- Cedar Point is one of the best amusement parks in the world. It’s often referred to as America’s Roller Coast and also The Roller Coaster Capital of the World. It’s no wonder with rides like Magnum XL-200, Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster and Steel Vengeance that Cedar Point would be near the top of everyone’s list of theme parks to get to. But have you ever wondered how this great collection came to be? I’ve always wanted to put a documentary together on the order of the current lineup including many of the World Records that were broken when completed. It’s a top destination for coaster enthusiast and I’m so excited to share it with you. The Cedar Point Documentary - Building America’s Roller Coast

Cedar Point as been one of my home parks for decades. I have been going to that park since the early 70's. I have watched, owned and seen just about every Cedar Point video there is, to an extent. There are thousands of Cedar Point related videos online and I know I will never watch them al. However, I am glad when someone takes the time to put together such a fun and chill video that can appeal to everyone. Seriously, this is one of the best Cedar Point videos I have seen since I have been going to the park. You are such a great storyteller not only with your commentary, but but the shots you choose. Pure gold! Great job!
Oh Wow Thank you so much Sean!!!! Means so much!!! Your incredible collection of footage deserves to be in a museum!!! Cedar Point is such a special park!!!
Mine too
Same cedar Point is my home park
Same here
Before starting this, I already know this is gonna be great because you can't go wrong with an okaycoasters video :)
Badger State Coasters Exactly, couldn’t have said it better myself
Thank You !!!!!
@@Okaycoasters I watched the whole thing thru now, and I think it's ur best video yet imo
Got that right!!!
I really appreciate that so much !!!
Wow, that ending had me in tears. There is nothing more pure than the love a parent has for their child.
Or maybe it made me cry because i was cutting onions (for real xD).
This is by far your best video yet! I love your content so much!!!
Thank you so much!!!
That ending made my heart melt, so I don't think it was just the onions. Really painted the picture of sitting in that seat, but paying more attention to your own kid (from a guy that doesn't have any yet) than to the coaster itself.
Well said Basti. I also teared up at the end.
I re watch this video every couple months or so........ while I don't have steel vengeance to ride with my kids, I got to experience my first RMC At the same time my 10 year old daughter....... twisted cyclone, and we get to do iron gwazi together in about 2 months. Someone must be cutting onions in here, my eyes are watering
0:
Please please PLEASE do this with more parks! This was so well made.
Thank you so much!!!! I plan to continue making videos for many more years.
@@Okaycoasters I know I’m way late to this video, but this comment just made my night 🤩🤩 Every video of yours is NEXT LEVEL!
2:43 I think you meant hybrid, cuz it sure ain't a hyper.
Yup I sure did! Good catch
@K Fox haha
Thank you for this comment. I was scratching my head.
No words
Except this one: AMAZING!!!
Thank you so much for all the support !!!!
I've never seen a a roller coaster documentary that has been this well made. From the music to the clips to the narration, all perfect. And that ending of course left an emotional punch. Keep up the great work! :)
That ending. WOW! Ninja's were slicing onions again...
Welcome Back okay coasters!!! We missed your incredible content!!!
Thank You !!!
when you have kids , that ending hits hard
Thank You!!!!
I’m not a kid kid I’m old kid but I love coasters
Phenomenal as always! 👏🏿👏🏿 Absolutely love the family inclusion with the kids. Grooming young enthusiasts. I don't know if I've been more motivated to go to cedar point now.
Thank you so much AirTime Myke!!!
Makes the heart melt when you get to the end and get surprised by a very pleasant turn to include the family!
Go to the Point, best times of my life. Be sure to get the fast lane so you can ride Maverick 6 times while your there ;)
He doesn’t have to go this hard with his videos, but he does, he does that for us 😭
Thank you so much for the kind works!!!
This isn't a documentary, this is a work of art!
Ive been waiting almost a week to find 19 minutes to watch this, and it was worth it. Especially the parts where you got into TTD and SV. Just awesome
Thank you so much Airtime Thrills !!!
Just leaving this amazing timestamp for myself 0:57
I can think of only one thing that could make your footage better...
Full coaster trains! (Thanks, COVID!)
Maybe next year.
Seriously, I am completely impressed by your footage. The way you use angles and lighting within your shot to capture the depth of field makes everything look great. Even the zoomed shots of Steel Vengeance were excellent. Maybe some day you'll be able to bring your equipment into the que. Or maybe just a cell phone.
It is obvious that you put tons of work into storyboarding your videos and writing meaningful commentary. Your music choices are very good, and your narration always sounds like we're sipping iced tea on your front porch. So personal and so professional at the same time. For me, all these things make your videos memorable and make me want to share them with others.
Your tribute to your son brought tears to my eyes as well. I have such fond memories of riding all the coasters at Cedar Point with my son (now 21) and my daughter (17). They grow up fast so don't miss out on even the most seemingly insignificant moments.
Thanks for adding that personal touch to your videos.
Keep up the great work!
OH HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!
Seriously, I was starting to get worried. And then while I was out working I got the notification that not only was there a new video from Okaycoasters, but it was a nearly 20 minute docu on the history of CP coasters. After what has been a brutal and at times depressing summer, you definitely made my day. This is by in far the best roller coaster video of the year. Job well done sir.
Wow......Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that. It really makes my day
@@Okaycoasters Well your videos make my day. I've been inspired by your work to start up my own coaster channel but thanks to the beer flu I had to cancel my road trip to CP till next year. Then again I might start up a board game channel (Since there are so few, lol).
Keep up the great work.
@@beau_thielen The Sun and Cloud agreeing? It's like cats and dogs living together. 🤣
“i hope you will consider subscribing”
... um YES. THIS IS TOP QUALITY! * subscribed *
Thank you so much for the support !!!
I just wanted to pop down here into the comments to say that the quality of this video is exceptional... really well done! Such amazing shots... 🎟🤘🎟
i’ve watched this video 42 times and the way it’s put together shocks me every time. Absolutely incredible job!
Excellent video on my home park....America's Rocking Roller Coast.
All I can say about ur videos is
WOW. I never get goosebumps from any videos apart from urs.
Thank You so much......I appreciate that
INSANE!!! I’ve only watched this video once but I know I’m gonnna come back at least 100 more times
I have so many memories of this park. While I went in previous years, 1996 is the first visit I really remember. I was with family and friends, and I was a scaredy cat, lol. I hated heights, and I refused to go on anything that went upside down. That is until my friends peer pressured me into trying the Witches Wheel. Turns out, going upside down is really, really fun, and Raptor would be my first "big girl" coaster. A few years later I would again be peer pressured, but this time onto Magnum, and I loved it. Which of course meant that when Millennium Force was introduced, I had no excuse not to try it. But this time I nearly hyperventilated when I first saw it looming above the horizon, refused to speak to anyone in line, and, sadly, was too terrified to end up enjoying it. XD
Seeing these coasters introduced in chronological order brought me back to those days, and the bit at the end made me wistful that I wasn't able to take my nephews this year. Last year was their first trip, and like me, they were scaredy cats, lol. But the older said he'd gotten the courage to finally try some of the bigger rides, and was disappointed he wouldn't get to this year. Maybe by next year he'll be ready to make an even bigger leap (though sadly there's no longer a Witches Wheel to get him used to going upside down).
This is Incredible!! I could see this video winning in a film festival!! I love this documentary!! We need to create an Enthusiast film festival so this can win!
Thank You so much !!!!
You’re a great dad! I watched this with my 6 year old daughter (tomorrow’s her first trip to cedar point!) and the end made me tear up. I’m so excited for her to experience all of the coasters and get that same feeling I got on my first trip to cedar point.
Thank you so much! I Hope it was a great day
Just the thought of knowing I have been on all of these coasters gives me chills. Haven't been in years so Steel Vengeance is calling me.
Great video!
Awesome editing!
Keep up the great work and can’t wait till your next video! - Brandon - theme park predictions!
Thank you so much !!!!!
So professional!!! I can tell you put so much time and effort into this. The footage was flawless per usual, editing was fantastic and even the music selection and timing made this video so enjoyable to watch! Great job 👍
Thank You so much!!!! I really appreciate that!!! I see your channel really growing fast !!! Thats great
5:57 Magnum XL-200 still slaps. Some people say it's rough but that's only comparatively speaking. I ride it pretty much every time I go to the park!
I always have to brace myself for your videos, and when I saw this title, I knew I needed to set aside the time and prepare for this one. Whatever kind of style your videos would be called, you are by far the best! And when you started talking about riding Steel Vengeance with your kids, that really got me. Who started peeling the onions? You're the best youtuber, but an even better dad.
Wow!!!! Thank You so Much !!!!!!
please write a book
Haha Thanks!
Just visited there August 29th. Great time to visit. Very light crowds that time of year. Around 20 minutes for the Millennium Force. That was the longest all day
Bro I went to cedar point in September 2021 finally I got there and I did all 17 coasters in 1 Day I got the fast lane plus because I was coming from Baltimore Maryland which is a 8 hour drive 🚗 😆 then the next day went to kings island and yes I bought the fast lane plus for that park too overall 800.00 bucks but completely worth every penny love those 2 parks
This is by far your best video so far and one of my favorite Cedar Point videos. Michael Jackson had "Thriller" as his Masterpiece and you have "Cedar Point The Winning Formula".
Thank You!!!
Aw… like many Ohioans, I’m generally pretty insecure about my home state. Seeing this actually made me pretty proud to be from here.
This seriously have to be my favorite theme park, 1.1b/10⚡️⚡️⚡️
Awesome video. I think the only critique I could give is that you glossed over Mean Streak's release, and it being another record breaker, then being turned into Steel Vengeance.
It sucks that Top Thrill dragster close as soon as your kid was really wanting to ride it :( I am super bummed for myself, her, and everyone else!
Nice vid. Started going to CP in 1976 and haven't missed a year since.....until this one. Deciding not to go cuz of COVID and anticipation of a poor park experience. i've ridden every one of these though in each of their inaugural years. And now i'm passing this on to my kids, who have also been there every year of their lives. In my opinion, there's no better place on earth...
3:50:. In June 29th, 1978, Magic Mountain opened Colossus which was the tallest wooden Coaster of a height of 125'. It too was a racing coaster like Gemini.
This video gives me life absolutely love this video... I discovered CP in 2015 and I have been going once or twice a year since the. Sadly to say COVID has shown my progress down since 2019 haven’t been since but definitely plan to go back soon traveling all the way from Atlanta Ga... you just earned yourself an SUBSCRIBER
Thank You so much for the kind words and the support!
This has to be my favorite video on Cedar Point I've ever seen. The end got me a little teary-eyed. Great job man!
I was psyched to see a new okaycoasters video appear, and it didn't disappoint! You're footage and editing is always fantastic, but you're also a brilliant storyteller.
Thank you !!!!!!
I thought this was a channel about okay coasters, but those look pretty great to me.
Fantastic Documentary! I Definitely hope it takes off!
Thank You !!!!
Another great video, as I've come to expect from you! The cinematography was great throughout. That intro sequence (at 0:58) was particularly cool, with that jammin' music coupled with those great shots. And those final words, addressed to your kids, was heartfelt -- a very nice touch to conclude the video!
Fabulous... thanks airtime thrills for recommendation
Wow! Very well done. Thank you for a very lovely video of one of my favorite subjects: Coasters!
An epic video fitting of such an epic park, and perfect timing with the 150th anniversary buzz, outstanding job! Cedar Point is our home park and this will be our go to video for getting family hyped to come out and visit us for a trip to Cedar Point next year - it's A Video Like No Other! Also, love seeing the content from somebody traveling with kids, our oldest is 44 inches so we're closing fast on the next 4 inches that will open the door to a new level of thrills!
That is an awesome story! Go glad this video can be part of the excitement!!! Thanks so much !!!
Hands down by far the best coaster channel on TH-cam!! Another great video!! Glad you're back. I've been waiting for your latest video release and in my opinion you picked the perfect amusement park and topic for your latest video. Continue the awesome work!
Thank you so much for all your support !!!!!
it's been over a year when is part two coming?
This is probably my favorite Cedar Point video I’ve ever watched to date. The footage was incredible (I’d love to see a just video of your CP park footage btw) and the segment about Steel Vengeance made me feel like it was August 2019 and I was sitting in that train climbing the 205 foot tall lift hill about to start my favorite ride ever. Amazing job, and I’d love to see this style of video for other parks too cuz this was amazing
Thank You!!!
I love the quality of your videos! Well done!
I think its crazy that you make some of the best coaster content but only have 9k subs. And at the end it said please subscribe, man I did that on the first video of yours I had ever watched. Truly some incredible content and can't wait to so what's next from you. Keep of the great work.
Thank you for the support!!
Where did you get the music for this video?
I liked before I even hit the play button because I already know this is going to be amazing.
After watching your video, I have to say you have been able to bring out the same level of thrill, excitement, fun, and nostalgia that a visit to Cedar Point has. I worked at the park as a ride operator from 2000 - 2003. In that time, I was blessed to have worked on several coasters. Among those were Raptor, Millennium Force, Disaster Transport, Wicked Twister, and Mantis. I also was given the opportunity to experience some of the smaller rides. Space Spiral, Big Wheel, and Schwabinchen. ( Sadly, Schwabinchen, Space Spiral, and Disaster Transport are no longer there. ) Each one brought with it a unique experience. From the sights and the sounds of the coaster in operation to the amazing people and crews I got to interact with, each one holds a special place in my memory and heart. Your video brought me back to that special place and time. I found myself with a smile ear to ear and, at times, had to choke back a tear or two. Thank you for this wonderful tribute to Cedar Point.
Same here!! Ran the Rotor, Funhouse, Sky Ride, and Wildcat in 1980, Demon Drop and Kiddie Land in 1990, and the Hotel Breakers in 1991. Being an employee was the best job ever!! Now, I'm doing some part time work at Cedar Point this Coronavirus 19 season in Food Operations, and I still love it!! It really IS a place like no other!
Good documentary ! Just a few errors you didn’t call Raptor by it’s name and also people don’t know what hyper and giga means when I showed this video to non coaster enthusiasts they asked me and I had to explain it them.
I appreciate the feedback! Thank You
Can’t wait for more of that B-roll 😍
if you are watching this right now and you aren’t subbed and notifications on, you better do it now or you’re really missing out.
cedar creek aint no hyper
I am a fan!!!! This was a fantastic documentary. The production everything 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank You so much !!!!!!!!
This is easily one of my favorite parks in the world because of the setting on Lake Erie and rides such as Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster and Maverick. I do slightly prefer Six Flags Magic Mountain just a little bit more because I feel they have a more diverse roller coaster collection and I found a lot of them to be more smoother and enjoyable.
Really good video! Very informative and really makes you appreciate how much Cedar Point has evolved and grown over the years. Stunning shots of the coasters also!
Thanks so much!
Oh to the creator of this documentary, if Cedar Point doesn’t make you their official spokesperson, THEY SHOULD!! This is a masterpiece! VERY NICELY DONE!!!
You truly are gonna be the next…. And better airtime thrills
Thank You!
Your videos without fail always give me goosebumps. This time it was that valravn music and footage that did it
Thank You !!!!!
What’s the stop that song called, it has a SUPER nice beat
Agreed, it's great! I'd love to know as well.
Update- I had to download Shazam lmao to figure it out:

Skrxlla "Caution"
Madison Lytle thanks! 😊
Great video production, yet that opening music track is such a wrong fit for the rest of this entire video.
@Melissa Paley LOL. I get that year round. :)
Found this whilst browsing Cedar Point stuff...blown away! Stunning off ride shots complimented by excellent commentary. Great job (now I want to go on Magnum again even more than I already did!).
Thank You so much! I just watched some of your off ride footage and it’s incredible! Can’t wait to see more of your videos!
@@Okaycoasters Thank you! ☺️
Amazing, quality work as always! Such a phenomenal storyteller! 👌🏼
Amazing amazing, I worked at CP in 2018 and it was the best experiences in my life, i miss it soo much!!!
Awesome video as always!!!! Been quite a few years since we had been to CP and they have added alot. It was on the agenda this year on a road trip until that had the brakes slammed on it ..but .. we really hope to make it back up there in 2021!! We have some riding to do! ~Dawn
10:45 I should’ve known 😂
Haha!!! You know I have to add the flowers in
RIP wicked Twister
Cedar Point is without a doubt the BEST "Amusement" Park in the world... There are theme parks out there with great experiences to be had, etc. But when it comes to just a straight up, "Amusement" park... Cedar point is in a class all their own. That stunning setting surrounded by Lake Eerie, with the seagulls flying around. The sheer SIZE of the park. And then you add in ALL those record breaking coasters... Magnum, Millie, Dragster, and now Steele Vengeance... There's not another park anywhere with that amount of Sheer excitement. If I could afford it, I would absolutely move in to the Hotel Breakers... and Never leave lol... Straight up.

Why am I crying at the end of this. Truly incredible stuff. You deserve all the praise.
This honestly has to be one of the best videos of Cedar Point I’ve seen in a LONG time. The editing, music, and general feel to the whole thing was absolutely amazing and so well done! Keep up the good work!! Thank you for this awesome upload man!
Thank You !!!!
okaycoasters of course, man! Thank YOU for the amazing content!
Intro tuff ⚡️💪🏽
Best park In the world!!!!
I’m here before Top Thrill 2 debuts!!!!!!!! Dragster was my favorite coaster at Cedar Point, and I can’t wait for its new version to break out!!!!!!
Cedar Point. Gosh the memories. From the mid-80s to mid 90s I'd go multiple times a year. Sometimes with the family. Sometimes with friends. Blue Streak, Corkscrew, Gemini.....it was always exciting to see what would come out next. Then I moved to STL and realized how spoiled I had been all those years. Incredible location. Incredible rides. Incredible memories. LONG LIVE THE ROLLER COAST!!
Watching your segment on gatekeeper right now and I just had to pause to write this comment. Your off ride footage is so ridiculously bad-ass! By far the best I’ve ever seen. You’re killing it man!
GREAT DOCUMENTARY!! However, You did not mention that in 1991, MEAN STREAK opened as the Tallest and Fastest Wooden Coaster, before the conversion of STEEL VENGEANCE!! I visited in 2003 for 3 Days, and still remember every adrenaline rush!! :o
awhhh this video was so cuteee ! Especially the end talking about his son 🥺🥺💓
Wow this is amazing, I loved every second of it!! Great work and I cant wait for more content in the future!!
Wow what an amazing ducumentary!! The end really touched my heart.
2017 was your 1st time. Brother I've been going to cedar point since 1974. I've ridden every coaster they have. I'm 60 years old now and I love cedar point. I still hit those coasters and Raptor, Millennium, Top Thrill, Magnum XL, Maverick, Gemini, Steel Vengeance, The old Blue Streak, Gate Keeper, Demon Drop, Wicked Twister, Mantis now Rougarue, Sky Ride, Skyhawk, Disaster Transport, the old wild mouse, and many others keep me going back year after year. And i ride my motorcycle down from Ecorse Michigan to Sandusky Ohio 3 or 4 times a year. Its the Roller Coast baby.
This was an awesome and in depth video. And the part at the end with your kids, amazing touch! I'm 37 and just went for my very first time July of this year and am already planning to go back in September!
We lucked into doing what he said without knowing. We hit Millennium without a wait early on. Could have ridden it twice but it broke down and we had to wait 30 minutes being the first on after the fix. Then we hit Steel Vengeance with about a 20 minute wait. Then Rougarou with basically zero wait.
Staying at Breakers is relatively inexpensive and so nice to have a break when needed.
That was lovely. Only wish you would've went over Mean Streak before the conversion, but wow! Wonderful editing as always and I love that your kids are a big influence on what you do. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much......I really wanted to focus on the current lineup. I considered Mean streak alot when making this video......but since its an entire new ride now I just decided to stick to current coasters
When I first watched this, I thought at the end I was watching a full-on movie. The editing is actually insane.
I loved this video!
Great video as always! I think I need to take a boat ride around the peninsula next year
I really want to take one too!!! Hopefully 2021 and Thank You !!!
Any amusement park worth a crap should hire you for promotional videos.
If you have a quality product... People will spend their money there.... I'm talking to you six flags lol
2017 August 23 to 29th my first CP visit
My home park is Canada's Wonderland and I was so Hyped ...🤪Truly the best time of my life I was 37 years old....
Cant wait to go back a bring my 3 year old son now!!!!!
*Lumpfish parody*
Cedar Point is the Roller Coaster Capital of the World, with 18 roller coasters, particularly the Big 4. Millennium Force is the first giga roller coaster at 310 feet. Very beautiful, very powerful. Top Thrill Dragster was the first roller coaster to go over 400 feet tall and speed 120 mph. Very beautiful, very powerful. Maverick is the smallest of the Big Four. It is low to the ground and very intense. But it’s still very beautiful, and very powerful. Steel Vengeance is the first hyper hybrid roller coaster in history and has many airtime moments and inversions. Very beautiful, very powerful. Cedar Point’s coaster army is ever growing and will win the Coaster Wars. Very beautiful, very powerful.
