Just edit the post o.o


Anyhoo, as long as you go during the week and early (May or June) you can do CP and KI in a day each easy. Just remember they are five hours apart. Holiday World and Kentucky Kingdom are pretty far apart as well, and... SFOG? I... don't get where you are coming/heading towards

You need 5 days total to get CP and KI done in my opinion, including the driving time. 3 FULL Days at CP, and 1.5 days at KI.

Agreed with that. CP defiantly takes about three days to get everything in. Can't really speak for KI as I have only drove past it on my way to CP last summer

KI needs a bit more than a day I think, just to get extra rides on the Beast and now Banshee!

^ Crowds wise, yes, but you still want as much time at both parks as possible.

If you go to CP (and I've timed this) early entry included, early weekday (even better end of may or late August while school is still in) 9am-10pm operating schedule you can ride every single ride in the park including the kiddy rides (I timed this by the cycle after the last person in line when I passed the queue, felt like a total creeper but SCIENCE) by 5pm at the latest. Early entry Gatekeeper or Raptor is walk on - 3 trains, (time 9:20) walk to MF 15min wait (9:45) walk Maverick around the opening of the park usually 30 min wait (10:30) TTD 45min (11:25) everything after that has longer walk times than wait times. IF you have early entry and everything is running on time, there is no reason during an early weekday it should take longer than 2pm to ride every coaster in the park once. All that changes with GP opening though.




Also. It may be better to fly and rent a car for the way back. I go from Cleveland to Orlando like all the time with tickets costing $160 dollars at most roundtrip. I have a season pass to Busch and universal haha. it's a two hour flight, if you can squeeze it in, you can leave Cleveland, head to Erie for Waldameer and hit Pittsburgh for Kennywood before heading to CP.

If you are from Florida, more than anything you need to go to Kennywood. If you've never been to the mountains, these coaster are unimaginable.

And if you are a coaster riding driving God, you can land early in Cleveland, drive to Kennywood in Pittsburgh, then head up to NY for the night, hit Martin's Fantasy Island then Darien Lake for the night. Backtrack in the morning to Waldameer on the way to Cedar Point get there early evening, get those night rides in and stay on property for early entry. (or cheaper off site with a platinum pass). Including the day you land, it should add a day and at least 17 adult coasters to your trip as well as including an additional six legendary coasters:

Darien Lake: Ride of Steel, Viper
Waldameer Park: Ravine Flyer II #6 wooden coaster in the World by Ushsho (world coaster poll)
Kennywood: Phantom's revenge, Thunderbolt, Jackrabbit

You can definitely hit KennyWood and Waldameer, or Darien Lake, Martin's and maybe make it back in time to hit Waldameer but not all four safely. You should really add a day if you can. If you are driving this far all those parks are worth the extra trip. Not only that but enjoy the parks. There's a charm the parks up here have you just don't get in the southern parks. And omg the food!!!

well since you haven't said what that budget is and you have exact days but give vague seasonal times I don't know what you expect to get in terms of accurate feedback or tips

The reason I'm thinking about adding it is because of the cedar fair platinum pass
