partycat Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Friday, October 23rd, Travis and I took a weekend trip to Cedar Point's HalloWeekends! We drive down on Friday and got there in time for them to open. Saturday it was pretty cold and rainy in the evening but not too bad, we went to shows while it rained! Sunday was BEAUTIFUL and a great last day at the park, the weather was perfect and made for some pretty pictures! Heres some of the pictures I took while at the park, enjoy! here you can REALLY see the difference a new paint job can do looking good! There were pumpkins EVERYWHERE by Dragster, it was beautiful! I feel the same way <3 The vending machine promoting Valravn is amazing! You use your Instagram or Twitter and make a post using #CP2016 and then the machine gives you a hashtag to use and then the machine dispenses your prizes. Each one gives you two cards Back of the cards Watched the Skeleton Crew show and the changes they made to the show were great! This sign was pretty awesome, it lit up every few minutes and was by the tunnel and Millennium Force was in the background of it during the day Some Valravn construction pictures from Saturday morning looks ready to ride to me... oooh ahhhh looking good so far! Look at all those pumpkins! This picture obviously had to be taken... This addition was one of my favorite parts, I loved all the pumpkins! Pumpkin Dragster! They had so many Jack-o-Lanterns, and I don't think any two had the same face! so pretty! Lots of cool pumpkin art! Pumpkin landscaping! This sign looks very familiar... The park was so pretty with all the trees changing This was our favorite part of "Sideshow, a Carnival of Magic" It was so creepy and also caused a new obsession with the song "Dollhouse" by Melanie Martinez <3 The whole show was pretty incredible and beautifully executed, they had elements for everyone to enjoy! Millennium Force looked beautiful <3 More Pumpkins! this was a very popular area for selfies Skeleton Crew the next night we were at the very front of the stage! This guy STOLE the entire show for us, he plays the part of a psycho a *little* too well, we watched the show so many times because of him, and every time, you can feel the crowd around you becoming genuinely horrified of him He swallows a variety of swords while laughing like a maniac to the song "No More Hot Dogs" and it is just as incredible every show! Next morning we got in some early ride time on Millennium and Maverick Sunday the sky was BEAUTIFUL and made for some great pictures! what a great view <3 Also forgot about the restraint change, so much more comfortable! You can see the painting progress on Dragster really well here Yay pumpkins! WOW the park looks beautiful! <3 so pretty! got in one more show before we left, LOVED this show every time! Overall we had a great trip, really great 3 days of HalloWeekends! can't wait to come back to ride Valravn int 2016! Driving into the park, you get to see all the pieces of Valravn just hanging out

DoinItForTheFame Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos!! The paint job on TTD is look amazing!!! Glad you all enjoyed your visit!!
RyanTPM Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Thank you for the trip review, great to see some pictures of Valravn construction up close!
LuminousAphid Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks for sharing, really cool with all the pumpkins everywhere!
cfc Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I enjoy seeing the photos from different Halloween events across the country. Thanks for the Valravn construction photos, too.
Cj1990 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 It's really amazing to me how much they've already put up on Valravn.
Jantzen73 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks for sharing - I agree the sword swallower steals the show! There are some other great acts as well - the contortionist and aerial silk acts were great too I thought. We went the weekend before and even with not-so-great weather you can still find plenty to do around the park! I find it interesting that the Pumpkin Blaze has been re-themed to the Great Pumpkin Spectacular - I wonder if for copyright / trademark reasons or the fact that blaze has another meaning in the urban dictionary...
Guy T. Koepp Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Great TR! I love all the pumpkin sculptures and art. That is really unique. I got out to the park for the first time this year. I will have to get there for their Halloween event in the near future.

I feel like "The Great Pumpkin Spectacular" fits better, it sounds more family themed too So true! Loved the variety of shows and indoor things to do!
Philrad71 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 We were there Friday night too...and we agree that the pumpkin spectacular really adds a lot to the event. We were very impressed!
FaithPlus1 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Great PTR What a great read! Glad you guys had fun. The pumpkin display is surprisingly fun to look at.
comet Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Awesome decorations! Cedar Point has really stepped it up over the years with Halloweekends.
Nrthwnd Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I wonder how many workers they held at knifepoint to produce at least one carved pumpkin? Kid-ding. Great TR. I think I will visit CP in my next life. Halloween, definitely.
partycat Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71174 posted a TR from the last day of the season and more construction pictures!
