First timer, next stupid question

Ok so made my hotel reservation at the breakers.Hope the renovations are good, as I hear the old part sucks, but whatever....
So now on to the important part!
If we are at the breakers, what entrance is best for early entry, andin what order do I want to ride TTD, Magnum, Maverick, and Millennium?We have two full days, Mon and Tue June 18 and 19. We will be there thenight before and will probably get an twilight pass to get the lay ofthe land.
As I haven't been to Cedar Point since '94. I really have no idea whatI'm doing.But very excited to ride everything, and definitely more thanonce!
Thanks in advance for helping out this newbie!

Nice to see your coming to the park. A lot has changed since 94 so it'll be fun to see all the changes. I'm not sure about which entrance but I deffently recommend doing Millenium then Maverick then TTD then Magnum. Magnum gets relatively short lines compared to the rest and Millennium will be the longest. Maverick and TTD are in between, it depends on the day. I personally always do Milennium first then Maverick then TTD.

Resort entrance or the Soak City entrance is the closest to Breakers. The Marina entrance typically has a shorter line to get in. You can take the shuttle to get to it.

Resort entrance by Magnum. I recommend Maverick first, then Millennium Force, then hit up Dragster.


When you visit CP, visit my Mill, est. 1835

I would recommend being at the resort/soak city gate at least 15 minutes before early entry opening. Hit Maverick first then take the frontier trail to Millie (the past couple seasons this was a slow starter and did not open fully at 9:00). If all goes well and you walk fast you should have no problem getting to ttd before the official park opening. (If you stop to buy ride photos all bets are off)

^ We do the same route. I hope Dragster is early entry once again!

I didn't think Dragster was ERT last year?

^ it wasn't "officially" early entry but it often opened early. Even if it is not you can still cut down on the wait by being in line before official opening.

Thanks! So the consensus is Maverick, then Millenium, then TTD, then Magnum.....this takes me past general park opening, and the big four out of the way by 11. Then what?
In Mid June how bad will the longest lines be and for what ride?
Like I said, we will ride something Sunday night, but want to make sure we hit all the big ones over the next two days.
Thanks for humoring me! Been a dream of mine to take my daughter to Cedar Point since she was old enough to ride her first coaster.She has been on Superman at Six Flags New England dozens of times, and is so ready for super thrills!
Oh one more thing..How rocky are the wooden coasters. We have a fairly decent one here in Maine, that is now 15 years old and starting to get shaky. The fabulous wood Coaster at Six Flags New England is 25 or 30 years old now, it used to be spectacular, but now is so shaky it is painful to ride.How are the Woody's at Cedar Point?

Blue Streak is my favorite woodie there, and honestly (in the shaky department), I don't think it is all that bad!

Beware of Mean Streak though... It has definitely gotten mean. That one is very bumpy and can hurt quite a bit. Although you should definitely go on it just to try it out.

Good luck and have fun!

Save Raptor for evening time. On most days, the line gets shorter the closer you get to park closing time. Same with Magnum if you want to re-ride that later in the day. If you want to hit Mantis, that's probably going to be your longest wait unless you catch it right when it opens.


And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

Make sure you hit the flats too like Skyhawk, maXair and WindSeeker.
