And a family who enjoys amusement parks but, is not one who enjoys huge crowds , ride waits of three to five hours, nor waits of half an hour to forty five minutes to get a drink.... Said family should rethink Cedar Point's Hallow weekends for said weekend.
I was amazed when we pulled in the parking lot. It was full all of the way back to the gates. I can't ever remember the parking lot being this full, though there were overflow spaces back behind the gates on the marina side available when we arrived, those soon filled up too. Due to Michael's feet surgeries and Mike's back problems their doctors have authorized handicapped parking passes so we kept on going. We got a handicapped parking space in Row twelve which must have just been vacated because even this parking lot was almost full. While walking to the main gate I seen a couple others which were filled before I even walked past. We stayed for a little over six hours and seen The Chris Linn show . ( I have seen him many times and still highly recommend his show) The kids got Michael's special needs pass stamped and rode The Maverick ( they were given an hour and a half come back time while the actual wait was three to four hours ), and we walked through some " freight zones". Cindy and Robby did a freight zone / haunted attraction while Mike and I took Michael ( who's wheelchair was not accommodated on said attraction ) to see a couple Edgar Allan Poe dramatic readings ( again I have seen these three several times and though they are all OK, I recommend The Tell Tale Heart)
We all used Michael's pass to ride the Ferris wheel ( about forty five minutes to an hour wait ) and called it a day. It was still over seventy five degrees when we left at a little after eleven O' clock. I will be checking the Cedar Point website within the next couple of days as I believe attendance had to be a record. We plan to go back in two or three weeks when Michael has the pins out of this foot but I think we will go on a Sunday next time !
