SANDUSKY
Construction and deconstruction was happening at the same time at Cedar Point in Sandusky on Tuesday afternoon.
The 131 ft. tall Demon Drop was dismantled in preparation for a move to Cedar Fair’s park in Pennsylvania, Dorney Park. It will take 18 semi truckloads to transport the steel structure to Pennsylvania, according to Cedar Fair spokesman Robin Innes.
Across the peninsula in Frontiertown, Cedar Point’s new attraction for 2010, Shoot the Rapids, is in the early stages of construction with footers being poured and water and electric lines being run.
