Bought Fast pass Plus bc I travel long distance to get here: Weather was hottish for Sept seemed like, which maybe brought everyone out. First of all Maverick down all weekend. Fri 9/20 Not bad with FP+. SV line maxed out half full. Saturday opened with almost nothing running during the extra hour. We were there 1 hour and rode Skyhawk :(. I think Dragster opened sometime in the afternoon, with 2 blocked seats. We managed one long wait for front row before it went down again for the night. We took a 3pm afternoon break offsite bc the heat and the lines were brutal. The parking lot was full out to the gate, and I was wondering where’d we’ll park coming back…it was the very back at the back of the park.
SV FP line was out to the entrance when I checked at 8pm. This was my 8th weekend/holiday visit and the crowds were most insane this time. Oddly there didn’t seem to be excess Fastpass wristbands like on labor day, even though they were the same top price. I guess way more locals refusing to pay 4 times admission price. After 11pm it was decent again, and we and 4 other people ended at midnight on Skyhawk’s last run of the night.

Pleasant day. Wasn’t with a fanatic, so we didn’t wait 90+ minutes for Steel Vengeance, but everything else was manageable. Longest we waited was 45 min for Maverick, which is always 45 minutes anyway. 20 minutes for Millennium Force. Nearly walk-on for Gatekeeper, Rougarou, Gemini, Magnum. About 15 minutes for Blue Streak. Food lines looked short, too. Overall, got a surprising amount in for accidentally oversleeping and getting to the park a little after 1. Oh yeah, Dragster was down, but I never get my hopes up for that.
I honestly don’t know what is wrong with people. “Cedar Point is terrible because there are lines!” Like it is some new thing. I waited 2 hours for Mean Streak. 2 hours for Disaster Transport. Back when there were less than 10 coasters, you had to wait 2 hours for everything. I have never waited longer for Steel Vengeance than I waited for Mean Streak back in the day, and I didn’t even LIKE Mean Streak. We have an awesome park with tons of world-class roller coasters and people freak out that, gee, maybe people go to the park. I don’t like waiting in lines, but I don’t blame the park for doing something wrong. I’m just not going to go on a Saturday in July.
Also, I have never encountered a rude worker, but maybe that’s because I’m not rude first. I’ve seen plenty of guests berating workers because they insist their precious baby is 48″ when she is clearly not even 45″. And what do you want the person at the parking booth to say when you chew them out for the park being crowded?
I love Cedar Point. I bought the Wild Card early this year and for the first time, I have a Season Pass with the Gold Card. I have been to Cedar Point more this year than I have ever been in one year in the past.

OK in the morning on Saturday, 9/14, a small window of opportunity to get some rides done (about an hour from 11-12) and then packed the rest of the day. Good weather + Halloween festivities didn’t help. Probably best to just avoid Saturdays if it all possible. FWIW this day was forecast to be “Hey its alright” on the CC but ended up being a YIP kind of day.

Unacceptable. Busiest I’ve ever seen in 30 years of coming. Sad because I brought two friends who’ve never been. Poor first experience. I’m a Platinum Pass holder. Not impressed with the the Gold Pass flood.

Insanely busy right now. Two hour wait times?!?!? Ridiculous. Part of the problem lies in not having all rides operable or running one train per cycle. Unacceptable. Platinum Pass holder. Not impressed.

These gold passes are flooding the park and making the waits longer than ever. After years of having platinum pass I am really reconsidering renewing. If this is the trend we are done.

Very busy , busiet I have ever seen. Waited 45 on the causeway just to pay for parking. Parking lot was so full people got in arguments with the attendant who then told them, “Then dont come to Cedar Point.” It will be like this now that everyone bought the Gold pass….I am so dissatisfied

Very long lines today. Even in with the FL+. 45 minutes on Maverick and 45 minutes on Millenium Force. 1 hour wait for steel vengeance. All with fast lane.

Check the Crowd Calendar to see when Fast Lane is worth buying ("Yup, It's Packed" or "Forget About It" days)
