BitterOldHag Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Received an email from CP today stating that reservations will be required for the season (at least for now). It mentioned that reservations will open for season pass holders on April 26 at 11:00 am. Guests staying at CP's onsite properties already have a reservation for the days they are staying. So if anyone had planned on going, make sure you are online and mashing the refresh button next Monday! ^ Oh, you must do Cedar Downs. I'm sure others will chime in and say the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have booked Breakers hotel for 4 nights 3 days and feeling good about it. I know about the main headline coasters but I don't know much about the other non coaster stuff that might be worth experiencing. I would like to try Windseeker because I have never been on this ride type before but if there are some other 'must do' attractions then I would be interested to know about them. They will be second to the main coaster line up but I'm not totally going by my coaster count and would happily trade a ride on something like cedar creek mine train for something else if time becomes tight. I would recommend the french fries. And the Skyride. Also Spend a day at King's Island. Not too far of a drive Wonderful parks in Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Cedar Downs is (by far) my favorite flat at Cedar Point. it's SO much better than it looks when observed from the sidelines. (the Screaming Swing at CP is really good too - tho runs a short cycle. Can't think of the name of that off top of my head.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 ^^ I wondered when you were going to bring Cedar Downs up. And I totally agree about that freekin' Swing, too. Short cycle, but omgomgomgomg! Here it is! And it's called Skyhawk. (Photo from the net) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 So excited about the Fast Lane news. Even on a weekday/event should be worth it for S V and maverick alone, and w limited capacity. Pretty excited. Oh shyhawk! I am a hardcore fanboy. I will not go to CP and not ride it, usually a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 oh. . just realized you're from UK, and we're talking Cedar Downs without throwing up a picture. (it's NOT a Carousel. . tho it's slightly related. The centrifugal forces are fun as hell - especially on the outer ring of horses) I ride it MANY times during my trips to CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 and don't forget to stop into the petting zoo area in Frontier Town (on the way to Steel Vengeance/Maverick from Millennium Force). you gotta get your selfie with Samson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qpb2004 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hey all, just reaching out to ask if any members of this thread will be attending Coastermania. I'll be traveling to CP with my family who won't be attending the event, so I'd be interested in riding with some other enthusiasts during the ERTs. If anyone's going and wants to meet up, feel free to shoot me a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Sutcliff Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Ok since fast lane is coming in some form. Should I jump in when first available to snatch what I can for September or is it safe to wait until beginning of August? Also since we are staying on resort for early access I was thinking about skipping the fast lane on Friday to save money and spend Friday getting the lay of the land but purchasing the fast lane for Saturday and Sunday when crowd's are heavier. Hopefully two days of fast lane and early access will be enough.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 If I recall, you're coming in on Labor Day Weekend...if that is the case, then yes, you should jump on Fast Lane Plus for Saturday and Sunday as soon as possible. There is a good chance it will sell out. Don't bother with the standard Fast Lane, the rides you really need it for are only on Plus. Saturday and Sunday with Fast Lane Plus should be enough time, barring mechanical or weather related closures. Taking Friday as a "get oriented day" without Fast Lane Plus makes sense, and you can also try to hit the rides that aren't on Fast Lane Plus (notably, Iron Dragon and Cedar Creek Mine Ride).

coasterbill Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 There's no way to really answer those questions. You're taking a gamble no matter what. If you lived in the US I would tell you to book immediately since we don't know how many they plan to sell (it's probably less than normal) but since you're also hoping for international travel restrictions to change knowing that you could be out hundreds of dollars if they don't that does complicate things. It's totally up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyUD06 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 *sigh* Oh Cedar Fair... Says plain as day on the store page, "Up to 3 reservations may be made per Season Pass." What do you know, after two, I get the message of "Maximum Number of Reservations Reached." I mean, it's not like you used this same system all last year....LOL. You're making it so hard to love you. But of course I still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I was able to book 3 days for Cedar Point; however, I had to do a separate "order" for each reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Weird. Guess I'll try again to wait through the queue to be able access the site to try again. Only 32 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Sutcliff Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Praise the lord I have purchased my fast pass plus for labor day weekend. Couldn't stretch to more than one day at $159 per person but hopefully I can add another day nearer the time. Managed to get KD at a much more reasonable $65 too. So glad to hear that trains will be fully loaded as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if better to save $ for a FastLane at Carowinds, planning on being there for opening day (just how it worked out ha). But yeah so glad Cedar Fair has opened it up. I was prepared to do so...but the thought of CP without FastLane was giving me anxiety ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
