Welcome Back for Cedar Point's Reopening 2021

When Cedar Point opens, we want you to have an awesome day and feel safe when visiting, so we developed an extensive coronavirus reopening plan – new processes and enhanced procedures throughout the park to help reduce the spread of germs. We’re all in this together and by working together you can safely and confidently enjoy the thrills and fun that only Cedar Point can deliver this season.  

This page provides you with essential information for what you will need to do before you arrive at Cedar Point, what you’ll see and experience when you arrive, and how to make the most of your visit—safely—when you get here. 

Changes from Last Season: 

• Reservations will be required for Cedar Point and Cedar Point Shores Waterpark. Both Season Passholders and Single Day Ticketholders will need reservations.  
• Temperature checks for guests have been discontinued. 
• The health screen questionnaire will be conducted by associates at all entrance gates and will not be through the Cedar Point mobile app.  
• There will be no limitations to ride capacity, and social distancing mandates are no longer in place.
• All guests age 10 and older who are not fully vaccinated are required to wear face coverings while indoors unless actively eating and drinking. Face coverings for guests who are not fully vaccinated are recommended but not required. Face coverings should completely cover the nose and mouth, and not have exhalation valves or vents, which allows virus particles to escape. 

Cedar Point and Cedar Point Shores Waterpark will open with limited capacity. You will need to purchase tickets or Season Passes online in advance for your visit, and you must make a reservation. Here are details about what to do, what to pack and what you can expect.  

While planning your trip to the park, please take a moment to self-assess for any potential COVID-19 symptoms. Please reschedule your visit for another day if you or anyone in your group has been exposed to or experienced any symptoms of COVID-19 within the past 10 days.

Our opening plan calls for new arrival processes to prepare everyone for a safe and successful day at the park. Here’s what you’ll see and experience when you arrive at Cedar Point: 

1. At the Cedar Point parking tollbooth, we will ask you for proof of parking payment. If you do not have a parking voucher, you may pay with a cashless payment method such as a credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. 
2. As you approach park entrance gates, you will be asked to confirm that no one in your party has been exposed to or experienced any symptoms of COVID-19 within the past 10 days. If your group does not pass the health assessment, we will ask you to reschedule your visit to a different date. 
3. At the gates, our Cedar Point bag policy remains in place.  
4. At our touchless turnstiles, scan your Season Pass or single day ticket inside the mobile app and let the fun begin!  
    

For everyone’s safety, all associates working in the park must complete a health screening each day before reporting to work. We’re all in this together!

You’re here and that means it’s time for fun! To help you enjoy your day, here’s what you’ll see and experience inside the park.
