I am going to CP for my first time on Sunday August 3rd. My original plan for vacation was to go out there on a Tuesday, but since I'm making the trip with my girlfriend and her sister is flying in from NJ to join us, we HAD to change it to Sunday. I am not happy about this.
We are staying at the Breakers Saturday and Sunday night and taking advantage of the discounted gate prices ($39) and the 1 hour early entrance.
Looking at the website a fast pass is $80!? Is that on top of the normal $60 ticket (=$140) or is it a $20 added fee? They also show an ever higher price ($140!!!!) to skip THAT line (FFS is it even worth going?).
This will probably be the only time I get out to CP, as I'm from Minnesota and the way my life has worked out I've managed one other vacation in over 20+ years of being a working stiff...
If lines are really so bad that you have to spend $140 to enjoy the park, what coasters should I focus on? I've only been to CP's sister (daughter?) park, Valleyfair, so I can skip Corkscrew (which VF should demolish, it's not that fun) and Wicked Twister (VF has a a 4' smaller version). My original thought was try to get in 3 coasters during the early hour and try to hit the rest of them throughout the day, skipping all the flatland rides.

My general feeling about any fast pass system is to only buy it if your visit will be a one day, one visit trip. For your situation, I would definitely consider it.
As for that hour early entry, if you start at the Magnum/Hotel entrance, you can definitely hit Maverick and Millennium Force, then be in line for Dragster at just as the park is opening. That's two of the big rides down and in line early for a third.

Considering that you have the ability to go every year, I would not get fast lane passes.

Should I ever go again, or to any other park that does the fast pass, I am saving extra for it.
