It wouldn't be too big, but they would most likely have some sort of transportation. But in order to take out parking lot, they would have to build more, cause on Saturdays I hear they are almost always filled to capacity. A parking garage would be great, but money...those things cost a fortune.
CP can get as big as it wants, you just need people with good imaginations making the decisions. :)
I remember when I worked there that some full capacity days I wasn't even allowed to park in the lot. We had to park a few miles away and be bussed into the park. The busses always ran late and rarely had enough room to take everyone waiting. Everyone would fight to get through the little door. It was such a hassel. I remember getting mad and screaming "Hello! Duu...Build a parking garage already."
It was once a popular rumor that by the year 2003 they were going to expand the park into the parking lot and build a new lot or parking garage somewhere across the lake. They where going to have a monorail and a ferry to take people from their cars to the park and vice versa. This would create a lot of expansion room. I am really starting to not believe the rumors though.
All of this sounds like a good idea, however it would make the park to big to fast. I really think that they can find more creative ways to expand the park then to move the parking lot. They are already doing this now. My opinion is it probably will never happen.
But just think how HUGE Cedar Point would be if it did.
I once heard that the parking lot was like 60 acres or something. If this is true, than even if they built just a two story parking garage, they could have 30 more acres to build with.
I have never been to CP, but from the looks of things, they still have room for more rides, I say fit what they can into what they got, than worry.

Wouldn't "across the lake" be Canada? ;)

Shoot me if I'm wrong, but I believe the park is 368 acres (of fun!)

When I said "across the lake", I ment that they could build a lot somewhere on the mainland of OHIO. The "lake" I was refering to is the one that you are looking over to see CP while driving on Causeway Drive. Sorry that I didn't make that clear to you, MiLLeNNiUMRiDeR;)

This was included in an e-mail from my brother who was at the point this weekend. Any truth to it? I don't have a clue.
There is track and support posts laying by the Mean Streak and also in the Soak City parking lot for the 2003 thrill ride. Some DJ broke the news on Saturday that it was an Intamin 410' thrill ride that would shoot out of the station, go straight up, then straight down and into a loop and then back to the station. My old boss was doing "damage control" witht he press all day Saturday as nothing has been officially announced. I bet it will be soon!
