EMPHASIS ADDED.

No re-entry???

Wow. Just wow.

That may mean no re-entry to the buffet, not the park itself.

They wrote the email...if so, they are guilty of sloppy writing...

I don't think it is sloppy writing at all. It is quite clear.

The statement about no re-admission was written after the time of the event, and in the same sentence as ticket valid for one visit to the event.

Since when is an "event" considered an all day ticket?

Yes, I'm certain it means no re-entry into the buffet.

Since when is a meal at Cedar Point considered an event?

Terpy, running for the door!

When you have such insurmountable debt?

When it costs the same as a Jimmy Buffet concert ticket.

I'm not really sure how they would be able to tell if you were a ticket holder for that or not. I'm pretty sure they just hand stamp everyone on the way out if they'd like to re enter.

^ We are talking about re-entry for the dinner, not re-entry for the park.

The only thing i can figure out is that they are trying to cut down on people leaving the park to go out and buy food and then come back in the park.

The statement has nothing to do with leaving and re-entering the park.

No, but including a meal and an admission ticket for a reasonable price certainly does...
