If time and effort are money, and your compensation is the next day's gate price, then you would essentially be playing the part of a secret agent for less than minimum wage.
However, I did used to think about this while growing up around Kings Island. Those woods are pretty expansive and easy to access from something like White Water Canyon. Cedar Point's geography makes it a little tougher to play Metal Gear: Sandusky.
The path you tread is narrow, and the drop is sheer and very high.
Aside from the risk and impracticality, it's fun to ponder this. For one, you would have to take cover prior to the lines being cut off and the security sweeping people to the exits.
If forced to do this, however, I would probably hop the fence somewhere around MF's first overbank, and make my way to the Thunder Canyon area. The safest place would obviously be inside the 'island' of TC, but you'd have to ford the thing to do that. Still, there look to be some mature trees around the area that would be good for hiding, assuming you lay low.
The toughest thing would be to integrate yourself back into the park the next day. Obviously the time between 9 and 10 would be the best to make your move, but in any case, you'd have to be somewhat lucky that an employee doesn't see you hop back onto the path. Without the cover of darkness, a lot of things would have to break your way. Once you get on the frontier trail, you'd be home free.
Of course, you'd have to make travel arrangements with someone so that you didn't leave a car in the parking lot overnight. And we all know that two people can only keep a secret if one of them is dead. ;)

You know that coasters become haunted after parks close, don't you? (SOURCE)

That part is easy. In the soak city lot when you are facing the park you can leave your car in the back left hand corner of the lot closest to the campground. They only allow one car per campsite and any extras have to park there overnight.

Hiding under Magnum is a pretty good spot.
