Hello, this is CP Veteran giving the visitors to Trip Advisor and reading reviews and considering Cedar Point as a vacation spot PLEASE read this review and see if it is a fit for you, because if it is then you MUST visit!!!
I have been visiting the Park for 32 years now. I rode my first Coaster there (Mine Ride in 1976) and latest ride there (Maverick in 2008). I lived in Ohio for 35 years and just recently put up roots in Tampa (and @ Busch Gardens, see that review) - but since I was in Ohio for a visit I HAD to go to Cedar Point. You will have a GREAT VISIT if you FOLLOW THESE TIPS:
1. DO NOT GO OPENING WEEKEND, HOLIDAYS, (ESP. JULY 4th, OR LABOR DAY). The park is just too crowded and rides are weak and may break, lots of afternoon t-storms, ect.. The best times to visit are during the week in May(except opening weekend) or late August.
2. If you are traveling from out of town, plan to stay at least 3 or 4 days to enjoy everything. There are a lot of great vacation packages for this, there is a water park and live shows and tons to do, plan for a few days to get it all in, like Las Vegas(see that review).
3. Save some money, PARKING and EATING costs a lot, so pack a picnic lunch and eat at the famous picnic pavillion (can't do that @ Busch Gardens), and stay at one of the Hotels which is a walk away.
4. DO EAT while you are at the Park some FAMOUS CEDAR POINT FRENCH FRIES and FRIED CHEESE at the "Happy Friar" stand across from Gemini, the best fries in the world.
5. VISIT the BACK of the park in the MORNING and the FRONT of the Park in the AFTERNOON, the crowds tend to stay up front at open and migrate their way back throughout the day, stay away from the traffic flow.
6. Watch FIREWORKS and afterward RUN to the Magnum for a great late-night no wait ride!!!
Classic Cedar Point tips from a true veteran who has been there seen it all I DO MISS WHITE WATER LANDING and MILL RACE they always have to tear down one ride to put in another the space for Coasters is tight but HAVE FUN you won't be disappointed. VISIT the WEBSITE and PLAN before you go there are GREAT TIPS there too!!!
