Halloweekends 2011

I think Blood on the Bayou is an early replacement for Terror Island.

Has Cedar Point officially announced that Terror Island is leaving for 2012? Even though Dinosaurs Alive will be taking over most of the island, there could still be room for it.

this is just the parks way of quietly getting rid of terror island because they knew it wasn't good enough to compete with the other zones ;-)

Just you watch your mouth before I cut your tongue out with me cutlass. ;)

If Bayou was a replacement for TI, don't you think it would open next year? Anyone who's experienced the crowds at Halloweekends can probably imagine they aren't about to start decreasing the number of attractions.

And besides, pirates and dinosaurs can totally co-exist. :)

Ralph, what can I really say? They're tearing my zone down and starting from scratch haha. I can't see them killing TI, honestly. True it may not work anymore on the island but it has been a hit and hasn't been around real long. I would hope they'd try to find a new area for it, or find some way to make it work. I don't entirely agree with some of these decisions, but again, what kind of say have I ever had in them? it's not like cedar point asks me for approval. Though they should. Let's get on that, I'll have to send them a memo, everybody reads memos.

^ Nice! "Avast, thar be Pirateosaurus Rex up ahead."

I am guessing the additions and changes this year are because of it being the 15th Anniversary of Halloweekends. It has nothing to do with the possibility of Terror Island being relocated or removed.

Your mom is to fat to ride TTD. said:
Gator, welcome to PB. I enjoy reading your posts over at KIC. Have you only visited during HWeekends, or have you came during the regular season too?

Thanks! The past couple of years it's only been during HW, but I have been there before during regular season. And I did convince Mrs. Gator to go tomorrow!

I'd like to see Terror Island stay where it is, it's a great setting off by itself. We'll see how things end up with the dinos though.

If they don't start constructing the Dinosaurs until the end of the season, I don't think Pirate island will be removed. Maybe, next year, they'll do away with the pirate theme and use the dinosaurs as props in a "new" haunted walkway around millenium island? I mean, it's either that or get rid of pirate island altogether, right? (Unless they can either move the dinosaurs off of the island for halloweekends or somehow incorporate them in the pirate theming, haha)

I don't see any reason why they couldn't wait until the beginning of April, even, to start putting up the exhibit.

terror island is fine for this year where it is. and just because the dinos are there doesnt mean they have to get rid of it entirely, they certainly could move it to somewhere else. We don't know what the dino additions will do to the island, but that is still prime real estate for a zone, I don't want to see TI go away, but I'd rather have it rethemed to stay on the island because its a perfect spot that doesn't get used a whole lot otherwise.

It coming down to three weeks now.

So, when do you guys usually go? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

I Can Not Wait!!!!!

We always do a weekend in early October.... Staying Friday and Saturday nights at Breakers, spending Friday and Saturday in the park, and using the early entry both days. That usually works out well because we can get a ton of rides and some of the haunted attractions in on Friday (since the crowds are usually light), and then take a more leisurely approach on Saturday - doing some riding, but also checking out shows, going through the outdoor zones, and just enjoying the overall atmosphere.

Knotts Berry Farm already got thier halloween haunt website up.

Yeah, Dorney Park, Valleyscare and Scarowinds has theirs up too. Hopefully CP will be next on the list. There's only 3 weeks until the event starts, so I gotta believe it will launch soon.

*edit to add Vallyfair and Carowinds.

Cedar Point generally seems to be one of the last of the Cedar Fair park to post their information, which is a little odd because HalloWeekends has one of the earlier starts of the Halloween events.

We usually go on Friday nights that the football team have far away games. This year we have 4 games that are over 40 minutes away, so that will be when I go. I also will work in Chuck Wagon by Maverick a few Saturdays. (For yearbook fundraising)

The other Saturday's I'll be going down to King's Island.

Hey guys I am new to Pointbuzz but i felt like sharing, i have a platinum pass and me and my girlfriend go atleast 3 times a week we live 15 - 20 minutes away. We went to Soak City today because it is closing soon and wanted to go one more time even though it was very cold. Anyways I went by Happy Jacks and noticed it looked pretty funny.. He's missing his hat so I thought I'd take a picture. I'll post it tomorrow if anyone wants to see it.

Hi Twisty CP!

I would love to see the picture!

I LOVE Halloweekends!! Only 3 more weeks!!

If you take a ride on millenium, you will see lots of orange markings and stakes throughout Terror Island. A lot of the orange markings appear to be in the middle of the path of Terror Island or right next to the path.

If I had to take a guess, TI will stay. It is a very popular zone. I do think the TI path would need to change a little. CP could easily throw a giant black sheet over the dinosaurs to hide them. And I don't think they would want to leave $1 mil worth of dinosaurs out in the winter either. So maybe they could just pull them into a warehouse or something.
