Cedar Point’s Fast Lane Passes: Clarifying Access to Top Thrill 2
Cedar Point, the renowned amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, has recently addressed concerns regarding the accessibility of its new roller coaster, Top Thrill 2, for Fast Lane Plus season passholders.
In early February 2024, an update to the Cedar Point app suggested that Fast Lane Plus holders would have limited access to Top Thrill 2, specifically one-time access per visit.
This led to confusion among guests who had purchased the all-season Fast Lane Plus pass, which traditionally offers unlimited access to all Fast Lane attractions.
The Miscommunication
The discrepancy arose when the Cedar Point app description for the Fast Lane Plus season pass was updated to state: “Includes one-time access to Top Thrill 2 per visit.” This was a significant departure from the previous policy, where season passholders enjoyed unlimited access to all Fast Lane attractions.
Guests who had purchased the $950 Fast Lane Plus season pass, valid for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, were understandably concerned that their investment would not provide the expected benefits.
Cedar Point’s Response
Upon recognizing the error, Cedar Point promptly addressed the situation. A Cedar Point spokesperson confirmed that the app update was a mistake and assured guests that the original policy remained intact.
The Fast Lane Plus season pass continues to grant unlimited access to Top Thrill 2, as well as all other Fast Lane attractions, including Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Millennium Force, Valravn, and the newly introduced Siren’s Curse.
Understanding Fast Lane and Fast Lane Plus
Cedar Point offers two primary Fast Lane options:
Fast Lane: Priced from $95, this pass allows guests to bypass regular lines on 22 attractions, including popular rides like Magnum XL-200, Raptor, and Rougarou.
Fast Lane Plus: Starting at $120, this enhanced pass includes all the benefits of the standard Fast Lane, plus access to additional major attractions such as Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Millennium Force, Valravn, and Siren’s Curse. Notably, Fast Lane Plus also provides unlimited access to Top Thrill 2 for season passholders.
Vouchers
For guests seeking flexibility, Cedar Point has introduced Single Use Fast Lane vouchers. These can be purchased through the Cedar Point mobile app or at select kiosks within the park.
Single Use Fast Lane vouchers allow guests to bypass regular lines for specific attractions on a per-ride basis, offering a convenient option for those not interested in an all-day or all-season pass.
Conclusion
Cedar Point’s commitment to providing an exceptional guest experience remains steadfast. The recent app update was an unintended error, and the park has taken swift action to correct the information.
Guests who have purchased the Fast Lane Plus season pass can continue to enjoy unlimited access to Top Thrill 2 and all other Fast Lane attractions without concern.
Cedar Point encourages guests to stay informed through official channels, including the Cedar Point website and mobile app, for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding park offerings and policies.
