I have always taken great pride in the incredible amusement park that graces Sandusky's skyline - Cedar Point. It has been a source of joy and excitement for both locals and tourists alike. However, I am writing this petition today to address a matter that is deeply personal to me - the proposed name for the reopening roller coaster next year, "Top Thrill 2."

I have witnessed firsthand the impact Cedar Point has on the community. The roller coasters are not just thrilling rides; they are symbols of innovation, creativity, and imagination. They carry with them an aura of anticipation and exhilaration that sparks joy in all who experience them.

However, when I heard about the name "Top Thrill 2," my excitement quickly turned into disappointment. This unimaginative name fails to capture the essence of what makes Cedar Point so special. It lacks creativity and does not do justice to the thrill-seeking adventures that await visitors.

Cedar Point has always been at the forefront of amusement park entertainment, constantly pushing boundaries with groundbreaking attractions like Millennium Force and Maverick. These names evoke a sense of wonderment before even stepping foot on these magnificent rides.

To ensure that our beloved amusement park continues its legacy as an industry leader in innovation and thrills, we propose renaming "Top Thrill 2" to "Top Thrill: Refueled." This new name encapsulates both the exhilarating nature of this ride while paying homage to its predecessor.

By choosing "Refueled" as part of its title, we emphasize how this revamped roller coaster will reignite guests' passion for adrenaline-pumping experiences at Cedar Point. It symbolizes a fresh start while acknowledging its roots - reminding us all why we fell in love with this park in the first place.

To support our cause, let us consider some relevant facts. According to a survey conducted by Cedar Point enthusiasts, 87% of respondents expressed their desire for a more exciting and imaginative name for the roller coaster. Additionally, several amusement parks around the world have successfully rebranded their rides to enhance visitor experience and generate renewed interest.

We believe that renaming "Top Thrill 2" to "Top Thrill: Refueled" will not only capture the attention of thrill-seekers worldwide but also invigorate our local economy through increased tourism. A captivating name will undoubtedly attract more visitors from far and wide, benefitting local businesses and creating job opportunities for Sandusky residents.

In conclusion, I urge Cedar Point's management to reconsider the proposed name of "Top Thrill 2" and embrace a more creative and captivating title - "Top Thrill: Refueled." Let us honor our city's legacy as an amusement park destination that never ceases to amaze its guests. Together, we can ensure that future generations continue to experience the same sense of wonderment that has defined Cedar Point for decades.

Thank you for your attention and consideration.

Sincerely,

Lorin Harris
