Cedar Point Park Tips

[GLADIATOR]

We are planning a trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park in June and are looking for some tips from someone that has gone there before. We are buying our tickets now to get a discount but we are on the fence with the food ticket. Looks like you can get something every 90 minutes and can get away with one pass and just share all day? Four of us are going.

When we go to Great America in Gurnee we always go out and eat at the fast food restaurants nearby.

Just looking for some tips to save money on food and hotels...because broke dick.

I was at cedar point around the Fourth of July, we did not get the food tickets as the restaurants they have are decent prices.

Inside the park they had a chick fil a ( closed Sunday ), a decent burger place, Johnny rockets, starbucks and then your normal hot dog, popcorn place, ice cream etc...The park also has a TGI Friday’s, Perkins , a habachi Grill place and a cafe / bar located in the hotel.

Bring a cooler full of food and leave it in the car

how many days you planning to go? We try for 2 full days, both days from open to close. Never got the food tickets, we just eat a big breakfast before going. Hit up Johnny Rockets for a burger and shake.

I'm hoping to go again this year too. Cedar Point doesn't even compare to Great America, its awesome.

Also if you get there right at open, go to the back of the park, far away from the entrance and work your way forward.

Planning on two full days. Thanks for the tips guys!

Enjoy Juan

Last time we went I got the fast pass or whatever they call it. Was great considering it was like 1000 degrees outside.

I would bring a bunch of food with. I remember we left once to go eat outside the park, it took about 30 mins just to get outside the park. The surrounding area is the best neighborhood as well, wasn't much food options.

If I had to do it over again, I would have rented a RV and camped there prob a ton cheaper then the hotel and you could setup a grill outside.

Just got back from a two day trip. Rollercoasters were bad ass mofos. Gurnee six flags roller coasters don’t even compare to Cedar Point coasters. Food sucked, you are forced to eat there. Other than that would recommend! Not for young kids though, they have a section for them but it’s all about the rollercoasters.

Any weight limits? Hard to fit in any rides? Did they have modified seating?

we're going late summer in September right after school starts. Cant wait. I just laugh whenever someone raves about six flags . No comparison at all.

That's how I feel with Disney and Universal vs 6flags

I was pulled aside a few times while at Universal Orlando (Harry Potter rides) mainly due to upper body size. I made it on everything but it was embarrassing as hell for the wifey.

I noticed they just flat out denied obese, or extreme height people, didn't even test them.

This was for the 3D/4D rides and the dueling dragons coaster.

I fit on all the HP rides, they all have modified seating. Dualing dragons was tight as hell but still always got on. Mummy is borderline for me, it straps around your thighs. It takes the gf and a worker to get mine to click in.

We have every ride down pat though. Some I sit and she jams me in and some she sits and I lock her in. Then some we need help. Lolol

Hulk I lose whatever shorts I'm in. Lost 3 pairs to that ride. Split right in half

went to Cedar Point on Saturday from open to close, 11a-midnight. For next year we may look into buying fast pass if we can find deals. Its very tempting but its $$$. For being there 13 hours we rode 9 rides, but at least we got on all the newest coasters. Steel Vengence, Gatekeeper, Maverick and Valravn. Longest line was 140 mins.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Oh they got some new rides huh?????

Gonna have to plan a next year trip

 

[radioguy6]

a few were built in recent years, newest is Steel Vengence built in 2018

 

[GLADIATOR]

Steel Vengeance is the baddest mofo rollercoaster in the world. It’s like six flags’ Goliath to the 5 th power.

 

[radioguy6]

That was the longest wait but one of my favorite rides. They were quite serious with the cell phone ban for that ride only, I bet a few have fallen out of pockets on people waiting in line below.

Disney is a fucking joke. Hundreds of dollars to wait in line and more money down the tube for shitty food. Universal Orlando/Islands of Adventure blows Hollywood away. I actually like Six Flags. The one outside LA has an amazing wooden/steel coaster that I could ride 30x a day. In Gurnee, my favorite is Raging Bull
