October Brings HalloWeekends To Cedar Point Theme Park

October 1, 2009 at 9:08 AM | by kjb | 0 Comments

Welcome to October—it started today if you weren’t paying attention—and that means it’s time to really focus on the spookiest season of them all. Theme parks have been doing their best to get ready for Halloween, and one of those coaster kingdoms is Cedar Point. The coaster capital of the world has installed some orange light bulbs, added some pumpkins, and transformed the park into a scary adventure. HalloWeekends is yours to enjoy through November 1, and if you missed their rides during the summer, this is your last chance until 2010.

This is the 13th year that HalloWeekends have taken over the park, and it looks like they’ve really upped the scare quotient for this year. There’s two new haunted houses including Happy Jack’s Toy Factory. It sounds too creepy to us, we prefer when our toys don’t come alive. Along with the usual rides there will be plenty of scare zones between the different attractions in the park. Just pay attention and you’ll be safe, otherwise you may never make it to the park’s giga-coaster, Millennium Force.

Besides the spooky characters lurking in the shadows, there’s also some musical entertainment. We wouldn’t be surprised if more ghouls were lurking in the audience, so don’t let your guard down. If sitting around is your thing, make sure you grab a seat along the curb to watch large inflatables, crazy creatures, and other ghouligans as they make their way through the park during the parade. For those who scare easily, or are kids, head over to Planet Spooky for a few tamer thrills. That may or may not be where you’ll find us hanging out.

Regular admission is $45 and will get you into the action any day or night now through November 1; however, if you need to save a few bucks, use their starlight admission deal. Friday nights or Sundays after 4 PM will just cost $30, and we’re thinking that there will be fewer troublemakers crowding the sidewalks. After all, fewer visitors mean shorter lines.
