Cedar Point riverboat makes final voyage

[GavG]

The northern Ohio amusement park's Paddlewheel Excursion boat made one last trip Monday night after nearly 50 years and more than 47 million rides.

The last trip was piloted by Dick Kinzel, CEO of Cedar Point's parent company, Cedar Fair Entertainment Co.

About 20 people won spots on the final ride by bidding in a charity auction that benefits the local chapter of the American Red Cross.

The Sandusky Register (http://bit.ly/nKF1Zr ) reports the auction raised about $3,400.

The riverboat ride is closing to make way for a $1 million animatronic dinosaur attraction to open next year.

the rummer is that they will be building a separate island next door and having 10 new coasters added over 10 years
man made islands.. you gotta love them
so sfmm will never actaully keep it for more then a year after 2013

Really? That's the rummer?
