This upcoming Sunday, October 31, marks the end of Cedar Point’s HalloWeekends and the end of the park’s 2021 season. This year’s spooky festivities include some new attractions within the HalloWeekend haunts. Guests are assured a fun experience and a good scare as they test their bravery in the haunted houses and mazes.
Along with the regular Cedar Point rides that are included with the HalloWeekend ticket, there is an abundance of other events, too. This year, the event holds two new haunts and spooky attractions: Banished and Hexed Black Magic, along with all of the other yearly aspects. Banished is an outdoor scare trail taking you through the wilderness’ revenge, and Hexed Black Magic takes you on a journey through a witch’s lair to escape a curse.
Some other HalloWeekend attractions include fun for both kids and adults. During the day, Cedar Point has attractions like pumpkin patch picking, monster makeovers, Camp Snoopy Dance Party, and pumpkin decorations. The park then turns into a scare zone at night with attractions like the Slaughter House, Cornstalkers 2.0, Blood on the Bayou, and Deprivation.
The various HalloWeekend events are scattered throughout the park and open at different points throughout the day. The events will be on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Thursday (today), the park will be open from 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday follow the normal park hours of 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. For Sunday, the hours are 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The HalloWeekend events aimed toward a younger audience will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the event days, with the more intense haunts opening afterwards.
Tickets for this final weekend can be purchased online or at the park, with prices ranging between $50 and $75 per person depending on the day. General admission, when bought at the park gates, is $80 per person. Parking passes can also be bought online for $20. Regular park fast lane passes for various rides are available as well as fright lane passes. Fright lane passes are an additional $85 per person.
We hope that anyone who decides to go to Cedar Point to enjoy the HalloWeekend festivities has a safe and enjoyable experience.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
