CP Guide has used information from past visits to produce our 2011 crowd expectations, however, we do not guarantee that the information will be accurate. The expectations are based solely on our opinions and personal experiences. There are many different reasons that could make the park more or less crowded than expected.
Please view the 2011 Cedar Point Schedule for official information and hours.
Please note that Fridays are considered the weekend.
Crowds are measured in three different categories.
Light :: Moderate :: Heavy
- Light crowds usually have short, 5 to 10 minute, waits for rides like the Iron Dragon and Disaster Transport. Rides like Top Thrill Dragster, Millennium Force, and Maverick will have anywhere from a half hour wait to an hour wait.
- Moderate crowds usually have medium, 15 to 30 minute, waits for rides like the Iron Dragon and Disaster Transport. Rides like Top Thrill Dragster, Millennium Force, and Maverick will have anywhere from a hour wait to an hour and a half wait.
- Heavy crowds usually have medium, 30 minute to 1 hour, waits for rides like the Iron Dragon and Disaster Transport. Rides like Top Thrill Dragster, Millennium Force, and Maverick will have anywhere from a 2 hour wait to 3 hour wait.
