Cedar Point announces new experiences for 2022 season

        As Cedar Point continues to build upon its multi-day destination offerings and vision, the park is preparing for the upcoming season by introducing completely renovated and transformed hotel properties, new dining options and the implementation of new touchless transaction technology.
        Some of the new experiences coming to Cedar Point in 2022 include:
        The Farmhouse Kitchen & Grill.
        As Cedar Point continues to elevate the dining experience throughout the park, the new Farmhouse Kitchen & Grill is the latest addition to the dining lineup. Located in the heart of Frontier Town, it will serve a variety of handmade options, including roasted corn ribs, house-made chili, char-roasted flank steak with chimichurri, roasted seasonal vegetables, hushpuppies, cast iron brownie a la mode and more. The Farmhouse Kitchen & Grill will also serve a rotating featured item prepared by the park’s culinary team.
        The new outdoor seating spaces surrounding The Farmhouse Kitchen & Grill will provide panoramic views of Frontier Town, with Maverick, Town Square, Mine Ride, Skyhawk and the shops of Frontier Town in the distance. A new stage will feature a variety of entertainment at select times throughout the summer.
        Derby Dogs & Coasters Drive-In
        With the thrill of racing on the historic Cedar Downs Racing Derby right next door, guests can celebrate victory with custom hot dog creations at the new Derby Dogs. The menu features a choice of jumbo or footlong all-beef hot dogs, a trio of mini hot dogs, or Italian sausage, with custom topping choices of bacon, onions, chili, sauerkraut, avocado halves, cole slaw, jalapenos, tomatoes, shredded cheeses and more.
        Over at Coasters Drive-In, one of the park’s most popular dining locations, an interior transformation will debut this season. Improved for enhanced speed of service, Coasters Drive-In will serve hand-made burgers and milkshakes, complete with a toppings bar for a variety of custom combinations. Coasters Drive-In will also feature rotating sandwich and salad specials with a nod to the diner’s old school theme.
        Celebrate Cedar Point Parade & Spectacular
        Cedar Point’s legacy and history will be visually showcased in the Celebrate Cedar Point Parade & Spectacular. Featuring 12 massive floats that highlight landmarks or significant moments in the park’s history, the multi-sensory parade will travel up and down the Main Midway, pausing occasionally as characters and performers interact and dance with guests. In addition to the parade, a Cedar Point-sized party will take place in Celebration Plaza with an immersive stage show complete with live performers, special effects, vibrant costumes and larger-than-life pyrotechnics.
        The Celebrate Cedar Point Parade & Spectacular will run June 24-Aug. 14.
        PEANUTS® @ The Point
        The former Snoopy® Boutique along the Main Midway will be reintroduced as PEANUTS @ The Point, a themed shopping spot featuring exclusive PEANUTS wearables, collectibles and park-exclusive PEANUTS merchandise. From sweatshirts to soft, plush iterations of the world’s most famous beagle, Snoopy, PEANUTS @ The Point will have something for every fan of the revered comic strip characters.
        Going cashless
        This season, Cedar Point will be exclusively cashless for all transactions within the park and its surrounding properties. The cashless transactions are safe, quick and will significantly improve the guest experience at dining, retail and point-of-sale spots throughout the park. Guests who bring cash to the park can convert it into a prepaid debit card that can be used anywhere – not just inside the park – with no fees.

        Summer events return
        Kicking off the unofficial start to summer, Frontier Festival returns May 26-June 19. This street festival in Frontier Town is a celebration of hope, health and harvest, with live bands, games for the family, character entertainment and more than 20 hand-crafted menu items to taste. Craft brews, spiked seltzers and signature cocktails will complement the wide variety of Frontier Festival foods.
        Cedar Point Nights returns to the famous mile-long Cedar Point Beach July 29-Aug. 21. The nighttime glow beach party features larger-than-life games, live entertainment and an immersive lakeside dining experience.
        Daily tickets
        Right now, Cedar Point daily admission tickets are just $45 (plus applicable taxes and fees) when purchased online. Guests are encouraged to visit the Cedar Point website throughout the season, where the best price on daily park tickets will be found. However, the best value for an entire season of fun is the 2022 Cedar Point Gold Pass, offering admission to Cedar Point and Cedar Point Shores Waterpark, free parking, discounts, Early Entry and additional perks for $135 (plus applicable taxes and fees).
        Castaway Bay by Cedar Point Resorts
        Located just off of the Cedar Point Peninsula, the all-new Castaway Bay indoor waterpark hotel is scheduled to open in May. From exterior colors and styling to the carpets up to the ceiling, the finishing touches are being put on the entire resort, with new surprises for families to explore.
        On each floor, the themes of land, sea and air connect seamlessly to guest rooms, hallways and interior spaces. A cast of animal characters will be along for the adventure, including Gordy the sea turtle and his many friends.
