Review of Cedar Point-Cedar Fair

Awesome amusement park!

Awesome amusement park!

Pros: Great rides, nice hotels, and food.

Cons: Long lines, expensive [i.e. food, drink, fast pass], awkward layout [hard to find certain rides and hotels were far away from entrance to the park].

Side Note 1: Make sure you buy tickets close to the day you're going and assure that there is no poor weather. This will shut down both the rides and the water park almost all day.

Side Note 2: DO NOT buy the souvenir cup which comes with free refills. Not only is it expensive [$16] but it also cannot be brought on rides. They will make you purchase a locker for each ride which is a minimum of $2 per ride.

Side Note 3: If you are going on a weekend or known busy day; **buy** a fast lane plus. You skip hours worth of lines and although it is expensive [between $90-$140 depending on the day] it is well worth it. Do not settle for the less expensive fast lane option as those rides you don't really need a fast lane given that the line for those rides are already generally short.

Side Note 4: Avoid the water/splash rides if you have a phone on your person or if you do not have a bathing suit on.

In conclusion, the park is like any amusement park but with much better and exhilarating rides, which is why I rated it so high given that this is what people come to an amusement park for anyways. I mean new or old, every ride makes it worth the money to go. Yes there are expensive items and long wait times but that is what is expected of every amusement park. I am definitely going to go again in the future and would without a doubt recommend this over Universal or Disney World.
