<p>The haunted ballroom at Cedar Point is located above the arcade on  the main midway, which is used occasionally by the park or rented out  for Proms. Spectral music is often heard there, and ghostly dancers are  seen.<span id="more-701"></span></p>
<p>During our trip there on May 25, 2008 we did not see anything out of  the ordinary but we did get some good pictures!</p>
<p><a href="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-outsidezoom.jpg" rel="lightbox[701]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-713" title="cpb-outsidezoom" src="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-outsidezoom-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Here is the ballroom for the midway.  If you have been to Cedar Point you may have been to the arcade  below.</p>
<p><a href="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-night.jpg" rel="lightbox[701]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-711" title="cpb-night" src="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-night-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<h2>The Inside</h2>
<p><a href="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-enter.jpg" rel="lightbox[701]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-708" title="cpb-enter" src="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-enter-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Take one step in the 1906 Coliseum at Cedar Point, boasting an  enormous ballroom on the top level, and you&#8217;ll feel like you&#8217;re in the  middle of the golden age of ballroom dancing and Big Bands.</p>
<p><a href="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-enterstage.jpg" rel="lightbox[701]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-709" title="cpb-enterstage" src="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-enterstage-500x344.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="344" /></a></p>
<p>In the 1930s, the ballroom saved Cedar Point from folding (as  many  parks did during this era) during the Great Depression with nightly   performances by Big Bands such as Woody Herman, Guy Lombardo, Benny   Goodman and Blue Barron.</p>
<p><a href="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-back.jpg" rel="lightbox[701]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-704" title="cpb-back" src="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-back-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Today, it stands with a quiet grace and  splendor as one of only a few  remaining amusement park ballrooms.</p>
<p><a href="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-side.jpg" rel="lightbox[701]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-714" title="cpb-side" src="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-side-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Lots of chairs and tables in here.</p>
<p><a href="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-table.jpg" rel="lightbox[701]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-715" title="cpb-table" src="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-table-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Looking to the back you see some tables and chairs and a sign for the restrooms.</p>
<p><a href="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-fromstage.jpg" rel="lightbox[701]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-710" title="cpb-fromstage" src="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-fromstage-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Looking to the back from on the stage!</p>
<p><a href="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-decorated.jpg" rel="lightbox[701]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-707" title="cpb-decorated" src="http://ohioforgotten.drewborg.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/cpb-decorated-500x202.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>This is a picture taken from the Cedar Point <a href="http://www.cedarpoint.com/" target="_blank">website</a> of the decorated ballroom.</p>
