Wednesday August 29 Through Sat Sept 1st

Hello All,

I just booked a three night package at HB and I was hoping to get some help with a few questions that I have.

I have never been here this late in August but how busy is the park during this period (Wed, Thur, and Fri)?

Here

Thanks!!-- I should have checked there first.

Well this might be a little more helpful then John linking you to generic information.

I will be there the same time as you like I always do. Last year it was alot busier then it was in years past. I was told it had something to do with Michigan starting school later, so if all stays the same it will be fairly busy and expect to wait fairly long for most rides.

Hope that helps a little.

Ditto what Matt said. That last full week in 2006 was considerably more packed than in years past. :( (At least it's good for the park. We can take solace in that thought.) So be prepared for at least moderately busy lines.

Thanks guys!! I appreciate it. I dont mind at all waiting in lines for the rides, its just thay my girlfriend is not a big fan of Cedar Point or any amusement park (I know!!)--She does not like roller coasters.

So I was really asking for her sake. Hey at least she comes with me!!!

Thanks again for your help!!

If youre going to be there for that many days, you do not need to worry about business. You are more or less guaranteed that at least one of your days will be jammed, and one will be fantastic. Smart to go a few days in a row.

I have never stayed at LHP but hopefully someday I will. It was so much cheaper to stay at HB.

If I was to go with more than the two of us then I would definitely stay there.

Since its on the current train of thought, would you recommend LHP for opening weekend Mr Scott? My thinking is about temperature...whether or not it makes a better spot for staying in warmer temperatures vs. cooler temperatures such as in May or Halloweekends. Ever stayed during opening weekend?

I know this is completely random and I thought I would just post it here, but do Ohio schools go back after Labor Day?

Check page 2 of the general forum.

i stayed the final week last year and the weather was terrible. There was not that much of crowds in the middle of the week, but it was really windy and the lake was so choppy you could not go out on the beach. otherwise everything else was great.

I would suggest staying at LHP at ANY time of the yaer.

MrScott

^^^He strikes again!;)

I would like to share my experience in that when i go to the park and it's 'packed', most waits are still around a half hour or less. With the exception of the newer rides (Dragster, maxair, skyhawk, and MF) the capacity of the park is such that lines aren't much of an issue i think. Sure when i go the last week of August or on a May weekday i expect walk ons, but it's not like a Halloweekend Saturday or the 4th.

I have a LHP cottage booked for the Monday and Tuesday after Opening Day. A cottage for one night was cheaper than the cheapest room in Breakers. Even if it is cold, you can turn on the heat and be nice a cosy. I actually plan on spending lots of time on the lakeview deck, something I've never had since that last 3 times at LHP were in a cabin.
