Today guests took part in Cedar Point’s annual #WinterChillOut special event, where a limited number of tickets were sold to benefit A Kid Again charity. While there was no blanket of snow covering the park, it was an excellent opportunity to see everything. Cedar Point helped raise over $40,000 for charity, guests got a behind-the-scenes tour around the park, a warm lunch, and insight into all of the unannounced improvements for 2018. Below is a breakdown of all the food related news, and it is quite extensive!

– Brew Kettle will introduce a new beer themed to Steel Vengeance.

– In 2016, Cedar Point discontinued their partnership with Chick-fil-A, replacing it with their own Frontier Inn Chicken restaurant. For 2018, guests will rejoice that Chick-fil-A is coming back!

– Boardwalk construction progress continues, connecting the front parking lot to Cedar Point beach and back to Cedar Point Shores. A new “Sand Bar” will now be on the Boardwalk featuring a full service bar and Beach Band stage.

– Sagebrush Sue’s, an eatery in Frontier Town, will be redone as Sidewinder Sue’s. New sandwiches to debut include the Smokehouse, Loaded Sidewinder and The Chuck Wagon. Also featuring new “twisty” fries with meat toppings of pulled pork, brisket or chili.

– Buckaroo’s Burritos will be Miss Keat’s Smokehouse featuring 1 and 2 meat platters with brisket, pork, wings, sausage along with various sides.

– The Trading Post/General Store will be a new candy and fudge store similar to Sweet Spot.

– Burger Patio will be the new Buckaroo’s Burritos.

– Famous Dave’s BBQ Shack will become Frontier Foldovers, featuring new quick-service food stop will offer folded brisket, chicken and Italian meat sandwiches along with fries, jumbo pickles and chips.

– The Roundup will feature new menu items like blackened smokehouse burger, Digger challenge, and chicken tenders.

– Coke Refresh across from Gemini to be new Coke Freestyle. This one is a bit baffling given that the Coca-Cola Freestyle Cafe location already on the Gemini midway is not always open, let alone the small Refresh stand. Possibly with more foot-traffic they will be better manned.

– Coke Refresh under SkyRide to be utilized. This stand already functioned and was branded as a Refresh station in 2017, but also was seldom even open.

– Coke Refresh by Scrambler to become Crazy Cotton Candy stand featuring 12 flavors. This is really exciting and was really needed, as there were no “fresh-spun” cotton candy locations around the park, as they pushed more for the pre-packaged containers.
