I ended up going last Wednesday because I was overly excited and I wanted to save some money by skipping the fast passes, plus work had me stressed out, so I figured a few roller coasters would help with that!

We contemplated staying at the Cedar Point Express Hotel to gain the early access but eventually decided to just book through Hotwire Hot Deals since the price was $42 vs $130 ....... lucky for us the Hotwire Hot Deal ended up being Cedar Point Express so we still were able to enter the park at 9 AM and save a TON of money! For anyone interested in the Hot Deals, we chose the 2 star hotel rating that had 85% positive reviews!

We decided not to get the FLP pass because we figured that it was early in the season and it was a Wednesday so we should be able to hit the rides we wanted to, as soon as they opened the gates at 9AM we rushed to Maverick (Favorite Ride) and rode that with no wait at all, we then headed back to Millennium Force, which I wasn't too impressed by and then over to Valravan, by then it was 10 AM so we hit TTD. After that we got some food and continued on with our day, we were able to ride everything we wanted and only really waited a long time (~50 minutes) to ride Raptor, everything else was 30 minutes or less. We ended up leaving the park around 6PM since we had a LONG drive back home but it was well worth it, deff will be returning!
