SANDUSKY, Ohio — Editor's note: Video in the player at the top of this story features a front-seat ride on the Steel Vengeance roller coaster at Cedar Point.
With opening day just a few weeks away, Cedar Point is now offering a new season pass option for $99 known as the Summer Pass.
This 2022 Summer Pass season ticket offers unlimited visits to Cedar Point with free parking through Labor Day on Sept. 5. The Summer Pass, however, does not include access to the Cedar Point Shores waterpark or discounts available through the park’s other season passes.
"The new Cedar Point Summer Pass allows us to provide an option for guests who are interested in visiting Cedar Point only," park spokesperson Tony Clark tells 3News.
How does the new Summer Pass compare to Cedar Point’s other season pass options? Here’s a closer look…
Gold Pass
Cedar Point’s popular Gold Pass, which is now listed at $135, offers guests unlimited access to Cedar Point, its waterpark, free parking, various discounts and early entry for the entire 2022 season. The Gold Pass, which first launched in the summer of 2019, was initially sold for $99.
Platinum Pass
The highest-tier ticket is the Platinum Pass for $230, which includes admission and parking at all Cedar Fair parks across the country for all of 2022. In addition to early entry and various discounts, those with a Platinum Pass can also get a Fast Lane Plus upgrade with the purchase of a standard Fast Lane.
Cedar Point, which opens for the 2022 season on Saturday, May 7, is also going cashless this year. We break down how the new cashless system will work at Cedar Point with everything you need to know HERE.
