Miley Cyrus, LeBron James take in Cedar Point

From wkyc.com

SANDUSKY — No, LeBron James and Miley Cyrus weren’t at Cedar Point together but both paid a visit to the amusement park in the last three days and we have the photos to show you.

Cyrus took a break from work and enjoyed some fun with friends on the Millennium Force roller coaster on Saturday afternoon.

Cyrus is currently filming her latest movie, “LOL: Laughing Out Loud.”

On Monday, LeBron James seemed content at first to keep his feet on the ground as he strolled through the park, eating a frozen lemonade cup and sharing it with one of his sons.

Then he took to the air later in the day, riding the Raptor with pals from Akron, including Dru Joyce.

PEANUTS 60th Anniversary

PEANUTS™ 60th Anniversary – Join Cedar Point as they celebrate 60 years of the fun and antics of Snoopy and the PEANUTS™ pals! Cedar Point is partnering with the Humane Society of Erie County for “Helping Snoopy’s Friends,” a donation drive hosted at the park.

Simply donate one of the items below (must be prepackaged and unopened) and receive a $10 discount on your admission ticket to the park on the day you donate*.

Plus, see a giant present near Planet Snoopy (it’s going to be opened on August 8 at 2 p.m.)**, play a special scavenger hunt (August 1-8) to win great prizes (download the form here [7 mb], or pick up your form in Guest Services or at Town Hall), and see a giant anniversary card on display at Planet Snoopy on August 8.

WN020*Donations are accepted at the park and discounts are only valid on the day you donate from August 1-8, 2010. Discount is only applied to the Regular admission price of $45.99.

**Cedar Point Fans are guessing that whatever is inside this present is a new ride/attraction for the Wicked Twister midway area.  The reasoning behind this because ValleyFair “gave” Snoopy a Planet Snoopy and Dorney Park’s 8 million dollar present is also rumored to be a Planet Snoopy.

CP Guide will be tweeting LIVE from the present opening tomorrow, be sure to follow us on twitter, @mycpguide!

New for 2011: Stratosoar!?!? (Speculation)

Cedar Fair has trademarked the name Stratosoar for use on an amusement park ride, as well as merchandise and ride photo frames. (Dowload the PDF version here.)

ALSO, the domain stratosoar.com has been claimed by Cedar Fair, but they have it privately listed and a default template is currently in place on the site. (Many thanks to @FerasH for finding this out!)

Hopefully Cedar Point announces the new ride soon to see if this is for Cedar Point or another Cedar Fair park, only time will tell.

In the mean time, use the tag cp2011 on CP Guide to find more speculation and visit our 2011 Watch page.

Wild Ride!: Thrill Seekers Stuck on Cedar Point Roller Coaster during Power Outage

From the 19ActionNews.com

SANDUSKY, OH (WOIO) – People on the Cedar Point roller coaster Millennium Force were stuck on the ride for about 40 minutes on Tuesday.

This, after power went out to a small portion of the park around 11:45AM.

The roller coaster car stopped on the hill. Around 12:25PM, the back-up diesel motor power kicked in and brought the riders back to the station.

As of 1:30PM, most of the power had been restored. Officials don’t know yet what caused the power outage.
