One of the best benefits to being a season passholder at Cedar Point (or a resort guest) is getting access to the park one hour before the gates open to day guests. Over the past couple of years, the protocols have changed and it looks like they will remain in place for the 2022 season.

A favorite tip of ours was to use the Magnum entrance for early entry. However, Cedar Point initiated that the Magnum and WindSeeker gates are only to be used by resort guests for early entry a couple years ago. As a result, all other guests need to use the main gate. This protocol will remain in place for 2022; however, keep in mind everyone can use the Magnum or WindSeeker gate after early entry has ended.

The key to planning your day effectively depends on the attractions that are included in that critical hour. Below is the scheduled rides that will open for early entry for the 2022 season.

– Dodgem
– GateKeeper
– Iron Dragon
– Kiddy Kingdom (11 rides)
– Magnum XL-200
– Matterhorn
– Millennium Force
– maXair
– Scrambler
– Valravn

As a reminder, Cedar Point decided in 2021 that Gold passholders now get in for the full hour of early entry, and that will remain in place for 2022.
