SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP): Cedar Point is closed Monday after strong storms knocked out power to the northwest Ohio amusement park.
Cedar Point posted on its social media accounts that the park would remain closed Monday and expects to reopen on Tuesday. That includes the Soak City water park.
The park closed Sunday following afternoon storms packing winds of up to 60 mph that tore down dozens of trees and power lines in Sandusky. The sheriff’s office says storm debris was completely blocking the Cedar Point Causeway, which is the main access road to the park.
(1) As a result of the severe wind damage to power lines and poles on the CP Causeway, Cedar Point and Soak City will not open on 6/6.
