2 Day Ticket Pics

They are now taking a picture of you at the gate if you use a 2 day, any days ticket. That wasn't the case 3 weeks ago. Bummer.

Bummer that you can't take advantage of them?

I didn't recall it stating that the same person had to use it. I, having a Platinum Pass, was able to purchase these tickets and get someone into both parks without them having to pay for separate admissions. Now, I will probably be taking fewer guests during the summer because I don't want to be trapped in the ride park if I want to cool off in the water park because my friends would have to pay to go with me.
Good thing they are smashing their attendance records this year. Oh... Oops...
The thing is, I and many pass holders don't spend a dime at Cedar Point or other parks once we purchase our passes for everything. The way Cedar Point made extra money off of me was by my bringing others who do spend money there.

Don’t worry, I think I make up the difference on what your not spending.

Fixed that for you.

And in case you didn’t catch the part about guests average in-park spending in the financials... they’re doing just fine in that department.

Zoug68, why are they taking your picture at the gate if you use a two day ticket? I have a platinum pass so it doesn’t effect me, but I am curious as the rest of my family doesn’t have a platinum pass.

Presumably its so they can verify the same person is using the ticket both days.

I see nowhere on the 2 day ticket that the same person must use the ticket only that it can not be resold.

I have a large family so I purchased these tickets so my wife and I can take our 2 oldest girls at a different time then our 2 youngers girls. Hopefully this will not be an issue after they took our pictures

Looks like someone will be in for disappointment and a trip to the “Make Me Whole” department...

This pops up when you buy the 2 day ticket. It seems to cover it clearly.

Valid for 1 guest for 2 visits, any 2 days to Cedar Point and/or Cedar Point Shores Waterpark during the 2018 operating season. Ticket can be used for 2 non-consecutive OR consecutive days in any combination (i.e., 2 days at Cedar Point, 2 days at Cedar Point Shores, 1 day at each park, 2 days at both parks on the same day). Ticket valid for anyone age 3 or older and non-transferable.

That’s generally how it’s always been.

I have a platinum pass and last summer, my family and my brother’s girlfriend went with me. They all had 2 day tickets l, and they used them 2 consecutive days; (back-to-back) at both parks. Like CP in the morning, CP Shores in the afternoon, and back to CP at evening. Same thing the next day.

Yes. That’s how I’ve always understood it as well... but, it seems some people didn’t catch that and the pics are taken to prevent abuse.

But if they’re that hard up they can always use the hairspray on the hand stamp trick.

"2 days at both parks on the same day"

I thought this was a mistake and emailed the park for clarification. You can indeed use the 2-day ticket to get into both parks on both days. Which seems weird, because you're effectively using the ticket 4 times. I'd always assumed the 2-day ticket would get you either CP twice or CP and CPS once each day, that's it.

^That verbiage threw a friend of mine for a loop as well, because he couldn't believe that was the case, given the price point. It's really a good value for people looking to spend a weekend at the park.

I still purchase things even though I purchased 4 Platinum Passes, 2 Meal Plans, 2 Drink Plans...

T-Shirts, Souvenirs, Hats,

Dipping Dots

Tickets to Brew And Bar-B-Que

Tickets To 4th of July Point Fest Fireworks

Overnight stays at Breakers, Lighthouse Point.

Cabana's

Lodging At Camp Wilderness At Kings Dominion

Coaster Stock Tickets

Coaster Mania Tickets

Adult Drinks At Surf Lounge

So yes, I get a great deal with season passes and I use the snot out of them, 35-40 admissions throughout the season going to Cedar Fair parks, but they are still making there coin from me.

Hands down, Cedar Fair season passes are a very economical way to have family fun. I pay an amount that is equal to going to 2 or 3 sporting events.
