Going to Cedar Point this weekend, Tips/Advice?

Question

It's going to be 3 families total with 8 Adults, 1 teenager, 1 p*****n, and 2 children. It will be from Friday to Sunday, any suggestions to make our trip more enjoyable?

Answer 1

smallest to biggest roller coaster

Answer 2

have u heard of kalahari?

or castaway bay?

they r indoor waterparks and r very nice, castaway bay isnt as crowded and there is a hotel and a tgi fridays attached 2 it

it is right at the main entrance road 2 cedar point

i have season  passes 2 cedar point and i have been there 6 times this year

i very good tip is that u want 2 like run 2 the rides like top thrill dragster or millenium force or maverick because anyone who is staying there in those hotels or have season passes like me can get into the park and on the rides an hour b4 everyone else

and btw u might want 2 bring a backpack with snacks and drinks because it is very expensive 4 everything there

there is a mall over by the great wolf lodge 2 which is the smallest indoor waterpark

i would avoid watsing ur time waiting 4 top thirll though because it is only 17 seconds long and u can get the same thrill in maverick and millenuim

raptor is an amzing ride, go 4 that one in the dark and its just wow

there r picnic areas there 2

sorry im just tryin 2 help

Answer 3

RIDE THE MAVERICK EIGHT TIMES...

Omg. =D

And the Millenium Force.

Make sure you take the sky ride back and forth so you save time and energy...

If you get into a big line, take the single line to go faster.

Make sure you pack food. Food at CP is expensiveee.

Park in like 28, it's close and whatnot...

Umm, thats about all.

Sandusky's huge, I suggest eating outside of the park.

Answer 4

Save the popular coasters (Top Thrill Dragster, Maverick) for the very last stops of the night if possible.  As for eating, there is a good pizza buffet right by CP but there are* plenty of options just inside Sandusky. :)

Answer 5

dont get mad at the pushers yhere everywhere

Answer 6

Personally I would suggest packing your own lunches and going out into the car to eat them.

1. Wear flip flops, that way if you go on a water ride your sneakers don't get wet, and if it's hot your feet won't be sweaty.

2. Go on the big rides at 12:00pm and 6:00pm or at closing when everyones eating or leaving.

3. Bring a plastic bag or ziplock to put your things in if you go on the water rides.

4. Bring cell phones!

5. Make sure you have a ton of water.

6. Bring bathing suits and towels, wet clothes from the water rides stink!

Answer 7

- If anyone in your group wants to ride Millenium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, or Maverick, ride those rides as soon as you enter the park or late at night (before the park closes).  Those rides have the longest rides and by going in the morning/night, you will save time and will be able to ride more rides.

- I'm not sure how old the children are, but if you have young children who cannot ride the roller coasters, have one of the adults (if there is one) who doesn't like to ride roller coasters take them to Planet Snoopy so the children can ride rides and have fun as well.  

- For meals, there are places at Cedar Point that can accomodate eight people.  You can go to a counter-service place and sit at picnic tables, or there is a buffet-place (maybe called "The Market Place", I'm not sure), Macaronis, and Johnny Rockets.  Since you will be there for multiple days, you could leave the park and eat outside of the park.  Below is a list of restaurants in Sandusky (not the complete list, but many):

Danny Boys (Italian food)

Applebees

Outback Steakhouse

Olive Garden

Buffalo Wild Wings

Taco Bell

Fazoli's

Olive Garden

Panera Bread

Bob Evans

Max and Erma's

Wendy's

Subway

Cracker Barrel

Ruby Tuesday's

Red Lobster

Pizza Hut

East of Chicago

McDonalds

Burger King

Damons

Roadhouse (Brown Derby)

TGI Fridays

- One way to save money on food is to pack a lunch and eat it in the picnic pavilion (just outside the park gates).  You can stop at a grocery store in Sandusky (Wal-Mart, Meijer, Kroger, etc.) and get food and put it in a cooler with ice.  This will save you a lot of money!  The only warning I have is that in a small number of cases, families have gone to the picnic pavilion to find their cooler, food, or both missing because someone stole it because there is no one watching the coolers.  BUT, this doesn't happen very often at all.

- Make sure you have well-broken in shoes because you will be doing a lot of walking.  If you plan on riding water rides and can't stand to wear wet clothes, you will want to bring an extra set of clothes and flip-flops (to where on the ride) because you will get wet (90% chance)!  

- Make sure you drink plenty of fluids so you don't become dehydrated and ill.  That can ruin a day very quickly, especially if you pass out or something.  Being sick before you ride a ride will only get worse after riding the ride.  

- Make sure you wear sunscreen or you will look like a lobster the next day.  There have been countless times when I decided to not wear sunscreen because I wanted to work on my tan, but the following day I was in pain!

Most of all, just have a lot of fun because the park is the best amusement park in the country!
