Welcome to our interview series where bloggers share their insights on dining when at Cedar Point! Henry, from Coaster Chit Chat, recently visited Cedar Point, so we asked him to write us a review on the dining experience when at the park.
1) When was the last time you visited the park? August 6th with some friends
2) Who do you typically visit the park with? I normally visit the park with some friends, some family, or I will go by myself. I just started my blog, and I realize I need to do a better job doing some updates about Cedar Point updates and work out some kinks.
3) Do you bring any food/drink into the park? No. I rather would have one less thing to worry about.
4) Do you take part in any of the meal plans (single, all-day, or all-season)? All-Season
4a) If you did, what were the pros and cons? Pros: It was a cheaper option to buy food since I visit the park 4-5 times, and I normally spend about $40 dollars per visit. So the Season Dining Pass is a cheaper option ($72 is a really good deal). Also, the food options are good. Cons: Not a lot of the star restaurants are featured like Chickie’s and Pete’s.
5) What is your must have food when visiting the park? 1)The Crabfries at Chickie’s and Pete’s; they are so good! I do not mind paying the hefty price for them. 2) The Fresh Cut Fries with Chili and Cheese! They are so good and with the Chili and Cheese; they make it better!
6) Are there any food items you would not eat again and why? 1) The Panda Express food. OK, I am a bit biased, as I am Chinese, but the food there is not up to “Chinese” food standards. 2) Funnel Cake Fries. Too much oil and not enough powdered sugar. They are hot though, which is nice.
7) Do you/your family have any money saving tips for eating in the park? Buy the all-day/single meal dining pass. They save you so much money and it is a good bang for your buck!
8) What is one thing you would request to make your dining experience better? I would like to say lower the prices, but it is an amusement park and what do you expect? Big prices.
9) On average, how much do you spend to eat per visit? I used to spend about $40 for food, but now with the season long dining pass, I spend about $15-$20.
10) Are there any other theme/amusement parks food items that you would like to see at Cedar Point? Not really. I think Cedar Point is really well rounded with food and rides. I would just like to say that they need a RMC woodie coaster!
