Sorry but even though there is only one Physics Day, nearly every day during the week in May is going to be busy with HS / JH kids on school trips. Of course it all depends on what you consider packed, or too long of lines?

Could someone please explain to me the educational benifit of going to Cedar Point on a class trip? Why aren't these kids in school learning? They have the whole summer to go to the park.
Just as a side thought, CP ought to dedicate a day or two in May (before school is out) as "adult day", so adults can enjoy the park with out of uncivilization of teenagers.

Well, PHYSICS Day is usually used to study just that, PHYSICS. And seeing as rollercoasters and amusement park rides are prime examples of physics, why not learn while having fun at the same time??

I guess this could be done if Cedar Point wants to get rid of it's demographic as a family park, not to mention a large portion of ticket sales in May go to school groups for various events like after proms, senior days, physics days, etc... I don't think the GP or CP would go for this idea, I sure don't.

Students are always whining to their teachers, "Is this stuff really usable in real life?" Well, field trips can be a great way to showcase of "schoolwork in action." When I was in high school, my class from Michigan drove six hours to go to the Point for Physics Day, my calculus class went to the Spirit of Ford in Dearborn, MI, to listen to real car designers talk about how they use mathematics in their jobs, and my Advanced Chemistry class went to the Dow Corporation Laboratories (those folks who make Saran Wrap, among other things) in Midland, MI, to speak with research chemists. I can't even begin to count the number of Shakespeare plays my English classes attended while studying British Literature. These trips were one of the highlights of the year -- and yes, we did have to do homework after, but they were still a TON of fun and we got to see why and how what we were learning was applicable in the "real" world.

yay!
I hope its not TOO crowded though...
we called last year, because our school always goes on a day that is NOT physics day. But when we called last year, they gave us the wrong day, so now everything is planned out and we cant change it because of MEAP tests and Senior Skip Day.... so we either go on the official physics day, or dont go at all.
*sigh* :(

Physics Day (or month) as some seem to point out, is a direct result of the push in the mid-eighties of eliminating class trips unless they were EDUCATIONAL...CP got some help from the BGSU Firelands campus and has developed Physics Day into a "fun educational trip" for many. (good luck to those doing it this year)..Thank GOD I am OLD...CP and classwork wouldn't work for me;)
Also, If you want an ADULT ONLY day at CP the BEST time for this is the end of AUgust when CP goes back to 8p.m. closings...MOST schools are back in session and CP doesn't get school groups that week...A GREAT TIME TO VISIT.
There were some people there that didn't want to ride any of the roller coasters. I was wondering why exactly their parents shelled out hundreds of dollars and they came to a place far from home for a week to study physics, and then they chickened out on all the roller coasters.
