Tips on riding the M-Force
As a season pass holder I, as well as many of you, have learned several tricks to manipulating your wait times at Cedar Point.
I would like to focus on the MF for now, and share at least two important tips to getting on this ride without the major wait.
#1: The Morning Hustle
If you arrive before 9am, be sure to line up at the MARINA ENTRANCE. You can get there by walking down parimeter road along the blue streak.
After the national anthem they will open gates and you can "jog" to the ride. TIP: When using marina gate you do NOT have to run, unlike other gates.
#2: Double ride tickets.
Do not let the long ticket line scare you away. I promise the line will take no more than 5 or so minutes. In fact, get in line twice so you can grab 2 tickets. The wait for the actual ride will be no more than 25 minutes, just enough time to go for a re-ride in the same hour!
Using these technique, me and a friend have gotten 3 rides on the MF with a "TOTAL" of 1 hour of waiting time. Leaves lots of time for the other great rides!

Here's a change of pace and it works on all Intamin hyper/giga coasters:
Slouch in your seat as soon as you get on.
I thought of this trick after getting stapled by a ride op one too many times on S:ROS at SFA. Even if the ride-op staples you, you can sit up straight and have a comfortable ride. It's worked for me every time since and so all my rides on MF were "staple-free."

Get TTR tickets early, and get as many as you can. Typical wait times for TTR are about 10 - 12 min. to get a TTR ticket and about 20 - 25 min. in the queue line each time you ride. As you can see, with TTR it's possible to ride MF a lot. But only if you get in the TTR line early. Your best bet is to spend 30 - 60 min. collecting tickets that you can use throughout your day to ride MF multiple times.
