Today at the park

Apparently a lot of schools are out today, so that could be the reason for the large crowds. Someone posted the list of closed rides today online and it looks like the Thursday night closures are all closed today also (Gemini, Rougarou, Mine Ride, Corkscrew, Blue Streak, etc).

Edit: just looked at Queue Times. Siren's is at 80 mins, Iron Dragon, TT2, Steel Vengeance and Maverick are all at 60.

I'm not going to try to justify the park closing early (in this post), but I want to ask, as the park ever closed early other than:

1) Significant utility issues. i.e. no power, no water

2) Weather when its cold, rainy, windy, and dead slow.

I don't think I can recall them closing for weather when all four of those conditions were met.

If they were to close, as they did, then the ability to use that day's ticket should be extended to any day in 2026.Some people may not be able to come back any longer this season. This type of treatment, or business decision, may fly under the radar for most people. However, if this and other things persist, people will eventually catch on. Could it hurt the park financially? This reminds me of when a restaurant chain slowly goes out of business. They cut staff, portion size, free things like rolls and things, and raise prices. I see the similarity, do you? They made a business decision based on profit, not the relationship with the guests. They should have stayed open and let the guests decide what to do. I am still astonished by this.

I will admit that looking at the forecast for tomorrow night (Thursday 10/30) I plan to keep an eye on the website and socials for the park before making the trip tomorrow. Before the closure two Sundays ago I would have never thought the need to do that for Cedar Point.

Could get tricky. I’m sure they take into account any presale items for the day, such a fastlane, as one indicator of upcoming crowd level. I thought about going but the time is better spent carving pumpkins vs fighting rain.

It's cold, wet, and windy here this morning, and the forecast for this evening doesn't look much better.
Being local, I'll go if it's open, but I wouldn't drive any distance to get here.

I'll be there, but I'm checking into Breakers for the entire weekend. It's looking like there won't be much running if the park does stay open. But the bars will still be open so I'll go in 🍻

At least the rest of the weekend looks OK.

I'll be there tomorrow-Sunday evening. Shall be chilly, but may be hitting up a few of the bars for drinks to warm me up.
