Cedar Point

I’m not a coaster rider (and my kids had fast passes anyway), so I did not use the wait times feature. Except for the map, the vast majority of the app was adverts/sales pitches for tickets/fast passes/meal plans. We already had those before arriving at the park, so why would we need them in the app? What I really wanted was a search feature on the map so we could easily locate nearby places without scrolling through tons of lists. Or at least a list of all the food vendors that accepted the all-day dining wristband. A coupon came up in the app for a BOGO funnel cake. We then spent an hour wandering the park, looking for a location that sold funnel cakes. Why not list the locations on the coupon (or better yet, link it to the map)? This app could be so much better if it focused more on user functionality with an interactive map rather than on advertising and ticket sales. The people using the app generally already have tickets! Cedar Point takes in the tourist cash—you’d think they could afford to hire a skilled app developer. The website needs improved to include more useful information, too, because once again all of the FAQs focus on sales rather than actual park information.

Update: omg I love this app! Granted, I get Fast Lane Plus every Time I visit, so wait times etc are not an important feature for me. The picture thing took two seconds to complete the first time I visited this season. Cedar point staff are so efficient! I worried I wouldn’t be able to use my barcode to get into the parking lot the first time since I didn’t yet have my pic for the summer pass, but that went smoothly as well - gate opened right up. Got to parking spot, used “mark my spot” feature, which absolutely came in handy on my way back. Now on the map itself, you can filter by coasters, thrills, restaurants, kid stuff, whatever. Using the map was a bit of a learning curve, but it’s so awesome. You just turn your phone until the arrow thing indicating your current location points to where you want to go, and then start walking. The attraction locations marked on the map are helpfully the entrances to each ride…. Yeah I’d never choose to navigate cedar point without this app. One negative is if you prefer to take in the park and keep your head out of the phone - the app can’t help you there! Old review: I tried to add a picture to the season pass purchase but the app had a bug and wouldn’t let me. So I’ll have to add the pic at the park. I tried using app feedback but those questions were about my visit and I haven’t arrived yet. Wanted to let you know in case you’d actually like to sell passes using this app?!?

Ride times were not updated well. The ride wait time icon color NEEDS to be changed because it blends in with the background so I had to have my phone like 3 inches from my face and stair at it for 5 to 10 seconds just to try and read what the wait time was per ride. In order to see ride times I had to be in the park which I was and I think four or five times the app told me I wasn’t in the park when I was looking so that bug needs to be fixed. Wouldn’t load easily sometimes things I clicked wouldn’t load at all for me or my dad and we have different cell services. Don’t know if anything could be done about that but it would be nice if something could be done about that but not necessarily the app’s fault.

The app is good, but just needs a few tweaks to improve it. First thing to update are the descriptions of the rides. We need actual info not flowery language describing the ride. People carry bags, so state whether there is a box at the top of the ride or a locker system. Then state where the box or locker is located. A link to explain the locker process would be helpful. Second, the find a restroom feature should have the guided walk feature like the rides do, so that if you select a restroom it will show you the route. Third, the restaurants need actual menus with prices and ingredients, so you can decide whether you could eat at a specific spot due to allergies, dietary restrictions, or money if you’re a teen. Third, the wait times aspect is fairly accurate, but you should not have to login to check wait times. There have been several improvements made in the park and on the app. I’m encouraged to see what will be added next.

My stay at breakers great, the park was ok. It would be better knowing where to find things. But worst of all we spent extra money and spent a lot of time trying to find the meals and Snacks on our premium meal plan. Waited in line only to fine they don’t take it? Or wait online only to find out the food you wanted isn’t on the plan. And where are the snacks? Take a picture of the maps located all over! They don’t tell you what’s open or what’s available on the plan. 3/4 of the day my wife found a guy with a brochure that had the info we have been looking and asking for all day! He didn’t want to give it up said take a picture my wife was like I came to a thrill park I didn’t carry the phone with me. Not to mention a lot of the places were closed, serval rides were closed to. This app needs this info and way to fine your plan what is on it and what it available at the location. Also are rude down for the day or short period, can we get alerts when ride stores and vendors open? Also paid for funpix. Some of the kiosks were working again what a shame. No signs machine unlocked. Not signs saying closed. These add-on seemed like a scam! Good idea if things worked, you had info, store were open, but, instead let’s keep you wasting your time and enjoyment by playing scavenger hunt.

I feel like this can be a great app for when visiting cedar point. I have a few ideas that I think could improve the app. 1. Make it so you can see wait times while out of the park - this way people who commute over 30 minutes can decide if they want to go based on wait times 2. On the interactive map make it so when you click on an attraction include a POV that can be viewed - allows people who aren’t regulars at the park to decide what they want to ride if it’s a busy and only at the park for 1 day 3. Make a tab just for the season pass that shows all add-ons and not just the meal plan 4. Add a feature that shows how populated the park is on a given day by adding trackers at the entrance and exits of the park to allow people a knotted option to determine if they want to go based on wait times 5. Add exclusives to the app to entice people to download the app 6. Add live video like from the website and add behind the scene exclusive videos from in the park 7. Release news about the park on the app like a blog I hope that some of these ideas get taken into consideration to help progress the app and what I feel make it more enjoyable for enthusiasts and the general public.

Good app but needs better improvement. It has a visit counter for the number of times you go to the Park in your season pass section. But it doesn’t update the number unless you delete your season pass and then add it again after each visit. Please fix this so we can keep better track of our visits. Add season pass to iOS wallet still is not working either.

I honestly do not understand who the creators of this app were considering when they designed it. Apart from “wait times”, nothing that guests in the park actually need or want are built into the features. No information on when the rides or attractions open &/or close, what the rules around baggage are, no ability to tap into restaurants, the search bar was not providing results, and while trying to scroll through attractions, the list constantly glitched and changed the order. The one useful feature of the “wait times” doesn’t even work unless you’re in the park. I’m not sure why halloweekend activities weren’t linked into the app. I completely gave up on even using it while I was at the park this weekend. It’s a great concept, but there is a ton of room for improvements

I love the coasters and rides of other sorts! This place is always BOOMING, meaning longer lines and other things, yet it still makes it fun to ride coasters even though it freaks me out (Pipe Scream, etc.) but also thrills me. Snoopy Land also gives nostalgia and it makes me happy seeing things like Linus’ Beetle Bugs! I like everything about the place and I believe thousands upon thousands can agree, yet some may disagree, but it’s a good place to get things off of your mind! My favorites might be the Woodstock’s Express, Linus’ Beetle Bugs and Monster, but these are only three of the many I love.

This app is great for what it is intended for, I would love to see a few improvements however. 1. CP, if you could please add an option for your users to sort your coaster waiting time list, that would be awesome! Say for example my top 3 favorites are the Millennium, the Dragster, and the Maverick. I would like to be able to put them on the very top of the list for easy, fast, viewing. Or I could sort them by area if I wanted to. Right now they’re just in alphabetical order, and of course the park or my preferences are not. 2. I’ve noticed that your advertised waiting times are not always up-to-par with what the wait time is at the front of the entrance, and that sign is always generally accurate. Perhaps the person at the front of the queue should be updating the app (if they are not already). In general, the app doesn’t update as frequently as the sign entrance does. That’s all I can think of as of right now, I will update if I think of anything further. Otherwise, great idea for a great app!

The map is nice, but adding inaccurate wait times to the app is much worse than not having them. The app showed 10 min(!) for Steel Vengeance most of the day, while the true wait times were 90+. Much better to trust the signs by each ride entrance than the app. If they gave ride operators the ability to update the app that would be great, but apparently it can only be updated centrally, and they have to call each ride before they can update! When we talked to the folks working SteVe they said they hadn’t been called yet all day.

Cedar Point is great. The app is abysmal. Zero intuitiveness. I’m signed in, my info is saved. In what universe does it make sense to need to manually enter all my ticketing and personal information every time I want to make a reservation? This is all saved on your app—you don’t have issues using it to sell for marketing, why can’t you use it to fill in the stupid form!? FunPix is a scam and a half. Very few rides actually have the pictures. Swing and a miss on this app. Pathetic. Pa-thet-ic! The app is worse than Shoot the Rapids ride! You know, the one that tipped over and almost drowned all those people? Yeah, the app is worse than that.

The app is nice for navigating around the park. But completely useless if you want to use it for ride wait times. Many of the roller coasters would say that it was a 5 or 10 min wait. Then when we got to the ride, it would actually be a 45 min to an hour wait. Even while standing in line the app would still say 5 or 10 min wait. Cedar point obviously fails big time with this feature. Or or else they are intentionally trying to make you think the wait times are way less than they really are just to get you there. Total BS.

The ride wait times on the app are not accurate at all. Steel Vengeance said 30 minute wait on the app, when we got back to the start of the queue they said 1 hour (which we were willing to wait anyways). We ended up waiting 2 hours in total, and the app still said 20 minute wait when we got off. This is the worst example of the day, but we also had similar experiences with Maverick, Millennium Force, and Gemini which were the only big rides we even got to ride because we tried to use the app to plan our day and we’re screwed up every time. Lesson learned!

I saved my season pass to wallet and I open it in iwatch and can be scanned everywhere (parking gates good drinks discounts)my dining and drink plan are built in so I can go to all cedar fair parks without my wallet or phone it stays in the car.... I feel like James Bond and no one has seen this when they scan watch.. I have used it for 2 years now so it’s not new I do bring 20$ cash just in case but I don’t use it. I call it HANDS FREE AT THE PARK because u literally are hands free.. car has keypad and I leave keys in car.. and my iwatch 4 accepts phone calls on its own cell service no Bluetooth iPhone connection needed.. sooooooo coool !!!!!! Panda Express!!!!!

Pretty much only thing this app is good for is the map of the park. The wait times are so wrong continuously, I’m not even sure why they have them on the app...completely useless. App showed a 30 minute wait for Maverick the entire time we waited in line for an hour. Showed an hour wait for Gatekeeper, was on in 15 minutes. Not sure how they update the wait times, but the system they are using isn’t working. Don’t plan your rides around the app wait times or you will be disappointed.

I used the app for ride wait times which seemed to be pretty accurate. No issue w that aspect of app. Also had directions to each ride in case u got lost. The only improvements I would add to the app is the fastpass wait time and some way to mark off which rides u have gone on. With so many rides it was kind of hard to keep track of the ones I went on.

This app is the vain of my existence! Every time I try to use it it crashes and I end up having to use the regular site on safari (which is confusing and annoying as well). When I leave the park and want to come back in by showing my season pass, I try to pull it up and it crashes a good 2-3 times before it pulls it up. I’ve just screenshot my pass instead. I have 7 family members passes on my account, but if u think I’d be able to pull them up at any given moment you’d be wrong. Smh And the health screening on here crashes as well. This app is useless.

This Wednesday we went to cedar point with the app. This was easy to use and showed the wait times on the rides. They also provided a map too if we weren’t close to the located maps around the actual park. This is a MUST use app for families and a easy way to get in with YOUR tickets.

App is almost useless for season pass holders. Reservations are a major hassle to do in the app. You still have to copy and paste and add info each time you reserve a date even though your pass and the app are supposedly linked. You do not actually need the app for anything. The exact same functions are available on the main site. This app is basically just a shortcut to access the main site. Waste of space on your phone. This is an embarrassment cedar point. Do better!!!!

You need to download this app before you go to Cedar Point! It gives you a map of the park as well as the wait times for all of the rides. It is awesome because even if the lines are always short and/or you have fast passes, it also tells you if the ride is down for maintenance or whatever... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP!

Getting around the park is easier with the map. However, I can’t find the hotels to click on and get directions. So, I chose a food service place that I happen to know is in the hotel and go to that. The dotted line gets you there but is frequently not the shortest route. The ride monitor is terrible. It says rides are closed when they are not and the ride time is not to be trusted!

As an avid Cedar Point attendee, I do not need the map and such. The best perk of this app for me is the ride wait times, but they are often wrong. For instance, today they list most rides as 0 minute wait time, so we head that way only to find an hour on several of them. This is a huge potential benefit, so it is something that needs to be fixed.

My biggest issues with this app are: 1. All of the site markers are the same color, including your location. It can be difficult to find your position on the map because it blends in with all the other markers. 2. When viewing the map, none of the rides (or other sites) are labeled. You need to click on each item to see what it is. 3. When looking at the list of rides, you can click on them for a description and photo, which is good. There is no way to then have that ride displayed on the map for easily locating it. 4. The ride wait times were always longer than indicated by the app. If it said 45 minutes, we sometimes waited 75. This may just be a need for more frequent updates.

Why do we need to be “in the park” to see ride times? Show them to everyone. Let us see what rides are open and closed and what waits are so we can accurately decide if it’s a good day to go to the park or not. The fact that you hide it from us shows just how bad your already ridiculous corporate greed has gotten. I’ve had season passes most of my life. Never again. I won’t give cedar point my money anymore, they’ve lost touch with their actual customers.

This is the worse app ever!!!! Completely controlled by the park. I don’t believe a time they quote. You have to be at the park to see the rides times...aka all of our ride times are long we don’t want you to know it. You have to pay to get in the park and then we will let you know how much money you spent for nothing. Been going here for 50 years. Still run like a small unprofessional company they have been for ever. Grow up cedar point!

Hi I am a gold pass holder and try to use the park as much as my personal time allows. That said The app is nice. Could you please add your web cams or a link to the Cedar Point app. I believe that would have your costumers checking the app more often, anytime of year even in the off season.

I'm using this platform as well as all others i can to express my disappointment in cedar point's bs fast pass. Don't make the mistake i did spending almost 700$ on 4 admissions + fast pass. Drove all the way from Kansas City M.O. Had one day to do the park on a Tuesday. Did manage to get all the roller coasters we wanted too, but that was it, and feel like we coulda rode all the same with or without Fp. Basically Fp maybe saved an hour out of a 12hr day.

I got excited when they said you could track the wait times in the app, but whenever we’d get to a ride based on a faster wait time, it would always be wrong and usually 2-3x slower than what the app said. SUGGESTION: add a feature that allows park guests to submit updated times as they visit each ride. Might be a little more efficient and user-friendly that way.

When I try to create an account, it says “password does not match the one on the account”. When I try to put in my email to let me change my password, it says “internal server error”. I’m going to Cedar Point on September 29th so I need this fixed ASAP!

back in my day we used to have park maps made from paper. the map on this app is so bare bones that you can't even us it to find your way around the park. not only is the cell service and free wifi in the park so awful that the app barely works, but the wait times are never accurate. went all the way across the park to ride gatekeeper because it said 15 minute wait, when i got there the sign in front said 45 minutes. the app still said 15 minutes. about halfway through the queue, the app updated to say 60 minutes. the wait was 25 minutes. the only good feature about this app is the fact that you can see which rides are down, which isn't even reliable half the time.

DOWNLOAD THIS NOW if you are NEW to the park!!! If you have been there before, I would not recommend it as it has too much advertising and pushes you more towards buying crap you already have or don’t need. Please CP quit the advertising and make more features that people would use, such as a favorite button for rides.

I had to get a new phone and I downloaded the app and now it won’t let me add my season passes on the app… so I did the app update and it won’t allow me to add the season passes to the app still! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’ve tried to upload them with the physical card and with the app on my old phone. Please fix!!!

The wait time feature was not even close to accurate. And don’t even get me started on the map. It seems like a great idea, you search for what you are looking for, and it shows you a dotted line path. But the gps location didn’t update and it didn’t show any landmarks to help you orient yourself. 90% of the time I started off in the exact wrong direction. Maybe it was me,but I don’t think so.

The app could have been great....but they opted for buggy and redundant instead. You’ll have to put in your season pass info into the app, even though you are signed in already and have already added the pass on the desktop website. The focus is you spending money instead of being an actually beneficial tool. With covid battering their income, you’d think someone there would be slightly smart and make a GOOD reservation system. It’s trash though.

The reported line times are hilariously inaccurate. One ride with a very long line was reporting a 0-minute wait all day. Most other actual wait times were about double what the app reported on average. The app only tells you line times when you’re located in the park, and about half the time it didn’t recognize I was here, so it wouldn’t report any line times at all. Good thing I wasn’t missing out on too much!

Not sure if it is the app or the park staff but the wait times are constantly wrong as stated on the many other reviews. It is great for planning out how to get to the next place but the wait time issue is a big one. Another feature idea would be to allow individuals to track which rides they have ridden. Helpful app that needs a little tender love and care to make it a great app.

Having the map was really helpful, and it was really great being able to filter the types of features the map displays. The waiting times were not very accurate, but from what I experienced they were typically shorter than what the app estimated. Over all worth downloading but could be better

I write this standing in a 2 hour line for Steel Vengeance, and the app says there is no wait. They also started test rides when the ride was supposed to open, and it took about an hour. Half the rides are closed today, yet they invited the same amount of people into the park, which makes wait times even worse.

It helps you find everything you need! It’s setup nicely and easy to use! As far as ride times go, they are usually wrong! Says 40 mins when it’s only 10, says 15 when it’s clearly like an hour, says closed when open...needs fixed! More frequent updating would be useful!

I’ve been to Cedar Point over 14 times this season and this app has made my experience even better, offering me ride wait times, the park map, halloweekends events, and more. 100% recommend if considering visiting the park

Basically none of the venues inside the park accept  Pay, and this app doesn’t support adding your season pass to the iOS Wallet app, meaning I have to carry a physical card around with me in a park where things like to fly out of pockets. This is likely because Cedar Fair makes tons of cash selling replacement passes. Lord knows they have the funds to hire a developer to implement these basic features.

Now that they are cashless and I can store my passes on my watch it would be nice if you could get this app to see wait times!!! Other than that great app but I don’t take my phone in park

Tried to keep all my tickets together in the app; but, it would not accept my order number and email to include them in the app. So, had to use my email to present tickets at gate. Frustrating!

Cedar Point is amazing! The roller coasters are on another level. This app doesn’t live up to there amazing standards. It is all but terrible. The ride wait time feature is really why this app exists and I found it wrong more times than not. The graphics are also terrible. Vail sky resorts has this kind of app down. Cedar Point you should look at what they are doing.

Can you create an Apple Watch interface so I can leave my phone in the car? Second can you make it easier to share passes? I would to have my pass on my phone, and my wife’s pass on hers.

Gives me everything I need! Wait times are accurate enough and all roller coasters show up on the map! I just wish wait times would show when I’m AWAY from Cedar Point!

App is pretty much useless. Most of the site is to pitch for add ons. The main feature I wanted was wait times. The wait times listed vs the actual wait times was consistently off by 30-40 minutes. If the wait time says 30 minutes, expect it to be 60 minutes plus.

The only thing you spell about this app is I can help you figure out how to get to rise, which you could just as easily do with the paper map. The other thing is you can tell if a ride is open or closed generally speaking. The wait times are all wrong all the time. This is based on multiple trips of being attention to the app versus the time at the entrance. Really dumb.

The app is ok for the most part, however as a frequent park goer of all Cedar Fair parks, I find it weird and aggravating that I have to download 10 apps for each park. Why not build a Cedar Fair Parks app with all the parks integrated similar to the SixFlags app? I mean I will happily create it if need be.
