It will cost you more money to enjoy a day at the "Best Amusement Park in the World".

Cbslocal.com brings us some sad summer news...

When Cedar Point opens for its 149th season on Saturday, May 5, 2018, a single day adult ticket purchased at the gate will cost $72, which is a $5 hike over last year’s price.

That is a pretty pricey ticket for a day of fun but it is still a great deal compared to Disney's Magic Kingdom where tickets run between $119.00 and $129.00 a day.

Never Fear, Is A Way To Get A Great Ticket Deal...

The pre-season promotion, 'Everyone Pays Kids Price' offers $45 admission for adults; that’s $27 off the front gate price. But, you need to start planning your trip now, this is a limited time offer.

Other Deals You Can Take Advantage Of...

There is also a pre-season sale on two-day admission for $70, season passes for $216, Cedar Point and Kings Island combo tickets and other deals. (The kids and seniors price remains at $45).
