Take the lesser of the two evils approach they did. This will work if the tolls can cycle the 10:30 group thru before the 11am group shows up...but we know there are tons of 11am groups already there. Will be interesting to see when the backup gets to a manageable level. Quote

SOBwasaSOB Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Are they letting people in the parking lot? I have not moved for 10 minutes. Quote

The problem with that is they can't cycle the 10:30 group through, because they're not opening the park up until 11 - so the 10:30 group sits and waits in front of the entrance (can't social distance there, either, with that many people).

IceePirate Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 I kinda wonder what Cedar Point is going to be like. I have a reservation for 30mins after the earliest reservation, but due to how long I'll have to spend driving to get there, I'll likely show up in the first wave. 1 Quote

coaster sally Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 By the time 1030's get pushed through temp check and gate it will be after 11. So 1100's would be able to get here along with the 1030's to wait in line and be scanned in at their reservation window. Seems like that would double the amount of people here at 1030. IMO hourly reservations may work out better. 1 Quote

I'll try to get as early as I can to make sure the lines for rides are shorter. Gotta get as much of a marathon on SteVe and Maverick as I can! 1 Quote

FOFirehawkFAN Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 There's no one in line and I've already been line jumped a dozen times Quote
chibul Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Oh fantastic! So they ARE letting people in the park before 11! @DonHelbig - please consider this my public apology. Thank you! 1 Quote
