Hi,
I have been in charge of my colleges trip to Cedar Point, and was woundering if anyone could tell me I they knew what the lines would be like on a thursday in May. The offical date is Thursday, May 24.
Anything else I should expect on this day?
Thanks

I would check out this site if you haven't already. I found it a while ago, and I'm not sure how accurate it is because random people enter in their wait times, but I would check it out if I were you. Have fun! EDIT: The "this" is clickable

It's a weekday, so you should all be fine. Everyone's in school/work, so you guys should have to park to yourselves and a few hundred others (sounds like a lot of people, but in a park that huge it's nothing, believe me).
Make sure to hit TTD, Millenium Force, and Maverick first; if there's any crowds, those are the rides that'll form lines first.

^ And Raptor, that can get very long lines in the afternoon.

^Ah, forgot about Raptor and Mantis. I waited in a 30-45 minute line for Raptor and like, 45-60 mins for Mantis in the afternoon...of course, that was a weekend in the summer!

The best advice I can give to you is not to wait for Mantis if the wait is over 45 mins. COMPLETELY not worth the wait when it's that long. Run to Maverick first, then Millennium Force, then Top Thrill Dragster. Raptor has the longest lines around lunch, so avoid it at that time. Also, it might be best to stay at Breakers if you want some nice perks.

Or even stay at Espress, it's the cheapest and it was actually really nice for the little amount of money it cost to stay there!
We did get in an hour early (I think I was having that argument with Patrick...) by the way, so you get the same perks there as any other on-site hotel.

Yeah, I've heard the on-site hotels are usually the best way to go.

I heard the park has trouble with every coaster but Raptor. Someone told me when they wen't all the coasters broke down at least one except Raptor.

Nothing broke down for me the two days straight I was there. I was there open-to-close both days, and not a single ride ever broke down.

Some people say to tell the people you are going to the water park so you can park back there and get in the back entrance, but I never had any trouble parking in the main lot. You definitely shouldn't have any trouble if you're getting there at 9:30. When we got there that early we were in like the second row.

I'm going back on the 27th!
How long do you think Maverick's line will be on a weekday?
