What is a Fast Lane Pass
A Fast Lane pass gives riders access to a separate line, where riders can get to the front of the line much quicker than regular lines (for select rides).
Once a Fast Lane pass has been purchased, riders will be given a wristband that will signify to park staff, that you have access to the Fast Lane line.
Throughout the line, there will be various checkpoints where you will need to show your wristband to park staff, and ride operators. These checkpoints are normally in the beginning of the line, and ride before boarding the ride.
Daily Price Changes
Prices aren't the same for each day, and are typically more expensive on the weekends.
You'll want to click through the Fast Lane Calendar to see the different pricing options available.
Is It Included With Admission?
No. A Fast Lane pass is an additional cost and visitors will still need a Cedar Point ticket in order to access the park.
In short, you are not able to use a Fast Lane pass without an admission ticket.
Fast Lane vs Fast Lane Plus
While Fast Lane allows you to skip the line of most rides that Cedar Point offers, Fast Lane Plus allows you to skip the line for all of the rides in the park.
This includes the ultra popular rides Maverick, Millennium Force, Steel Vengeance & Valravn.
