This year Cedar Point once again hosted an offseason tour for some of its biggest fans. Employees of Cedar Fair and Cedar Point volunteer their time and guests can attend by making a donation. All proceeds from the event go to A Kid Again and this year over $150,000 was raised. We were fortunate to attend our 10th Winter Chill Out event.
The format of the event changed this year and it was offered for two days where guests were able to pick which day they preferred to attend. The format of the experience was reverted back to a guided tour where attendees are led from stop to stop around the park.
There is lots of active construction going on in the park. Construction crews are working to finish the new Boardwalk area of the park ahead of Cedar Point's opening day. This area will contain a new Wild Mouse roller coaster, Grand Pavilion restaurant and the relocation of Scrambler and Matterhorn. The other major construction project at the park is the reimagining of Top Thrill Dragster for 2023.
Some of the highlights from this year include new information on these topics:
- Forbidden Frontier will not operate in 2023
- Mac Shack, Chick-Fil-A, The Roost and Wild Turnip will not return
- Señor Vargas Walking Tacos will permanently merge with Derby Dogs and its location will become a bar.
- Grand Pavilion will feature lakeside specialties including pork tenderloin, shrimp, sliced turkey, walleye, jumbo wings and signature salads.
- Celebration Station (Dive In) and CP Juice Company have been demolished.
Follow along to learn more about what's new at the park. Thanks to all the park staff involved in making this event wonderful.
