- When I visited Cedar Point in February 2012 for a winter tour, I had no idea that by the end of that season, Wildcat, Space Spiral, and Disaster Transport would be removed, and that a brand new roller coaster would be flying guests over a new entrance gate. The giant screen at the main train station was removed and Luminosity debuted with a new stage and bleachers. 2012 was also the first year for Dinosaurs Alive! which not only gave us lots of cool dinos to interact with, but fantastic views of Millennium Force!
Roughly the first hour of this video contains the usual ride sequences and observations, then I explore the final days of Disaster Transport and Space Spiral. There is also a brief look at Halloweekends, but I felt the video was already lengthy without going into all of that footage, so I kept it relatively short. 2012 was also the first year I started recording in 1080 HD, but I didn't post in HD until now. Thanks for watching! :)
This is some excellent footage. It's insane that 2012 feels like retro footage now.
Yeah, I was surprised how much the park has changed in just 10 years.
what a difference a decade makes
I could tell you a memory I have of every single thing you filmed in this video. Everything. I was a season pass holder from about 1994 to 2012. Great video as always coaster bob.
Thanks, Kevin! Working on this video brought back a lot of memories for me too. So many rides I used to love to ride are gone.
WOW what a throw back this one is.
2012 was the very first year I went to cedar point. I miss this era but over the past decade this place has made immense changes that have created more enjoyable opportunities
This is cool for me. This is back when I was in high school when all my friends and I could talk about were what rides wanted to go on we got there.
Reminds me of the days I first starting watching you! I remember watching these and your KI 2013 videos looking for the Banshee teasers.
Yeah, I was really into the CZcams scene back then. It was cool to post opening day videos and stuff in the days before smartphones.
Thank You for sharing. The good old days before covid and the $99 passes.
Wow do I miss 2012 era Cedar Point. Seemed like operations were way better back then, employees weren't as rude. And I'd give anything to have Space Spiral and Wicked Twister back. Couldn't care less about Gatekeeper and Wild Mouse or the pavilion. Thanks for another great video!
Glad you liked it! I was very sad to see Spiral Spiral toppled.
@@CoasterBob62 oh man you have no idea how many days I got your videos going in the background while I'm doing work around the house. Love all the content.
That's great! :D It's fun to hear the different ways people consume my content.
It is so jarring to see the old front gate. The last time I went to Cedar Point while it was still there was 2008.
The old front gate looks like a shopping center
I miss both the Goodtime Theater and Space Spiral. I never got to ride Wildcat, unfortunately. I did try Dinosaurs Alive however, but I didn't like it, however. I also recall making a prophetic wish that very day about Dinosaurs Alive: "I hope they get rid of this attraction in the near future."
I miss that old tunnel at 30:50 as well, too. I loved that. Especially Shoot the Rapids, though it's understandable why they removed it.
Thank you for posting this.
Great video.
Especially the Disaster Transport part.
Such simpler beautiful times
The park was pretty great back then, but ever since Gatekeeper, it’s been so much better! It seems that Gatekeeper was the ride that started an era!
WOW! This video is 7 years before my first visit to Cedar Point in 2019.
The entrance though-
If this was filmed 1 year later the video would look way less old.
My first ever visit to Cedar Point just happened to be Disaster Transports final ever day of operation. Glad I went on it and the Space Spiral.
Absolutely stellar footage Bob. I especially liked the Millennium Force was that big. That looks like such a good ride. I cannot remember if I remember Wildcat. But I do remember how your editing skills help to make these videos extra special. Outstanding job Bob. Congratulations on your ten year anniversary to recording in 1080 HD~

Thanks, Rob! I was looking through my old footage from 2012 just to see what it was like 10 years ago, then I realized that was the year I started to shoot at 1080 -- I just had to make a video with it!
i hadnt been till 2020 but to think that Space Spiral and Disaster Transport would close at the end of the year to make way for GateKeeper in 2013. In 2016 Valravn opened they closed mean streak and turned it into Steel Vengance which opened in 2018 and now Wicked Twister is gone.
Forgot about witches wheel being removed as well. Mantis is Rougarou now.
Man I miss Space Spiral
Wow I was there in June 2012 and I wished that I rode Space Spiral and Disaster Transport .
Wow I was 10 when I started watching your videos now I’m about to be 21! Love your videos bob!
Awesome footage!
Idk why but looking back the old CP entrance kinda looked like the entrance to a Mall lol, but man it’s amazing how much the park has changed.
I like the teaser for disaster transport
30:50 Wow that guy is lucky
I've known him for years, and that was the day I first met him.
@@CoasterBob62 wow that’s even cooler
What a great place to be.
Awesome Park
18:19 "There's where Wildcat used to be"
*10 years later*
*still nothing there*
I'm the first person you see in this video! :D
At 28:17 all you can before it launched was " keep"
i'm going with a couple of friends June 22, can u tell me what changes there is?
I think they really made a mistake getting rid of Space Spiral and adding Windseeker. Windseeker just doesn't work in that location. They should have had someone design a more modern version of Space Spiral that can operate with the weather there instead. Yes, I know Windseeker isn't in the same exact location that Space Spiral was, but they basically serve the same purpose.
Windseeker doesn’t serve the exact same purpose as Space Spiral. Windseeker is more of a thrill ride. However, I do agree that the location sucks. I visit Cedar Point at least 4 times a year and it’s hardly ever open because of the wind (which is ironic given the name “Windseeker”), making it one of the least popular rides at the park.
Are you going on opening day to film?
Nope, but I'll be there soon!
At 1:01:30 it said 9/16/2021. I think you switched your 1 and 2 lol
UGH!!!!! I reviewed that stuff over and over before I posted this and still missed that error. Thanks for letting me know!
In 2022 looking back….they have destroyed this park with corporate greed. They should be ashamed of themselves
Same with EPCOT & Hollywood studios in WDW
@CoasterBob62 I Had Some Great News The Ohio State Fair Is Coming Back This Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
