Blog

It's no secret that this site has been a little neglected in recent months. However, the site will be receiving a complete overhaul before the end of the year. I already know that the site's blog will get about a million times better and the design will be completely new, but I'd love to hear what other features you'd like to stay or what new features you'd like to see added.

Let me know in either the comments or via email at info[AT]pointolia[DOT]com.

The team over at ParkEmployee is looking for people that like CedarPoint and have asked a very simple, but pretty fun question...

Judging by the webcams and various reports, it appears that Planet Snoopy and Cedar Point's 100's of other attractions and kiosks have brought in enormous crowds for the opening day of the 2008 season. Want to see for yourself? Take a look at how many cars are in the parking lot this afternoon.

Better yet, get out to the park for yourself

All around Cedar Point, it's beginning to look a lot like springtime. Millennium Force and numerous other roller-coasters have received their trains and Skyscraper is growing closer to the scraping the sky. In addition, I happened to catch another sign of spring at the peninsula today... creepy cloud formations.

Last Tuesday's April Fools post brought in quite a few new readers to the site... So welcome, new readers!

I've received a bit of feedback on the Phantom's Fury post and it seems as though it was well-received. Hopefully, this next item is too.

2008 Countdown
Click here to see our shiny new countdown timer to the 2008 season. It's pretty dang accurate (to the second) with one exception. If you leave the page open for a long time, the time gets a little skewed since the time is only precisely calculated when the page loads. I recommend bookmarking the page or making it your new homepage until the park opens.

Cedar Point Press Release

SANDUSKY, Ohio, 2008 – Cedar Point will take guests on an exciting new flight in 2008. The historic amusement park/resort has announced plans for a new roller coaster for this summer named Phantom's Fury.

It's no secret that there is already at least one very popular forum devoted to Cedar Point. Jeff and Walt of PointBuzz have made a great site over the years, but we at POINTOLIA can't help but wonder if there are more fish in the sea.

Is there room for another Cedar Point-based forum? Better yet, is there a good enough reason to start a new one? What features would you like to see added? Let us know in the comments or via email.
