Cedar Point may have been target of attack

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

The FBI suggested that the Dearborn terror plot suspects might have been planning an attack at Cedar Point. In the criminal complaint released Wednesday - the one that includes all three of the accused - the FBI outlined information that suggests there might have been a plan to attack the popular amusement park. While the document never actually mentions Cedar Point by name, it mentions several details about the amusement park that clearly identify it.

Michigan's Adventure will get these alleged criminals in 15 years.

I hope people know and understand, there are security cameras EVERYWHERE in parks these days. From the toll booths to park entrances, from hotel public spaces to retail stores, from food stands to ride platforms, everyone is under constant surveillance. Many you don't see but they are there!

If Michigan's Adventure needed alleged criminals they would already have them... Or something.

We also would have accepted "Dorney Park will get..."

Cameras might help to determine who did it...but once it's done, it's done. There are a lot of cameras at the Capitol. Didn't stop the riot.

I considered Dorney but went for the Michigan angle.

I presume we will find out that the FBI agent who infiltrated their group was brainstorming about targets with them, and presumably sold them whatever disarmed weapon they showed up at the gates with.

No cameras in the restrooms. Someone clogged one of the TT2 urinals on closing weekend.
Saw a couple of employees working on it Saturday night, but it was still out of service all day Sunday.
Perhaps not a terrorist attack, but it did cause some disruption.

Dorney might have worked too as at least one had ties to New Jersey

Watch the tram car please....

Hope there's more to their case.

...the Michigan men purchased firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition in recent months and had been practicing shooting at gun ranges...

Someone used a computer apparently shared by Nasser and Ali to search "is it crowded on halloweekend" at the amusement park, according to the complaint.
