Cedar Point is an amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. It opened in 1870 and is owned by the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. Since 1997, Cedar Point has ran a different type of park. Halloweekends is a promotional time running from September to October. The park is all decked out in pumpkins, hay stalks, scarecrows and at night, zombies. It is, in my opinion, the best time to be at Cedar Point riding roller-coasters.
1. It is all Halloween, all the time!
Everywhere is Halloween. The decorations, the food, the drinks, the people! Everything! People and kids come with their Halloween costumes on and there are spooky themed mazes and haunted houses. I am a Halloween NUT- I love everything about fall and this holiday. That is probably why I love going. The plus side, you can even wear matching Halloween shirts with your "boo" ;)
2. Bye bye heat, hello cold
Being on the Erie Lake does help on those hot summer dog days, but it is even better in the fall. No more sweating in the sun while waiting for the Millennium Force. No more dehydration or running to find shade to cool off. This is the time for layers and wanting more sun for just a little warm up. If you are still cold, grab some hot chocolate :)
3. Might be more people, but it's still fun
Since Cedar Point is only open on the weekends during this time, people flock to Cedar Point to get in their last rides before it closes for the winter. The lines may be longer but with all the haunted attractions, people are pretty dispersed through the park. Plus, if you do not like waiting in lines, there is always the Fast Lane Pass.
I cannot wait until I get back into the park this year. Hopefully, many of you are getting out to Halloweekends at Cedar Point, since "All You Fear is Here!"
