Understaffing at Cedar Point hits nightmarish levels...

There’s always been limited food venues on Fridays durning Halloweekends.

I actually felt the park was pretty well staffed for a Friday halloweekends. Many foods stands open, more than enough for the crowd. Every freestyle except for the frontier town location was open (which makes sense with scare zone) . Rides witch were advertised to be open had normal staffing.

Only thing I didn’t see was the fall treats carts.

I left around 1PM today and the park is very busy. Almost all of the food stands were open that I saw (more may of opened after I left), most had no lines and they seemed prepared, and some food trucks were scattered around the park. Rides were running at full capacity from what I saw, Magnum had all three trains running, the rides all seemed staffed. Millennium had issues with the red train, it was making a horrible noise the entire way up the lift hill, I think they transferred it off but the ride did open. The parking lost was almost full when I left and cars were still coming in. Seemed like a normal summer day to me. One thing I noticed all the games in the front of the park were still closed when I left but I am sure they will open at some point today. Hopefully the park can stay staffed for these next 7 weeks of busy Saturdays. I saw a lot of International workers still there too.

Yeah I left around 12:30 today from Breakers and I was amazed how full the lot and cars waiting to get in was. I'm sure its normal for a day like today but I've never just swooped in on a Friday and left on Saturday.

Seems like this will be a good test of what the park has learned from last year. On a side note last night even in the station you could only see half of TTD's tower. Launching straight into the "Clouds" made for one unique ride!

For the huge crowd, I thought the park did really well today. Good service, no complaints.

I got there today at 10:30, stayed until 1, came back at 7:30, and rode everything except for Millennium Force and Maverick. Park was well staffed and ready for today's crowds.

Went yesterday. Most of the park was staffed pretty good. Didn't like it that Frontier fold overs and Buckaroos Burritos weren't open. These are the 2 places they were really promoting at WCO.

I'll echo most of the other sentiments above (from my Saturday visit) and say that the park was alot more prepared than last year at this time. Yes some of the game stands up front opened after 3pm but then stayed open til midnight. The lot was totally full (43 E parking in the back) by 3pm, then the bay and grass parking started. It was very crowded but the crowds were spread out evenly in the park. Not intolerable.

All of the food stands were staffed well. 2 hours waits for Maverick and Steel V at times but to be expected.

ONce the Haunts opened, alot of coasters were 15 minute waits or less including Raptor and GK. Better job by CP this year. Keep up the great work!
