Best Entrance

I'm looking for the best entrance to ride MF first thing in the morning. I couldn't find the answer in any searches, but is there a better entrance than the main entrance? And if so, how do you get there? Thanks!

Marina. I've never used it, so don't know for sure, but I suspect you can walk to it from the main parking lot by going clockwise around the park. Check the map for its location.

------------------
It's not war, famine, or pestilence; it's only downtime.

Go to the bay side of the parking lot. You will find the perimeter road that goes to Soak City. The road has a blue painted sidewalk on one side where it runs next to Blue Streak, follow that to the marina gate.

Florida may have Disney World and Key West,
but Ohio has Cedar Point and Put-In-Bay.
It's great to live in Ohio!

Marina lot without a doubt. CP even painted a blue walkway from the main lot to the Marina entrance , I'm assuming for that people are going to walk down there anyway.

------------------
The best thing about Six Flags "Worlds of Adventure" is that Cedar Point is nearby!

I also noticed a sign right after the Marina entrance that says "No Pedestrians", so I assume that you just walk from the front lot to the Marina lot. Its not really that far of a walk either if you get to the park early enough. And I doubt there would be much of a line to get in in the morning.

Hey, thanks a ton for the info. 4 more days for me now! You know, the last week before a CP trip always seems like 3 months....

I use the Marina entrance and I always end up with one of the first three train to go.

Well, on closing day last year, I used the entrance by Wicked Twister. I was the fourth person at Millennium Force, and managed to be in the front row of the first train out.

Actually the hotel entrance is a bit FASTER not closer but FASTER. Of course this is only if you are one of those to run to the ride just like me!

Monty before first ride on TTD- " I’ve ridden dozens of coasters across the country. Then why did Top Thrill Dragster scare the dickens out of me?"

my nephew and I used the marina entrance last Tuesday and Wednesday and we were on the 1st or 2nd day both days.

around past the blue streak.

we stayed at hotel breakers last tues and wed. at 8:30 the hotel drove us to the marina entrance. there was only 15 to 20 people at the entrance at 9:00. we walked to MF and got 2nd seat on 2nd train.

Okay, I am just wondering, I am in Joe's Cool Club but haven't made an effort to go early in the morning to use my Exclusive Ride Time in the morning, but how do you use the Marina entrance, do you just walk over there from the parking lot and do they except early admission at that entrance?

------------------
Life has it's ups and downs, might as well make it on a coaster!

Yes... and no, they will not except early admission but they will accept it :)

Stop Still Dragster 3...2...1... No !! ;)

I went to CP with my class and the main entrance was packed. My friend and I used the Marinia Entrance, when we got in MF already had a wait (resort guest). So we went to Mean Streak. Frontier Town was empty. I got front seat, first train on Mean Streak that day.
