Discovery Channel Goes Behind-The-Scenes at Cedar Point
Sandusky, OH -- Have you ever wondered what it's like "on the inside" at the world?s largest amusement park? You know...what's happening after the park closes, who inspects the world's first "giga-coaster" at 310 feet high and how all the cars and buses are parked?
The award-winning Discovery Channel will answer these questions ? and many more ? when it takes viewers behind-the-scenes at the famed 131-year-old Cedar Point amusement park/resort during a rare one-hour documentary called "World?s Largest Amusement Park" on Monday, July 16 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Viewers of "World?s Largest Amusement Park" will learn how Cedar Point grew from an old-fashioned traditional amusement park in 1870 to become today?s world-record-breaking "America?s RollerCoast." With a total of 68 rides, including 14 amazing roller coasters, Cedar Point is home to more rides and roller coasters than any place on the planet. Located on a scenic and historic 364-acre Lake Erie peninsula, Cedar Point has evolved into a resort destination for nearly 3.5 million guests from around the world during its intense 150-day operating season.
"We chose Cedar Point as the subject for this documentary for four reasons," says Kiku Lani Iwata of Termite Art Productions, Studio City, Calif., producer of Discovery Channel's "World's Largest Amusement Park." "First, Cedar Point has more rides and more roller coasters than any other park in the world; second, it covers an enormous amount of acreage on an unusual peninsula; third, the park has a rich history; and finally, it has earned an international reputation as the world's favorite park in many amusement park surveys and polls."
Discovery Channel cameras ventured where no cameras have ever gone before at Cedar Point to document exclusive "day in the life" profiles of various park employees - from a ride operator and hotel bellhop to a performer in live entertainment and the CEO ? to capture the mega-park through their eyes and discover what it takes to operate the world?s largest amusement park.
While Cedar Point has an international reputation for its outstanding collection of roller coasters and rides, as the world's largest amusement park Cedar Point is also one of only a few "destination" parks in the world and operates four hotels with a total of 1,424 rooms and suites, a marina, RV campground and cottages and cabins for overnighters. Plus, a beach and boardwalk, water park, restaurants, beautiful landscaping, award-winning live entertainment, museum, miniature golf, go-kart raceway, children's areas, Camp Snoopy family playland with the popular PEANUTS characters, merchandise shops and games are just a sampling of what guests discover at Cedar Point.
"All of us at Cedar Point are thrilled and honored to be the sole subject of Discovery Channel's 'World's Largest Amusement Park,'" says Richard L. Kinzel, president and CEO of Cedar Fair, L.P., which owns and operates Cedar Point. "We take great pride in our park and our employees, and we couldn't be more excited for the world to see Cedar Point from behind-the-scenes on the Discovery Channel."
With a full-time team of 350 employees and a seasonal staff of nearly 5,000, Cedar Point is a hub of activity 24 hours a day, as Discovery Channel found out while spending almost a month at the massive park shooting for "World's Largest Amusement Park" during the park's 2000 season. Discovery Channel crews shot more than 46 hours of tape and spent eight months editing the program to fit the one-hour timeslot.
Documenting the 24-hour cycle of what happens at Cedar Point around the clock revealed such things as the monitoring of weather conditions and the CEO picking up trash! Viewers will be surprised to learn the endless efforts that go into making Cedar Point, the world's largest amusement park, an ongoing success.

Anyone knows any WILD camping site near london?
Maribel
Me and my mates are eager to camp but we dont want go too far in london for safety reasons, any nearby wild camping site will do aslong as we are allowed to drink alcohol and be loud at night. please provide a link if possible =]
THANKS in advance
Answer
Hi, it's me again...
That's how I do it. Camp wild nearly every time. Very rare I stay on a site. Done it on five continents.
Trouble round London is finding somewhere far enough away from civilisation so you can camp out and be noisy without any noise going where you don't want it to go.
There's also light...it goes a long way at night......even a tiny torch will show up two miles away on a dark night.
You won't find links to wild camping sites because there aren't any wild camping sites that are run as such. Wild camping is camping out in the wilds so it isn't on a site. Organised sites mostly don't allow alcohol in tents, only in the campsite bar, and they won't put up with noise at night so that's no good.
In the wilds, you find somewhere, sneak in, set up the tent, cook, drink, have fun, sleep (sometimes), take the tent down and go home or off to another handy bit of woodland or a lonely field with a high hedge.
No site fees, no bookings, and if you're careful, no worries.
There are loads of places in the Chiltern Hills you can hide well enough, or on the North Downs, or out in Essex, thousands of possible places.
It means being OK with map reading...reading the land from a map to look for a place.
Google Earth is useful. Zoom around the countryside looking for likely locations.
On almost every bit of beach and in woodland in UK fires are illegal.
Far out places and proper smoke control maybe you'll get away with it but the fines can be very heavy. A couple of big portables stoves or disposable BBQs would be a better idea but the atmosphere isn't the same sat around a stove with a couple of guitars.
I've camped in nearly every county in UK on beaches, the Purbeck Hills, South Downs, Dartmoor, Exmoor, all sorts, scrimmed up in a small green tent and with fires that are very well controlled.
I was an outdoor instructor in the Army so I can do 'stealth' fires and stay hidden reasonably OK, but every fire sends a signal of sorts either on the wind or by eye. Keeping the signal low is the idea.
That's not the idea with a big fire to sit around with guitars and singing songs.
The woodlands give you loads of firemaking materials but care is needed anywhere you go in UK if you want a fire so my normal advice is...don't bother.
Here's the gaff about fires...for the Peak District but applies all over UK....woodland and moorland anywhere.
The guy on top carries a washing machine tub eh? Hell of a backpack he's got.

There are hundreds of places reachable by public transport.
Have fun, take care, and be brave.
Fortune favours the brave, but not the just plain daft,haha.
Have a think about any place you get to, how to look 'non-camping' if necessary, and how to get out again.
Here are some answers about it for other people....local woods, guy in a car looking for a stopping place overnight, north country one but the tips are the same for everywhere, even in Germany or China.
Intro...applies round London too
