I know they suck but on the day it rains what do you do, because I am looking at the 10 day forcast and its at 40% chance right now and I still want to have a good time

Consider the fact that if it rains for 2 hours that "2 hours worth of crowds" will probably also leave the point, and especially when you start noticing Maverick and TTD trains leaving the station after they have just re-opened with a walk on line.
Most people need SOME break for lunch, weather it be Panda Express or Famous Daves (15 minutes vs 1 hour+).
Your going to just want to focus on staying dry. Many people in here will talk about going to see a show or playing some games. Being wet at the point when you didn't plan on it sucks.
Your the exact reason the park isn't as busy on "somewhat rainy days". Because your pessimistic about the situation, you figure to not be getting the most for your money.
Eat a nice lunch at TGI Fridays or Famous Daves where you have to wait for real food to be prepared. Than find a dry spot to camp out by a coaster. TTD and MF have the lockers that are covered which will provide you with minimal protection, and you'll be the first to know when the coaster re-opens.
There is plenty to do during "rain delays"... See a show, browse gift shops, go to the Town Hall Museum, sit down for a meal.... and as long as it isn't lightning, many rides will still be open.
From what I've read it sounds like the rain policy has been relaxed somewhat for this year.

Some of my best days at the point have been rainy days. Two examples; we drove in from Pittsburgh all morning to go to Starlight and it rained the entire time. It quit just as we were pulling into an empty parking lot. It was the first year for MS and we walked on. It was actually a great ride back then. The other time was about the 2nd week in May while I was in college. It was pretty cold and misting, and there was noone at all in the park, we walked on to everything.
Get wet! :)
Most small rides still run, I like Scrambler in the
rain... And the Arcade, one of the best days I had
at Cedar Point in the rain, I played Air Hockey
for quite a while.
Does Thunder Canyon run in the rain? Go get wet on that
ride, your wet anyways.
GATEKEEPER-I came, I rode, I was mildly disappointed; until a second ride (rear left) put GateKeeper back on the...it's a nice ride list.
Merry-Go-Round in Sandusky is a good place to go if it rains. They have lots of Cedar Point items on display.

Well, on a rainy day at CP, I do several cool things:
- stare at my favorite rides at they sit miserably in the wet
- hang out in hotel breaker's lobby and sit while snoopy marches in to dance with families in the lobby
- go into the main arcade and get trampled by wild game fanatics running around
- walk the frontier trail and slip on the wet midways
- ride a small flat ride and get stuck on it to find out it will just break anyways
That's about it as for what I do inthe rain....
