\u00a0<\/i>Zombies Invade Cedar Point This Fall<\/b><\/p>\n
Nightwire travelled to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio to preview Cedar Point\u2019s HalloWeekends. Each year they just get better and better at doing what they do best.. creating a fun, scary environment for all ages. This fall, when teens and adults alike will be heading back to school\u2014\u00a0 they\u2019ll have much more to fear than flunking a math test. At Cedar Point\u2019s new Zombie High School, flesh-eating hellions and glassy-eyed teachers lurk in the halls and locker rooms, waiting for unsuspecting visitors.\u00a0 Every corner of the school, from the cafeteria to the chemistry lab, has been overrun by the undead. This attraction is one you should definitely not miss!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all part of Cedar Point\u2019s HalloWeekends, when the 364-acre amusement park is transformed for seven weeks into a fright fest featuring family-friendly fun during the daytime and nearly a dozen terrifying attractions when darkness falls. New this year, families can go trick-or-treating at Dinosaurs Alive on Adventure Island, home to more than 50 life-sized dinosaurs that move and roar. There are costume contests, live shows, parades and plenty of surprises. That\u2019s all in addition to Cedar Point\u2019s world-record-breaking collection of 72 rides, including the record-breaking new wing roller coaster, GateKeeper, and 15 other scream machines. HalloWeekends returned for its 17th<\/sup> year on Friday, Sept. 13\u2014 for those souls brave enough to venture out on that star-crossed night!<\/p>\n ENTER IF YOU DARE:<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>\u00d8\u00a0 Eden Musee\u00b4<\/b>, a wax museum whose owner has died, leaving his demented children to run the family business with disastrous results.<\/p>\n \u00d8\u00a0 Cut Throat Cove, <\/b>featuring <\/b>a motley crew of pirates raiding sunken ships in Cedar Point\u2019s Frontiertown.<\/p>\n \u00d8\u00a0 Blood on the Bayou, <\/b>a murky lagoon where the swamp folk don\u2019t look too kindly on company.<\/p>\n \u00d8\u00a0 Maniacal, Mechanical Screamworks, <\/b>a metallic world of science fiction full of gadgets, gears and hollow screams.<\/p>\n \u00d8\u00a0 CarnEvil, <\/b>where crazy clowns and sideshow freaks are always recruiting, whether or not you\u2019re a willing participant.<\/p>\n \u00d8\u00a0 CornStalkers, <\/b>a twisted maze of terror that\u2019s filled with thick fog and frightening Screamsters.<\/p>\n \u00d8\u00a0 Eternity Infirmary,<\/b> a horrific hospital where thousands check in, but no one checks out\u2026 ever.<\/p>\n \u00d8\u00a0 Fear Faire<\/b>, a maze of medieval mayhem!<\/p>\n FAMILY-FRIENDLY FUN:<\/b><\/p>\n \u00d8\u00a0 Trick-or-Treat with the Dinosaurs<\/b> in Cedar Point\u2019s Dinosaurs Alive!, where many of the 50-plus lifelike, animatronic dinosaurs dress for the season and welcome kids to Adventure Island with candy and other goodies.
