We enjoyed it as always, however the Johnny Rockets restaurant that we ate at was awful. we ordered a $9.50 cheeseburger that does not come with a side and it was no bigger than a golf ball however the bun was a normal sized bun. my son got the child's sliders which was one of those tiny patties cut in half on two slider buns. It was also overcooked and looks like it had been sitting there for ages. when we first arrived to the restaurant we were told it would be a 30 minute wait and we could wait outside they would get us because the lobby was packed however they did not come get us they just skip right over when we didn't answer. I hate for this to lower the rating of the park because I love the park but Cedar Point needs to do something about this awful establishment make them shape up or get out, remodel them expand it something.

No water rides or splash pads running. 87 degrees. Very busy. Long lines. Cedar Point was definitely not prepared for nice weather in September.

Plan a cedar point trip on a weekday. Weekends can get very crowded. Head to the park early and definitely ride steel vengeance first! The lines get very long afterwards.

Cedar Point is extremely busy during the weekends of the summer months. Unless you pay up for fast lane access, expect average waits of an hour to an hour and a half for the major rides. Fortunately one wait you won't have to deal with is the drive; Cedar Point is very accessible from the Quality Inn Huron.
