The buses left 2 hours late. I don’t know if it was someone’s fault at the school who was in charge, regardless, we paid $150 and I expect my child to arrive on time. Not be late to the park by 2 hours. Apparently there were too many booked and not enough seats. What genius couldn’t do the math?! You wanted them there by 8:30 and they do not leave until 11:30, plus have over a 2 hour drive, my kid was starving, besides being highly annoyed. Do better!!
By Holly D for (Thurston) Thrills and Chills at Cedar Point's Halloweekends on Oct 28, 2025
Thank you for sharing this feedback. A two-hour late departure is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize for the impact on your child’s day. Families trusted us to run an on-time trip, and we did not meet that standard. What happened: The on-site check-in and bus-roster process took significantly longer than planned, which delayed boarding. (A school representative typically manages the roster) Total motorcoach capacity was sufficient for all registered students; however, the delay resulted from roster management at check-in and multiple students requesting to switch buses to sit with friends. What is changing immediately: Earlier check-in with firm cutoffs: Arrival will be earlier, and the manifest will lock at a set time to prevent last-minute delays. Legacy-managed bus lists: Legacy Youth Travel will manage bus assignments instead of the school. Students will select their bus at check-in, receive a matching wristband, and remain on that same bus for the return. Faster boarding: Additional staff, clearly marked lanes, and a close-out lead for each bus will expedite departure once capacity is reached. Chaperone alignment: A pre-trip meeting with teacher chaperones will confirm roles, responsibilities, and the final bus list. Food and comfort: We recognize the delay pushed back lunch in the park. Snack packs were provided at boarding that included Pop-Tarts, oranges, Nutri-Grain bars, donuts, mini muffins, and apple or orange juice so students could eat en route to the park. I know every student was provided a snack pack bag. For 2026, we will add an optional pre-order breakfast add-on for families who want a more substantial meal before departure. We also encourage students to eat breakfast prior to arrival since it is a long day. We appreciate your candor. Your feedback is driving these improvements so future trips run on time.
