Cedar Point is a fun destination for people in Ohio, Michigan and the Midwest, in general.

Now, the Sandusky, Ohio, amusement park has lowered its price of gate admission for the first time in almost two decades.

The legendary park will charge $80 for gate admission in 2023. That's down from $85 last year. According to Cleveland.com, the gate admission was $75 in 2021. The outlet also states that the latest gate price drop was way back in 2006, when the cost of gate admission went from $44.95 to $39.95.

Cedar Point increased gate admission costs a lot coming out of the pandemic. It was a common move for many amusement parks and entertainment spots, as they tried to make up for lost revenue. In addition to the pandemic, rising gas prices and other economic factors also contributed to the price changes.

Of course, many people who visit Cedar Point don't just walk up and buy tickets. Those who go through Cedar Point's website can find tickets for as low as $49.99 for most days, according to Cleveland.com. In addition, the Cedar Point Gold Pass season tickets are $140 and come with unlimited admission to the amusement and water parks, parking and in-park discounts. For those who love thrills and big coasters, Cedar Point is always a fun stop. Check out 10 rides we miss below.
