Carrie Boldman, Cedar Point Vice President and General Manager, Sends Shocking Social Media Message to Visitors
In a surprising and uncharacteristically direct social media post, Carrie Boldman, Vice President and General Manager of Cedar Point, addressed visitors with a candid message that has sparked waves across the amusement park community. Known for its record-breaking roller coasters and family-friendly atmosphere, Cedar Point has rarely seen such an intense moment of public confrontation between leadership and its guest base.
The message, posted across Cedar Point’s official platforms, began with a tone of frustration. “To all our guests: we value your support and love for Cedar Point. But it’s time we had a real, honest conversation,” Boldman wrote. “There’s a level of behavior we’ve seen increasing lately that is simply not acceptable.”
She continued, outlining issues ranging from disrespectful treatment of park employees to dangerous behavior in queues and on rides. “We’ve had an uptick in incidents that put both our team and other guests at risk. That includes line-cutting, harassment, vandalism, and failure to follow ride safety rules.”
While theme park managers typically handle these matters internally or with carefully worded press releases, Boldman’s message took a more confrontational approach. “We’re not going to sugarcoat this anymore,” she stated. “If you cannot follow the rules and respect the people who work hard to make your day magical, you are not welcome here.”
The message went on to call for a renewed culture of respect and responsibility among visitors. “Cedar Point is a place for thrills, fun, and memories—not for entitlement and chaos,” she wrote. “We are stepping up enforcement. That means lifetime bans for violent behavior, real consequences for those who harass staff, and zero tolerance for rule-breaking.”
Boldman also addressed the park’s commitment to its employees, saying, “Our team members are not punching bags. They are passionate individuals who choose to make your experience better every day. If you can’t treat them with kindness, don’t come at all.”
While many fans applauded the bold stance, praising Boldman for standing up for park workers and trying to preserve the spirit of the park, others were taken aback by the tone. Some critics labeled it “too aggressive” or “unprofessional,” arguing that such matters should be dealt with behind the scenes. However, park insiders have noted that Boldman’s message comes after a particularly difficult early season, marked by record attendance, unruly guest behavior, and staff fatigue.
A Cedar Point employee who chose to remain anonymous shared, “It’s about time someone said something. We deal with a lot more than people think. Having the GM back us up like this is empowering.”
Since the message was posted, Cedar Point has reportedly increased visible security presence, initiated new guest behavior signage, and launched a social campaign titled “Respect the Park, Respect Each Other,” aimed at reminding visitors of the community values the park strives to uphold.
Boldman concluded her message with a call to action: “We want you here. We want you to laugh, scream, and enjoy the best rides on the planet. But it starts with respect—for the rules, for the people, and for the place. Cedar Point is not just a park—it’s a legacy. Help us protect it.”
In a digital age where corporate messaging often feels filtered and sanitized, Boldman’s raw, personal post has struck a chord. Whether you view it as a justified wake-up call or an overreach, one thing is clear: Cedar Point’s leadership is not staying silent about the behavior of its guests, and Carrie Boldman is not afraid to speak up for her team.
