What changes to the Halloweekends events would you like to see?

the wood that tony had could be the bridge of terror island coming back another big comeback if that happened but id like happy jacks as well

Shaun, please read: http://pointbuzz.com/Forums/Thread/15470.aspx

ok I understand

I'd like to see a new theme instead of a return. Maybe something witch related in the new haunt that is being built. That could be what the Halloweekends sign out front refers to.

That's what I'm putting my money on. :)

OK you all I see Cedar Point is ready to Hire Screamsters for this years Halloweekends come one come all the park needs many I have been told. So come and sign up I want to be scared this year so I dare you all to scare me. I hope enough people sign up this year as the numbers we lacking last year.

YES! I so agree, I rode MF when Terror Island was up and it made the ride sooooo much better because of the fog. And ideally because of it they did the same for Maverick. And so riding Maverick at night during Halloweekends is my goal!!

Uhm, what is CP going to do about the Midday Halloween Parade since they have those overhead lights up on the Gemini midway...because the floats in the parade are taller than the lights. Hope they don't get rid of it - it was a good family-friendly thing to have.

The parade will be rerouted, I believe up front along the Wicked Twister midway. The route may not be finalized yet but I recall Tony saying this.

According to this site, the new haunt (presumably in the new building by GateKepeer) will be called Hexed. This would explain the witch on the advertisements.

This should be interesting...

So if I am not mistaken, Cedar Point has gotten rid of a few haunted houses. The list on that website listed 5: Hexed, Zombie High School, Eden Musee Chamber of Horrors and Wax Museum; a nautical scare zone, Cut Throat Cove.
Last year I thought Cedar Point had a few more: Fear Faire, Zombie HS, G.A. Boecklings, Blood on the Bayou, Carnevil, and Screamworks. So either this website forgot to mention these two which is more likely or Cedar Point has replaced two of these and gotten rid of the rest.

Went through a bunch of tweets from the campout last night and came across one that said

@JennyFiedler16

@cedarpoint just gave us a preview for a new Halloweekend attraction! I got a
selfie with the witch! #CoasterCampout

Full tweet and pic can be found here

Can anyone from the campout shed some light on the details? Seems that this confirms a haunt with witches at this point.

Side note...why are they "selfies" when there is more than one person?!?

There's a difference between a "haunted house" and a "scare zone". That might be where the confusion is.

Haunted Houses: Eden Musee, Eternity Infirmary, Eerie Estate, and Zombie High School.

Scare Zones: Blood on the Bayou, CarnEvil, Cornstakers, Cut Throat Cove, Fear Faire and Screamworks.

I knew I was missing a few. I just listed some off the top of my head. But the question remains that the website left out more than half of the haunted houses/scare zones.

I would certainly like to point out something:

So Eden Muse replaced Happy Jack's because DT was taken out.

Coat Throat replaced Terror Island bc Dinosaurs came.

Tombstone territory replaced Fear Faire because...

Now Hexed is to replace...?

Probably nothing. :) Halloweekends has been so popular and successful that it likely merits the addition of more attractions without replacing any. Although as you point out, any attraction which is removed is likely to be replaced by another.

Going forward it seems more likely that we will get more haunted attractions and potentially even less rides operating during Halloweekends.

I think the performers during any of the live shows should, for Halloweekends, sing and perform "lay all your love on me" by ABBA...but change the lyrics a tad or use that same melody. (good song) Or any ABBA song for that matter. (besides dancing queen)

It seems as though there was a lot more fog machine output years ago, and a lot more red gel covers over the lights throughout the park.

This really added to the eerie, spooky ambiance.

I'd like to see that back the way it used to be.

It would also be cool to see much more of the Thunder Canyon flume used for the corn maze.

The red gels made me feel like they'd be better off just killing the power to the lights on Gemini midway (and wherever else they were). I get the idea but it practically made it into a blackout. Ugh.

1. Bring back the Trio of Terror. That actor was AMAZING!
2. Bring back the Overlord and get rid of the Witch. Also, move the entire ceremony back to the middle of the park rather than hiding it in the back.
3. Bring the Screamster Parade back.
4. Less fog in your face (because you can't see and could potentially get hurt or hurt a Screamster) and more fog along the ground.
5. Character development of the Screamsters and interaction with the guests. Screamworks has some amazing characters.
6. Send people through the zones and houses in groups, unless it is Screamworks or CarnEvil which are just walkthroughs.
7. Do something with the dinosaurs other than just leave them there.
8. More decorations.
9. More catering to Halloweekends when it is going on, to make you forget for a minute that you are CP (everything I see around the park is still CP themed and related).

And as someone else stated, not that CP execs will listen to the fan suggestions on this....they only care about the money they make and what they can do to improve the park for the typical operating season.
