busiest days of the week

this is from the FAQ, i dont dispute it, i just dont get it. why in the world would wednesday be so much more busy than tuesday? why would sunday be the least busy? i always assumed it was a bell shaped curve with saturday at the top...

3. Basically, all things being equal (i.e. dry weather), here is a breakdown of the busiest days, in order: Saturday, Wednesday/Monday/Friday/Thursday/Tuesday/Sunday. There are exceptions to this "rule" if it rains. If it rains on one day, the next dry day will see a bump in attendance.

"...why in the world would wednesday be so much more busy than tuesday?"

Because more people end vacations on Mondays and start them on Wednesdays?

"...why would sunday be the least busy?"

Because of family "things" other than visiting amusement parks (like church, reunions, etc)?

I think its strange that at Kings Island, the "bell shaped curve" as previously stated really goes into effect...for example, Sundays at Kings Island are alsmost always very crowded, whereas at Cedar Point, Sundays generally are not very crowded...I think it is because Cedar Point is much more of a "Vacation place" than many other parks.

Here's what Cedar Point says.

Cedar Point Tips & FAQ

Best Days To Visit

Cedar Point recommends visiting on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, when attendance is lower. Contrary to popular belief, holidays such as Memorial Day and Labor Day do not result in unusually large crowds. The months with the lowest attendance are May, June and September. *** Edited 7/2/2004 10:10:47 PM UTC by TTD is sinking too!***

Ahhhhh... it's the guy that's trying to steal my name again!

More people come on Wednesday, than on Tuesday. And the least amount of people come on Sunday.

Does there have to be a explanation to everything?

Could you say that again? I didn't quite get it!

My general rule of thumb is to not go on Saturdays, especially in July and Augusta.

honestly... you never know... I've seen it were the busiest day WAS tuesday. I've seen it were saturday was dead. There are so many variables.. that forecasting how the crowds will be is like forecasting the weather.. if you're right 75% of the time... that's pretty good.

Hi, there!

I just returned from my first trip to the point! I got alot of great info from this board - THANKS!

Our first day in the park was Sunday June 27th and crowds were very light - it really made the day great!

Our second day in the park was Tuesday June 29th after a rainy Monday and while it was not mobbed there really was a big jump in the number of people.

So, we found what dorkdork said about the exceptions to be absolutely true! - Even still... Can you have a bad day at Cedar Point? This is one of my new favorite vacation spots - that's for sure!
