The Coaster101 Podcast: Inside Snake River Expedition with The Weber Group

Cedar Point is celebrating their 150th Anniversary this season, and part of that major celebration is the addition of the Snake River Expedition, a spiritual successor to the park’s former Paddleboat Excursion. This week on the podcast, we talk with Brad Stivers and Billy Boyd of The Weber Group, who helped bring the attraction to life.

We talk inspiration, creative processes, production animatronic animals and exploding buildings, and everything in between! We even learn about their personal favorite animatronics and what it was like creating an attraction that’s essentially Cedar Point’s version of Jungle Cruise meets The Great Movie Ride.
