Browntggrr Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well there goes the whole "if" factor. Now I'm DYING to see what the crowd is like! Have fun all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 I can confirm that this will definitely be the last year that it's free. Also, season pass information should be out right after Labor Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well that clears that up. Here come the lines. Is there any information on exactly what rides will be open? All I've been able to find is "thrill rides including:..." but nothing saying if there will only be certain ones. For example, Italian Job; that could go either way in terms of being a Fearfest attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, serves them right!!! As I told you guys in another post, the "IF" was emphasized because the decision hadn't been made. I wasn't covering anything up, I was telling you the truth!!

CoastersRZ Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I think that this was a smart decision by the park. Yes, the overall experience might have been improved had they charged for it this year (and to shorten some of the lines up for the haunts). However, because it was so close to the event, and they had not advertised a new pricing strategy, it would have been a hard push to get the public to understand the new structure, this late in the game. I`m all for paying to get into Halloween Haunt if it means shorter lines. Which, looks like it will now happen next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleHenry Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 It wouldn't have mattered to me one way or the other as I will be a creature, but I would have gladly paid to get into the event knowing it would be a better event. You get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what you pay for. Yes and no. The event this year is MUCH better than years past. They bumped it up a notch figuring that it would be an upcharge and wanted to make it worth your time and money. Consider it a gift from the fine folks in Sandusky.

flightoffear1996 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Bring on the long lines. I would rather pay $20 and got to HH one or two times than have it be free and have to go everyweekend just so you can do all the haunted attractions.

hauntguy Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well that sucks... Now, we have to deal with SUPER LONG lines and DRUNK RULEY CUSTOMERS!! Well, they better change the adverts that are going around because the haunts WON'T BE LONGER or BETTER with lines like those. It will be just like last year, shoving groups of 10+ through at a time every :30 seconds! Hopefully something will happen to change this! -Hauntguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 People were upset when they thought it was going to be an upcharge, and now people are upset that it's free. You can't please anyone. But I bet they intended it to be an upcharge this year, but since they promised in the 2007 park maps that FearFest would be included with park admission they probably figured it would be better to have HH free for 2007. Sounds like 2008 HH will be an Upcharge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I think Cedar Fair has again made the right decision. I'm telling you, finally I am seeing wisdom guiding decisions on the admissions and pass processing fronts. Kudos to all those involved in this wise decision...doing the best they can with where they are for this year, and upcharging in the future to deliver a higher-quality experience for those who go to the Halloween Haunt.

I HATE when they push large groups so fast that 1, only a fraction of the group gets scared per creature since only a part of the group actually encounters them, and 2, you can already tell what's up ahead because you're so close to the group in front, causing you to see the haunts before they scare you. It never gives the haunts enough time to reset and really go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleHenry Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Which is why I'm glad I'm in Cornstalkers, where I'm not really trying to be scary, but creepy as hell, since I get to roam around an area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Just to say, I don't have a problem if HH is an upcharge next year. At least it won't be advertised as included. Even though FearFest is no more, they were advertising all season that it would be free with park admission, so I think this is a great move for Cedar Fair. And thank you.

cstrwomann Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 It seems to me like they had alot more attractions last year. The website doesn't show any haunted houses like they had last year is this going to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sums up my thoughts on the issue exactly. I would like to thank Cedar Fair for making the right decision and not upcharging after they advertised it to be free for so long. That being said I can't wait for the upcharged Halloween Haunt in 2008! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 So, as of today (as I was working Cleanup Crew), the facades for Massacre Manor and Red Beard's are up, as well as their maze layouts, which look cool. So, um, you might wanna grab the camera and get some Kodak moments this weekend. Oh yeah, and that hearse that was parked out in front of the casting office is gone, and a mini-scene with a skeleton, a couple of hay stacks, and a fog machine, in its place. Apparently, people have been keying it a lot lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastbreakdown Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hah, yea I saw that today. I was going to make a post about it later. I started laughing when I saw that, everyone who I was with just starred at me. Also, I found it funny how today was "Paramount sale day!" All former paramount merchandise was on sale up to 60%; In addition, they were also giving away bears with winter fest logos on them. I guess Cedar Fair is trying to clean out the ol' warehouses.
