Named "Best Amusement Park in the World" for 13 years straight by Amusement Today - the world's authority on amusement parks - Cedar Point boasts a world-record 73 rides, including 16 rollercoasters! On peak days, 40,000 adrenalin-seeking junkies visit this iconic Ohio park, piling onto coasters, zipping down waterslides and enjoying the stunning waterfront setting. What fun-seekers don't get to see is the massive, coordinated, behind-the-scenes effort by 2000 employees to ensure the gut-wrenching drops and scream-inducing thrills are safe, secure and as exhilarating as ever. Head of Operations Bill Spehn acts as a roving nerve center - weighing in on any problems that arise. From parking lot traffic jams, midday coaster breakdowns and staff shortages - this is the man who must come up with a solution for every problem...and fast. With only a six-month operating season, any daily slowdown in business could equal serious revenue loss.
