When Good Morning America arrived at Cedar Point Amusement Park for a feature on Steel Vengeance, Crystal Amberlyn found the “talent” needed to fill the giant coaster’s seats.
The Ohio Northern University senior runs interference for media, heads up the in-house Snapchat account and does what’s needed for Cedar Point to put its best foot forward.
“I remember my first day on the job,” recalled Crystal. “I was thrown into a video shoot for the new Forbidden Frontier on Adventure Island. I learned to do what’s needed in order to make things run smoothly. Many times it’s behind the scenes.”
