Cedar Downs Racing Derby is a Derby Racer built by US manufacturer Prior and Church Company currently located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, USA. The ride originally opened at Euclid Beach Park as the Great American Racing Derby in 1921.[1]
History
The ride originally opened at Euclid Beach Park in 1921 as the Great American Racing Derby, though it was later known as just Racing Derby. At one point in its time at Euclid Beach Park, some of the horse-shaped ride vehicles were replaced with bicycle-shaped ones.[2] The ride closed at Euclid Beach Park after the 1965 season and was relocated to Cedar Point. The ride opened at Cedar Point in 1967.[3]
