Your Guide to Cedar Fair Early Entry

One of the best ways to get the most out of your season pass is to take advantage of early ride times. Most of the Cedar Fair parks offer some sort of early entry benefits to their season passholders. If you have a Cedar Fair Platinum Pass, you can enjoy these benefits at almost all the parks. Early entry is a great way to get on some of your favorite rides before the park opens to the general public and make the most of your time at the parks.

We’ve brought you a list of all the early entry benefits at every Cedar Fair park. Keep checking back as the parks are continuously updating rides and times during this time of the year!
