Check out the size of this arcade

I was at Cedar Point on Monday and got to play in their huge arcade. They had a very large selection of classic arcade games and lots of pinball from the 60's. A bunch of the older games were out of order, though.



I have more pictures at home that I'll try to get posted tonight.

I remember places like that, guess I am old too

I remember 3 for .25 pinball games, playing pong in an arcade . . .

Too bad these places are almost gone.

That arcade looks cool. I manage one similar way back when, but alas times change; and that really sucks.

whoa that looks pretty awesome, I really want to ride the Millenium Force, thats practically a vertical drop and it looks humongous!


This ride looks pretty wild too, also at Cedar Point.


Been about 2 years since I've been to Cedar Point, its a good 5 hour drive from Michigan but its well worth the trip.

Well my post is really OT and has nothing to do with video games yet, I do remember the arcade it was pretty cool and huge!

Only 2 days since I've been there, and a 2 hour drive for me.

Here is a zoomed in pic of the Millennium Force:


Here's another shot of a small portion of the arcade:


Here is Atari's Red Baron, with a bunch of old pinball machines in the background:


Here is one of my favorites, Cyber Sleds:

I know what you mean... I wish I had one of these in my basement.

Wow... The cheapest I found a year or so ago was around $4500. I didn't check out any auctions (Except Ebay) though.

Wow, I need to take a trip to Cedar Point. The sad thing is, I would probably spend all of my time in that arcade. I am definitely not a roller coaster fan.
