Conclusion

There has been a steady development of Cedar Amusement Park from the time it was established as an amusement...

...

For its longer than 130-year history, the park has kept a tradition of continual advancement and development that has lured more guests year after year. There has been gradual improvement in the roller coasters from the time they were first opened to now. They are increasingly becoming more powerful and with much more speed. With all these changes over the years the cedar point that is there today wouldn't be recognized by a guest who visited it in 1870 just at its establishment. The only thing that has remained consistent over the years is the beautiful, sandy Lake Erie beach and probably the smiles that are echoed at cedar point in the future as the lake's summertime tradition continues with just the best family and fun excitement. There is therefore a lot to learn from the paper on the way the park has transitioned from the time it was set up to the present date. It is therefore worth to note that the parks location played a big role for its present day location. It is also worth noting that the local authorities at the time of its establishment played a major role since they encouraged the locals to develop the place. Credit has to be given to the first person who began work on the park to the current management since without each and every of their contribution the park would not have grown and become what it is today.
