Cedar Point riverboat makes final voyage at park

By AP  | September 06, 2011

SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — Cedar Point's riverboat ride has completed its final voyage.

The northern Ohio amusement park's Paddlewheel Excursion boat made one last trip Monday night after nearly 50 years and more than 47 million rides.

The last trip was piloted by Dick Kinzel, CEO of Cedar Point's parent company, Cedar Fair Entertainment Co.

About 20 people won spots on the final ride by bidding in a charity auction that benefits the local chapter of the American Red Cross.

The Sandusky Register (http://bit.ly/nKF1Zr ) reports the auction raised about $3,400.

The riverboat ride is closing to make way for a $1 million animatronic dinosaur attraction to open next year.
