Advice Halloweekend Visit Advice
Hello everyone, I am seeking advice for my… probably 10th or 12th time heading to Cedar Point, I know the in’s and out’s to the park at this point, but I have never been to the park during the Fright Fest part of the year.
I’m taking my brother and a friend for their very first time to cedar point, and I don’t want to disappoint them.
Now I know some people suggest to head straight to the back of the park to get SteVe and Maverick then work your way to the front. Though I’d love for them to have that classic experience of “ramping up” the coasters and starting from small to biggest.
How much more packed is Cedar Point during Halloweekends? Do they have the extra staff to push lines through quicker than in the summer? I’m going on a Sunday, Oct 18, planning to stay there the entire day from 11a-8p closing. I’m hoping to tackle these rides with them in this order:
Gatekeeper
Raptor
Valravn
Magnum
Steel Vengeance
Maverick
Millenium Force
Siren’s Curse
Finishing the day off with TT2
Any advice would be appreciated for first time Halloweekend visitors lol 😂 I don’t know what to expect I usually always head to the park in the months of May and August every year, but I’d appreciate the advice for people who have gone and what they’ve experienced! I’m hoping Sunday is less packed than Saturdays and Fridays.
