A question about end of the month trip

We went to 6 Flags Great America last Saturday evening. It was cold and miserable, and honestly no fun at all. Should I expect similar weather on Nov the first, the last Fri. and Saturday that CP will be open.
I should add that the temp. was about 51F

It could be. Dress in appropriate layers. If it's not rainy or unreasonably windy. It will be fine.

Sandusky, OH
November 1

Normal High: 56
Normal Low: 42

Record High: 82
Record Low: 26

Plan for something in between the record high and record low.

LMAO, Thanks a lot. I will use that information.

Although there was no rain, this past Saturday wasn't amazing at CP weather-wise. I would imagine the weather in a few weekends will be similar.
Weather posted from Sat. says high of 54 and low of 45, with winds at 19-29 MPH, which is what killed me. I thought it was cold even with many layers, super busy, and not really worth going to unless you are REALLY into the Halloweekend things.
Waited nearly 2 hours for MF when the posted wait was 1 hour. All the lines for the haunts were really long. I think we got lucky waiting only 45 minutes for Hexed later in the evening.
I also thought I was adequately prepared for the weather. I had on 2 pairs of socks, winter boots, shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, hat w/ hoodie over it, mittens AND those feet/hand warmer packs and we were all still cold. It actually got better at night when the wind died down a little, but near the lake it was still very chilly.
In hindsight, I wouldn't go again on a Saturday in October. I think if you were miserable at Six Flags, you won't enjoy CP on a busy, cold day either, especially if you go at all during not busy times during the year. It's just not worth it, unless you plan to just hang out, ride some smaller stuff and watch shows. It would be a good time for those things. If you do decide to go, snag a package of those feet and hand warmers. They really did help...and when it got really cold, me and my niece literally ran for a few minutes and warmed up lol.

Wow Coco, that is some thorough reply, and I thank you. Now I will have to make a decision once I can get a forecast a couple days before we go.A high of 55 is about as low as would be acceptable.
Hang around and see shows is all we can do, as my wife's neck surgery took care of coaster riding. It's been like that this year, and probably next.

The weather is so variable. As cold as it was last weekend, this weekend is looking great. Sunny both days with temps in the low sixties.

Wish we could make it this weekend, but it just isn't possible. Maybe we'll get lucky for the final weekend.

I will be there Nov 2nd. Hope for snow - it would be cool to ride MF in a snowstorm - no front seat though! :)

I hope it snows. That would be pretty cool!

No it wouldn't be cool. MF is nearly unbearable to ride when it's in the mid 50's. I wouldn't want to ride it when it's below freezing. If it's cold enough to snow, I doubt any of the major coasters would be running.

I doubt that guests would be allowed through the gates if snow were to fall (or be expected to fall)...

Mid-50's? That's nearly tropical. And yes, coasters have run in the snow before.

I was in the park last Sunday I think it was about 50? Don't know for sure. I was a little chilly at first when we got there around 4 but once I was moving around I was fine with jeans, T-shirt and fleece pullover. I"m not one to get cold really fast. After sitting through a soccer tournament Saturday morning in the rain when I actually did need a winter coat in Oberlin I have to say Sandusky on Sunday was just peachy.

Some of us did Banshee in 32 degrees. And liked it.

At least it wasn't snowing that day. :)

For those who want snow, I hope you get a blizzard! I'll be in Tennessee. Damn, I'll miss closing day. I hope you guys have fun, I'll be thinking about you.

Lol, right there with ya Jeff. Sat front row on the second train dispatched that morning...

I didn't drink the coffee they gave us, it just sat right in front of my face..nice radiating warmth

For whatever it is worth this far in advance, Accuweather shows closing day to be mostly sunny with a high of 54 degrees. Hope it turns out like that.
