Cedar Point closed Monday after severe storms

After a strong line of storms knocked out power lines in Sandusky, Cedar Point officials say they will be closed Monday as a result.

"As a result of the severe wind damage to power lines and poles on the Cedar Point Causeway, and the lack of adequate power to operate rides at full capacity, Cedar Point and Soak City will not open on Monday, June 6," said Tony Clark, Director of Communications for Cedar Point. "Crews from Ohio Edison are working diligently to repair Causeway power lines as quickly as possible. We anticipate we will reopen on Tuesday, June 7."

The park was forced to close early Sunday at 7pm because of the toppled power lines.
