Cedar Point bets on season passes with $105 gate price

Last year, Cedar Point beefed up its roller coaster offerings. This year, it's beefing up its price.

State of play: The Sandusky amusement park opens for the season Saturday with its at-the-gate exceeding $100 for the first time ever.

The walk-up price of $105 is up from $90 last year, making a $99 season silver pass more enticing.
You can also save online, where single-day admission starts at $52.

Flashback: The 2025 season was all about the addition of the Siren's Curse roller coaster and the Top Thrill 2 reopening.

Cedar Point actually has one fewer ride this year after retiring the Monster ride, which debuted in 1970.

Yes, but: The park will debut some upgrades, including VIP parking for veterans and Starbucks renovations.

It will also host a celebration of America's 250th birthday from June 29-July 4 with fireworks and specialty concessions.
