It certainly is! But they also own a maintenance shop down the road whose parking lot remains empty most of the time, and just purchased another former car dealership down the road from there that has a large garage. I'd like to think there's the possibility of moving ride storage in those spots. Of course, none of these are thoughts that are meant to be taken seriously. It's just for fun!
I like the parking garage idea as well as potentially moving most of the parking off site to reclaim most of the lot. I like your corridor idea that leads up to the main gate and the gate keeper but I would keep bus parking as far back as possible and develop that area into a shopping and entertainment center that could function year around. If that’s not an option do to off season business not being enough to support it than a beautiful green space would also be great. Baring the parking garage idea the only parking I would want on the peninsula would be VIP and on site guest parking for hotel breakers and lighthouse point. I know the previous video suggested moving the camp ground off site and while I’m ok with that it would be a last resort move since I like the idea of having a budget friendly option on the peninsula. I would sooner move cedar point shores off site before the campground and cabins. I also like the pier idea extending out from the boardwalk. That entire area could be themed like a classic pier park complete with a Farris wheel and a carnival style experience.
I like some of your ideas! The parking garage would be interesting, but how about a well secured off site parking area and your idea of a monorail that could shuttle patrons to the front gate! Since Cedar Fair is somewhat reluctant to do a garage on site, this could be a really cool option and give them a whole lot of area to expand! It may not happen but it would be interesting to explore this concept!
Definitely not going to argue with that one! But so are many of the other projects that amusement park companies do. Multi-million dollar investments are a part of that business model. Obviously, they just haven't seen a parking garage as the correct multi-million dollar investment yet...
Sure! Only issue is that there would need to be space by the park entrance for the monorail to loop around. Maybe around the outside of the parking garage?
A parking garage will never happen, it’s been suggested before and Cedar Fair reps have said 100% no. IIRC it has something to do with the permitting/planning process. They just don’t want to deal with it, especially since they have lots of off-site parking anyway.
I agree with you except the off site parking doesn’t help people get to the park. You still have to drive or get transportation to get on the peninsula as people are not allowed to walk across the causeway. I do think there should be some kind of shuttle service for at least park owned hotels. They probably won’t do it, but it would make sense.
But removing the iconic keyholes that you passed through wouldn’t be a good idea then then then the gatekeeper will be lame and boring ride then. I definitely don’t see Cedar Point removing the keyholes
Cool ideas, but please kill the rap music in the background in future videos. Very annoying trying to listen to you and visualize what you're describing while that irrelevant noise is distracting.
Please for christs sake stop hyping a monorail. They are terrible, and significantly more expensive than a basic rail mounted people mover. It is legitimately boondoggle territory like the Simpsons episode. Just normal rail, like thousands of cities use. Not monorail, which is used in like five places in the world. And that’s for a reason. Because it is shit. When you talk about monorail it only signifies that you don’t know what you’re talking about, and casts doubt on all the rest of your opinions.
I got my associate's in Yap-ology and went straight to work. Unfortunately, there weren't any classes in the curriculum on "knowing what I'm talking about". So I'm just yapping without it. Seriously, though, when I use the term Monorail, I never truly thought about the specific structure and how those differ from trains, or even the fact that monorails aren't common. I just use the term generically as a "train on a raised platform" concept. A bit careless? Maybe. But mostly harmless? I think so. I appreciate the lesson about them though. It's not something I thought about before. Thanks for watching!
CP is NOT the greatest vacation destination. Not by a long shot. It’s always crowded, the fast passes mean nothing, there’s ALWAYS multiple coasters broken or shut down, and the water park is the worst one ever. Signed…..Kingda Ka.
Never gonna happen. Cedar Fair is cheap. They won't even put a new coaster in Michigan's Adventure. Every coaster it gets (and it's been a while) is used from somewhere else.
My experience is mostly with King's Island and Cedar Point, which are definitely among Cedar Fair's favorite children. So I can't speak too much on Michigan's Adventure, but as my brother and I dive deeper into this project, expanding our conversations to other Cedar Fair parks is something that I want to do. And the lack of investment into some other parks is definitely something I'd like to talk about.
@@cedarpointless Cedar point rarely invests in anything besides coasters and rides. Even the theming for their coasters lacks compared to other parks. I don't see them doing any more than the minimum to keep operating.
@@edaltounian7118 Agreed, even the theming for Steel Vengeance is pretty much gone. Most of the signs are bleached white from the sun. Last time I was there I was thinking, how much cost/effort could it really be to just replace the signs and make the queue look nice again. It already looks used and forgotten.
Except that they are not cheap just smart. Michigan's Adventure is a water park that happens to have a dry side to it. The park is in the middle of no where and doesn't justify spending money on a coaster.
@@edaltounian7118 Except for the massive hotel renovations on the peninsula and Castaway Bay 100s of millions of dollars. Along with Sports Force park ($42 million) and Sawmill Creek resort ($15 million) Along with new restaurants and consistent general park improvements. Not counting rides but CF has spent close to $200 million plus on non ride investments.
Cedar point already has a ferry service from downtown Sandusky. They have for years. That's why they have that ferry pier on Jackson.
The empty lot next to Express Hotel is where they store incoming and outgoing ride parts during demo and construction.
It certainly is! But they also own a maintenance shop down the road whose parking lot remains empty most of the time, and just purchased another former car dealership down the road from there that has a large garage. I'd like to think there's the possibility of moving ride storage in those spots. Of course, none of these are thoughts that are meant to be taken seriously. It's just for fun!
The park already has a ferry that runs to and from the marina. It departs from Port Sandusky to bring people to the park.

glad to be the 100th sub - these videos are so high quality
Thanks! Putting a lot of effort to achieve a quality I am happy with. It's nice that other people enjoy it as well.

Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, it's fun to explore what things could look like if they made certain decisions. That's what this series is all about!
back in the 1940's there was a ferry from Cleveland to Cedar Point. I think Jet Express does limited service to the point.
Cedar Point has said NOTHING about this.
Keep up the good content! Would love to see a video on the possible future of the peanuts license
IP Is something we definitely plan to talk about in the future :)
@@cedarpointless Nice!
You should Turn down the music and use instrumentals. It is very, very distracting in headphones
Thanks for the feedback. Will take this into account in the future!
Parking garages are extremely expensive
Definitely not going to argue with that one! But so are many of the other projects that amusement park companies do. Multi-million dollar investments are a part of that business model. Obviously, they just haven't seen a parking garage as the correct multi-million dollar investment yet...
I don't think there's no problem with entry
Great video but the music is a bit too distracting with lyrics - hard to follow along.
Thanks for the feedback! Will take this into consideration in the future.
why 2 monorails. Have 1 continuous loop and run like 5-6 trains on it
Sure! Only issue is that there would need to be space by the park entrance for the monorail to loop around. Maybe around the outside of the parking garage?
awesome content. keep it up
Appreciate it!
They're not going to remove a key element of a badass ride.

Seriously.
shut up
Everything you mentioned is spending great sums of money - just to get people in the park? Ridiculous. This isn’t Disney World
Pointless clickbait.

Your bringing way to much common sense to the park.
If you call spending millions to fix a problem that doesn’t exist then yes
