One of our family’s favorite benefits to being a season passholder at Cedar Point is early entry. One hour ahead of parking opening, select guests get access to a list of attractions before regular park guests.

Since the season pass structure was redone for the 2024 season, only Gold Pass with All Park Passport, Cedar Point Prestige Pass or Prestige Pass with All Park Passport get access to early admission. This means regular Gold Pass (and Summer Pass) guests DO NOT get early entry.

Early entry also applies to resort guests and those who dock at the marina.

Lets take a look at the rides to be included in the Early Entry list.

HalloWeekends List:

– Atomic Scrambler
– GateKeeper
– Kiddy Kingdom (select rides)
– Matterhorn
– Millennium Force
– Troika
– Valravn
– Wild Mouse

Regular Season List:

– Atomic Scrambler
– Calypso
– GateKeeper
– Iron Dragon
– Kiddy Kingdom (select rides)
– Matterhorn
– Millennium Force
– Wild Mouse

We fully expect most of the early entry guests will not be heading to any of these attractions and be queueing for the new Top Thrill 2 roller coaster, depending on how they corral people prior to park opening.

Just like prior years, the Magnum gate is reserved for resort guests during early entry hours. The Valravn entrance is reserved for marina guests. And the front entrance is for everyone else.
