I'm kind of a dork, it's okay I own it. While I have many scholarly interests and spend a lot of time in investigative study of serious historical themes and developments, I still have a soft spot for roller-coasters. This semester is a stressful one, putting together a thesis topic and crafting a proposal to defend, getting ready for the last two classes that I need to take in the spring, and gearing up to create my thesis in the summer and defend it. With all this stress I needed an outlet to let my more lighthearted side fly, thanks to a digital history class this semester I have that chance. I need to create a site for a topic of my choosing. While I could have created another part to my thesis, I decided instead to use this as a chance to talk about roller-coasters, Cedar Point amusement park, and history. The page will use pictures of the park over the years to discuss the history of amusement in the United States, and to understand how a small beach park in Ohio turned into the "Rollercoaster Capital of the World" that it is today.
So if you like history, ohio, beaches, or just love rollercoasters feel free to check out the page as it develops. UIS Blog post for HIS 515 Historic Cedar Point Page
