Tickets are limited for this event at Cedar Point, which will feature eclipse-viewing opportunities from the beach and elevated decks at the amusement park.
The park also plans to have a limited number of rides on The Boardwalk and in Kiddy Kingdom available, as well as food and drinks at the Grand Pavilion Restaurant and Bar.
