First Trip to CP May 20-21

Got our rooms booked for our first ever trip to Cedar Point!!! We budgeted the money to get the FLP for both days so we can get the most out of our time, as we are making an 8 hour drive. Can't wait to ride Gatekeeper, as never having rode a wingrider, cant wait to experience this!!!

Awesome! You will enjoy every bit of it! The park usually doesn't get busy until memorial day so you might not even need the fast lane, that is, unless you will be coming on a Saturday. I will be working there this summer! Feel free to ask questions about the park. There are plenty of people that can answer them on this site.

I'd save my money- every year we go Friday and Saturday- the week after opening- the park won't be crazy busy at all.

Yeah I don't think you would need the fast lane passes. They're a bit expensive anyways this year.

If I were you I definitely would not buy Fast Lane before you go. It could be different this year due to GateKeeper, but usually weekdays in May are pretty empty. You should wait until you get to the park and see how busy it is to decide whether or not it would be worth it to get Fast Lane, but I have a feeling you won't even need to get it.

You'll love the park and everything it has to offer, and you will be wanting to return as soon as you leave. Like BCTheGateKeeper said, if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask them since many people on here could probably answer them. Have fun!

We make an 8 hour drive the Cedar Point too! It's so much fun and you'll love it!! I wanted to go on those days too but it didn't work out for us so we're going the Friday and Saturday before you go. I wanted to go on the 20 and 21 because it shouldn't be busy and you more than likely won't need the fast passes. The lines should be pretty short which sounds awesome to me! But as soon as you leave to go home you're going to miss it and want to come back. That always happens to me! I could live there from like May to early September so I can go whenever I want! Have lots of fun, which I know you will!! :)

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the tips! Unfortunately, we purchased the fast lane plus passes when we booked. Like I said we had already budgeted the money for them. The only reason we wanted to go ahead and get them was because last year we went to Kings Island for the first time around the same time (early May) and everyone told us that is wasnt going to be busy. However the two days that we were there, there were easily 40-50 bus loads of students there, and it wasnt math and science week, we made sure to avoid that. Every major ride was easily an hour plus wait. So when we knew we would be making the trip to the point this year, we made sure to budget the money for fast lane. Our home park is Holiday World, and if you have ever been there in early May, the park is a ghost town you can walk onto every ride in the dry park AND the waterpark. So like I said we went ahead and got the Fast Lane so we could "further" enjoy our time in the park. Cant wait to ride Gatekeeper!!!

First time to CP, great plan to get the FLP, we had them last year, it was such a fantastic experience we are coming back this year to do it again, and we are coming 11 hours so that tells you how much we loved the park with FL.
