    These years were the heart of my childhood and falling in love with the park. This is MY cedar point.

    Hey man! Love this stuff, just raw footage from my favorite park. Can't believe how much the park has changed since then. Hope you're doing well :)

    I miss Mantis. Also, really cool to see the original entryway to it! That’s pretty rare to see. Great video.

    Ah those were the days... I used to go every summer! I still have an old VHS promo for Cedar Point from the 90s

    It's so cool to see old footage of cedar point and some of its classic coasters. BTW I was 1 year old when this footage was taken.

      Thanks, Stephen. It honestly doesn't feel as long ago as it should.

    I never rode mantis because I wasn’t even born, but I absolutely love rougaru. A lot of people don’t like it and it’s not popular, so I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes for a ride. It’s so much fun though

    • @SeanFlaharty
      @SeanFlaharty  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I actually prefer Rougatou over Mantis. I really loved Mantis during its first couple of years but it soon became very rough. Rougarou is much easier to ride, yet it still retains the intense moments of the original.

      I was there when Mantis opened when I was 14. I thought it was rough and remember getting cramps in my calves for some reason. My next visit to Cedar Point was when I was 20 and for some reason, I somehow skipped it but one of my brothers got sick for a couple hours after riding it. My last visit to Cedar Point was when I was 32. I got to ride the Gate Keeper and Maverick. I plan to go again soon! I will catch the Rougarou then.

    At 8:27 there’s a glitch in the matrix and the same guy is riding in rows 2 through 6

      Ha ha. Out of all the years of having that footage, I never noticed that. They really do look similar.

      I recently looked back at some of my older photos, when I first started going to the park in the mid 70's. The tallest thing you could see was the Space Spiral. There wasn't any coaster sticking up in the sky. I am glad I am alive during this time as I got to see the park turn into what it is today. Having said that, I believe this is the first season, since the 80's, that I haven't visited the park. No visits this year but hopefully next year.

    I noticed you strangely didn’t get any footage of the Bernstein Bears treehouse slide, 😄 where I would’ve been spending my time in 1996…. Well more like 1994.

    • @SeanFlaharty
      @SeanFlaharty  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I remember those slides but I never went down them. I wasn't into that area as I think I was still bummed they took out the big slide, and a few other things, to put that area in. It was my second time experiencing a ride leaving and it bummed me out. My first was when the park removed the Fun House for a King Arthur's Court. I loved that Fun House. I loved the dark rides as well like Earthquake and Pirate Ride.

    Do we have permission to use some ride footage for a video we’re doing?

    • @SeanFlaharty
      @SeanFlaharty  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Hopefully you were able to use it. I took a break from YT for a few months and am just catching up on replies now. It's probably easiest to e-mail me directly if you need footage, just in case I take another longer break sometime.

    The coasters are getting less colorful. Probably to avoid the brightness fading quickly and needing repaint but boy did Mantis pop.

    I am so glad standups are becoming a thing again. Mantis was by far the best B&M at CP.

    • @SeanFlaharty
      @SeanFlaharty  ปีที่แล้ว

      While I can't agree, Mantis was definitely one of my favorite coasters at the park for the first couple of years after it opened. It then became too rough for me to enjoy it more than once or twice a year.

    Why does 1996 seem like a lifetime ago? 😒

    • @SeanFlaharty
      @SeanFlaharty  ปีที่แล้ว

      In a weird way, for me, it doesn't seem as long as it really is. That was half my life ago and it doesn't feel that way to me.

      It's still here today as Rougarou, but yes, this is when it premiered!
