New Perk for staying ON CP!

http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/trips/resorts/benefits.cfm

says that if you stay at one of their resorts, you will be let in the park 1/2 hour before the general public! Now a question, what's the cheapest hotel that Cedar Point has cause I was checking rates at Hotel Breakers and they are pretty steep if you plan on getting two rooms (we'll need to do that.) You also get discounted tickets, which I guess is not new. How much do you think you could do in 1/2 hour? Just thought I'd tell you because I haven't seen it posted anywhere. If it has been posted, I apologize.

Milwaukee Wisconsin, we bring you beer, brats and cheese. But don't be fooled, "Milwaukee truly is a special secret getaway that I will be sure to tell my friends about!" Erin Brockevich, not to mention that we are an hour from SFGAm........

Even a 30-minute head start to avoid the "Running of the bulls" would at least get you on one of your top requested coasters. Wondering if that offer applies to their RV park?? If so, that's a *super* deal.

You get into the park a 1/2 hour early, but WT and MF arre the only rides open. I think The Breakers Express is the cheapest one I think.

I'm planning on taking advantage of that this summer when I visit for my first time. ;)

Robert, if I am reading it correctly, it does include the "Camper Village" My question however is how much does it cost to stay the night at the campground? Because I like to camp, and i am sure it would be cheaper than a hotel.

I HATE SNOW!!! I am boycotting snow, I refuse to have fun in it.

It should also be noted that getting in a half hour early is also a perk of being in the Joe Cool Club so if you have a Cedar Point season pass and are not a member of the Joe Cool Club yet, you could upgrade and take advantage of this offer.

I plan to do that this year. It will be great to have one ride on Millennium Force down before the park even opens!

ALF, just be aware that the "Camper Village" is just that. It's for camper vehicles only -- no primitive/tent camping is allowed.

Whats the joe cool club? Also, are the people going to be able to ride or just get a nice spot in line. If you can ride does anyone think you could get to WT ride it and then get in line for MF before it opened

Joe Cool Club is for Season Pass Holders. For an upgrade of $15 (per person) you can join and get extra perks and discounts. Check the CP website for exact info.

Breakers Express is the cheapest CP hotel, located at the entrance to the causeway. Depending on the number of people heading in early, it's POSSIBLE to ride WT first then hotfoot it over to MF. But since the early entrance is open to all JC Season Pass members and all hotel guests, I have my doubts both are possible in 30 minutes.

Does it state that the rides will open a half-hour early too? Until last year, CP used to open the gates either a half-hour or a full hour before the rides started. It gave you time to enter and head towards your coaster of choice.

I'm fairly sure that the perk means that you will have that half-hour to go line up at your first ride of the day. Either way, it means you won't have to haul over to the Marina Entrance to make sure you're on the first Force train with passengers that day.

EDIT -- Just read it, sure enough, it seems as if both of the rides will be open that early. Nice perk indeed.

It should be noted that Joe Cool Members can only enter early from Opening Day through June 30, and from August 19 through the end of the season. Still... thats pretty darn good!

Paris, Yes Cedar Point used to open their gates early, and they will again this year. The time the gates open depends on the time the park opens and the dat of the week. For example on May 5, Opening Day, the park hours are 10 AM - 8PM and the gates open to the public at 9:30 AM. Like lasy year at 9:30 you could enter the park, but no rides were running yet. I *belive* that would mean Joe Cool members would get in at 9, but I am not 100% sure.

Beast_rocks, People will be able to ride, not just get in line. It's quite nice, the days they did it last year I got 4 laps in on the Force each ERT session.

No offence to anyone, but I posted this months ago! Sounds like a great plan though. I'm planning on staying at Breakers Express again this year...it's a great hotel.
