It is from a trip to Cedar Point back in 1989.
I have some pics from that day, but don't ever recall seeing this one.
Fuck. We were SO young.
For all you wondering, 710 is on the far right. My friend Jon is next to me (and who might be seeing this also for the first time). The three women were nurses with whom we worked on a cancer floor.
Also for those who might not remember my videos of Cedar Point (2012, 2015, 2017), it is a premier amusement park when it comes to rollercoasters. It continually ranks up there in terms of best coasters - longest, fastest, steepest, etc. depending on the coaster itself.
I believe I'm officially too old for a return trip to the park.
....and I might officially be too poor.
This doesn't include parking, food or drink.
I got that notice the same day Terri forwarded the title image.
710 did a little digging and found out that in 1989 ticket prices at the park were $18.50 !!!! And I'm guessing we got some OSU discount too on top of that.
The crazy thing was, back in 1989, $18.50 probably would have been a stretch for us financially. What money I had went to booze, drugs, food and rent - in that order. Oh - and that we didn't make a lot of dough in the first place.
Yes, now $100 wouldn't really set me back, but I also can't see paying that. I get it: I'm cheap.
We paid more than this for Disney World back in 2017 (?) and it was so not worth it. But a soon-enough-to-be 63 year old has aged out of amusement parks.
The price is just the nail in the coffin.
