prozach626 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 If it cuts more people out of the FLP lane, I'm all for it. I wonder if they're finally realizing the people who paid money for FLP are bitching about waiting 45 minutes to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I believe with platinum pass I can get FL+ for FL price in park. Is that still a thing? I'm going during the week for a few doys so don't mind waiting 20 minutes a ride but will definitely buy day of if it's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Sutcliff Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Today I pulled the pin on our USA road trip since the next US travel review isn't until the 21 August. Just want to shout out to Cedar Point customer service. They refunded our breakers money in full plus didn't quibble about refunding the fast lane passes either. Compared to Hershey that offered a voucher for next year and Kings Dominion and BGW who didn't even reply. Great customer service CP. Thank you for accommodating our situation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just makes my thousand dollar all season platinum FL+ all that more valuable. No complaints from me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Glad I bought FL+ ahead of time for my visit at the end of August. I figured there is absolutely no way it will get cheaper, and it is basically required since I'm going on a Saturday and Sunday. They really should either 1) raise the prices or 2) sell fewer passes, if their FL+ waits are still 30-45 minutes. I can see why that would be very frustrating for some.

I think the next US travel review for 21th August is only about the Canada and Mexico land border closures. International travel from overseas is definitely suspended with no new review date in sight. I guess Europeans can write off US travel for this and maybe for next year as well. And that's really weird as I just met an US family during my visit at EnergyLandia. They flew into Spain and did a nice road trip through different countries, riding all the big new European Coasters like Tomorrowland, Kondaa, Abyssus. I love Cedar Point customer service as well, they were extremely accommodating regarding my hotel and season pass refund, Kings Island was definitely not as easy.

coasterbill Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 If everyone wants them to sell less Fastlane passes and then this is how they're going to do it, manipulate the price to find that sweet-spot between revenue and guest satisfaction with the product.

thepoint4life23 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Thrillskeeker You can also look into a train. From what i know they have a train from near the airport to someplace in Sandusky. Part of the route might be Amtrak. I always think about how much a profit Fastlane is for the park. With the park as busy as it is and going in to the busier season. you might as well make as much money as you can. got to off set the new wage your paying workers.

I see them at 160 for a Tuesday in August. Kings Island is HALF the price. But, I know that CP is also more heavy on the bigger rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitterOldHag Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Kings island’s is half the price but twice as awesome. Longest I ever waited at KI in a FL+ queue was 25 minutes. On my last visit on Friday July 1, the longest I waited was 5 minutes. So seeing 45-60 minute FL+ waits at Cedar Point is a bit frustrating. Curious to see if people get turned off by the $225. Based on past price hikes, I think it will still sell very well. so glad I got season long FL+ as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriolat Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 To be honest, I think skip-the-line passes should be A LOT more expensive than they are now. They should be a premium service, not an alternative line. This way it's a win-win: park gets a significant revenue yet lines are not that affected because there will be fewer people buying them (of course, parks should really limit available units). I hate when parks basically give away those passes. You either make them completely free, like Disney's FP or Europa Park's return time for Voletarium or just don't bother at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown is the better option as the metro will get you there. However, there are only two Amtrak trains daily, and both are early early morning (dep CLE 3:00 & 3:45 AM WB and dep SKY 12:40 & 4:07 AM EB). Not a good option until Amtrak runs a daylight train on that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_s Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Yes the price varies per day. FL+ was $100 on 8/26/19, $80 with Platinum pass discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Hoping they bring back their ticket and FL+ combo deal this black Friday like they were doing every year pre-covid. The $76 they charged for that was an absolute steal. I would still buy it even if they hiked up the price significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It's doubtful we'll ever see the cost that low again, considering the current conversation. I wouldn't count on much anything to be as cheap as it was pre-covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitterOldHag Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I just noticed that maXair is not listed on Cedar Point's website. I would guess it won't be running this year at all, but that's just a hunch. Odd because in the 4 times I have visited Kings Island since last September, their Huss Giant Frisbee was running each time. Edit: my bad. It's the very last ride on the list. D'oh! Sorry about that. I'm willing to admit I was wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 ^ I don't think its run much if at all this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Just seems like a lot more downtime than usual on all the coasters at CP. Tony says there's an announcement later this afternoon at 430, I just hope it's not news reducing hours. It's probably just an announcement for a future announcement.
