Cedar Point Mid-September...How Bad?

Use eBay to your advantage

That's a good way to get burned with bogus or otherwise invalid tickets. In the short time I worked admissions at a park, you wouldn't believe the number of people I had to turn away who had purchased stolen, forged or voided tickets off of Ebay or Craigslist. Just trying to give you a heads up.

Of course you need to be careful, but it's pretty easy to pick a legit seller. Professional sellers with a strong recent feedback history of successful tickets are usually safe. In the rare event one of these sellers scams you, you have eBay and Paypal buyer protection on your side.

Sundays

It kind of stinks if you want to do all the outdoor haunts since the park is not open late, but if you want to just ride and maybe do some indoor haunts it'll definitely make one happy.

Worth noting: the outdoor haunts at CP do open on the Sundays in October (the last 4 Sundays of the season). They've been doing that for a couple of years now.

Just changed my reservation. I will almost definitely (or is that "defiantly?") be at Kennywood on the 15th and CP on the 16th. Thanks for all the input and advice, guys. I reserve the right to change my mind yet again, if circumstances dictate.

You may already be aware, and I'm scanning thru to see if any of us mentioned it, but CP doesn't open til noon on Sunday. Season pass and resorts get in an hour early for select rides, of course.
One year we drove to the park on Sunday morning and just about died as we passed the various hotels (express included) and saw completely full parking lots. Turns out, all those folks must've been there til midnight on Saturday and were sleeping in then packing up to leave. The park was great that day, you've made a wise choice.
Have a blast.

Yep, RCMAC..I did know that. Thanks. That's why I'll be able to go to Mass in Sharon, PA, make the drive, and probably make it by 12 with a few minutes to spare. I won't check into my motel until after park closing. Can I get in early even though my Platinum Pass is from another park?

I HOPE it was a wise choice, I've been wrestling with it. But that seems to be the general consensus.

Anyone feels like meeting up that Sunday, PM me.

Platinum pass gets you in early and you will get many, many rides in that first hour.

Thinking of going to the park this weekend if the weather holds out. Does anyone know if they do that unlimited refill wristband a la carte, or do you have to buy it with the full price ticket dealy-o? I couldn't find any info on the website.

I'm pretty sure the drink wrist bands can be purchased separately. Also, if you have a season pass, 32oz soft drinks are $1 this coming weekend.
