Haunted Mazes will be Upcharge Tickets!

I went last night. Rides that were generally closed on Thursday night were up.

Rougarou, Gemini, Corkscrew, and Mine Ride

I did not go myself, but the smattering of social media posts I saw from people that did summed it up by saying The Conjuring was very good (worth doing) and had a line of 90+ minutes at times. The sentiment about the rest of the indoor houses was more on the negative side. So I guess it's a mixed bag at this point. If they can raise their game on the legacy houses, it seems there are plenty of people willing to pay. But if word gets out that they are not worth it, then they might have a problem.

Glad to hear that more rides were open than past Thursday nights.

^Perhaps, but until people actually stop paying for the haunts, I don't think they have a problem at all. Again using legacy Six Flags parks as an example, Great America in Chicagoland has been upcharging their haunts for many years now, and in my experience their mazes are even lower quality than the ones at Cedar Point. But that hasn't stopped people from buying wristbands year after year.

That was the case in 2023 and 2024 as well. Those years it only lasted until the end of September because that is when they lose a lot of the international workers. But it's so nice to still see the park make the effort for these traditionally low attendance nights with all the cuts.

And from a text I got from a friend that went through Conjuring last night "Worth the wait and worth the upcharge. Best haunt the park has ever done."

I guess it makes sense that rides would be closed Thursday and Friday nights, college kids are back in school. Maybe they should offer a cheaper ticket on those nights?

I’ll take a few closed rides for fewer people and a more relaxed visit. Either way Thursday’s are the best.

While the price for The Conjuring has increased to $35, the Haunted Attractions Pass prices have been adjusted for the rest of HalloWeekends to $10 on all days except Saturday, which is now $15 instead of the original $30.
