Inscription. Infamous inventor and aviation enthusiast Professor Delbert Feinstein set out on a tireless pursuit to fly using man-powered prototypes. Despite many failed attempts, he persisted. Mere steps away is his most prized possession, the Omega 755. Some say that you can still hear Delbert screaming, "3-2-1 fly" while he soared to new heights on his flying machine.

Regarding Professor Delbert Feinstein. Professor Delbert Feinstein is a character who has, through the years, appeared in several different rides at Cedar Point. Most recently, he was the namesake of the Professor Delbert's Frontier Fling, a ripcord attraction where a rider would drop facedown as much as 65 miles per hour. That ride opened in its current form in 2017 and was closed before the 2025 season, with Cedar Point officials saying it would not be moved to another park. Previously, Professor Delbert Feinstein was one of the characters in the Paddlewheel Excursions ride that was in this section of the park from 1962 until closing in 2011. While the sign remained as of May 2025, it was unknown whether Professor Delbert Feinstein would
