Halloweekends 2011

Anyone think that it might not even need a queue? Terror Island only has one because its entrance is the Paddle Wheel entrance. Unless you get there right when the zone opens, you don't queue up but rather walk right in like other zones. CornStalkers needs a queue because it is grouped like a haunted house. So my guess is Bayou won't really need any queue space.

Is anyone going to take CP up on the opportunity to dine at Eerie Estates?

It sounds like an awesome idea, just a little too expensive for my tastes!

While I haven't done the meal, I did work the press event the year it opened as one of the monsters and one perk was that we got to eat the food afterwards and oh boy was it delicious. I really was impressed at the quality of the stuff they had out. They couldn't keep me out of the meatball thing along with all the other "themed" items I think there was something made to look like fingers if I recall, in either case I've heard it actually is worth the money to do if you can sometime.

It appears that the show line-up is nearly the same for this year:

Other than an apparent sequel to Dr. Cleaver at the Palace everything looks to be the same. Red Garter will presumably have The Edge of Madness: Six Feet Under.

Most years when a show repeats, they at least add/change out a few songs so it is not 100% the same. I am guessing the same will be done this year to most of the shows.

Seeing as Garter had a large change from Journey to BJovi I don't see anything major happening there.

But speculation is just idle/excited/restless minds making things up.

P.S. We be down to 15 days and change.

Three Monsters Rock era performers are coming back to the Garter this year. I can't wait to hear Melissa, Nick and Amanda sing again.

While the return of some Monsters Rock performers is great, the return of a live band would be even better.

Did i miss it, or has Cedar Point still not put out detailed info for Halloweekends?

I am so exited to get back to it. This truly is the best job ever! I got two friends hired this year, on in Cornstalkers and one in Blood on the Bayou. I will admit I'm a Little jealous of him, I love Fear Faire and didn't think twice about returning, but now BOTB promises to be a great zone. part of me wishes i was there.

Still nothing on Halloweekends.com .

From what other people on this site are saying, they will probably unveil that in the next few days.

Knotts Berry Farm already has their info up.

I was wondering about the site myself. I didnt know if it was computer or what but the only thing on it is the dates. So I guess there should be/will be more info released on Halloweekends.com?

if my memory serves me right it took a loonnng time for halloweekends.com to actually go live. I gave up on looking most of last year because it just had that placeholder screen and that was it.

Last year the site went live around Aug. 30th and was one of the last to go up.

Probably see something soon. Until then it is the same placeholder as last year.

Blood on the Bayou looks amazing. That's all I will say. Amazing.

^ Agreed. This might sound like an odd question but I really like the creepy folk / twang music playing outside Blood on the Bayou, is their anyplace I can listen to the music / soundtrack?

I'm sure this has been asked about a million times... but do Platinum Passholders get in an hour early durign Halloweekends? So we would get in at 5:00pm if we do right?

I know that they do a 5:00 early entry for resort guests on Fridays, so I would imagine passholders get in then as well.

You'll enter right where the "shack" and signage is, and proceed along the path. The path then widens and turns to the right (as seen from ID) to an area where it is just path, no theming present. My educated guess is that this will be where the Blood on the Bayou "winding queue" will be. Think of it kind of like CornStalkers, where most of the line is hidden from view.

Hm, sounds plausible.

SSL488, platinum pass holders and resort guests have one hour early entry on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays of Halloweekends.

Apologies if this was already covered elsewhere, but I noticed earlier on the Buy Tickets Online page of the official site they had the Starlight admission for HalloWeekends on Saturdays listed at $39.99. It seems to be gone now. Will this be the price? What was the Starlight admission price last year for HalloWeekends?
