JOE COOL QUESTIONS

Hi Everyone...I just found this website and decided to join....so Hello!

My Question is....We went and bought season passes this past fall during the Halloweekends..We upgraded and went for Joe Cool...What time can we enter the park? Is it 9:00? Or 8:30? Or what time?

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome Matty. It's 9:00.

Coasterking39 is correct, 9:00 am. It isn't a bad idea, however, to check the calendar, as last year, there were a few select days throughout the season where Joe Cool was 9:30 and the general public was admited at 10:00. Not many days, but there were a few. It doesn't appear, at this point, that there are any of those days this year, but just in case...

Joe cool club is worth it for the early entry, and the parking pass on your pass. I also used to many times for on-ride photo discounts.

Welcome Matty, and yes it is 9:00.
Keep this in mind though:

from OnPoint:
How early do the early entry rides open?

From Tony & Tyler:
Gregory, it depends on the operating day.Usually 30 minutes to an hour before general park opening.

It depends a lot on when they get done with testing the rides and doing all that kind of stuff. Raptor and Maxair seemed pretty reliable for opening on time.

Thanks to everyone who have answered my questions. You all seem like a great group of people. I am sure that our Joe Cool Passes will be a great Investment!!!

I just can't wait to be riding the Raptor while they are playing LeAnn Rimes "God Bless America"!

Since you are from GR, if you tend to make your trips multi-day you can skip the JC and just stay on-point at a resort. Staying at the resort automatically gets you early admission.

And free parking, if I'm not mistaken.

Well, you still have to pay at the booth, but you get reimbursed when you check-in.

We try to stay at one of the resorts once a year....We go several times during several times during the summer....last year we went 6 weekends. But with the cost of the Resort....We usually end up staying at a local hotel.

This year we plan on doing one of the weekends at Lighthouse Point!! They look very cool!!!!!

They are. I think you will find them the best way to enjoy The Point.

MrScott, you should be a LHP spokes person. Maybe do some nice commercials, make some money on the side. If you need someone else to be in the commercials, give me a call. ;)

lol @ Vince982!

Everytime I've booked a non-CP-owned hotel in Sandusky to save a few bucks compared to Breakers Express, I've regretted it.

If you stay at Breaker's Express... do you get early admittance?

You are not reimbursed for parking as per the Resorts webpage, however it doesn't say anything about early admission. You can try emailing them at cpresorts@cedarpoint.com though. That's how I always get my questions answered.

From CedarPoint.com:

When you arrive at the Cedar Point Toll Booth please stay in the far left lane. A parking fee is assessed at that time. ( The parking fee is refunded upon check in at the front desk. Please save and present your parking voucher for reimbursement.)

Cedar Point Resorts guests can enter the park one-half hour before it's opened to the general public to ride select coasters

He is wondering about Breakers Express, which is off point. BE guests are not reimbursed for their parking fee. It does not say if they get early admittance though.

Ahhh... I thought that your comment was strange, Jugga. Hmm... Maybe I should actually read the entire thread before posting, eh? :)
