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 :)

Fast Lane Buyup fee:
1 guest: $55
2 guests: $50pp
3 guests: $45pp
4 guests: $40pp
5 guests: $30pp (Contact CP to buy this option and note that it's cheaper to buy for 5 people than for 4!)

Limited passes are sold per day and you can reserve in advance.

Eligible rides:
-Blue Streak
-Cadillac Cars
-Corkscrew
-Dodgem
-Gemini
-Giant Wheel
-Magnum XL-200
-Maverick
-maXair
-Mean Streak
-Millennium Force
-Power Tower
-Raptor
-Shoot the Rapids
-Top Thrill Dragster
-WindSeeker

The bolded rides typically have waits up to 2 hours.

Regular admission is $49, but there are various discounts to drop the price down to the $30-$40 range.
Wow, massive markups this year  :(

Fastpass excluding Gatekeeper and Top Thrill Dragster:
1 guest: $65
2 guests: $60pp
3 guests: $55pp
4+ guests: $50pp


Including Gatekeeper and Top Thrill Dragster:
1 guest: $80
2 guests: $75pp
3 guests: $70pp
4+ guests: $65pp

Gate admission is now $54.99, though there's an online special of $44.99 for any day this season and $34.99 for May.

Wowza.

So even with 4+ people, each one would have to fork over $110+ to get the full shebang.

You wish.
Though $34.99 May admission is pretty good.

AA still has Avios flights LGA-CLE Sunday morning-Tuesday morning.
Can catch open weekend of gatekeeper and an Indians-Yankees traditional BOGO doubleheader on Monday.

Somehow I think I'm talking to the wall with these posts :D
