How to beat the lines at Cedar Point

Start at the far end. Steel Vengeance and Maverick stand in Frontier Town, about a mile on foot up the peninsula from the main gate, while Raptor, Valravn and GateKeeper greet everyone who walks in the front.

Stay at a Cedar Point resort for Early Entry. Resort hotel guests and Prestige Passholders ride 60 minutes before public opening on select rides, GateKeeper, Millennium Force, Top Thrill 2 and Siren's Curse among them.

Buy Fast Lane only for the big day. Daily Fast Lane starts at $125 before fees and tax and covers select rides for one visit, so it pays off on a packed summer Saturday more than a quiet May weekday.
