John Hoinden supervises rides at Cedar Point
Sunday, 30 June 2013
Cedar Point hadn’t opened yet on a recent morning, but John Hoinden was already on high alert.
Each morning before the park opens, maintenance crews and engineers test the rides. Dummies filled with water are piled into the seats to test wind speeds. Wind gusts and cool breezes are present often at Gatekeeper, because of its location right next to Lake Erie.
