mimic2g Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 When is the best time to go to cedar point besides not the middle of summer? How is the first few weeks of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality15 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The first few weeks of the season are great, especially during weekdays. Other good times to go are Bonus Weekends in September, or Fridays/Sundays during Halloweekends. Make sure to stop by and say "Hi!" to me on Maverick!

mimic2g Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 That works out perfectly since our kids don't like trying coasters. Now I can say, "But you guys will still be in school, sorry" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyBrewer Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The best time to go is when it's not busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogarthOK Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 We went on the weekend of September 20th last year. The weather was a little rainy at times, and kind of cold, and as such, crowds were light during daylight hours. A little worse at night, but still a fraction of peak summer crowds. Weekdays during May and early June are pretty light, too, but there are some organized school trips which will make for *some* lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Yeah, I worked there in 2005 so I really got a feel for the crowd trends. The first couple weeks they are open in May is definitely the best time I saw. Go through a week day and you won't have any trouble hitting every ride you want to and getting quite a few re-rides. Often times, MF was a walk on toward the end of the day and TTD never had a line longer than 30 minutes. The weekends still get fairly busy though and the closer you get to Memorial Day, the busier it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorBoyASU Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Weekdays through early June. Sundays during the rest of the year. Oh, and Memorial Day itself (not the Sat or Sunday before it though) was almost always very light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shesaidboom Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I've gone in May, early June, the end of August [all on weekdays] and September [on a weekend]. The only time it was actually pretty busy was in June because of the mass amount of schools visiting. We were expecting it to be crowded in August, but a lot of things were walk-ons, and the only lines that were more than 10 minutes were for Millenium Force and TTD.

BroodNV Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 We went the week before Labor day 2 years ago sunday through tuesday and the whole time most everything was a walk on. Weather was beautiful and no rain at all. Only things that really had any wait were Millenium Force and Dragster and each were about a 20 min wait.

Milkchan Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Best go on the weekdays anytime during spring/summer/and fall, except on Fridays. One thing I'm not sure if the park is going to be very crowded this year because of the new coaster (MAVERICK!!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesdude Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'd recommend weekdays in May before Memorial Day or Monday-Thursday until June, I've had the best luck. Last years Coastermania fell on Friday, June 2 and crowds were relatively light. End of June it picks up but still better than July. Also, the last week in August was traditionally lighter crowds, but that wasn't the case last year. Finally, I'm sure Maverick will bring a ton of extra people to the park. The buzz at my school (almost 6000 kids) is decent and is sure to bring in a few extra people that wouldn't normally show up. It'll probably be bad for the first weekend/week because of Maverick, but I'm sure it'll slow a bit before Memorial Day. -nesdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
