Other improvements included a 230-room addition to The Breakers Hotel; capital improvements to the docks at the Cedar Point marina; and a new 50's style diner appropriately named Coasters.

On Sunday, Mother's Day, Cedar Point fans lined up to take their first rides of the season on the park's incredible collection of rides and roller coasters.
