Cedar Point Help

by **coasterinsane** on July 14th, 2005, 11:32 pm

Me and my friend are trying to take a trip over to cedar point in august but im only 17 and she is 16. How are we supposed to stay anywhere without and adult. We have parental permission, no doubt... we just need hotel permission. Where would you recomend us staying? (3 nights 9th,10th,11th)

Sorry, but there is no hotel that will let a 17 yr old get a room. Key reason I couldnt make it to SFSTL this yr....

It blows. But hey, next yr ill be 18

Tough luck buddy. Always next year.

Not going to happen.

Only thing I can recommend is that you and your friend get as much sleep as possible the day before you leave. Hit the road by 3am to make it to the park by opening. Leave around 10 pm and make it back to Illinois by 3am.

You would be up for 24 hours but if you switch off driving, it wouldn't be that bad. If you get to tired while driving home, stop off at a rest stop along side the highway and take a nap in the car.

Sounds crazy but if you really want to hit CP, and at your age, this is your only option right now.

Good point. If you go to bed by 8:00 PM (crazy, right?) you would get 7 full hours of sleep. Not ideal but certainly enough. And I'm sure you've stayed up until 3:00 AM before, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks.. but would it help if our parents are paying and are willing to make reservations for us?

by **SfgamFreak03** on July 15th, 2005, 12:12 am

I would suggest bringing a cardboard box because hotels will not let you stay in a room unless you are with an adult! Good luck finding a cardboard box that will fit the both of you and make sure you bring your sleeping bags!!!

by **twixmix0303** on July 15th, 2005, 12:13 am

No, they would almost certainly require I.D. upon check-in. I guess they could drive down with you guys, get the room keys, but not spend the night.

by **V2's Mighty Golden Arrow** on July 15th, 2005, 1:41 am

It's still cheaper (and in some ways fuuner) to drive it and not spend the night. Have Fun!

by **coasterinsane** on July 15th, 2005, 11:24 am

Im willing to sleep in my car at rest stop.. but her parents are not exactly up for that... i wonder why :roll:

haha, just kidding. I guess im just gonna go alone...... :cry:

by **CoasterKing** on July 15th, 2005, 1:38 pm

Well im sorry about that

, but still have lots of fun

by **Raging_Bull** on July 15th, 2005, 7:32 pm

you're going to want to spend more than one day at Cedar Point..

by **Iggy ACE** on July 15th, 2005, 9:47 pm

Sleep in the hotel parking lot and tell her parents you got a room. !

by **Timmy179** on July 15th, 2005, 10:44 pm

And still ask for money from your parents for a hotel room.....

:wink:

I'd have a field day with this.

i live in milwaukee pick me up on the way

by **coasterinsane** on July 16th, 2005, 12:29 am

Well, i found someone to take me... we are camping like a mile away and ... your kinda outah my way.. haha ^^^^^^^^

BUT, tell me what needs to be done.. we are staying a whole 4 days!

by **coasterinsane** on July 18th, 2005, 12:11 am

Okay, heres my next question. How crowded do you suppose it will be from the 8 to the 12?

by **Raging_Bull** on July 19th, 2005, 1:16 am

Well it will be crowded since it is the summer but at least you are going on weekdays. Expect around 45 minutes for MF and an hour for Dragster. WAIT FOR THE FRONT ROW ON DRAGSTER no matter how much longer it is, believe me. Go on Raptor in the late afternoon. Hit either MF or TTD first, but then go to the back of the park and go on Gemini and Magnum, there rides are deserted in the morning. Make sure you hit MaXair. Most of all, have a great time :lol:

by **coastercraverjim** on August 1st, 2005, 10:47 pm

Actually, the best bet on TTD is to hit the shortest seat, just to make sure you can get in a ride before it breaks down (it will) and since your there more than one day AND its during the week, you'll get several more runs on TTD. Just make sure to get the shortest wait on the first ride.

No not really...Dragster has been running VERY well this year. Make sure you wait for the front seat on your first ride, you will not be dissapointed. I was at CP for 3 full days this season and TTD never broke down. WAIT FOR THE FRONT!

Man I wish I had enough trust from my parents to let me drive down to Cedar Point with a girl by OURSELVES..."life is not fair"

Can you believe I have never been to Cdar Point?!?!

by **coasterinsane** on August 2nd, 2005, 12:11 am

Dont worry. Hahah, shes like a family friend.
And im really nervous about the trip being canceled at the last minute becuase of money issues.
Does anyone know anything about an early entrance pass or somthing, or discount tickets?
ANYthing to make our trip more enjoyable would be wonderful.
Thanks.

Join the club, I havent either. But will go in 06'.

by **Iggy ACE** on August 3rd, 2005, 11:20 pm

Early entrance pass are for Joe Cool season passes and resort guests only! Go to the back entrance by Soak City by 8:30 am and sometimes they let everyone back there in at 9am. Also this is the closest gate to TTD!

by **coasterinsane** on August 4th, 2005, 1:15 am

Awsome, that is great.

We are getting season passes. Is that the Joe Cool season pass?

How much earlier? AND Are we aloud to get on rides durring that time or can we only wait outside the lines?
