Cedar Point, one of the world's best roller coaster parks, has finally introduced a fast pass system.
Lines for the best coasters can normally take 1-2 hours and this will let you bypass those lines. You can ride unlimited times on all eligible rides in the fast lane.
If you're just going for 1 day it's probably worth it as it will allow you to try everything out. Cedar Point is 1 hour west of CLE, so just add the 6,000 AMEX/9,000 BA for the RT flight for you NYC/ORD folks to the cost of admission

1 guest: $55
2 guests: $50pp
3 guests: $45pp
4 guests: $40pp
