Photo TR - Halloweekends - Cedar Point

October, Friday the 13th and the 14th.

Not much to report since I havent ridden a single ride since it started, just taken pictures. Other than some advice from things Ive observed:

Fridays - Since its only a half day from 6pm to 12pm, make sure weather is decent. They only run half the rides so when some of those are down to high winds (normal this time of year) or too cold (again normal) it kind of sucks. However, its ALWAYS dead. If you want your Dragster of MF rides, this is the day to do it. Also the perfect time to hit up the haunted houses because on Saturday those lines will rival Dragster and MF.

Saturdays - Avoid it. Dont even touch it unless you want to wait 1.5+ hours for the Raptor. Even the DONUT shop had a wait time of like 20 minutes just to get in the door. Yes, I walked by and took some pictures of WT, came back and the same dude that was at the end of the line wasnt even in the door yet. Dragster and MF will be smashed all day and theyve only had one side of Skyhawk running making some fairly long lines there as well. Overall, its a nice day to walk around, maybe ride a few things you didnt on Friday. Hit up the Houses. The lines will be unbearable.

Sundays - If you can do even a half day before you leave you wont regret it. Its only open till 8 so typically, every Sunday Ive been there during this month its dead. Itll get more dead later on as people leave but generally Ive gotten more than my share of rides. I believe it was a Sunday that Nemesis, 42, my sister and I waited no more than 15 minutes for Dragster. We rode 4 times in an hour including a front seat ride. Sunday the scare zones wont be open but the houses should be. Another good day.


All in all, do the 3 day weekend and avoid Saturday all together.




Ive been taking lots of pictures, mostly (if not all) at night. Ive also started messing around with making my own HDR (High Dynamic Range) pictures and a couple have turned out rather cool and I can see the awesome effect it gives. Enjoy!

All new photos are at the ends of the list
