Cedar Point announces new rides, Boardwalk and experiences for 2023. So lets dive right in.
Following the removal of Wicked Twister, guests had high expectations for the midway situated along the beach at Cedar Point. The park promised the improvements would be fitting for a large audience.
Wild Mouse
The highlight for the Boardwalk midway is a new roller coaster, the Wild Mouse. 52 feet tall, 35 MPH, the attraction nods back to the early years of Wild Cat, this time going after the cheese.
Cedar Point’s legacy of roller coaster thrills continues with the addition of the Wild Mouse roller coaster. A nod to the park’s original Wild Mouse coaster, the modern version will provide a ride experience the original couldn’t – its cars will spin 360 degrees as they navigate the ride’s 1,312 feet of bright orange track.
The spins, dips, drops and hairpin turns of Wild Mouse will thrill coaster lovers young and young-at-heart. Standing 52 feet tall, the Wild Mouse ride experience is an unpredictable game of “cat and mouse,” complete with six mouse-themed cars and one cheese-themed car. The coaster’s free-form spinning action changes with the number of riders aboard each car, providing one-of-a-kind experiences with no two rides being exactly the same.
Riders must be at least 42” tall to ride with a supervising companion, or 48” tall to ride alone. Wild Mouse is manufactured by Zamperla® and joins Cedar Point’s unmatched ride collection as the 18th roller coaster at America’s Roller Coast®.
Cedar Point’s Grand Pavilion
It comes as no surprise that Cedar Point is constructing a giant, two-story building on the site of the former Wicked Twister. The park will reprise the role of the Boardwalk with a classic throwback building along the beach.
Cedar Point is building the Grand Pavilion, a water front bi-level facility with views of both the park and Lake Erie shoreline. The facility will feature a lakeview bar and outdoor patios.
Serving as the anchor to The Boardwalk, Cedar Point’s Grand Pavilion commemorates the park’s original Grand Pavilion entertainment space, which made its debut back in 1888.
In 2023, Cedar Point’s Grand Pavilion will take many cues from the original. The bi-level complex will be home to a new restaurant featuring culinary items not found anywhere else in the park (plus many traditional favorites), a lake view bar for relaxation and conversation, indoor and outdoor seating plus viewing decks with unparalleled panoramas of Cedar Point, the Cedar Point Beach and the Lake Erie shoreline.
In addition to the new Wild Mouse, Scrambler and Matterhorn will be moved over to the midway. Scrambler will be renamed to Atomic Scrambler. Tiki Twirl will rebranded as the original Calypso.
