KI Kevin Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 First things first: Do you have a CF Platinum Pass? Quote
SamDiZZLe3361 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 No! One of my biggest mistakes, I usually plan a visit and it never falls through so I didn't get one this year Quote
Kris_2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 My local credit union sells the 2 day tickets around 60. If you stay at a Cedar Fair hotel you can buy discounts, other then that I'm not sure. I wish you could upgrade to platinum whenever Quote
DiamondbackLover Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Well ride Maverick right when you get in because lines for that thing get crazy. Same goes for MF and TTD but not as insane. Raptor is packed in the beginning but gets short later in the day. Magnum, Maverick, Raptor, Top Thrill Dragster, Millenium Force, and Wicked Twister are the most fun to me. Have fun! Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I had the same phobia as you, I wanted to make sure I got everything in. If you stay for 2 days it is more then enough time to get everything in...trust me. Have fun! Quote
kiruler102 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 if you have AAA they usually sell discount tickets but i dont know for how much Quote
markr Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 If you have a KI Platinum pass, you can upgrade it for about $75. This will upgrade to parking at all the Cedar Fair parks also. The cost to upgrade will depend upon how much you paid for the gold pass. If you are going two days it will more than pay for itself-figure $66 for a 2 day ticket plus 10 per day for parking. If it cost 75 to upgrade that is a $9 savings for 2 days plus you can go as many times as you want the rest of the season. Quote
HandsUp Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Do they do a full hour of ERT every day up there? I'm heading up Friday, can't wait!! Quote

The price of the new pass will be the price of what you paid for it subtracted from $160. I am also headed up there this week. I leave tomorrow morning, might go into the park tomorrow night but staying the whole day Thursday. I havn't been for 10 years and I still have 4 credits waiting for me up there. It will bring my coaster count to 99! Quote
DaveStroem Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Park at the Soak City lot and then head to Maverick. From hear hit MF and then off to TTD. Now that you have the biggies in the back done, ride Cork Screw, Magnum, Gemini & Mean Streak. While your in the back again ride SkyHawk & Cedar Creek Mine ride. From here go to Mantis, Wildcat & Iron Dragon. Jump on the Skyride and take on Raptor & Blue Streak then head across the midway to Wicked Twister, Disaster Transport, Maxair & Chaos. If you can swing the PP, the extra hour in the morning is great as we get in Maverick & MF then jump in line for TTD before the public gets into the park. Quote
luff Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 If you can swing the PP, the extra hour in the morning is great as we get in Maverick & MF then jump in line for TTD before the public gets into the park. This is exactly what we did twice this last weekend, and it worked out great. Too bad TTD is not open early though. Quote
HandsUp Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not the CF photo database covers all of the parks? My wife and I have PPs, but she cannot come to CP this weekend. My buddy is going with me. He doesn't mind paying admission, but it would be super sweet if he didn't have to wait in the parking lot while I rage the ERT. Do you think there's a chance they'd let him in with her pass? Or is her pic going to pop up, even at a different park? Quote
kiruler102 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Well this may be different but how they do it at KI as soon as your in the ark. You just show the pass and they let you in. But i am not for sure with PP and CP so you may just have to find out. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 At Cedar Point you show your pass to the guard standing by Raptor I think. If you go in the other gates it has to be a Plantium pass for them to scan it. Thats the way it was last year. Quote

If you go in the MF or Magnum entrances though it will be scanned. Quote
PhantomTheater Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 The process changed this year, Early Entry people enter on the left side of main gate (Raptor side), as non ERT people enter on the right side (Demon Drop). Thus the pass is scaned at the gate, and there is no cross over point inside the park. Quote
