Cedar Point makes some room.

It had been about 7 to 8 years since I had last made the trip there. I gave up trying to ride Top Fuel Dragster...every time I went, it broke down all day. After 3 times I just gave up.

And of course, this last time I was 75% through the line...and it breaks down. I told my kids I wasn't moving...and thankfully it started back up after an hour.

Wasn't worth the wait if you ask me.

There are still one or two newer rides I haven't been on yet. I'm just too old at this point to sit in a line for 2 to 2.5 hours.

Been up the last 2 years with my daughter. She likes the big coasters but is still afraid of them so we havn't been on a few yet (Top Thrill, Millennium, Maverick). Ofcourse it doesnt help we went on a weekend last time and the lines were 2+hrs for the big ones.

I guess next time I will just have to pay up for the Fast Lane :(

That more than doubles the price of a visit. :cry:

My boys took me for my birthday, and they love to ride everything....I just can't sit in a line for 2 hours anymore, unless I was properly entertained. And even then...doubtful.

I scored a $25 ticket via Fatwallet which made the trip cheaper for me. I looked into the Fast Lane and nearly sh!t my pants at the cost. But...I'd consider if it I could get a good discount on the entrance cost.

I went on a Sunday, and it wasn't too crowded. If I go back next year, I'm going to try and make it during the week.

I am trying to go this weekend for the start of halloweeknds. It's not to too hot or too cold and most of the crowds are gone.

That's a good time to go. You can usually get off and on some of the big rides pretty easily. One of my boys is headed there this Saturday. If I didn't have grown up stuff to do I'd join him.

Go on a tuesday, wednesday or thursday, especially if it looks like rain. No lines for anything. The Dragster, that lousy maverick and milenium force took about 1/2 hour, everything else we walked right on.

This is what I used to do - I had season passes for two years. Even if there is some rain, as long as it's not a monsoon, you can still have fun - the only close the big stuff - Millennium and Top Thrill if I remember correctly.

That ride is so ridiculous. I stood in line for about and hour and a half, then it broke down, I stood there for another hour, then we moved and I was 2 people away from a front seat ride, and it started raining, so I stood for another hour. Finally got on, and the car didn't make it over the top, so we came flying backwards towards the station so fast I couldn't hold my head up lol. It turns out that the car not making it over the top is actually pretty awesome, you get to ride it twice.

I had the same thing happen to me and I have to agree it was a pretty awesome ride.
