• New Brochure Reveals Some New Info  Posted by Andrew on April 5, 2001

              This may not be news, but I noticed some interesting things in the new brochure. First of all, the brochure is perhaps the greatest one yet. Anyways... The Hallo-Weekend section of the brochure lists that Cedar Point is adding three new attractions this year. They include a kiddy haunted house, a haunted drive-in, and a new INTENSE haunted house. Also nowwhere in the brochure did it say the park gates open at nine... so perhaps this solves the debate about Cedar Point opening at nine. It also looks like Soak City prices went up a little this year. To request a brochure go to Cedar Point's official website.
