Most
people enter the park and follow a certain path: front to back then back
to the front. When the parks open, most people enter the park hit Raptor
or Millennium Force first. When the gates first open most people make a
mad dash back to Millennium Force. This dash is known as the “Running
of the Bulls.” Other will hit Raptor first since it is in the front of
the park.
We
recommend that as soon as you enter the park, head back to Magnum.
Since most people ride Millennium Force or Raptor first most
other rides don’t have waits. On your way hit Power Tower. After
Magnum head towards Mean Streak. The back of the park is usually dead
until a hour after opening. Skip Gemini because it never has a long wait
(don’t worry we will come back to it). Mean Streak should not have a
long wait yet. After Mean Streak head towards Cedar Creek Mine Ride. By
the time you hit Mine Ride you will probably notice that the back of the
park is starting to get a little more crowded. After Mine Ride it will
be about lunchtime and you are in a perfect location for lunch. By Mine
Ride there are several different places to get food: Frontier Inn,
Stockade, Lust Lill’s Palace, Chuck Wagon, and Frontier Inn.
After
Lunch, it is time to kick you day into full swing with Millennium Force,
Mantis, and Raptor. Start by heading down the Frontier Trail. A the end
of the trail you will be confronted with Millennium Force. Jump in line
for the force. Once you
have *officially* stepped into the new millennium with Millennium Force
ride the giant bug - Mantis. After Mantis head towards Iron Dragon and
Wildcat, if you have time ride them. Moving along head back down the
main midway towards the front of the park and get in line for the big
green flying machine – Raptor. The bird of prey’s line should have
“cooled down” since most people aren’t in the front of the park.
After flying with Raptor head on over to the Blue Streak. Blue Streak is
easily overlooked by most people but it is one of the best rides in the
park (and it almost always has a short line). After Blue Streak, if time
permits, head on over to Disaster Transport. If you hit a long line I
suggest skipping Disaster Transport. Why? Because it is located on one
side of the park all by itself. After Blue Streak or Disaster Transport,
if you are feeling hungry, head on over to the Midway Market which is by
Raptor. It is a value priced buffet. Then head back to the back of the
park. On your way hit Corkscrew. Then reride Magnum and hit Gemini. Also, for track record, hit
Woodstock Express. By that time most people will be heading out so the
back of the park should be empty. Every night at ten o’clock Cedar
Point puts on a big firework and laser extravaganza near Iron Dragon.
During the show is a great time to hit any of the major rides.
