<p>Thinking about buying Fast Lane at Cedar Point, but not sure if it's worth the money?In this video, I break down everything you need to know about Cedar Point's Fast Lane and Fast Lane Plus system, including which rides are included, where the merge points are located, and how much time you can realistically save throughout the day.During our most recent visit, I put Fast Lane to the test by timing actual waits on several attractions and comparing them to the posted standby wait times. The results were surprising and helped paint a clearer picture of whether Fast Lane is truly worth the extra cost.Whether you're planning your first trip to Cedar Point or you're trying to decide if Fast Lane belongs in your budget, hopefully this video helps you make that decision.Have you used Fast Lane before?
