Since Michigan's Adventure is owned and operated by Cedar Fair then why don't they have a Halloween event like what Cedar Point and Kings Island have at their parks? Just curious is all.

Hard to say. Although the parks are under the same umbrella, they do operate largely independent of each other. The park management seems to think that their market could not support such an event.

Michigan's Adventure is primarily a water park. It is also far north of both here and of Cedar Point. People there aren't fond of spending time going in and mostly out of houses that time of night that time of year. The weather after Labor Day is very unpredictable, and it is not all that unlikely that a large snow could hit by early October.

So, the ride park closes the Sunday after Labor Day, and the water park closes Labor Day.

Yet Canada's Wonderland has Halloween Haunt. Although the population of the greater Toronto area is a little larger than the population of the greater Muskegon area.

Canada isn't Michigan.

Canadians are much hardier weather-wise.

Canadians are much hardier weather-wise.

That's a rather broad statement. I guess we know different Michiganders and Canadians.

Granted, it's much easier for most in Michigan to get somewhere warm(er), without flying or crossing an international border.

Muskegon gets far worse weather than Toronto, too, being on the Great Lakes. It gets lake effect snows and high winds that Toronto doesn't.

As an example, Muskegon's average winter snowfall is 102 inches. Toronto gets less than half that, at 48.

Changes in longitude, changes in attitude just doesn't have as good a ring as the Jimmy Buffett song.
