Cedar Point lovers can get a sneak peek into the new waterpark.
SANDUSKY, OH (WTOL) - Cedar Point is opening its new waterpark this weekend, but not everything is new. It is a remake of the old Soak City, with 4 new rides.
The 18-acre park features water rides for all ages as well as restaurants, an ice cream shop and a swim-up bar.
"Soak City is no more, Cedar Point Shores is all new. We have 4 brand new attractions, any of the attractions that are here have been renamed, rebranded, a lot of them have been repainted," Kristy Bacni said.
One new slide, the Point Plummet, is a six-story d rop spent racing with three friends."
We count down, 3, 2, 1, and then the trap door falls out from under your feet. And you slide down the slide and you scream all the way down," Rob Decker said.
There are 17 attractions total.
"We also have Portside Plunge on the same structure as point plummet. This is a tube slide, where you can ride either by yourself or with a friend. You start out in this tunnel and shoot out in the sun and d rop down a pretty big hill before splashing in to the pool. And we also have the new kids areas Lemmy's Lagoon and Lakeslide Landing," Bacni said.
"There is something for everybody. The product lineup is from everyone who is just starting out on their first slide to people who want to be scared as much as they are on Millenium Force," Decker said.
Cedar Point Shores Waterpark is set to open May 27.
Below is a list of the new attractions:
Storm Surge - a large raft that tosses riders about as they begin their ride 76 feet above the ground and slide through a green and teal slide structure.
