There should be a few threads that already have tips for both parks.

Stay at the Breaker's Express, get a CP brochure from the website, ride MF and TTD (alot), if u go with a friend or two, race each other on Gemini (and choose the Blue side) it is a blast. And eat at the McDonald's outside of the park, the park food is way to expensive.

For Hershey, head back to Midway America and ride Lightning Racer, Roller Soaker, Wildcat, and Wild Mouse. From there, just head back towards the front of the park. For food, eat at Formans Texas Grill in Pioneer Frontier near Trail Blazer.

It's a HUGE (and I mean huge) Christian fesival. Traffic is going to be horrific.

I went to Hershey on Wensday, and suprisingly, it was not packed. I guess the locals got scared away.

Make a giant loop at cedar point. Head toward Wicked Twister first thing and then Power Tower and hit corkscrew next, then magnum, then gemini, the mean streak, then get on the CP & LE Railroad toward MF midway, ride MF and then Mantis then get on TTD (if running) head toward the front and ride Raptor ans then ride Blue Streak. It will save you tons of walking and plus riding the bigger rides at night like MF, Mantis, and Raptor makes it less of a wait. Personal experience rides wait are 2 hours or less after 6 cause everyone is eatting and around 9 many people are getting ready to leave then.

Definitley take your time at CP. If you're taking in all the coasters don't think you have to rush, because you don't. Hersheypark is a great place. Don't wait for Roller Soaker if it's over and hour. Not worth it!!!
