Help CBS News pick Cedar Point

Walt's avatar

The CBS Evening News is asking viewers to choose a story assignment for Assignment America reporter Steve Hartman. This week, the choices are a baseball game, a theme park, or a shuffleboard tournament.

If the theme park story is the top vote-getter, Hartman, his father and a crew will tape at Cedar Point during the week of July 24. The story should be broadcast on Friday, July 28.

To vote, CLICK HERE, select Theme Park, and click submit. Only one vote per person, so make sure to tell your friends.

The winning story will be revealed Monday, July 17 at 6:30pm EST on the CBS Evening News. Please be sure to vote before then.

Let's help send Steve and his dad to the world's best amusement park!

Steve could take his dad to a professional baseball game. The last time they went, Steve was 6.

I have a feeling this is going to win, it's sort of yanks at the heart of old people and we all know only old people watch CBS.

Who cares PICK THE AMUSEMENT PARK!! sorry for yelling...i just had too. Is it possible to vote more than once though?


Favorite Coasters 1.MF 2. TTD 3. Raptor 4. Gemini 5. Magnum
Maverick perhaps? I wanna RIDE ON.

But how many of those old people even know what the internet is? As long as we all call our entire phone books and tell them to vote for the amusement park, CP will win. :)

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

You must have seen the commercial at the same time as me. I was just coming here to post it.

It will be interesting to see this little special.

Hmm... I wonder what day(s) they'll be there taping the special.
