Cedar Creek Mine Ride
Cedar Point's Cedar
Creek Mine Ride was built to be the centerpiece of their new themed
area,Frontiertown, in 1969. Cedar Creek Mine Ride is low on scares
but high on fun. The coaster starts out by quickly traversing through
a mine building and starts up a 48 foot hill. Just when one thinks
that one is going to crest the top and spiral down towards the earth,
one realizes that it is not a hill at all. In fact, there is no large
hill on the Cedar Creek Mine Ride, just a series of small bumps
leading up to a helix ending. The ride, while having a wood structure,
actually has steel track, making for a very smooth ride. Cedar Creek
Mine Ride is an excellent coaster for new riders. The coaster achieves
harmony with fun, as it is big on thrills without being big on fear.
The big thrill riders won't flock to this one, but if that was how
coasters were judged, Cedar Point would only have a handful of active
coasters.
