The Interpreter Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Cedar Point's Frontier Trail will be filled with light and music when the Sandusky, Ohio, amusement park/resort will introduce the Starlight Experience, a brand new themed lighted walkway, for this summer. Each night, the Frontier Trail will be transformed into a brilliant canopy of lights and colors that will be themed to the changing of the seasons. Similar to the climate in the Midwest, each display will gently segue into a different season. Accompanied with music, the Starlight Experience will use a diverse mixture of colored lights and displays to decorate and highlight the buildings, trees and structures along the wooded walkway. It will extend from the bridge across from the Snake River Falls water ride to the tunnel beneath Millennium Force.... http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Ce...int-971739.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catzdrummer09 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 This is really cool. That should have a really nice effect on an already awesome area of the park. I personally love how it feels like you're in a different world when you walk through there. It's all natural and wooded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Besides being visually stunning, the Starlight Experience will also be environmentally friendly. LED lights use a lot less energy and will last considerably longer than standard bulbs. Plus, LED lights reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and do not contain mercury. Kudos to Cedar Point. As if I wasn't already in love with the park enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Originally I liked the sound of this, I do wonder if it might take away from the charm of the Frontier trail though with floats and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 ^^OR if this is publicity to add awareness to the area for CP's 2010 attraction...hmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Sounds nice. Now if we could only get a certain covered walkway back at KI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Sounds like a great way to dress up an area that will be lined with construction walls and fences this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think it sounds awesome, another reason to love CP... and oh how I do love it there. Like Raptor said though, I wonder if it's the right place for it. Psychadelics don't really fit with the good old west. I'm sure I'll think it's great and can not wait to see it!!!!!!

crazypkikid2005 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Nice of Cedar Point to add some variety. This will hopefully be well done but I'm not getting my hopes as when it comes to these type of things as Cedar Fair has a tendency to not do to well with special effects things.

tigellinus Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Again, people, it's obvious what CF is doing...exactly as RR said. Just like KI does things for "nostalgic" reasons too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Sounds pretty neat, the Frontier Trail between MF and the water rides is quite a hike with not a lot to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I agree that they're doing it to bring attention to the area I was just wondering if it will feel out of place. Walking down Frontier Trail doesn't make me think of high tech lighting. I bet it will be a cool time out of time feeling though and I'm starting to get really excited about this thing!

Go Browns Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'll have to wait to see what it actually is until I pass judgment but my initial reaction is why mess with the last beautiful area of the park. I think I'd prefer to see this some where else but like I said I'll have to wait and see before deciding if I like it or not. Kind of weird how they will be closing that part of the midway for half an hour each night. Kind of ruins the plan to ride Maverick then run to Millie for one last ride or visa versa...

DropZone99 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Sounds pretty cool, I can't wait to check it out this Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Browns Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 There is a new blog entry today that talks about the Starlight Experience among other things. I have to say the more I learn about this the more I think it sounds a little corny and a detraction from my favorite area of the park. Who knows maybe it will be considered a huge hit by everyone... even me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
