This Rare Footage Of A Cleveland Amusement Park Will Have You Longing For The Good Old Days

Cedar Point is a legendary park that has had a special place in the hearts of Clevelanders for generations. The hourlong drive from the Forest City to the Roller Coaster Capitol of the World in nearby Sandusky is a journey that has long defined the perfect way to spend a hot summer day in Cleveland.

While the park continues to be a northeast Ohio fixture, there is a certain undeniable charm to the Cedar Point of yesteryear. The rides might not be as cutting-edge or intense, but the joyful simplicity of Cedar Point in the 1970s and 80s is a cherished memory to revisit.
