CP in One Day

[PalmTree55]

I need help in planning this. I will be visiting on Thursday, May 30th and I want to know what rides I need to hit first, places to eat, etc.. Is it possible to hit in one day? Also, will it be crowded, and will I need to buy Fast Lane Plus?

 

Thanks,

Palmer

If you want to have a nice day at Cedar Point and ride ALL the coasters as well as some of the big flats, you simply MUST get the Fast Lane Plus. You also have to hope for good weather. Cedar Point is notorious for crazy weather, and they will close lots of stuff in rain, storms, or dark skies.

Since you're going on a Thursday in late May, the crowds might be OK, but with Gatekeeper opening and considering that's after Memorial Day Weekend, it's entirely possible it'll still be crowded. However, I don't think you'll have terrible waits for anything other than Gatekeeper, MF, Maverick, and TTD.

 

If I were you, I would park in the back of the park by Soak City and go in through the entrance by Magnum. Most people don't do this, and you can pick off a lot of the rides in the back of the park before a majority of the crowds get there (especially with a big new coaster opening at the front of the park). Avoid the main midway and the front of the park until the middle of the day. Every time a new coaster opens there, it changes the way the crowds move through the park, so it's tough to predict what it's going to be like now, but definitely stick to the back of the park first.
