Those are disugsting in my opinion. Bad, expensive food, sticky, nasty rides and BORING. Those carnies creap me out too!! Why you would go there over CP is something so beyond me. And you wouldn't consider the food at CP to be expensive too?

I love seeing the exhibits of quilts, jellies, and 4-H stuff. And nothing can beat the demolition derby.   I have gone to this fair for years and never have had any "crappy carnie food" It tastes the same whether you get it at some outpriced amusement park or at a local fair. And the carnies I've met are some of the nicest people you'd ever meet. Parker have you ever been to the Portage County Fair? Probably not since you don't even live in Ohio. So don't be quick to make assumptions about somewhere you have never been. OH btw, I HAVE been to Cedar Point before.....I don't care to go back. It has nasty crappy carnie food and the ride operators really creep me out.

According to the TTD cam, CP is using the overflow lot AGAIN. Who says CP isn't doing well this month?? Oh and wait, isn't CP supposed to be dead on Wednesday's?? Not today!

It's not like they have an abundance of cars only carrying 1 or 2 people in them, plus, don't forget that there are other motels to stay at off the Peninsula where people are being shuttled back and forth from which allow them to save on parking and take advantage of the Motel's services. (The Motels get a kick-back as well) Also, from an in-park foot traffic pattern standpoint, the queue designs in the last 10 years have greatly improved to hold more people and keep them off the midways where they block the flow of patrons.
