CBS is reporting that people are trapped in rides at the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky - on roller coasters and stuff. Hotter than blazes there, and they've been stuck there for a couple hours or so.

Ack, hadn't thought about that possibility. I've been to Cedar Point (*great* amusement park, one of the best in the country). The place is "hugh", I can't imagine how many different rides will be stuck with literally thousands of people affected, and how hard it will be to get them down -- it's a messy enough job when *one* ride gets stuck, much less the entire park.

If power is out in Sandusky, I wonder how Tommyboy is handling things over at the Callahan auto parts plant.

They have to have some way of getting these rides down manually. Don't they?
