Cedar Downs Racing Derby was one of the largest of the famous racing derby rides built by Prior and Church in the early 1920's. It was originally built for Euclid Beach Park near Cleveland, Ohio, where it was a popular ride for 47 years. Cedar Point purchased the ride in 1967 and moved it to its present location, restoring it to its original condition. Cedar Downs continues to delight thousands of riders every year, helping to preserve the memory of Euclid Beach, one of America's great amusement parks, which closed in 1969.
