Three days! Then you have time to ride the roller coasters over and over. Besides I heard in July it a lttle more busier. I don't know if thats true though because I always go in mid June.

btw you can ask all ur CP questions in one thread for future reference!

I was hoping to do a day and a half, last week of August. Are the local kids back in school the week before labor day? Any idea how crowded it will be Wed (27th) and Thurs (28th), historically speaking?

Mid-week days like that are typically less crowded, but remember the park is only open unil 8pm those days. The crowds will be similar to early-June, so it wouldn't be too bad, really.

How many days to spend at the park? Well, it always depends on when you go. I'd recommend at least 2 days, which means you'll definately get on all the coasters and other major and signature rides, plus have time for a few rerides and a show or two, possibly. If you're going more midsummer (July - mid-August) you'd probably want 3 days, because the crowds are a lot heavier. Very early in the season (Early May - beginning of June) you can potentially do the whole park in one day, especially if you skip some smaller attractions (Woodstock Express, non-coaster rides, shows).

Whatever you do, have fun!

What kind of lines should I expect on Sun Mon and Tues, on the first week of August? Also How long will the wait be for TTD?

The first week of August will still be very crowded -- expect 1 1/2 hours for Raptor, Magnum, etc.; you will probably want to pick up a couple of the Freeway passes. Doing different ones each day would certainly help you be sure to get all of them. As for Top Thrill Dragster, I'd say well over 3 hours or so, depending on the downtime for the coaster. Have fun!

Nest year I'm thinking of taking off a week of May off from school to go to Cedar Point. Would I get shorter lines if I went around the middle or end of May than I would if I went in the middle of June??? Also, is the temperature cooler or is it about the same? I am already planning my trip for next year, I am just getting as much info as I can because I have never gone that early in the season.

yes it would be better to go then! The lines arent as long and it isnt nearly as hot! Tempurater can be around 55-60 and night, but in the day it heats up to 60-75! Its the perfect time to go! But remember to bring a wind jacket jsut in case!!!!!!!!

I would spend at least 2 days. There's no way to ride everything at the park unless you skip TTD. Thats a 3-4 hours wait itself.

Everything could be done in 2 days. I personally rode every coaster, excluding TTD, front row all in one day in August. But the thing is, I never stopped to eat or sit-down or play any games. If you put all that into your trip, then you're going to need a day and a half, and if you want to ride TTD, you'll need a minimum of 2 days. If you can get a 3rd, go for it, you can never spend too much time at the park. And if by some rare chance you get sick of it, you can always go to the waterpark.

In mid-May or early June, the temperature will be lower and there is a greater chance of all-day rain or winds closing certain rides. I'd highly recommend going at that time, though, because the lines will be fairly non-existant compared to later in the season, and the weather is more comfortable, in my opinion. Enjoy!

If you want to go cheap, I'm usually ok with this Days Inn. But if you want to go more expensive, you could try Breakers, Sand Castle, or anything inside of Cedar Point.

At Breakers you can get a cheap room for i think $140...you will be able to walk to your room/to the park, and you will get to ride early. Once your inline at night, they won't take you outta the line.

asked this before, but, longest waits for CP on August 7 (thursday)? I am only going one day, but we get ERT so we will be in the park for 14 hours.

Whatever you do, ride MF, Magnum, and Raptor in the front.
