Halloween Haunt At California’s Great America - Media Night

Posted on October 5, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports | 17 Comments

The first ever Halloween Haunt at California’s Great America, was actually quite enjoyable. Low expectations helped.

Our excitement for being the first to attend Halloween Haunt, was somewhat dwarfed by the fact that we were going to Knott’s Scary Farm the following night, and Miley Cyrus’ Sweet 16 right after that. But despite our numerous negative experiences with Cedar Fair throughout the year, I’ve gotta admit, they put on a pretty good Haunt.

We started out with the Boo-fet, which was not only cleverly…

Great America will have it’s first ever Halloween Haunt this year, and since Cedar Fair now owns both Great America and Knott’s Berry Farm the same crew that runs the world’s first haunted amusement park attraction, Knott’s Scary Farm, will be designing and decorating Santa Clara County’s premiere theme park for the spooky season as well!

Wow, that reads a lot more like an ad then I expected :-\ Anywayz…

Finally Found The Once In A Lifetime

Part of the Miley Cyrus’ Disney Sweet 16 Series -         Next in series

As a father I’m always searching for that once in a lifetime experience that I can provide to Z.  This is compounded by my long absence from her life.  But what could it be: attending the finals of American Idol? Tried, failed; backstage passes to a rock concert - not as once in a lifetime as it seems; Opening day at a major amusement park? …

Answering Concerns About Cedar Fair And Disabilities

Part of the Cedar Fair’s Disabled Rider Policy Series - Previous in series         

Yesterday I praised Cedar Fair on their new policy that disabled guests now need to wait just as long as everyone else to experience the rides at Cedar Fair amusement parks.  Since I wanted to share as many details as possible the post ran fairly long.  Therefore, I decided to leave off my response to most of the objections I’ve encountered and post them separately.  Hence…

Bravo To Cedar Fair!

Now there’s a headline I never thought I’d write.

My regular readers are aware that my “day job” is caring for developmentally disabled adults. In fact, I work more than 100 hours per week doing this, so it’s more like my three day jobs. You should also be aware that Z and I are huge fans of Flash Pass/Fast Pass systems at amusement parks. Now that the disclaimers…

Innovative Discounts at Morey’s Piers, Wildwood, NJ

Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Ride Reports, Travel | Leave a Comment

It’s been a rough year for amusement parks with a sluggish economy and ever-increasing gas prices. That’s why you can now get two-for-one admission tickets to most any theme park in America, but would be hard pressed to be paying full price at the gate. The prize for most innovative gate discount must go to Morey’s Piers. One of the upcoming Wildwood events is the season finale of their Radio Disney concert series on July 26th. Typically, the concerts are free,…
