<p>SANDUSKY, Ohio, March 5, 2001 &#8212; A &#8220;soda jerk&#8221; at the world&#8217;s largest ride and roller coaster park? Cedar Point today announced plans to open a Johnny Rockets restaurant &#8212; a popular international franchise &#8212; at the 130-year-old amusement park/resort for the 2001 season. Cedar Point&#8217;s Johnny Rockets will be the first and only one of its kind at an amusement park.</p>
<p>With 141 restaurants around the world, including locations in 26 states and nine countries, Johnny Rockets is internationally known for its authentic re-creation of a 1940s hamburger malt shop and is based on the philosophy of providing quality food in a fun and friendly environment. A nostalgic and simple menu of fresh hamburgers; American fries; hand-dipped made-to-order shakes and malts; chili dogs made from an exclusive all-meat recipe; homemade apple pie; and flavored fountain sodas are just a sampling of items that will be served at Cedar Point&#8217;s Johnny Rockets.</p>
<p>Diners will be greeted with a blast from the past with plenty of chrome and black Formica; red vinyl bar stools; framed prints of 1940s Americana; tabletop jukeboxes; and servers who pour ketchup for you, twirl straws from an old-fashioned straw dispenser and break out in song and dance &#8212; all of which are staples of what makes Johnny Rockets not only a restaurant, but also an experience.</p>
<p>&#8220;Cedar Point is pleased and excited to offer our guests the incomparable Johnny Rockets experience beginning this season,&#8221; said Daniel Keller, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. &#8220;Johnny Rockets and Cedar Point are an ideal match &#8212; both define fun, quality and attention to detail in a family atmosphere. Johnny Rockets will be a wonderful addition to our vast lineup of food service at the park.&#8221;</p>
<p>Headquartered in Aliso Viejo, Calif., Johnny Rockets opened its first restaurant in 1986 on trendy Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. “We are excited to be a part of the magic of Cedar Point,” said Michael Shumsky, president and CEO of Johnny Rockets. “This is the first time a Johnny Rockets restaurant has opened inside an amusement park and we feel it is a perfect partnership.”</p>
<p>Cedar Point&#8217;s Johnny Rockets will be located near the park&#8217;s main entrance off the Main Midway. The Fascination game will be removed and the building will be renovated into the new Johnny Rockets restaurant.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fascination has been a popular fixture at Cedar Point for many years, but unfortunately, it has become very difficult to find replacement parts,&#8221; Keller said. &#8220;Because of its popularity, we explored several options to relocate the game, but cannot efficiently operate it without a source for materials.”</p>
<p>Guests who have enjoyed Fascination and saved their coupons over the years will be able to redeem them for prizes at Cedar Point&#8217;s arcade on the Main Midway. There will be no expiration date for redemption.</p>
<p>With 68 rides, including 14 roller coasters, Cedar Point is the largest ride and roller coaster park on Earth and has consistently been voted the &#8220;Best Amusement Park in the World.&#8221; Cedar Point opens for the summer on Sunday, May 6. </p>
