I have more than 3.5 credits planned but it’s saying there’s only 3.5 in my plan? Can anyone help with this? It’s happening for the winter term too.

This was my first visit to Cedar Point ever coming from Toronto. I booked the trip over 19/06 not thinking about Juneteenth (because it’s not recognized in Canada) so I was really worried about the crowds, especially because wonderland can get REALLY busy on similar holidays

My Goal for the day was to get on Steel Vengeance and TT2…..

I got on every coaster in the park, and had some awesome experiences along the way.

Customer Service: STANDOUT. We paid for parking on 18/06 because it’s about 50$ Canadian at Canadas wonderland, we didn’t know it came with our seasons pass until Friday. The woman at the gate informed us and suggested we try and get a refund for the previous day. At Wonderland, this would’ve been a fight and an hour wait. Here, we walked right in and the woman at guest services was shocked that we had to pay for parking at our homepark! This was such a pleasant surprise and we got refunded for the previous day.

I had FLP, and waited about an hour for maverick. was my first time on Maverick (incredible btw), and as I was getting off, the gate broke in my row for the next group coming on. Instead of sending an empty row, I heard the best 6 words I’ve heard at a theme park. “Do you want to go again?”. This MADE MY DAY. At wonderland, they would’ve sent it empty. After this, the ride went down for the rest of the day. I felt like the luckiest person In the park.

The food: so much better than wonderland. No contest. If there’s anything Americans know how to do, it’s make a good chicken tender. The BBQ was Incredible too, and a really similar price to wonderland.

Wait times: since it was a holiday, fast lane was often full for the bigger rides, but the less popular ones were a walk on (Rougarou, Raptor, Corkscrew, blue streak, valraven). The only time I was “upset” about waiting was my second lap of TT2 around 8pm where I was moving slower than the standby line. Otherwise FLP got me on every single ride in the park before 8pm.

The wait times were very inaccurate, if you have fast lane on a day like this, DOUBLE whatever it says in the app. Fast lane was sometimes lined up around the ride, especially on maverick

Everyone was so kind. I was talking to a bunch of people around me in every line and I didn’t meet a SINGLE person actually from Ohio. If you want to meet other enthusiasts, this is the place. Operations seemed like they wanted to be there and were having fun (unlike wonderland). Crazy fast, too!

Bag situation: this is my only complaint about the park as a whole. Wonderland has these cubby systems that connect to the lift hill of rides, getting pulled above the station and into the exit. Here, the free lockers are great, but I HATE how you need to bring your fanny packs onto rides like Gatekeeper and Valravn. I’m so accustomed to B&M dives and inverts being no loose articles. Kinda ruined the experience because I was always gripping my bag. Seems hypocritical as well that you get wanded down on rides like Steel Vengeance, but have to bring everything on other rides. But that’s just because I’m paranoid of loosing my stuff, I should’ve just bought a locker in hindsight, but wonderland has both the cubbies and paid lockers.

Overall, this park truly felt like a vacation destination. Definitely a different vibe from wonderland. This trip made me realize how poorly designed and overcrowded wonderland is. I was so happy I was able to get on every single coaster in the park In 10 hours. I got really lucky getting on maverick twice, and I can’t wait to come back. If this is your home park, know how lucky you are, and try and make it to alpenfury sometime!

Also, I didn’t stay in a cedar point hotel, so this was without ERT!!

Thanks for reading! Steel Vengeance is PERFECTION!! Sorry for any spelling errors
