For days which all of the passholder slots have been taken, that is correct.

It's possible that as you were doing it, someone else booked up the last one. Sunday is showing booked up for me as well. I would check back later in the week, it's always possible that some people cancel. Sorry you're experiencing this.

@ZandIf you have your existing reservations, you need to log in and modify those reservations to the new date. On this page, https://www.cedarpoint.com/reservations, there is a button for "Manage Reservation." You need to click that and edit your reservation from the old day to the new day.

Yup, you don't need the physical card anymore. I'm old school, so I like to have it. It takes like 30 seconds for them to take your picture (which they will likely have to do anyway) and scan a plastic card and hand it to you. They're not specially printed with your name or photo or anything. If you never go to Carowinds, it might be fun to have a pass with that park's name on it just for laughs...mine has Michigan's Adventure since that was the first CF park I went to back in 2017 when I started my current tradition of having passes.

Yeah, if you want to keep your pass in the App you can. If you want a physical card, bring a printout of the code from the e-mail and they can issue you a physical card at the main gate.

It has not. Still a shithole that happens to have a good hyper, a great woodie, and a mixed bag strata. You'll particularly appreciate the "marijuana is prohibited at the park" and "please don't fight" signs every 50 feet.

See, now was that so hard?

@KIEnthusiast, you should have done a quote with the information from the Tweet in addition to linking it. Particularly because now the Twitter link is dead.

They mean at the booth near the front gate. You don't get your Fast Lane wristband *at* the gate when they scan your ticket/pass. @bert425I'd get it for Saturday definitely. It's such a treat at this park...literally every ride except Flight of Fear dumps you right into the station. Just try to hit Bat and Woodstock Express early (they're the only adult-ride-able coasters that aren't on FL). And in other news... Sound cool, but not cooler than an end-of-the-night Beast ride LOL.

When I worked at SF Great Adventure in the late 90s, early 2000s, uniforms were provided for every employee - shirts, pants, jackets, hats...everything except shoes, socks, and underwear. There was a giant warehouse of uniforms in a variety of sizes; it's not like they're custom tailored. You had a choice...you could either wash them at home, in which case you were issued 3 sets and one jacket and one hat, or you could have Wardrobe do your cleaning, where you'd turn in your uniform at the end of the day and be issued a new, clean one upon exchange (they were open almost 24/7). Some departments, like Security, got 5 sets to take home and wash themselves without the option for the uniform-exchange system. I just kinda figured every major park operated like that LOL.

They were slammed last weekend, which was their public opening weekend.

Yeah, Dragster's FL line dumps you in the station as of 2020.

I stand corrected on Daily Operations. Yeah, it can be the case all summer long. Last year was pretty bad, but that was with reduced capacities on the rides. This year, we're back to full capacity, but we also have a literal fuck ton of people that are eager to get back into the world going to parks. That said, the last time I was at the park without Fast Lane was mid-week in 2017, and I was there on a Tuesday and standby queue's were "reasonable" at an hour for Maverick or Millie. I'll never do it again...Fast Lane+ at this park is just a no-brainer in my opinion.

FL wait times for the major coasters (SV, Maverick, Valravn, Raptor, Millie) will often get to approximately 1/4 of the standby wait times. For example, if SV is posting a 3 hour standby wait, the FL wait will be approximately 45 minutes. Yes, this is typical, even before COVID during normal operating season. Yes, FL+ is always worth it at this park, unless it's a Wednesday and looks like its about to downpour and the moon is in the third phase after Venus. Not sure how many more times we need to say it LOL.

Man, @Alex Sutcliff, have I got some good news for you. First, with your paid ticket, for say for a Wednesday, you also get admission for the last two hours on Tuesday night. So, if your travel arrangement permit it, I highly recommend taking advantage of this and getting some rides the night before while the crowds are dying down. Second, Chocolate World and Gardens both open a full two hours before the park, leaving you ample time to do those before your day at the park. Third, the zoo opens a full hour before the park, giving you plenty of time to wander around and start your day there. As for the rides, note that the the park hours are 11-7 mid-week in August. That said, with a Fast Track/Unlimited, you should have more than enough time to hit the major coasters as well as take a walk through the zoo. Keep in mind that the Fast Track only *really* helps with Fahrenheit and Great Bear (these drop you in the station); all of the others from what I remember from last year have the merge point somewhat back in the line. Note also that this plan does not take into account doing the water park, which I absolutely do not recommend trying since lines there are atrocious, even for the lazy river and wave pool (which yes have queue lines). Just don't do it.

Only if you plan on visiting before 5/31. After that, reservations will not be required period.

Apologies. I had misread your posts, I hadn't realized that you haven't been to the park yet this year.

They haven't been open "7 days a week from opening day" for like 15+ years. Your ability to know that opening day is going to be a shitshow is based on your own research...if you were relying on your experiences from almost two decades ago, that's your own fault. Had you done any research into what the park is like in the past 5 years, you would see that opening weekend is always horrible, and before Memorial Day is a crap shoot as to what will be closed. Every. Single. Year. Except 2020, cuz y'know.

My understanding is that it's due to the construction of Tiki Twirl in the old Crypt spot. If you look at this map, it doesn't look like there's much space to work behind it, so they'd have to be in front of it, right in the pathway, to work.

Incredible! I'm going to talk about it when I do my report, but the new track sections (basically everything between the bottom of the first drop and the turnaround) is new, and in the front and row 5 at least, are Mystic-Timbers-smooth, no joke.

How disappointing. So long as it's not gone for good. At least we've still got i350, Twisted Timbers, and Rebel Yell to celebrate.

First day at Kings Island for 2021 is in the books. All around, despite being very busy, I got two rides on almost everything I wanted to (Banshee was down when I went by for my second lap), closed out the night in the only way you should at this park, and even got myself an awesome grilled cheese donut. That said, it was thanks entirely to having Fast Lane...without it, the day would have gone very differently. Full report coming in the next few days. Now to try to wake up for the 8 hour drive to Kings Dominion to check out their passholder preview tomorrow. Yeah that's not happening.

I saw a couple of YouTubers giving detailed analysis of why the moon landing was faked, or insert your chosen conspiracy theory here. Must be true.

From time entering the queue to walking down the exit stairs was 13 minutes for the front row. This while the app was posting a 90 minute standby wait.

Just had my longest wait of the day (with FL+): for two sandwiches at Tom + Chee at around 45 minutes LOL. Cedar Fair, if you're listening, I've got a great idea to make some more money: Fast Lane for restaurants. Make it happen.
