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*.
| raw hides | dog treats | cat treats | cat litter | canned cat food | kitten food | cat toys | dog toys |
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.
*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.

Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the lovable PEANUTS characters have brought smiles and laughter to people of all ages for decades.
