Cedar Point Parent Swap

5 Comments

CEDAR POINT PARENT SWAP – As a parent of three young boys, dispelling their energy means getting on and off of a lot of rides when visiting an amusement park. So when we were recently invited to spend a weekend at Cedar Point, it meant lots and lots of 48″ and under rides for the young ones.

However, every once in a while, a parent needs a dose of thrills, and fortunately, Cedar Point has our backs when it comes to waiting in the often long lines for the big roller coasters. That is where Parent Swap comes in.

Cedar Point Parent Swap Pass

Cedar Point Parent Swap Policy

Cedar Point offers guests with young children the opportunity to get a Parent Swap pass valid on the day of your visit. Simply visit Guest Services, the Town Hall Museum, or the Resort Entrance Gate and tell them you would like a Parent Swap pass.

After being assigned, the parent proceeds to wait in line for any of the roller coasters. The list includes:

  • Blue Streak
  • Corkscrew
  • GateKeeper
  • Gemini
  • Iron Dragon
  • Magnum XL-200
  • Mantis
  • Maverick
  • maxAir
  • Mean Streak
  • Millennium Force
  • Mine Ride
  • Pipe Scream
  • Power Tower
  • Raptor
  • Shoot the Rapids
  • Skyhawk
  • Snake River Falls
  • Thunder Canyon
  • Top Thrill Dragster
  • Wicked Twister
  • WindSeeker

The policy holder then gives the Parent Swap pass to the ride platform attendant. After exiting the ride, the other parent than returns via the Fast Lane line and retrieves the Parent Swap pass following completion of the ride.

The Parent Swap policy is in effect for the policy holder, their partner watching the children, and one guest tall enough to ride. So for example in our case, if our oldest was tall enough to ride one of the larger rides, I could proceed to ride, then exit, where my wife and oldest son could then proceed to ride together. The Parent Swap policy does not get the entire party access to the Fast Lane line.

This is a great policy for parents, allowing families the peace of mind that while their children are enjoying their day, there is no reason a parent can not as well.

What has been your experience with the Cedar Point Parent Swap pass.

My Coke Rewards Discounted Cedar Fair Tickets

Leave a comment

MY COKE REWARDS DISCOUNTED CEDAR FAIR TICKETS – Today is your last chance, at least for this flash sale, to acquire your 2014 Cedar Fair amusement park tickets for an incredible discount from My Coke Rewards (MCR). The standard Cedar Fair ticket from MCR is 1,000 points; however, during the current flash sale, guests save an incredible 75% off, by only requiring 250 points per ticket.

MCR Cedar Fair May 1, 2014 Flash Sale

Tickets are valid for a single day during regular operating hours thru Labor Day, September 1, 2014.

Tickets are valid at the following park:

  • Cedar Point
  • Cedar Point’s Soak City
  • Carowinds
  • Dorney Park
  • California’s Great America
  • Kings Dominion
  • Kings Island
  • Knott’s Berry Farm
  • Knott’s Soak City – Orange County
  • Michigan’s Adventure
  • Valleyfair
  • Wildwater Kingdom
  • Worlds of Fun

Here is the real kicker. This flash sale is only limited to one (1) per account. The idea is to make tickets available for everyone. The problem for our family is we stacked all of our points into one account in anticipation of these flash sales, which in the past were not limited.

The workaround, for possible future sales, is to open multiple accounts for your family.

Following redemption of your MCR points, you will receive an email with a unique code to claim your ticket.

1. Take digital code to www.cfparkrewards.com.
2. Scroll through the parks highlighted to desired park. Click on Park’s image.

4. Copy & paste digital code in the space provided. To redeem multiple 1-day ticket codes, click “”next”” to enter next code. Continue until all codes are entered. You may add up to 10 1-day tickets to cart using 10 separate codes. You may not place more than one MCR 2 Pack or MCR 4 Pack in your cart.
5. After entering valid code(s), click ‘Secure Checkout’
6. Click ‘Continue’
7. Enter your contact information -Note: while tab says “”credit card info,”” you are not required to enter credit card #.

• In the event that a duplicate ticket appears, the Park reserves the right to refuse entry to all ticket holders.

This promotion ends tonight at midnight, so claim your tickets now before it is too late.
