Last year, I made a 3 day trip to this park. I stayed at breakers, had fast lane for one day, made sure to get on every coaster, and eat at the best restaurants. Out of all the theme parks I’ve been to, this park was truly something else. Every ride was simple perfection, the food was great, and the atmosphere was better than any other *amusement park.* I like Disney better in terms of experience, but if I could go to any place in the world again it would be cedar point. This review has some great tips and is one of the best quality videos I’ve seen on TH-cam to date!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed your trip.
This has to be the most epic theme park review I’ve ever seen! Nearly 30 min of perfection and amazing tips
Thanks!
@@CanobieCoaster are they still "disinfecting" after each train and making people wear face diapers?
@@killercuddles7051 face diaper ???? You mean a mask for your HEALTH dumb a**
Such a special park. It's really indescribable, and MUST be experienced!
Sure is!
Facts
In my opinion, it’s so much better than any Disney or Universal theme park.
As someone who lives in Cleveland and gets to visit multiple times a year, it’s really something I take for granted. Every visit is special, and it’s just a perfect atmosphere. This video just hyped me up for this season so much
You're lucky to live nearby.
This is one of the best cedar point reviews that I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thanks for your hard work.
Undoubtedly, this is the best coaster collection at any park. Navigating Cedar Point just feels like a chore, though. I love a couple of hours away from the park so I can visit multiple times a year. That makes it nice that I don’t feel like I need to get on everything in one visit. I usually have a great time just riding the good coasters that don’t get stupid long waits, like Magnum, Gemini, Rougarou, Blue Streak, Raptor, and Gatekeeper (in the afternoon).
I feel like Cedar Point needs to do something to fix it’s fast lane system, such as limiting each FL holder to one ride on major attractions. All they have done so far is just raise the price on it, apparently to limit the number sold. As of the time I’m writing this , FL+ for Labor Day weekend is going for $249.
Great content as always, Canobie Coaster!
Thank you! I wonder if some sort of reservation system for the most popular Fast Lane rides would help. I've had to wait 30-60 minutes for Maverick and Steel Vengeance before. Granted that's a lot better than the standby line.
Loved the Review, my home park when I grew up. I used to go all the time. Have seen many changes and some okay but most over the top. My favorite. Thanks for the content, Canobie Coaster
You're welcome!
Wonderful review. No B.S., covers everything, full of useful and up-to-date tips. Appreciate your videos!
Thanks!
@@CanobieCoaster Comparing Notes: visited Tuesday-Thursday 6/21-6/23/22. Wasn't very crowded for Cedar Point on those days. Had a great experience.
Fast Lane Plus: used each day, which consistently saved about an hour on the Ferris Wheel, and 30-60 minutes on Valravyn, Steel Vengeance, and Maverick.
Not helpful on Gatekeeper or Millennium Force due to a combo of the unfavorable merge points on those rides and relatively light crowds. Even with the unfavorable merge point on Steel Vengeance (20 minutes Fast Lane wait), Fast Lane still saved a lot of time. The metal detector on the left seems to move faster than the one on the right (shorter path).
Lockers: required for Valravyn, Magnum, Steel Vengeance, Gatekeeper, Millennium Force, Rougarou, but only Steel Vengeance had metal detectors. The $10 movable locker system is alright I guess, but feels a little nickel & dime and I don't understand the logic for requiring lockers on rides like Rougarou and Magnum.
Accommodations: tried Castaway Bay this time. Mostly families with kids under age 10. Nice room. Water park wasn't too crowded, but we only spent a couple hours there. Breakfast buffet wasn't good (worse than a Homewood Suites). Will stick with Breakers or Lighthouse Point going forward, but glad to have experienced Castaway Bay at least once.
Operations: Firing on all cylinders. Everything was (mostly) open except TTD. Maverick and Steel Vengeance crews were the best. Millennium Force crew was unreasonably slow. All the others were pretty good. All employees were polite, some were super helpful, and they all seemed to want to be there. I wish Six Flags (Magic Mountain, Great America, etc) would send some people over to Kings Island and Cedar Point to learn how to run rides and treat customers. It's not rocket science, but is night and day when comparing Six Flags to the Ohio Cedar Fair parks.
Photo booths: working on Millennium Force, Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Valravyn, and Gatekeeper. Seems like a minor thing having that many ride photo booths working, but it's a huge selling point for my wife. Memories are all any of us have at some point in life and it's neat to see the kids grow up via coaster ride photos taken over the years. Cedar Point helps make that possible more than any other park in America. I appreciate that Funpix season photo pass works at all the best Cedar Fair parks (not Dorney for some reason, but oh well).
Food: Chickie's and Pete's was solid as usual, but the best was the Kitchen & Grill restaurant that just opened in 2022 back by Maverick. I had chicken salad with potatoes and biscuit (twice!). Favorite Cedar Fair restaurant so far, and it is also right next to Chick-fil-A (my kids' favorite) so everyone in the family can eat together even though they got food from different places. The Ferris Wheel overlooks the old Wicked Twister spot, which is now a construction site, and it looks like they are building an upscale restaurant there overlooking the beach. Not ideal from a coaster enthusiast perspective, but it's probably the right move for the park overall.
Rides: The ride lineup here is still the best. Magic Mountain has more coasters, but quality trumps quantity. That said, Magnum = pain. Wonderful view but I think I've had enough of that one (and kinda Arrow in general). You ranked it #4 in your Cedar Point rides video. Was with you up until that point!
Overall: Look forward to visiting again in late August and early October. This is still my #1 park (and #1 trip when combined with Kings Island), although if visiting at busier times the unfavorable merge points would probably knock that ranking down a couple notches, but not too far since Cedar Point is still a wonderful environment to immerse yourself in even if you ride no coasters.
Going there for the 1st time next month. Can’t wait. Thanks for the perfectly timed review 👍
Enjoy!
I give this review a 10 out of 10. Is all this your original footage? Amazing. Job very well done. I’ve only been once, in 2014. Rode the punishing Mean Streak, and stand-up Mantis. And every other non-children coaster - except Gatekeeper was down for both days, and I didn’t catch Gemini, or Cedar Creek Mine Ride. The old restraints on Maverick were a killer. Incidentally, I do love the taste of bugs, so I’m in luck. You’re the best, man. Thank you for your work, as always!
🐸
All of the footage is mine unless noted by the on-screen credit.
Been making consistant visits to cheddar point for the past 20 years. It's still in my top 10 parks I've been to with hands down the best coaster collection
Those coasters are amazing.
@@CanobieCoaster BDW if you have early entry to the point do you recommend any place for picking up fast lane plus? Should I bolt for millenium force first or pick up the band?
I agree CP is a great Coaster park in the US *but* I also think Energlandia, Poland's newish Amusement park is giving them a run for their money. Opened in 1994, has 17 coasters with more being currently built. There not finished with development, it truly is a themepark lover's dream (if you can get there) .
Energylandia has more coasters and awesome headliners, but they don't have the same quality in their supporting coasters.
Cedar point and Hershey are my 2 favorite parks. CP has an sheer abundance of incredible attractions. Hershey has a fantastic top 5 and j find it to be incredibly charming. I flip flop which I like more, as a Cleveland native though I go to CP way more
Sky rush=Maverick
Great Bear=Raptor
Storm runner > Dragster
Candymoniun < MilF
Fahrenheit > Valraven / Rougarou
Comet > Bluestreak
Gemini > Lightning Racers
Steel Vengeance (?) Wildcats Rev.
S. D. Looper > Corkscrew
Wildmouse/Wildmouse(whocares)
….
But then CP still has Gatekeeper and better flats… damn close though IMO
Such a deep park!
I went to Ohio for my first time last year, and I preferred KI to CP overall. Both were great. I did 4 days at KI and 5 at CP. The crowds at CP were crazy. I waited over an hour for SV with a fast lane plus. I waited 2.5 hours without it. RMC needs to debut a 4 across coaster train for CP. I never saw Valravn below 45mins for fast lane. Maverick had wacky lines too. My highlights from CP were getting the last ride on SV every night, riding Millie every morning early entry, and getting lucky once each with Maverick and Dragster with marathoning them. We rode Dragster with 0 wait (with fastlane) 8 times in a row. What a rush.
Kings Island is definitely better for crowds and Fast Lane.
@@CanobieCoaster Thanks for the response. I'm a big fan of your channel. Honestly, my preference for KI was more about the intangibles like park pride and staff friendliness. Also, I really enjoy the variety with world class woodies and some great steel modern monsters. I rode the last night ride on The Beast every night I was there. I tend to lean towards quality over quantity with coasters.
Here's a breakdown if it interests you:
- The bat > Iron Dragon + Corkscrew combined
- Orion => Millennium Force (tough one)
- Diamondback vs Magnum is hard, but without nostalgia? I'm going Diamondback.
- Steel Vengeance (probably the best coaster in the world) > Mystic Timbers (The best GCI ever)
- The Beast > Blue streak
- Banshee=Raptor: OK, I do slightly prefer Banshee. I personally prefer longer rides with bigger drops, and I don't really like cobra rolls that much.
Gemini > Racer but I enjoy both
Maverick: KI doesn't have an answer for this. Flight of Fear and Stunt Lot are both fun, but not outstanding.
- Valravn is a good dive coaster, and I think CP starts really pulling ahead on Coaster collections at this point. I'll put Invertigo here, losing horribly to Valravn.
- Gatekeeper: OK, I don't know what to make of this ride. It was shut down for my 5 days at CP. I hear it's not that great, but I'd like to decide for myself. Points to CP for having this beautiful looking ride right at their entrance.
- Rougarou: It just doesn't feel like it belongs, but it does what it does fairly well as the world's third worst B&M.
- CP would take the edge here for me with Top Thrill Dragster, but will it ever be open again? And if it is, will it be for more than 10 minutes per day?
- I think the flat ride collections are pretty comparable.
- I'm not the least bit interested in credits or kiddie coasters, so everything else is irrelevant to me.
- Corkscrew is a terrible ride. I'm not interested in ever riding it again unless I'm paid to do so. I would say Iron Dragon is worse as a thrill ride, but with the added headache and misery, Corkscrew really takes the cake.
- The Beast: This ride is iconic, and of course it's the longest woodie in the world by quite a bit. Its layout isn't the greatest, it has been rough, and there is some kinda boring straight track, but the whole experience, especially if you get a night ride, is a truly unique and memorable experience worth having.
Well, that's my coaster breakdown CP vs. KI. Cheers.
@@russ4moosedang, that's a detailed reply lol
I feel like a trip there would not be easy. If you don't already live close by, the closest airport is in cleveland about an hour away.
@metallicnole4514 It's not easy. I had to fly into covington, KY, and rent a car.
I live in Ohio around the Sandusky area and when you go to cedar point so much, sometimes it’s hard to believe that you can’t really get any bigger and better than Cedar Point
It's one of the world's best parks.
Nice review
Glad to finally see a solid review of this place👌🏻 the 230 cedar fair pass is a bargain probaly, even the 135 pass only for cp is a great value (2days and you already got it back)
I'd use it a ton if I lived near this park.
Great review & tips. The long lines on almost all days are the biggest downside. Last year, my planned departure day drew a very light crowd because of overnight storms, so I added a day to spend 4.5 days here, and never got bored. My least favorite of those days was my fast lane plus day, as the fast lane lines were typically longer than the regular lines, as it seemed that half the guests had it. I actually got more done on my other days and had more fun, but I also utilized many of the tips that you mentioned to manage the crowds well. I'm a fan of loaded mac & cheese bowls, and Cedar Point has a good place for that near the front of the park.
I didn't know that Maverick was also being taken off the early entry this year. It was on early entry last year, but I still prioritized Millennium Force during early entry, jumping on Valravn on the way. I was very lucky to visit during the short time that both Dragster & Gatekeeper were open. I stayed at a cheap Rodeway Inn for under $250 total for 4 nights, since I wouldn't be in the room much, and despite questionable reviews, it was a great motel. I've stayed there 3 times now.
I'm wondering if neither Maverick nor Vengeance being on Early Entry will negate my strategy to start with Millennium Force.
@@CanobieCoaster Interesting you mention that. Maverick went down Tuesday and stayed down for a couple days. Wednesday morning, I went straight to Millennium Force at the start of early entry, and when I got off, the line was already filling several switchbacks before the fast lane merge point. All the Maverick riders might have been here instead.
Cedar Point is my favorite Amusement Park because of the entire experience from rollercoasters, the beach, and Hotel Breakers to name a few. I absolutely love this place!
It really is amazing.
As a small child I remember going on one of the kiddie rides and it was swarmed with mayfly’s. I’m talking everywhere you look. When you walk into the park you can step on them on accident. Also at lighthouse point there was about 10 black snakes on the rocks by the shore.
They are everywhere!
Excellent commentary. Our opinion this is the best seasonal park in the nation. I grew up in Toledo now live in Virginia and it sure beats BGW and KD. Truly is a park like no other. 🎠🎢🎡🏖🎬🤽♂️🤽🏿♀️🍷☕️😎
Thanks!
Incredible work.
Thank you very much!
Great review, im going tomorrow. Haven't been in about 10 years
Have fun!
I have been here once for vacation and it was great I do wanna go back sometime
Nice!
I am going for the first time in a few weeks I am so exited!
Enjoy!
Bucket list park, for sure!
Absolutely!
A bucket list park for me!
Understandable!
It's easily my favorite Cedar Fair park. After visiting for the first time in 2015, I actually preferred Kings Island a little bit more because there were some small disappointments like the bugs, the high winds and me somehow throwing up on Gemini (how?🤔). Then we came back in 2017 and included the waterpark with our visit and had a much better time. Next time I plan.to spend more time exploring the Frontier Trail and check out Castaway Bay and the nearby Kalahari also.
By the way that fifth hotel off property not mentioned is called Sawmill Creek.
Wind is the number one thing that can derail a Cedar Point visit for me. I always check the forecast in advance to game plan my days.
@@CanobieCoaster How is the last week of August for visiting this park? I checked temps but did not think of wind when we planned the visit.
@@benallen7037 Hmm I'm from Michigan, so the weather is very comparable, late August it shouldn't be too bad, the issue is, the weather up here is just very bipolar, I would check 2 weeks out, and see what the forecast will be around early-mid August.
If you want my honest opinion, the best time to go to Cedar Point is in June though, weather is good, far far less people, if you go on a Wednesday, you can practically ensure you ride everything, and possibly twice.
Don't forget about the Pagoda shop back by Gatekeeper, all the classic merch for old and defunct attractions are there. Also you aren't missing much on Hollowweekends. The park is even busier then than the summer months and they have scare actors that try and slide into you.
I love that shop.
In late May 2018 staying at Breakers I needed the early entrance for SV which only hd one train ops then. I only appreciated Maverick for also being open for early entry as it w on the way to MF; my other favourite coaster at CP other than SV. I guess I'll go back when Breakers offers early entrance to SV; Im guessing 2024? (BTW Chick Fillet isn't a ride. ;) ) Great Video, thanks for posting!
That certainly was an advantage to staying there. Thankfully I've always had multiple trains on Vengeance.
I’m going next week for the first time and I’m so excited
Enjoy!
Amazing underrated channel
Thanks!
I really like those coaster pics in that one hotel
They're a nice touch.
I miss there so much ! ❤
It's an amazing park.
Man I can't wait for my first visit to Cedar Point whenever that happens.
One day!
I recently visited the cedar point in August 2022 we stayed at hotel breakers had a wonderful time wasn't very crowded until Saturday morning when we left
Nice!
This is my favorite place ever has the most amazing views and rides and so many other things than rides frontier trail is amazing and staying at breakers and using the beach is the best thing
It has so much!
@@CanobieCoaster it’s great
Probably the best amusement park in existence. There is just to much to love here, I'm not going to get into it but you cant not have a fun time in this 16 coaster park. And their top 5 or so which are world class coasters, all in the same park. And that its so massive, the fact its over a mile long is just stupid.
It's incredible.
FANTASTIC review, thoughts, and Opinions!!
I think that Kings Island is overall a better park. But it’s close for me.
Getting back to both in 2024! Cedar Point in the Spring and Kings Island in the Fall. Come from Iowa. Loved everything in your review! Ready to try TT2!
Thanks! I'm looking forward to Top Thrill 2 too.
Cannot recommend Halloweekends enough! It's busy for sure but the usual Ohio fall around 65-70 degrees and calm weather plus the haunted events make for probably the best time you could have at the park.
That weather beats the hot summers.
I went here in 2013 for my middle school graduation gift it was my first time it was definitely a great gift
Nice!
I went to Disneyland for my high school graduation.
Just saying. No competition necessary.
This is my home park, I absolutely love it, and much or my top 10 coasters are Cedar Point coasters. I don't think their operations are as good as King's Island, but I got to give them alot of credit. I kind of stick around the back of the park, mostly Magnum but alot of Maverick and Steve. Then walk up for the B&Ms later.
I agree Kings Island has better operations.
The cabins at cedar point are nice. Experienced them last June.
Nice!
I've been to Cedar Point before since 2019 I had a great time with my parents but, we didn't get to ride much roller coasters but I did get to ride on some attractions and rides.
Definitely worth a return trip then.
Cedar point is always slammed but if you go in the summer and you have a disability like me, you can get the plan your day boarding pass program and you can enter the attractions through their exit and usually get right on within 5 to 10 minutes and they let you choose any row you want to but depending on how crowded the park is they do give you a return time anywhere between 10 mins-2 hours but the only time you have to wait an hour or more to get on attractions is during the fall season and weekends. It really definitely saves your time and you even get on faster than the fast lane and fast lane plus options that can be very expensive like you said. And then it doesn’t rain every day in the summer but only a few days unlike the Orlando parks. The only downside is there is not any single rider lines at cedar point meaning that if you do not have a disability you are forced to wait in those long lengthy lines unless you purchase a fast lane.
I'm glad that system works well for you.
I went to CP last year for the first time, and was planning on doing it again this year, but with them being down 2 coasters this year, I decided its probably not the best time to go back. Doing Orlando parks instead, since they all seem to have new ones lately.
While Cedar Point has two rides missing, the lineup still holds its own. That's how strong the lineup is.
Nice review! Hope you can put some background music in the video. It will make it more interesting. Can use no copyright sound to prevent music copyright.
I did have music there. Was it not loud enough? I'm bad trying to balance background sound and voiceover audio.
cedar point is literally just a giant straight line, i like kings islands layout way more.
Sometimes I think of this place as an island you can drive to.
Kings Island is faster to navigate for sure.
Bucket list for coaster fans. We stayed at the hotel the year after renovations. Coasters are serious business at this park!!
Absolutely!
I'm so jealous that the east coast has Cedar Point while us on the west coast only have Magic Mountain. Great vid, though.
Magic Mountain has almost as good of a coaster lineup and you are able to visit that park on quiet days (ex. off-peak weekdays).
Still super pumped for my first visit next week, but taking Steel Vengeance and Maverick off of night time ERT and then announcing the frontier nights event a few days after everyone bought tickets for Coastermania was a bit of a slap in the face. I probably would have just payed for that for the Night rides on Mav and Steve. Oh well, just slightly shady IMO.
I didn't look into the Coastermania ERT too hard, but that's a bummer.
I can't believe I've lived in Ohio just a couple hours from cedar point, kings island and the zoo and zoombezi bay(wyandot lake) my entire life and never appreciated it the way it should be because I've been so close and watched it evolve over the years and I'm only 29.
Lucky!
As I was there over summer, behind the Matterhorn I saw a old golf cart that still had a arrow dynamics logo on it. You’d think they’d remove that logo but nope. Still there
Interesting!
im going to be staying at hotel breakers and plan to start early entry at millie as you suggested. however, im not sure which gate will be most practical to get to the coaster as fast as possible. which one do you generally take? ty
The Marina gate is easily the best for Millennium, but I think that gate is closed for early entry. I think the Breakers gate and front gate take similar time.
Mine ride was riding extremely rough this year. One of the roughest coasters I’ve ridden it jackhammerd and violently shook side to side and slammed into the side of the track. We live about 2 hours away so we visit a few times a year
Dang that stinks it was rough.
went here on a saturday and sunday
saturday everything had 1-4 hour lines, yeah 4 hours.
sunday it was thunder stoorming in the morning sprinking the rest of the day and everything was a walk on almost
also dragster opened and got a ride on it !!
sadly had to leave halfway through the day so didnt get to ride much
Storms can be both a blessing and a curse.
An absolutely amazing park! Still disappointed about TTD as it evaded me many times and I never got to ride it. CP does have great merch!
Hopefully the changes to Dragster make it more reliable.
Steel Vengeance and Maverick are definitely the best 2 coasters at Cedar Point and they're the best 2 coasters I've ridden so far.
I prefer Millennium Force to Maverick, but all three are awesome.
the card you can get at guest relations is still available to get, i got one in summer 2021
That's good to know. I heard from a few you couldn't.
Cedar Point really is a place like no other, however I prefer Kings Island over Cedar Point. That being said, I always enjoy this place. I use your strategy of going to the North end first, and have found it very helpful. Fast Lane plus is mandatory here, and I never visit without it anymore. In 2018, I had the best possible RNG here with bad weather and Fast Lane Plus. I lapped the tar out of everything even Steel Vengeance. I hope Top Thrill 2 does well.
I wish crowds were as big of an issue, but I can't blame people for flocking here.
i was there for the opening of all those coasters beginning with the corkscrew.
Nice!
@@CanobieCoaster Thanks. hated missing the past two years due to covid, but i was afraid that the park experience wouldn't be worth continuing my 44 year streak! going to resume in two more weeks.
Who would Head back to the hotel in the middle of the day for a break!?! Amatures!
The only time I've gone back to Breakers midday was after I failed to finish my sandwich from Melt and needed to store it before riding anything else.
@@CanobieCoaster acceptable.
Didn't realize this place wasn't pedestrian accessible. I knew something felt strange lmfao. Also the last time I went I got a perfect visit, every weather forecast said heavy showers and it only ended up being 30 minutes of sprinkling before the entire park only had 3.5k guests in it. Even dragster was open with a 25 minute wait, was incredible
They should at least have a sidewalk along the road for those who want to ride their bike or just walk along the lake.
It would be a super long walk down the causeway anyway.
Going here is pretty much my biggest goal in life haha
Hope you can!
I DO still lament the fact that Cedar Fair made "overtures" to buy AstroWorld (my home park) You DID however get Monte Jasper as VP of Maintenance from US. Just to think in the 1960's they were gonna make housing out of this great park!??? The museum is a great touch! They also do have a great selection of both new & vintage flat rides. And you knowww how much I love a steam rail road! The 2 (quads) Priceless!
I love how this park respects its history.
Last August I went for 2 days and it was dead. Walkons for majority of rides. I was able to ride every single coaster in one day (rougarou closed)
Day 2 I got on millie 3 times and steve 6 times only long line was maverick (45mins). I feel blessed at the luck I had.
That's lucky!
My thighs scream at the mention of Steel Vengeance! (I'm going on again this year when I'm there in early June. :P)
That ride certainly is an endurance test.
Magnum hurts more.
@@RA-hx9uc I don't think it hurts more... Unless you ride the magic seat. That hurt really bad. ;) But yeah I agree that one has insane ejector airtime.
Do you know if you have to be staying at Hotel Breakers in order to park in the back lot near the hotel? Can you park there even if your not staying in the hotel? I hate parking in the front.
You can park in the back lot during normal operating hours. You can't use the Magnum gate for early entry unless you're a Breakers or Lighthouse Point guest, so they may not let you back there until 10 am.
@@CanobieCoaster ok cool, thanks for the reply!!
When I went to cedar point for the first time we were going to get fast lane plus however for the day I was going it was 300 dollars so we had to get normal fast lane and because of that I never got on maverick.
They have made Fast Lane super pricey since it kept overselling. I get why they did it.
Cedar point is my favorite place I love it
It's amazing.
@@CanobieCoaster Yeah it’s super fun
Needs a solid wooden coaster. Blue Streak is okay, but they need a real power hitter. Gemini and Steel Vengeance are hybrids. They need a Mystic Timbers
Another would be nice.
I love this review, but I have to disagree with one point. Millennium is best experienced in the back row. That first drop is just devastating and you feel the limited airtime a lot more. The front row is still fun. But if I had to pick one it would be back row.
That drop is sweet in the back, but everything else is far superior up front for me.
I went to cedar point mid may, and everything was closed, me and my father rode one ride, rougaro and then left as force, vengeance, valravyn, raptor, and practically everything else was down, why? you may ask, wind speeds, not rain, not thunder, wind speeds.
we went again the following week and had a blast
Wind can be a big issue here sadly.
nice bro
Thanks
Food: BackBeatCue, esp. the BBQ chicken, vivid smoke ring, best thing I ever had in a park, maybe anywhere.
I tried that BBQ last year and thought it was just ok.
@@CanobieCoaster The pulled pork was average, admittedly. 2019, first year? Maybe it was just the last time I had really good BBQ chicken, the stuff does have an almost unfair advantage, but also their mac and cheese was way above the norm, even though that's still not as good as chicken. ;)
6:30 The fuckin bugs man. Hahah I swallowed tons on Steel Vengeance. It's nuts. I loved the Hotel Breakers stay and being able to enter the park in the back. Hour early is great too. Park is just so damn huge and they have tons of rides. So it's really the best park in the world for spreading guests out. That I know of at least.
I’ve only been their twice in 2013 and 2017 and I don’t remember any bugs hitting me on the coasters
@@rollercoasterheaven2170 Oh man they're everywhere during a specific season (Summer when I was there, I'd assume that's when heaviest) and at night. And I believe up at altitude as well. No doubt about that, I mean there were mountains, literal piles 1' high of them near lights dead.
I know never to open my mouth on their coasters.
You need two days there because there are always major rides there that will break down or not operate on one of those days.
Wind is a big issue for sure.
personally i don’t even think it’s “arguably” the best coaster collection. i’ve genuinely never been to a park with better a coaster lineup and at this point i don’t think anything will top at for a while
I see some argue for Magic Mountain and now Hersheypark, but this is my favorite.
During CoasterMania, they have ERT on Wilderness Run and there'll be a comical line entirely made up of adults to ride. RIP Pink's however Mac Shack is delicious. At least they have Derby Dogs now for custom hot dogs.,
I'm not surprised that would get a long ERT line!
@@CanobieCoaster I’ve ridden Wildness twice. Once with the pass that allowed for adults to ride kids rides and then once during ERT. No shame lol
Cant wait to be there the last week of August 2024. Went there 2 yrs ago and had the best time of my life with my brother and another friend. We stayed at an amazing airbnd house 4 bed 2.5 bath that was right across the street from the lake and less than a mile from the park. Have been looking at airbnd sites and it seems like there is nothing like the house we stayed in a few yrs back. Definitely nothing located anywhere near where we stayed. Everything is small condos and old homes 10 - 20 miles away from the park. When we booked 2 yrs ago there were several houses right along the lake on the peninsula. Now there are none. If anyone can comment on this would love to know why. All the hotels in and around the park are a joke in my humble opinion.
Enjoy your trip and the new Top Thrill 2.
It’s agianst the rules to run at certain parks? My home park is sfga and I sprint through the park all day and I’ve never gotten an earful from anybody about it
Most parks are against running.
I still don't understand why Cedar Point is considered a peninsula. It is completely surrounded by water. You have to go over bridges on either entrance, which means it should be considered an island.
Is the causeway not a thin strip of land?
Will you ever make a review of Gatekeeper
Down the road, yes.

Nothing I could do.
The running policy makes sense when you consider cedar point is massive to walk through
I honestly didn't know parks had a running policy. At least I've never seen them truly enforced when.i visit them.
It certainly saves time.
in your experience how much does it cost for hotel brakers?
Depends on the day. I have gotten it as low as $200 before.
@@CanobieCoaster cool thanks
When is the recommendation for the touring plan?
I think it's near the middle mark.

I want to experience the thrill of free falling. What are the best rides for me that don’t go upside down
Drop towers
@@CanobieCoaster ok ty
What would you rate Valravn?
Probably an 8.
Windseeker closes in the wind? Is that not what it was seeking??
It's ironic.
So what do you mean by the ladder you always mention something called the ladder in every one of your reviews and I don’t understand what you mean by that. Besides that you do a lot of research even when you’re visiting and you put all of your visits and research into your review videos and that’s what I love and that’s why I watch your review videos for the best theme park tips.
Latter. The latest of the items I say in a series.
My friend who knows I’m a enthusiast and have always wanted to go to Cedar point he’s going on a vacation to Michigan so he’s sending me pictures on Apple Maps saying stuff like 30 minutes to Cedar point and signs saying Next exit Sandusky Ohio
That's a tease.
This is the best park in the United States period.
Best amusement park, yes. There are a few theme parks I prefer myself.

Nice!
idk why i’m watching this it’s my home park and i’ll be there opening day🤪
You're watching it just because you love this park. Simple as that. I know I do.
Enjoy!
I have seen mayflies and they are honestly pretty terrifying
Masks and glasses helped!
This is where a wet day helps, it keeps the bugs at bay.
That was completely unexpected when I came the evening before my first full day in 2015. Thankfully they were never a problem afterwards.
Raptor birthday was Saturday May 7
Nice!
I worked here last summer and 2.5 months didn’t even feel like enough time to experience everything 😭😭
Wow!
I really didn't enjoy Corkscrew. I don't think I'll ever ride it again after my first ride. I do agree that it looks good, though.
I hope those corkscrews stay even if the ride may leave one day.
@@CanobieCoaster I totally agree. They are great as a decoration, just please don't make me ride them!
There are much better "over the walkway" coasters and coaster elements around. The novelty of corkscrew is gone. They should replace it while keeping some element over the walkway. It, to me, is their only trash, throwaway coaster. Blue Streak, Iron Dragon, and Cedar Creek Mine Ride even have their place in the park. Corkscrew, however....rip it out!!!
I don't ride this one (my kids do) but I get in line anyway for the ride operator, as she deadpan preaches about how this ride will leave you "speechless" and "blow away" your expectations relative to any other ride in the park, including Maverick and Steel Vengeance. I listened to her sermon a few times on the most recent visit. Everything she says is technically 100% true. Only after riding Corkscrew do you appreciate the joy she must feel getting paid to creatively talk sh*t about this ride all day.
It’s my #2 park only behind Holiday World. The reason why is due to the sentimental value I have for Holiday World.
I prefer Holiday World by a lot despite the shitty waterpark experience
@@certifiednucci6315 A s.......y waterpark experience? Sounds like you went on a bad day or were unlucky with the crowds.
That's fair!
@@mitchellries256 Mammoth broke down right when I was next in line and ended up making everyone leave the queue and my 1 hour Cheetah Chase wait turned into 2.5 hours bc it broke down 3 times and when I fimally got on it was honestly one of the worst rides ever. Wildebeest was good but pretty overrated and the fact that i didnt have a group really limited what slides i could go on
@@CanobieCoaster I’ve gone every year since 2009 or 2010, and that’s actually where I got over my fear of launch coasters. Thunderbird was my first launch coaster; and it is one of the main reasons why I get so excited to go every year
I just visited about 2 weeks an you weren’t wrong about mayflies I got swarmed by mayflies on millennium force
Oh no!
Cedar Point One Best Amusement Park in The World 🌎🌍.
Sure is!
