Good Time Theatre to be demolished for future park expansion

On Monday, November 24, 2014, Cedar Point announced in an online blog that this off-season they will be demolishing the Good Time Theatre, which opened in 1975, for future park expansion. To give you a little snippet of history about the Good Time Theatre for those of you who are not familiar with it, the Good Time Theatre debuted as “Cedar Point Cinema” in 1975 and featured IMAX movies. In 2002, it was converted and renamed as the “Good Time Theatre” and featured a variety of ice-skating shows, such as “Snoopy Rocks! One Ice.” This past 2014 HalloWeekends season, the Good Time Theatre was the location of a new popular show to Cedar Point, “Midnight Syndicate LIVE! A Legacy of Shadows.”

While the removal of the Good Time Theatre means that these ice-skating shows had their final curtain call this past 2014 season at Cedar Point, the park stated in their online blog that they will be offering more entertainment in the park and they will provide more details about those plans as things move along. The park did not give specifics at this time as to what will be taking the place of the Good Time Theatre, but of course, many fans have their own thoughts and opinions of what could be going there next. One of the most popular predictions at this time is a new dark ride in the near future, as a few other Cedar Fair parks have recently introduced or announced the addition of new dark attractions to their parks. In 2012, Cedar Point demolished their indoor dark roller coaster, Disaster Transport, to make way for the debut of GateKeeper, a wing coaster, in May 2013.

Stay tuned to CP Rundown as we will provide you with more details on all the latest happenings at Cedar Point as soon as the park releases more information.
