The ULTIMATE Guide To Cedar Point 2021 - Part 1 Winning Early
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- Cedar Point is considered by many as one of the best amusement parks in the world. Over the last few years I've made 11 trips to this park. It has one of the best roller coaster collections in the world and its such a beautiful park. My goal here was to make an ultimate guide to help you with your trip. This guide will come in 2 parts. This is part 1 and it will focus on winning early. I truly believe that winning early in the day is the key to Cedar Point. Its important to remember that ride closures and crowds can affect the things I talk about it this video so pay close attention to that stuff and just use this as a helpful guide for your plans when visiting. I've tried a few different paths when entering the park and I just wanted to share what has worked best for me in the past. Also don't forget to check before your trip to see if your going to need a reservation for the park in order to enter. The rides that are most important for me may not be what's most important for you so make a list of what you want to accomplish and come up with a great plan.
Thanks so much for watching!
This dude saved me literal hours at Dollywood with his guide and now he's going to make my Cedar Point trip perfect. Best guides on RUclips.
Thanks so much!!!!
Same with me too it was a game changer
.....bruh if you need a guide to Dollywood then I don’t know what to tell you. ....maybe I think like that because it’s my home park.
"Traveling to theme parks and staying in hotels is kinda what I do"
You're a lucky man
i love when i read the comment while listening to that part in the video
As someone that’s going to be visiting for the first time this year I find this so helpful!
@Gabrielle Chouinard its amazing ive went the past 3 years
@Gabrielle Chouinard I hope you have an amazing time! I’ve been going with my family for the past 6 years, and we always have a wonderful time in the parks.
Same! will be my first time traveling for a park... this one seems worth it lol.
SAME I’m very exited
You first timers are going to have the time of your life! Hope you,re coaster . Addicts
Please give us a part 2! It would be sooooo helpful!
When I see an OKAYCOASTERS video I immediately click on it. The intro and the voiceovers are all the way on point.
Gold star for you
Thanks for this vid I’m turning 13 and my dad said look at cedar point and do research. I took 30 minutes of my time in notes to share with my parents!
This is the best comment!!!! This shows gratitude!!!
For many of the RUclips videos that I play, I just listen to them in the background while I am working on chores or fun projects. However, when an Okaycoasters video is posted, I drop everything and give it my full attention. Your suggestions for early morning starts at Cedar Point are right on the money! I have often visited Cedar Point with friends who have autism. We follow a plan similar to yours in the morning, then pick up their Autism passes once the main gates open to the general public. Can’t wait for your next video!
Thank You so much! Means the world to me!
Stayed at lighthouse point for opening weekend this year. You are correct that they get early entry as well
Great! Thanks for letting us know that!!!
they changed it this year that you can only enter through the Magnum entrance if you're staying at hotel Breakers or lighthouse point otherwise you have to go to the main entrance
Yeah I know years past people have told me they could park in the back parking but when I saw the post about having to get the pass from the front desk I was pretty sure they were changing it up
What about Cedar Point Shores? That’s one hell of a long walk from the main entrance to get there.
@@RY30DM you can still park in the cedar point shores parking lot
Back in the day I used to park at CP Shores and use Magnum gate for "Running of the Bulls" towards Maverick and SV. Then they got smart and not let us park in the back unless we had hotel rooms. No problem, I just walk on the Boardwalk to the Magnum entrance. Now this year they take that option away as well.
Real glad we upgraded from the express hotel to the breakers then! I wasn’t gonna be too happy walking a mile to Frontier Town, probably wasting a good 30 minutes I could use riding Millenium and Maverick and waiting for Sv 😂
I’ll never be able to go to cedar point and I’m still watching this
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help me prepare for my trip late summer. Thank you
Made my first trip to Cedar Point last week - this video quite literally doubled what I could accomplish in a single day. Love this series and hope you keep making them!
Cedar Point "The Winning Formula" is still your "Thriller" Masterpiece and just like Michael Jackson you'll be trying to live up to yourself for the rest of your RUclips career. I still give this video a thumbs up.
Saving this vid for my cp trip this summer! Love these guides! Keep em coming!!!
Most underrated coaster channel, thank you for this, going next summer I can’t wait! Keep the vids coming!
I’m going to cedar point soon and I’m very excited! this video was very helpful as I’m going for the first time. Great video, keep up the good work!
Sir, great video! As a child I spent every summer at least twice at Cedar Point. I haven't been there since early 2000's, which is a (live in Maine now) travesty! My wife and I expect to visit in August, you have enlightened me to what thrills we'll be expecting. I've told her about CP and tend to never shut up about it. It's absolutely time to revisit my childhood playground! Looking forward to part deux!!
I just have to say the you are my favorite you tube channel and your videos are soooooo good so is your footage, your footage is some of the best I have ever seen!
Wow, thank you!
My son and I have had Platinum for many years. We have been to many Cedar Fair parks, in addition to some other independent operations, and these tips are on point. I can not stress the importance of getting up early. On a busy day you can do more in the first two hours than you can in the next six hours.
10:05 seems very precise! On day two of my last CP trip on day two I parked in the lot in front of Cedar Point Shores. Since I was going to the water park, it only made sense. And I knew I’d be heading back into the park later on, so it saved me a long walk back to Steel Vengeance and Maverick.
Dope vid. Looking forward to pt 2.
going in june! can’t wait! excellent vid as always!
Thanks! Hope you have a great trip
How was it? I hope u enjoyed it as much as I did!❤️
Wow this was really useful delivered in an amazing way
Seriously, you and Airtime Thrills are just killing the game right now! Great vid
Thank You! Yeah I’m really enjoying his videos on Magic Mountain right now along with the others
In April I booked 3 days at Cedar Point Hotel and Park for August 2021 with the family. I am glad I just crossed this video because I am about to take notes and make this a good experience.
Nice vid! Love Cedar Point!! You have provided accurate, and valuable info for repeat visitors, and newbies alike! I will be back there July 4th!!!
Here I am about a month away from my first visit to cedar point with my wife, and I’m anxiously waiting and hoping for part 2 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great info! I grew up in Ohio (lived there for 30 years) and we went to Cedar Point at least a couple times every summer. It was so different back then. No early access, fast lanes, passes, etc. But it was still so much fun and I miss it so much! This video brought back a lot of great memories!
Can't Wait for part 2
100% agree with all of these tips! Once again, excellent commentary and footage. Thank you!
Must be talking about going on a Saturday. Been 3 times this season (2021) and no crowds at all (Sun, Fri, and Thurs). Went today (Thursday) and walked on everything. Sunny 80 degree June weather. Got there leisurely at 1 and was done by 5. Love this park
I'm only half way through and I feel like I am learning so much! If you did a video like this for Kings Dominion, that would be awesome!
This Sunday can’t wait 😛
Ha! Us too!
Hope for a smooth day at the rockin roller coast 🤟🏻
What a day had over ten rides (thanks to fast pass of course) and you’re helpful tips about going straight to the back of the park managed to get 3 on steel vengeance and 2 on Maverick as well as just about one on everything else 🔥🤟🏻
Glad to hear you had a great day! Thanks for the comments
Literally so excited for my CP trip In 2 weeks thank u for another perfect upload
Have fun!
Can’t wait for part two
Awesome Guide! excited for part 2!
I'll be going to Cedar Point for the first time ever in May 2022 for my birthday. I'm SO excited! Thank you so much for sharing all this very useful information! Keep up the amazing videos! Enjoy your weekend! 😀
Thanks so much! Hope you have a great time on your trip. From my personal past experience Cedar Point seems to be better to visit either later into May or June. Unless something new opens I personally try and wait a few weekends after it opens before my first visit of the season.
I love how you worded it at the end with the fireworks on lake erie, something about it makes me want to be there so bad and have the whole place to myself
Im so glad Cedar Point is my home park. Casual days are so nice to have, sometimes.
Going in July and have a few visits under my belt. But I'll be going on a Saturday toward the end of the month, glad I watched this video for some helpful tips! Good secrets to know
This is like the "Disney Vacation Planning Video" for Cedar Point. Love it! Keep up the good work!
I’m going this Friday we should meet up
Man PLEASE upload Part 2 soon! Hopefully before the end of July since that's when my trip to Cedar Point is! Your videos are genius! :)
ayo same im going in the end of july
Going to cedar point this weekend and most of this should help me
First timer to the park and had to come back and say thank you okaycoasters for this guide! Cedar Point is a lot to take in, but we studied this video and managed to get on every ride in the park (and then some) in a day. A 13 hour day, but it was amazing! So much better than we anticipated and we'll be coming back again. Staying at Hotel Breakers was where the magic begins. Having the extra hour, the side entrance and the walk to the park was A++ We didn't want to go home!!
Thats Great! Thanks so much for sharing and glad to hear the trip went well!
Another great video!
Thank you for all of this info! I am going for the first time next weekend! Been waiting 20 some years for this so trying to do it as proper as possible.
Hope you have a great and safe trip!
How was it
Fantastic tips! I think we NEED to stay at Breakers. We’ll check out your Dollywood guide too!
Going next week for 3 days. Staying at the Breakers and really fortunate to have seen your video.
Thanks so much for making my visit last week to cp awesome! I followed most tips and I ended up having a near perfect day and rode everything!
That’s great! Thank you so much and glad you had a great visit!
Wow. This is a lot of excellent, useful, time saving information. Thanks.
May not be 2021 but i’m gonna use this for my trip next month. Thank you!
I just went, what a great time it was, I'll be waiting for part II
i’ve never clicked on a video so fast
i live an hour out from Cedar Point, my top tips are
1. hit the park on hot weekdays, noticeably less people around, drink passes are your best friend
2. if the rides down, its worth waiting 10-20 minutes, ive gotten 15 minute waits on steel and maverick just because I stuck around when it was down
3. if you are staying till close (which i do every visit) hit the ride you want to ride the most right at closing, my friends and I enter the queues for our top ride of the day right at closing, like millennium or steel at 10pm, most people by that point filter out for closing. the line wont feel as daunting since you no longer have a time crunch. plus you beat the traffic
4. when in doubt, hit rougarou its always walk on
Thanks again I am hoping I can make it to cedar point for the first time this year have never been but been waiting to go to this park
excellent video! excellent tips! my friend, and I'm sharing with other people, and I agree staying at the Breakers (which I have with my two teenage Sons a few years ago) with a 2-day pass three-day visit was a lifetime memorable experience.
Thanks for sharing!!
I'm going to cedar point tomorrow I'm so excited
I’m headed to the park next Friday, fingers crossed that Part 2 comes out before then!!! 😍
👏🏽 fantastic! Thanks for the tips!
Great stuff I’m going next May and will be committing this to memory
been to CP at least 100 times starting in 1976. This is a pretty good list of ideas for getting the most out of the park
I’m going to cedar point tomorrow for my 17th birthday and this was really helpful thank you ❤️
Another Gem 💎😏👊
I went to Cedar Point for the first time as an enthusiast the day before you uploaded this! I'll use your tips on my next visit later this summer!
How did ur visit go? Were you able to do everything?
@@IronForceGaming1 I rode everything once except Millenium, Dragster, Wicked Twister, Valravyn, and Rougarou. I’ll get those later in the season.
@@doobertscoobert oh ok
Great video. Been running this park for 25 years easy. Very helpful to travelers. Plan plan, oh yeah plan. Oh yeah if you can come in October or late September you get 8-10 free haunted houses and a cool aesthetic too
Nice place for kids to enjoy. Fun
Thanks!!! im going for the first time in early june but my friend said he went about a week ago and almost all the rides were closed. hoping for the best!
This is a very helpful video!
Thank You!
I just wanted to say thank you for this video! My son and I had our first trip to cedar point this past weekend and we followed your game plan and it worked so well (aside from a little misinformation from the park) any park we plan on visiting in the future I will be checking for your video on it first😃
Thank you so much!!!! Im glad the trip went well! Thanks for letting me know
Excellent advice! This is pretty much the game plan I came up with for my visit on the weekdays this summer. I still haven't done Hotel Breakers. After tax, that would cost an extra $310 a night compared to what I have booked. With that difference, I could easily get fast lane plus every day. I'm not too bummed over being forced to use the main entrance for platinum entry, since Steel Vengeance will be closed. I'll want to focus on Millennium Force and Maverick for that first hour. But it does make it a lot more tricky trying to go between the dry park and the waterpark midday, not wanting to make multiple treks to the car in the main lot. I look forward to your Part 2!
You make a great point about the fast pass especially during the weekdays......Not much of a benefit going thru the Magnum gate if your staying during the week with SV closed. Thanks again!
After this could you do a ultimate guide for kings island and also I’m going to cedar point this summer so thanks for the tips! 👍🏻
Going to be there this time next week!! Can't wait...it's been a long time since we have been here and even when we went it was a short visit. Looking forward to a great time. And staying 2 nights of the visit at Breakers!~Dawn
Hope you have a great visit!
I can't wait to go next week! Great video! Glad access passes are gone!
Thank You! I hope you have a great trip
@@Okaycoasters Do you have any tips on getting on Steel Vengeance with a phone? Sorry if you said something about it and I missed it.
@@Okaycoasters also is early entry a half hour? My friend is saying otherwise em it I want to check with you.
@@ThemeParkAvenue This year they have free lockers you can use right before you get to the stairs up to the platform. They are tiny and basically designed for phones and maybe other small items like car keys.
great video! Earned a new sub
Thanks for the sub!
Actually, there is a way to get into the magnum gate without staying at a hotel. (At least it works for me) All you do is keep to the left lanes at the front gate of the park. This will allow you to drive around the back of the park and get to the water park parking lot. Then, you can enter through the Magnum gate. This works for my family but keep in mind we have the 150 Years pass, so this may be different for some of you. Keep in mind, it does take a bit to drive around the park.
Your the best thanks for the tips
What a great channel. Beautiful videography and incredibly useful content. My 2-night stay at Lighthouse Point is Aug 1... hopefully, Part 2 is out by then!
Thank You!
@@Okaycoasters where is part 2
This is an example of a picture perfect amusement park. Fair amount of thrill rides and family rides. Not to mention it has a beach. Hopefully I can go sometime.
Whoa he uploaded! Nice
When I went this past Monday, the line for steel vengeance by 10am was at least an hour, maybe 2. I didn't have early access, but my tickets still got me in the park early so I waited until 10 for steel vengeance and got on the first car, then had a 10 minute wait for maverick, and went straight to millennium, then gatekeeper only had a 15 minute wait so hopped on that. Then just got some of the smaller credits. Worked out really nicely.
Yo this guide slaps. So helpful. Is part 2 in the works??
God I love these so much. I challenge you to do one for my home park SFGAm at some point, as it's another massive park I think people underestimate their time commitment to.
Great video! I do enjoy the Marina Gate though. I like to start at least one of my mornings there with a marathon on Millennium Force and that's the best way to do that.
Thanks! I always exit thru that gate during the day to walk over to the Restaurant. Haven’t got the chance to enter thru it at opening yet but you can’t go wrong with a marathon on Millennium Force.
Subscribed..... Im taking my family in an old 2006 Scion xB from Chicago to the park!!!!
This helps alot I'm going in august
I was at CP today. My favorite coaster park.
I'm going to ceader point soon and I'm very excited and I'm gonna ride the Mellinium force, Gemini, top thrill dragster, and alot of the tall ones. Honestly, the Gemini has been the tallest coaster I've rode, but soon, tip thrill dragster will be the tallest once I go. :)
Stay at the hotel breakers. It’s worth the money. The location is unbeatable.
The fast pass prices once almost messed me up because I live in the sun belt and can survive one ten and sun but people at Hershey have to be at the water park at 3:00 fast passes were max price but even laugh track only had 30 minute wait.
Huh? That doesn't make sense
@@davedoesthingsdreaded I think they're saying they almost paid premium for Fast Track at Hersheypark on a hot day only to have the ride park empty when everyone went to the water park to cool off and found short lines in the amusement park. I think the other mumbo jumbo is them bragging about their apparent ability to withstand high temperatures???
deciphering this comment was hard lol
Your footage is soooo dazzling 🤩 have you ever been lucky to film (or experience) a rollback on TTD or other launched coaster?
Very nice, I am going to cedar point for 1 day got a soccer tournament up their!
Hope you have a great trip!
Okaycoasters,
Family is heading to CP the last weekend in August. Going be getting to the park around 11 on Saturday and staying through Monday at Lighthouse. My question is what day should I get my fast pass for, Saturday or Sunday? Again, we're getting to the park Saturday around 11. Thanks again for all that you do. Your content has giving me hours of satisfaction and its some of the best in the business! Keep killin it! Maybe one day we'll cross paths and I can thank you in person. Now, get me the hell of of this thing!! OKAY!🤘🏻
If that is what you put out in your timeline; I’ll wait! I have a friend who lives an hour from Cedar Point! I was considering taking a weekend trip! Now I know where to enter how to get the credits! Thank you!
Thanks so much! I hope it works well for you!
@@Okaycoasters me too🙂and You’re Welcome 😊
Time for part 2! 😉
I do 3 days at CP. I game plan on what side of the park I do. He is right get to the big rides first. You can do up to 5 rides in the first hour. Love this park
Great Vid! Part 2 out yet?
PART 2 PLEASE!!!!!!
Tip number one don’t schedule your whole trip around days they eventually decide to cancel and be closed on. Kinda ruins the whole trip
Yeah that was unfortunate but I do understand why they had to make the decision
@@Okaycoasters oh yeah for sure, I’m not too bitter about it. Maybe next year, just decided to make it my first Dollywood trip instead.
Thats another one of my favorite parks!
We had to change our whole trip just to be able to go😅
Join the club man lol
Last weekend I rode almost 40 rides, I got double the rides on a busy Saturday with a fast pass plus then on Friday with little crowds with no fast pass
good to know my fast lane should work wonders on Saturday
I’m going next weekend so definitely grabbing fast passes for my first time going!
Im gonna need a part 2. My girlfriend and I are going this week and she’s never been so im trying to get her hyped up
