News: Cedar Point prepares to set sail

Posted at 5:38 PM EDT (2138 GMT)

Oct. 28th, 2004 -- This Sunday, Cedar Point's Radisson Harbour Inn will close. It will reopen Friday, Nov. 5, as the all-new tropical-themed Castaway Bay after a $22 million expansion and renovation project.

The centerpiece of Castaway Bay is the giant indoor waterpark, a five-story, 38,000 square-foot complex overflowing with all kinds of aquatic activities. However, day visitors to Cedar Point are out of luck, as the waterpark will only be open to overnight guests of the resort.

Unlike Cedar Point itself, the hotel will be open all year. It covers 230,000 square feet and features 237 rooms and suites. In addition to the waterpark, the hotel also has many of the other standard amenities, including an exercise room, shops, and restaurants.

Check back within the next week as we will be covering its grand reopening.
