"American Portrait is dedicated to the Spirit of America," said John Hildebrandt, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. "It will combine patriotic and contemporary music with unique images [image-nocss] of American life. The program will be fast-paced, uplifting and will be enjoyed by everyone in the family."
The 15-minute program will be presented nightly beginning June 3 through August 21. American Portrait will be shown on the park's 3,600-square-foot projection screen located on the Iron Dragon Midway. On most nights, American Portrait is scheduled to be shown at 10:00 p.m.
The park's first nighttime sound and light show, The Summer Spectacular, began in 1995 as part of Cedar Point's 125th anniversary celebration.
"We are proud to join Cedar Point in bringing this patriotic salute to the park," said Tom Kelley, Marathon's senior vice president marketing. "The brilliance and high energy of the new American Portrait nighttime show will be the perfect ending to a visit to Cedar Point."
