Cedar Point Is Incredible… So Why Is It So Frustrating?
Cedar Point is still one of our favorite amusement parks anywhere — and its coaster lineup is almost impossible to beat. But after our latest trip to HalloWeekends, we walked away with the same question we’ve had a lot lately: why can a park this incredible also be so frustrating?In this episode, we break down the highs and lows of our most recent Cedar Point trip — from the elite coaster lineup and improved operations to ride closures, inconsistent communication, declining food quality, and some of the guest-experience issues that still need work.We also talk about what makes Cedar Point so special in the first place: the location, the resort atmosphere, camping at Lighthouse Point, and why — despite the frustrations — we always leave wanting to come back.What do you think Cedar Point gets right in 2026 — and what still needs to improve for 2027?#CedarPoint #SixFlags #rollercoaster #coasters #ThemeparksALL OF OUR RECOMMENDED GEAR:-Keep your phone CHARGED all day at the park (you'll NEED this for the digital Fast Lane) -- Anker Portable Charger: https://amzn.to/4bQKem9-Our GO-TO camera at parks that takes photo and video — Canon C50: https://amzn.to/4729svd-The cameras we use to film in-studio — Canon C70: https://amzn.to/4dsPYnn-The mics we use in-studio — Shure SM7db: https://amzn.to/470Bszq-Our on the road mics at parks — DJI Mics: https://amzn.to/4uPb7P4-The lens we use to get CLOSE UP of coasters — Canon RF 70-200: https://amzn.to/4uPb7P4-The BEST all-around lens to use at parks — Canon RF 24-70: https://amzn.to/3Pdkess-The ND Filter I use to make sure I get the crispy coaster shots — Peter McKinnon VND 2-5: https://amzn.to/4bMZtwl-Backpack that makes visiting parks easier — Nomatic McKinnon Camera Pack: https://amzn.to/3Pgr4NN-The Drone we use (not at parks lol) — Mavic Air 2: https://amzn.to/40CylKhAs an Amazon Associate, we do earn from qualifying purchases in the links above at no extra cost to you.
