No complaints here! Although when you think about it, it would make sense from a business perspective to charge admission for HH. The park has to stay open very late, and aren't most/all of the shops and eateries closed during those late hours? So if people get in for free on their passes, and aren't spending any money, then HH might not be very profitable. This is just speculation of course; I might have no idea what I'm talking about
I was told that non pass holders were complaining about GP holders flooding the park...but I responded by telling them wait until you hear from the GP holders when they find out...I assume the villagers stormed the castle with torches and pitchforks..lol
Yes and no. Cedar Fair saw how incredibly successful the month of October was for the entire chain, especially in parks where the Halloween program was free with a season pass. It came down to a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" situation. Cedar Fair's theory with the upcharge was that fewer people would visit the park, so the one who were there would have an enhanced experience by having smaller crowds and shorter lines. Instead they have decided to the initiative that a larger diversification will disburse larger crowds in a manner similar to having an upcharge. Translation: Halloween Haunt will be bigger, badder, and far more evil this year with more to do. That way, the crowds will be more spread out and guests can experience more. Details in the coming months.
Maybe if Cedar Fair would move the crowds through the houses a little quicker...it seems as though the line never moves. Are they only allowed so many in at a time per fire codes?
