either Cleveland or another airport, may include transportation by train or bus. Students may contact Amtrak www.amtrak.com or
Greyhound www.greyhound.com directly to make a reservation and check fares. As a reminder, Cedar Point is unable to provide
transportation so students should have sufficient funds to cover meals and unforeseen travel expenses. Once at Sandusky’s Amtrak or
Greyhound station, there is a list of taxi numbers to call to get to the park. Students should request the taxi service bring them to Cedar
Point’s housing campus for a room assignment. The address 2075 1st Street Sandusky, Ohio.

TRAINING AND ONBOARDING
Arrival Instructions:
Travel arrangements
We recommend students travel to Cleveland Hopkins Airport as it is the nearest airport to Cedar Point. Options for arrival to the park from
either Cleveland or another airport, may include transportation by train or bus. Students may contact Amtrak www.amtrak.com or
Greyhound www.greyhound.com directly to make a reservation and check fares. As a reminder, Cedar Point is unable to provide
transportation so students should have sufficient funds to cover meals and unforeseen travel expenses. Once at Sandusky’s Amtrak or
Greyhound station, there is a list of taxi numbers to call to get to the park. Students should request the taxi service bring them to Cedar
Point’s housing campus for a room assignment. The address 2075 1st Street Sandusky, Ohio.
Days and times to arrive
Associate Housing is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to accommodate arrivals at all hours of the day or night. Since flight costs and

a room assignment, students will be instructed to attend a First Day of Work (FDOW) session at the Cedar Point Training Center located
directly across the street from Cedar Point’s housing campus.

With a valid Cedar Point ID, associates can access the Sandusky Transit System free of charge for transportation to and from the Associate
Housing Campus, as well as personal use for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Plus Cedar Point’s own bus will provide transportation
