CEDAR POINT: THE QUEEN OF AMERICAN WATERING PLACES, a completely revised & enlarged anniversary edition, tells the story of the birth, development & ascendancy of this significant resort - also known as the "Amazement Park". Now one of the nation's premier summer fun spots, Cedar Point on Lake Erie has become America's "roller coast". With eleven roller coasters, this flourishing facility takes the crown in the number of up & down thrill rides. Started as a lakeside bathing spot, Cedar Point, under the direction of George A. Boeckling, was established as one of Ohio's most visited places. It weathered the Depression, narrowly eluded demise in the 1950s & emerged triumphant in the 1960s. QUEEN OF AMERICAN WATERING PLACES presents that story in 222 pages with words & over 300 pictures.
