OK, get this! I had a thread not soo long ago about the age limit to stay at Sand Castle! Some people from this site said that they would let you stay but they would need to contact an adult! I'll be 21 in a few months, I consider myself an adult!
Anyway, I told them that I would be staying with people 21 and over, but they would be comming a few hours later! The Guy at sand Castle told me that they would not let me check in until the 21yr old arrived. Even though Im paying for the room! (Of corse that was a lie, noone else is comming later) This Is bull Poop! I have literally thousand in stocks with Cedar Fairs, I also have Ownership in Cedar Fairs... Yet I cant stay in a room!! Whats up! Anyone have an Ideas I want to call them back Monday!!!! I need a room for Coaster Mania!!!!

Their policy is what it is.
What is Cedar Fairs, and what's the difference between having "thousands of stocks" and "ownership?"

Thats the people who own cedar point!
And I believe it does make a difference! I donate my money into a park i love and my family has loved for years and what do i get in return. Jack----!!! I have a Stock holders book here that says in plain english "We work with our partners to make them happier" bla bla bla! Well lets see them back that up! The park is run great but I never cared for the folks who manage the resorts!

All I am going to say is that I had to wait three years to be able to get my own room on point. I did my time and now I can get one, its no big deal. Its a good thing I guess becuase I saved some money thanks to the Econolodge.

Stock holders (or in this case partnership unit holders) ARE owners.
I don't see how you're donating money to the park, since they're not a charity.
I own a few shares as well, but that doesn't entitle me to anything.

The lady on the phone told me that the policy (must be 21) is the same as last year, but this year it is being enforced, with no exceptions. Last year it was up to the manager, this year the policy stands.
I'm kinda bummed.

Well I feel it intitles me to something!!! You run a great site jeff, but I dont know what you know about partnerships and stocks. I own many stocks in companys that provide you with special treatment when you become a stock holder But, thats getting off the subject! All Im saying...
Potty mouth is not appreciated or permitted here. Take that crap elsewhere. You've been warned. -J

I feel bad for the poor person who is just doing their job and following the policies of their company who has to listen to you. I will not rant, this it not the time or place for that. Take Dan's advice, hit up the Econolodge.
*finishes packing for spring break, muttering something about people who always want special treatment for some reason or the other*
If they gave you special treatment, what about the next 19 or 20 year old who goes "Well, that person got blah blah blah?" Get over yourself and wait until you're 21 to stay at Sand Castle.
Oh, and another thing, why does it matter if you consider yourself an adult? I know a lot of 14 year olds who "consider themselves adults." Doesn't mean you are one, and your actions certainly don't show it.

I see his point though, through the prevaling haze of CP-worship. He isn't allowed to stay in a hotel he has partial [albeit very small] ownership of. That would slightly irk me too, especially considering the man can vote!
[He is old enough to help elect the leaders of his country, but isn't considered mature enough to stay alone in a hotel room. This is a weird world we live in.]

Is an 18 year-old Miller Brewing Co. share holder entitled to get free beer or drink it at all? I think not.
Owning stock in a company is something you do as an investment, not so you can tell the CEO how to run the company. I have five digits worth of various stocks, mutual funds and other investments. I don't get any special treatment for any of them. Heck, some of them are sold again before I even get the paperwork. I know a few things about trading, so don't go there.
And it goes back to what I said in the first place: Their policy is what it is, and exists probably because lawyers said they could not sell rooms that might harbor illegal activity (i.e., underage consumption). If they did, they could be held responsible in the same way a friend could be responsible for purchasing alcohol for you. That's simple case law; the precedent has already been set.
And as a side note, the insurance companies will likely charge a higher premium because people under 21 are more likely to vandalize. It's not fair, but it is statistically factual.
And finally, they book nearly 100% of their rooms throughout the season, so they can pretty much pick and choose who they offer rooms.

Well put Jeff! Rules are rules, many people buy into things thinking "Hey whats in it for me". Buying stocks is for investment, not "what other perks can I get out of this"

Tmsnake I own stock in Cedar Fair. Plus I'm a summer employee at Cedar Point. Why would it be alright for you to be able to reserve a room if you're not 21, but since you own stock in Cedar Fair you're allowed to because you own CF stock and you're allowed to because they owe it to you. If that was the case they'd have to do the same thing for everybody who isn't 21 and who owns CF stock. But then they would have a problem. Because the people who aren't 21, or aren't stock holders would say it's not fair. Even though you say that "it intitles me to something" you have to wait until you're 21. Well Cedar Fair is intitling you to something it's called Millennium Force. They are spending $25 million on MF. By the way don't get mad at the person who you talked to on the phone, because he's just doing his job.

This is from the Cedar Point Resorts Accomodations Rules website on their web page
"THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO BOTH PROPERTIES:
MINORS UNDER 21 ARE NOT PERMITTED TO REGISTER "
Case closed. I am not sure, but I think it is law you have to be 21 to get a room. You have to be 25 to rent a car but you can drive at 16 too. They don't want a bunch of 18 year old high school kids renting a room for a party and destroying it.

No, actually it's not. I did it last year at 17 in Sandusky. [Holiday Inn Express] That could be because I reserved via their website, however.
Ick. I work in retail so I know how it is. I know policy probably doesn't seem fair, but please don't explode on people who don't give a crap because they're carrying out the company's policy. That's my #1 pet peeve. (I've learned to just ignore them and rather rudly redirect them to the proper authorities :))
I thought you had to be 18! I think you should just stay at a hotel outside the park or get someone who is 21 to come with you or stay at camper village if you have a camper I think you only have to be eighteen there or sleep in your car at one of the hotel parking lots!!(JOKING!!)

It all depends on the companys policy, but it is never under 18 because anyone under that age cannot sign a legal contract.
BTW - I have slept in my car!! I was 17..my 20yearold sister(whom the room was going to be under) backed out and I was so enraged that I took off on my 6hour drive by myself and slept in the raddison parking lot for 3 hours.
