time to visit. Very light crowds that time of year. Around 20 minutes for the Millennium Force. That was the longest all day
I always have to brace myself for your videos, and when I saw this title, I knew I needed to set aside the time and prepare for this one. Whatever kind of style your videos would be called, you are by far the best! And when you started talking about riding Steel Vengeance with your kids, that really got me. Who started peeling the onions? You're the best youtuber, but an even better dad.
Wow!!!! Thank You so Much !!!!!!
I had the same experience late this season with my daughter! We went to CP on an impulse after having been to KI the Sunday before for the 8th time that season. She had never been to CP and all the POV's and talking about how great it was came to head when the first ride of the day was Steel Vengeance front row! Like she said afterwards, "I screwed like a baby and said all the words!" She was hooked and I've never seen a smile like that on her ever! Its been 11 days now and we still havent taken our Fast Passes off and we touch them each day like they are our super powers coming together. It truely was the greatest day ever with her! Ty for the documentary and I will def be sharing it with her!
Excellent video on my home park....America's Rocking Roller Coast.
When I first watched this, I thought at the end I was watching a full-on movie. The editing is actually insane.
Ok. I’m hooked on your content.
My father took me to Cedar Point in 2000. As we drove up we saw Millie there, I was terrified. But I had my dad there with me, so I was good. Millie, Magnum, Maverick and Dragster (where I worked for 2 summers) were all first row, first rides with my dad. Thank you for this video, truly, from the bottom of my heart.
This is by far your best video so far and one of my favorite Cedar Point videos. Michael Jackson had "Thriller" as his Masterpiece and you have "Cedar Point The Winning Formula".
Thank You!!!
I’m here before Top Thrill 2 debuts!!!!!!!! Dragster was my favorite coaster at Cedar Point, and I can’t wait for its new version to break out!!!!!!
This is Incredible!! I could see this video winning in a film festival!! I love this documentary!! We need to create an Enthusiast film festival so this can win!
Thank You so much !!!!
Cedar Point eluded me my whole life due to just well... life being life... Last year my wife and my 13 and 15 year old set out for a 3 day stay and it was one of the most FUN times we have ever had. My kids loved all the coasters and it is BY FAR my favorite park i have ever been to. Great Video!
After watching your video, I have to say you have been able to bring out the same level of thrill, excitement, fun, and nostalgia that a visit to Cedar Point has. I worked at the park as a ride operator from 2000 - 2003. In that time, I was blessed to have worked on several coasters. Among those were Raptor, Millennium Force, Disaster Transport, Wicked Twister, and Mantis. I also was given the opportunity to experience some of the smaller rides. Space Spiral, Big Wheel, and Schwabinchen. ( Sadly, Schwabinchen, Space Spiral, and Disaster Transport are no longer there. ) Each one brought with it a unique experience. From the sights and the sounds of the coaster in operation to the amazing people and crews I got to interact with, each one holds a special place in my memory and heart. Your video brought me back to that special place and time. I found myself with a smile ear to ear and, at times, had to choke back a tear or two. Thank you for this wonderful tribute to Cedar Point.
Same here!! Ran the Rotor, Funhouse, Sky Ride, and Wildcat in 1980, Demon Drop and Kiddie Land in 1990, and the Hotel Breakers in 1991. Being an employee was the best job ever!! Now, I'm doing some part time work at Cedar Point this Coronavirus 19 season in Food Operations, and I still love it!! It really IS a place like no other!
Its something special about being with your little ones on their 1st big ride! That will forever be worth whatever the price of the trip is! Salute brother #DadGang
Honestly I just wished @okaycoasters would come back and upload. 😢 your editing and storytelling is so good man, just anxiously awaiting your top thrill 2 video and the second part to this since I first watched this 2 years ago! Hope you’re doing ok and thanks for all you’ve done for rollercoaster fans!!
This has to be my favorite video on Cedar Point I've ever seen. The end got me a little teary-eyed. Great job man!
This seriously have to be my favorite theme park, 1.1b/10⚡️⚡️⚡️
Why am I crying at the end of this. Truly incredible stuff. You deserve all the praise.
This is hands down the best tribute to Cedar Point I have ever seen. It had me excited with chills all throughout. However, the end of the video literally brought me to tears. I had this exact same experience with my daughter earlier this year. Her first ever "big" coaster was Steel Vengeance. Initially she was terrified, but after that first hill a terrific smile appeared on her face and in that moment she became a roller coaster enthusiast like her Dad. We will forever share that first ride on Steel Vengeance with each other. That moment was rare and fleeting and powerful, and you summed it up perfect here in this video. Happy tears. Thank you! Subscribed.
Thank you so much for the nice message. That was a great story and a wonderful memory! Thanks for the support too!
INSANE!!! I’ve only watched this video once but I know I’m gonnna come back at least 100 more times
2017 was your 1st time. Brother I've been going to cedar point since 1974. I've ridden every coaster they have. I'm 60 years old now and I love cedar point. I still hit those coasters and Raptor, Millennium, Top Thrill, Magnum XL, Maverick, Gemini, Steel Vengeance, The old Blue Streak, Gate Keeper, Demon Drop, Wicked Twister, Mantis now Rougarue, Sky Ride, Skyhawk, Disaster Transport, the old wild mouse, and many others keep me going back year after year. And i ride my motorcycle down from Ecorse Michigan to Sandusky Ohio 3 or 4 times a year. Its the Roller Coast baby.
I'm not sure if there's been a single one of your videos that didn't give me chills SOMEHOW... I always get that feeling...
Thank You so much!!!!
Dude this video is perfect....even got the feels at the end remembering when i took my nephew on his first big coaster at cedar point.
This honestly has to be one of the best videos of Cedar Point I’ve seen in a LONG time. The editing, music, and general feel to the whole thing was absolutely amazing and so well done! Keep up the good work!! Thank you for this awesome upload man!
Thank You !!!!
okaycoasters of course, man! Thank YOU for the amazing content!
The view from steel vengeance is amazing. Beautiful lake on one side. The greatest collection of rides on the other.
YES SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grew up here and feel so blessed for it! This video needs so much more attention because I think you've done more than just a great job at showing off everything we've accomplished through the years! Hope to see you again soon and maybe we can actually meet up and talk when you come back! Stay blessed and keep on going! I love what you're doing and know that there's plenty of others who do as well!
Thank you so much for the kind words and the support!!!
This was spectacular! You even put a personal touch on it... amazing and great work
Another great video, as I've come to expect from you! The cinematography was great throughout. That intro sequence (at 0:58) was particularly cool, with that jammin' music coupled with those great shots. And those final words, addressed to your kids, was heartfelt -- a very nice touch to conclude the video!
A great Spotlight on my home park and one of my favorite places in the whole world! Thanks for this!
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WAS AMAZING!!!
Wow this is amazing, I loved every second of it!! Great work and I cant wait for more content in the future!!
Gotta love that Marblehead POV in the opening.
This was so incredibly well done!! Your videos are absolutely flawless and I must admit the end nearly had me tearing up.
I’m not the only one that thought that intro with the coasters was AMAZING right?
Wow! Very well done. Thank you for a very lovely video of one of my favorite subjects: Coasters!
Hands down by far the best coaster channel on UA-cam!! Another great video!! Glad you're back. I've been waiting for your latest video release and in my opinion you picked the perfect amusement park and topic for your latest video. Continue the awesome work!
Thank you so much for all your support !!!!!
awhhh this video was so cuteee ! Especially the end talking about his son 🥺🥺💓
This is probably one of the best amusement park documentary that I have ever seen! Great job looking forward to more in the future!!
Incredible. It's always a special experience watching all your content. Well worth the wait.
Love this video!! My son is 14 going on 15 and I’ll never forget 4 years ago when he road Dragster for the first time. He still has the photo on his dresser. We stayed 4 days and was the best vacation ever. Riding Mean-streak front row at night before it closed was awesome as well. Great memories and love this video!!
Now that sounds like a great trip and also Thank You
The cinematography in this video is outstanding. CP has always been and always will be my home park. I will never forget my reaction after my first ride on SV. It took my breath away and I was absolutely speechless. CP continues to break barriers and I cannot wait to see what they have planned next. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
Those final lines were wholesome. I love it!
I was born in Lakewood, Ohio in 1958. I couldn't wait to be tall enough to ride the Blue Streak. Can STILL remember the rush of that first big drop!
Dude, this was amazing. Thank you.
I think its crazy that you make some of the best coaster content but only have 9k subs. And at the end it said please subscribe, man I did that on the first video of yours I had ever watched. Truly some incredible content and can't wait to so what's next from you. Keep of the great work.
Thank you for the support!!
This is an incredible video! As per usual for you, but still...such a good one!
Ok, I've been going to this park since I was five and I'm now 53. I've ridden every one of these and many multiple times, not too mention the 1st year of Magnum and Millenium Force, but you failed to mention that Steel Vengenace was once Mean Streak, a bad ass wooden coaster in its day, but glad they repurposed it to what it has become, because it's AMAZING!!!!
Cedar Point has been a firm feature on my bucket list for so long now. I thoroughly enjoy watching videos about the park and this was a brilliant one. Great commentary and footage.
This guy has a accent so Southern, and open carriers dual revolvers, and I love it
Yesssss! Another Okaycoasters video. I’ve been waiting😁
I just went there for the first time this August. I had the pleasure of taking my daughter also who is my lil' coaster fanatic just like me. We stayed at the Breakers also, which is a must I feel.
This video sums up Cedar Point perfectly, and makes me want next summer here already for our 2nd trip there.
Thank you for posting this video!
I liked before I even hit the play button because I already know this is going to be amazing.
Thanks for this lovely tribute to my childhood home park! Been coming to CP since 86. Working on overcoming major anxiety with hypercoasters so I still have a few credits to get here !!
Oh and 👍🏿👍🏿 for your work on this okaycoasters!
Amazing, quality work as always! Such a phenomenal storyteller! 👌🏼
Wow what a good video okay coasters I have been missing your content for 3 months and you came back with a bang
LOVE THE CHEESY PUMP YOU UP 80’s MUSIC!!!
thank you for sharing your passion with us !! :)
I didn't expect to be so emotionally touched at the end
Wow what an amazing ducumentary!! The end really touched my heart.
This is awesome. Always enjoy your videos. Can't wait to see that Millennium Force video
The ending though with the steel Vengeance drop holding on as tight as you can. So relatable because I held on so hard down that 1st drop… I finally faced my biggest fear of coasters. Did it recently and now I love them :D
really enjoyed this video.....gave me the feeling of anticipation every coaster fan looks for. Preciate it.... Go Vols
Glad to see ya back. Excellent video my friend. Hope all is well
you are right about one thing okaycoasters, that skyline is the best in the game.
definitely the best cedar point video ive seen. Very Good narration too.
Another work of art.
This is fantastic. You did such a GREAT job showcasing Cedar Point and the fabulous coasters there!! Thanks for putting this together and getting out there!
Thank You so much !!!
Beautiful man. Bravo!
I love the quality of your videos! Well done!
This is fantastic footage! The ramp ups and downs on the silky smooth slo-mos are my favorite.
Thank You !!!! Those are fun to edit
Damn, from a Cedar Point local this is so well done! Thank you for so much for making this. Saved and subscribed!
Sick video! I got chills when the ttd section came
Beautiful. I am so glad that my parents had the attitude that if we were tall enough..we were riding the ride. To this day we all ride everything in my family.
