Ways to save money on a trip (Cedar Point Specifically)

[Snowyowl1028]

I have a trip planned to CP with one other person. The park related expenses so far are on each of the two days we get the fast lane plus admission ticket ($115) and also the food. We are staying in a cheap hotel in sandusky. We are also paying for parking. With all those expenses is there a way to reduce the cost? (stuff like coupons, special deals, or special days) Fast lane plus is necessary.

Pack a cooler/picnic! If you're like me and you may or may not enjoy a few beers with your amusement park experience and prefer not to spend too much $, this is an excellent choice. As long as you pack it right, even a hot car is no match for your cooler. I can neither confirm nor deny drinking beers/eating sandwiches & potato salad in the parking lot.

I would suggest checking out the Cedar Point meal deals, and drink packages.I myself have never used them, but they might be something of interest for you. If you buy them online in advanced they are actually pretty reasonably priced compared to what they are in the park.

 

If that is not something you want to do, the above mentioned cooler in the car idea is really a good idea!
