Great America Carn-Evil

As some of you might know, Cedar Fair purchased Great America from Paramount Parks Inc. In the last couple years, Great America has taken the extra step to dress half the park up for Halloween. This is a mere cosmetic change. Other changes include a 'Scaryoake' and a Halloween version of the Nick Parade. This year however, we have included a Halloween maze called, 'Carn-evil.' I have to say, I am extremely impressed with the effort. I always thought Paramount Parks was too family orientated and not enough main stream. It appears Cedar Fair is takin' care of business and it also explains why they are so successful. Just some food for thought, our nearest sister park, Knott's Berry Farm has 1000 monsters running around 5 nights a week and multiple mazes during October. We have 30 monsters and one maze. And yet, we have a bigger park. So, think of this year as a preview of what's to come. One thing we do have over Knott's is our Nick Parade which is roughly 100 people.

I strongly recommend making a trip to Great America this month and checking out the maze, parade and the new hip-hop show along with the Nick or Treat section. It will be spooktacular. Also, this Friday, the 5th, you can preview the maze and the hip-hop show for free. Just park in the front parking lot for free at 6:45 and walk through the main gate. You will be directed from there. Dress appropriately, as you will be outside most of the time. And o yea, watch out for that mirror room, I will appear in front of you, next to you, and behind you.....
