So we went to the RIP Party for Halloween Haunt and had tons of fun! these are some of the pictures we took: They hand these out when you go to pay for parking…what is this skeleton key you speak of? our map for the night! and a trail to the FOOD! I'm assuming the regular ones just don't have the sticker we got all the mazes… the ones with the key next to it have a special room in the beginning. This is the skeleton key! It's REALLY cool! it was actually pretty heavy (It glows in the dark too!) It wouldn't be Halloween Haunt without the awesome backdrop! Theres also a guy that stands up there and makes fun of you as you walk by too! I guess Don had too much Skyline Chili… (at least he died happy) mmmm pumpkin! This was new, sort of similar to what Cedar Point does (I can't remember the name of theirs) I *love* being in the park when there is almost no one there! One of the new mazes! KillMART. I love all the detail they put into this! the queue is lined with shopping carts! (so many cool details!) mmm time for food! I love how they dress up T-rex every year! (he can't unwrap the candy cause he has little arms…ha!) Ahh! blood in the fountain?!!?! oh wait thats punch... Dinner with a view! hope there's no scare actors behind the food! :o the fog was in full force! The signs were new! and they were everywhere:) eye see you…. LOTS of security and way more scare actors at the gate than last year! aww what a cute bunny AHH NO GET AWAY!!! This actor was new and one of my favorites! (thats a real snake…in case you can't tell). She really doesn't have to do anything if you are afraid of snakes! She's part of Madame Fatale's House of Wax (which is in the old building that held The Crypt) These guys were in front of the theatre (oh no he's got Travis's head!) This area needed no further theming! They had a new show in the Festhaus called "Ghouls Gone Wild" I preferred it to the old show they had (I think it was called Graveyard Shift) this show had our favorite singer in it, his name is Jeremy and he is always in a show every time they change shows (he's Frankenstein) They got rid of Hot Blooded which was sad, I loved that show. This show was fairly close to the one at Cedar Point, but on a much smaller stage (which made it way more impressive!) See! I told you the key glows in the dark! Every maze had these lights, the spider is for the fast lane line and the skull and crossbones is for the regular line We had been in this maze last year but decided to try out the secret room. Urgent Scare won the award for most disturbing when it came to the secret skeleton key rooms... When you walk into this room, it immediately smells terrible and the walls look like they are smeared with poop. I still can NOT get the disturbing image of this half naked man out of my mind. He offers you to eat bugs for the "cure", but no one said yes, so he makes you dig in a thing of guacamole (his poop) to find the key. Also he makes the monkey dance if you stare at it too much Walking inside of Madame Fatale's House of Wax is really cool cause a lot of the stuff from Crypt is still there, plus when you're in the maze you can see the really tall ceiling this was also the waiting area for Crypt as well! Delta Delta Die wins the best skeleton key room. When you are taken in, it is literally hell. There are two sorority sisters and a round table in the middle of the room with blindfolds. They made us put them on and made me take a "shot" which was a really thick medicine-like liquid which I assume was supposed to be blood. Then when I took the blindfold, Travis was gone and they said I "better go find him before its too late" so I had to go through part of the maze alone till I found him (which he tried to scare me). The rest of the maze was really well themed! I definitely don't want to join that sorority! The new signs look so cool at night! KillMART had an skeleton key room, most of the extra rooms you had to find a key to get out. The extra room in this one, you had to stick your arm in a thing a cold spaghetti with fake bugs to find a key. The whole theme of the maze was pretty cool! A lot of the props looked like they came straight out of a store Slaughter House was moved to a brand new building this year, previously it was near Invertigo. This secret room was my least favorite, and the maze was my least favorite. The room was just basically another scare room. there was no "challenge" and the whole maze people blow on your neck for some reason. The props were really cool thought and I loved the theming! Board to Death was really cool! we had seen it last year but never tried it, basically it was a bunch of board games made giant and scary. Some of my favorites were mouse trap (with mouse scare actors), operation, and monopoly! Crypt... I mean Madame Fatale's House of Wax is just like the movie House of Wax. We had done it before, but they added a skeleton key room to this one.Madame Fatale comes to get you and then you go to a room with the snake lady from earlier, then the lights turn off and strobe lights come on and snakes lower onto your head. This room would be really scary if you have a fear of snakes, you have to walk past the snake lady as you leave the room as well. Overall we had a great time! They make Halloween Haunt cooler and cooler every year and I love all the details that are put into it and I love how much fog they use! We definitely will be back!

We will be there tomorrow!

We really don't like the selection of hotels around CP so we decided to try the campground:) It was our first time staying there so we didn't know what to expect. Overall we loved it! We both love to camp and this place was really cool! You can choose from a site with an electric box or none and we got the one with electric to charge our phones. They have a cool playground for kids and a pool as well. They had showers and restrooms as well, and each site has a fire ring and a picnic table. As for the trains, we could hear them, but it was barely there. I think I only noticed them before we went to sleep and when we woke up. (nothing to keep you up at night) Plus the crackling of campfires was nice to sleep to:) I think we found our place to stay when we go up again! We loved it!

I didn't take many photos, but here are some from Cedar Points' Coasting for Kids event:) Picture CP posted to twitter (look its us!) we decided to sneak back with the Millennium walkback group:3 There were a few other Coasting for Kids riders that had the same idea we were the only ones that got to ride the blue train! lunch was given out right in front of Gemini:) everyone that participated got bracelets (yes...that IS sunburn) This isn't really part of it, but the slingshot is looking nice!

Are you staying at CP's Camper Village or the nearby KOA? Just wondering because if you are staying at CV, they don't allow tents...even with motor homes. KOA, we know:)

With good navigation plans you should be fine, hit the big rides earlier in the morning and the rest should have shorter lines but there still will be a lot of waiting. If you are impatient I would go with fastpasses, but make sure you overuse them to get your money's worth

What an awesome deal, Cedar Fair's platinum pass is such a great deal for all the amenities that come with it Yep! we go between KI and CP most of the season and love it! plus we might go to Dorney and KD this summer as well:)

This Sunday and next Sunday (22nd and 29) platinum pass holders can get up to 6 people in for $19.99 each! We will be there this Sunday for Coasting for Kids so we could get 12 people discounted prices if anyone was planning on going Hopefully it doesn't rain! we are planning on testing out our new tent at the campground

^^I'm sure there will be a TON of people there on Friday, but wow, the fastpasses are expensive!!! How long will you be there??

Lol also the ice cream part xD

^^lol that video has to be a joke, I'm dying laughing xD the gift shop park was hilarious! That's not even what it looks like, and they forgot to add subtitles on some parts xD

But when it gets stuck with people on it, usually you get a nice "front of the line pass"

At least I know one person from TPR will be there!

Cedar Point has decided to reschedule their Coasting for Kids event on June 22nd! we plan on attending and taking LOTS of pictures! so be prepared! Also, any of my other team members planning on going?? I want to be able to get pictures together

We are!

Had to keep water in a cup through the ride. The 15 with the most won a 2015 Platinum Pass. After reading the rules and seeing the line (with no guarantee of even participating) I decided to get five laps on Maverick instead. No regrets. Do you know if there were any other rules? Like putting your hand on top?

I am now $75 away from $500 raised! almost to that first benchmark! and I think it is awesome that Robb is offering that amazing deal! Not only do you donate to charity, but you also get an awesome dvd of coaster footage! Two good things in one! Just a few days left!

Woohoo!! We made it to number one

Yes! please help us get to number one! (if it's easier, my banner is below ) SOO EXCITED TO PARTICIPATE

Great job! I just joined this a week ago and I'm trying to be one of the top 3 fundraisers at Valleyfair. We only have until Thursday though since we ride on Saturday. well you're already in the top 3! quite impressive for just joining! good luck:)

Just reached $300! I'm so excited for my first year of Coasting For Kids! Can't wait to meet my teammates as well! thank you so much for your generous donations as well! Go TeamTPR!
