I'm of the mindset that they took away from other parks to add to a park with a better attendance and season pass base.  With the addition of an upcharge maze (mazes?) it would seem counter productive to cut hours that could bring profit.  This is an answer to those that were becoming critical of how tame the haunts had become.  

Well, this is that sad time of the year when looking at the park's calendar you start seeing the 'Closed' dates.  Makes me wonder if we will see more 'Closed' dates next year or more 10am-8pm dates throughout May/June/July.  Maybe even no dates for April.  Hope not, but we will see.  

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Fridays for Haunt were just cut in September for Valleyfair and Worlds of Fun. Michigan’s Adventure had its entire fall season cut. Several legacy Six Flags parks just had their holiday event cut. While Kings Island added Thursdays in October, other parks lost days or entire events. There’s a trade off for adding those Haunt nights.  They didn’t add without taking something away. 

Wonder if Siren’s Curse was originally supposed to be themed like that before it went to Cedar Point

If the ride truly does take flight, take a plunge, and follow the light, this ride will be the first of it's kind. I feel like the ride will be rocking boat meets Navi River Journey and includes screen elements. We shall see. I look forward to finding out more! This last teaser definitely gave a little more information than the previous ones
