Did you visit Cedar Point this year? How have the lines been?

Monday was my 11th time there this year, haha.

For the most part, they've been "normal". You wait about an hour for Mav and Mill, while other rides such as Gemini, WT, and BS tend to have little to no line at all.

But keep in mind that the only day I visit CP is on a Sunday, which tends to be the least busy. I'd recommend using the sticky thread Walt posted on the Trip Planning board if you're wanting make a visit. It's pretty accurate, at least as far as I've seen from my numerous trips up there this year.

I've had a season pass for 4 years now, and I average about 8 trips to CP a year (discluding Halloweekends). I can tell you from my personal experience that Sunday's will almost never let you down, especially in months other than Late July and August.

I went once in July from the 7-11 and the lines were pretty typical for July on a nice summer day. Then I went once in mid-August and I expected the lines to be better than July. But to my surprise they were just as busy as they were back in July.


I love Cedar Point

I went twice. The lines were present both times I went.

I was there in early June and it was fairly busy. We got the Fast Passes the second day and it was like going there on a dead park day.

You never know what you'll get with Hallowweekends, but Sundays are usually the best for small lines. Saturdays during Halloweekends are hell.

I went twice in early June. First day on a Wednesday was real busy for some reason. Lines were an hour for most coasters. Even Disaster Transport was 45 minutes. The next day was a little more what I expected. We were fed up with the line from the first day, so we got Fast Lanes. For the most part we didn't need them, except for TTD, Millennium, and Maverick. Turned an hour wait for MF into a 4 minute one, and turned Maverick's hour and 15 minute wait into a 2 minute wait. Fast Lane was so worth it.

We have Platinum Passes - we went almost everyday from June 28th until July 9th. Most days the lines were not bad at all. The longest wait we ever had was a 40 min wait for Maverick. I rode TTD after only a 15 min wait on July 1st. Now it was about 8:45 pm but that was the SHORTEST wait I have ever had. Same day got on MF after a 30 min wait. Power Tower was walk up and ride as was Sky Hawk most of the days we were there. Actually the longest wait we had was for Snake River Falls - and that was the day that they shut it down.

In my opinion this was the best year as far a waiting to ride was concerned..!!


Please remain seated until the ride comes to a complete AND final stop.....

In early June (on a Saturday) I had Fast Lane and had very minimal waits, like less than 15 minutes for everything. The regular lines for the big coasters were an hour to an hour and a half. Just last Monday lines for the big coasters varied from a half hour to 15 minutes (no FL).

Not sure how many times I went this year, but it was significantly less than any year since 2001 when I first started getting season passes. Definitely less than 10 times, and only about 3 full days. Buying a house tends to eat up more of your summer than you'd think.

I didn't exactly keep count of how many times we went to the park, but I would guess more than 20 (includes visits to Soak City). Moving up to Northern Ohio from Huntsville, AL definitely help us getting to the park more often. Didn't really notice any significant change in the lines this year over any other year. We are heading over again this weekend since the crowds should be lighter.
