The Sandusky Fire Department responded to Cedar Point just before 3 p.m. Wednesday to a transformer fire.

Smoke could be seen from the park's webcam at Top Thrill Dragster. Firefighters had to evacuate 50 people from nearby buildings. No major fire damage occurred, but there was smoke damage.

This is the parks third fire of the year. In July, a maintenance building caught on fire, injuring two firefighters. Before the parks Halloween events, Mean streak had a small fire and remained closed for the rest of the season.

Estimated in 100,000 dollars, no damage to rides or injuries were reported.

I thought I had a witty remark for this but then I thought about it and it wasn't witty at all.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Wow, I feel oblivious. I work at Cedar Point and I never even found out about this until now. (Well, I guess Castaway Bay technically isn't inside the park, so it's not that bad, but still...)
