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.

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.

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!!!!!

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!

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.
