Sailboats 'docking' offshore???

"Docked" needs to be replaced with "anchored". If you're at a dock, you're docked. If you're floating offshore, you're anchored. Master picker of nits here, and old time sailboat sailor. See: "In 1878 James West opened a group of bathhouses near the beach. Although there was no steamboat service, sailboats often docked just offshore." 2600:1700:BF10:69D0:C909:64AA:CAB5:62E (talk) 17:34, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

I changed it to docking and anchoring. It is likely the dock that was in use a few years prior was still there. However, it probably couldn't accommodate everyone visiting.—JlACEer (talk) 01:26, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

U said probably. but however since when exactly on wikipedia rules is probably a sufficient reason to state something probably? Dont you have a source which states there was still a dock here in 1878? And if u dont have a source then why did you keep the word docking at all? 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 19:51, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

small rowboats don't need docks and don't need to anchor offshore. They just pull up onto the beach. 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 19:59, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

So if there was no steamboat then how did people get there if not in small rowboats? In big pleasure yachts or something? I think your whole statement needs reevaluated. 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 20:03, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

And how do you know how big the 1870 dock was anyway? Was it only big enough for the one steamboat? Or also accommodated dozens of pleasure yachts in 1870? Aren't u just filling in blanks with your own imagination not source references? 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 20:23, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

and b t w, there is no mention of James West, at all, in the Francis book that is referenced in that statement. Doesn't anybody here bother to check these edits for accuracy? Or just too busy picking on inexperienced newbees? 2607:FB91:10AE:51F2:44A6:2253:48DC:38B6 (talk) 22:12, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

The Francis Images of America book has a photo that was taken in the 1880s; the caption states the photo was taken from the Bay Steamship Dock. According to that source, the dock was still there. All of this is pointless discussion since the text was removed several weeks ago.—JlACEer (talk) 04:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

The point is obvious. That questionable information should never have appeared in this article. But, unfortunately, the article has certain people controlling its content, who constantly violate Wikipedia standards. And until that control ends, this article will continue to contain false and misleading information. 2607:FB91:174F:9AEB:1544:BB1:BA38:FB0E (talk) 06:36, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

"questionable information should never have appeared in this article" – Anyone with an internet connection can edit Wikipedia. Junk, unsourced claims, vandalism, trolling on talk pages, etc., happen all the time unfortunately. Feel free to pitch in and help out when it happens. --GoneIn60 (talk) 07:53, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Many contributors have attempted to help improve and correct the edits of two specific controlling editors here. With the result being a lock-down of this article, and the rapid disappearance of suggestions on this talk page. So, @gonein60, get real. In fact, get real gone. And then afterwards this article might finally get repaired and be encyclopedic instead of a rambling non-encyclopedic mess that it is, currently. 2607:FB91:174F:9AEB:1544:BB1:BA38:FB0E (talk) 14:20, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

"the rapid disappearance of suggestions on this talk page" – This is called archiving, a standard process for busy talk pages on Wikipedia. The archives are accessible at the top and also in the talk page history. You can read more about that at WP:ARCHIVE. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:34, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Update: I've struck the uncivil comments above by the IP editor who has been warned and even blocked for incivility in the past. Focus on ways to improve the article, backed by reliable sources. Do not treat this page as a vessel for personal complaints that fail to offer up any real solutions. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:40, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Can someone please add that today in 2024, there is a Solar Eclipse ceremony at Cedar Point. Can someone add this to the timeline? Please. 2601:40A:8400:1820:427:7832:BEB5:8A5D (talk) 16:44, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

There are probably solar eclipse ceremonies/gatherings at various sites around the country along the path of the eclipse. These are not notable to the subject of these articles. Just because they occur does not mean they deserve coverage on Wikipedia. See WP:DUE for more info. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:03, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Top Thrill 2

Will someone please add Top Thrill 2 into the roller coasters section? It opened along with the park on opening day. I tried to start adding it, but I don't wanna mess anything up. Would help if someone with more experience added it. Thanks. SummeRStorM79 (talk) 04:17, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Looks like you already added it! I went ahead and restored the original description, but left in the part about the Zamperla renovation. Thanks. -- GoneIn60 (talk) 17:59, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Six Flags is not the owner of the company. Please change. 2603:8001:9F00:8A6A:214E:CBBF:C305:6A52 (talk) 13:41, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate.

The park's website says that it merged with Six Flags. What change are you asking for? RudolfRed (talk) 15:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Cedar Point and Cedar Fair as a whole were not acquired by Six Flags in 2014, instead 2024. (typo) 72.196.18.85 (talk) 00:50, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done – Fixed, thanks. By the way, neither Six Flags nor Cedar Fair were acquired. They merged in what was called a "merger of equals", forming a new company that kept the Six Flags name. This was previously discussed at Talk:Six Flags (1961–2024)#Survey #2. --GoneIn60 (talk) 01:23, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

The Top Thrill 2 coaster soft opened on May 4, and closed a few days later due to a mechanical modification. It will never fully reopen at all. Can you please add it to the timeline? Here is the source.[1] 2601:40A:8400:1820:D10:BB0E:6522:EB75 (talk) 23:32, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

 Partly done: I updated the information that was reported in the source, notably that it is expected to reopen in 2025 (not that it will never fully reopen at all) as you asserted. If you found that in another source feel free to re-request. Bestagon ⬡ 17:24, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

There is a few pieces of wrong information in this article, I want to fix that. Down below is a list of wrong information or information that should be edited.

1: Cedar Point has 18, not 17 roller coasters. On the Wikipedia page it says 17. This should be changed to 18 2: Cedar Point has 7 family rides, not 8. On the Wikipedia page it says 8 family rides. This should be changed to 7. 3: Cedar Point technically has two water rides while the Wikipedia page only says there is 1. Cedar Point has Thunder Canyon and Snake River Falls (which closed on September 2nd, 2024) but should be added to the Wikipedia page. 4: The Sirens Curse ride is new in 2025 and is included on the Wikipedia page for Cedar Point, A part that should be edited is the description of the ride. You can simply make the description say, "The first steel roller coaster featuring a tilt track in Cedar Point. This attraction opened in 2025 as the tallest, longest, fastest tilt coaster in North America. The attraction is 160ft, contains 2,966ft of track, has a top speed of 58MPH, has a 2 minute duration time, has 13 weightless airtime moments, two 360-degree, zero-gravity barrel rolls, and a high-speed “triple-down” element with twisted and overbanked track. The vehicles also feature two firsts for Cedar Point: on-board audio, allowing sound of the siren while riding the coaster; and high-tech LED lighting on the exterior of each car." 5: The Sirens Curse ride is new in 2025 and is included on the Wikipedia page for Cedar Point, another part that should be added is an image of the ride.

 Not done.LucasSP6, you need to provide reliable, published sources that verify the changes you want to make. Cullen328 (talk) 19:46, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

I believe that the 2017 Cedar Point logo image from Wikimedia Commons should be used as the preview picture when searching for the article. (It is the logo that is currently being used to this day) There does not appear to be a current preview picture so this could be a really good fit. Therguy10 (talk) 17:13, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
