SANDUSKY, Ohio, 2007 – Summertime fun will continue past Labor Day when Cedar Point amusement park/resort will open for one Bonus Weekend on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 7-9.

On Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 8-9, the park will be open from noon to 8 p.m. The following weekend, Sept. 14-16, Cedar Point will reopen for its 11th annual HalloWeekends celebration (one weekend earlier than last year). For the first time, the park’s fall fright fest will be extended to seven weekends of thrills and chills!

Now through Labor Day and the Bonus Weekend, Sept. 7-9, guests can challenge the rides and roller coasters at Cedar Point and save money. Guests can save $10 on a one-day regular admission ticket (valid for guests ages 3-61 who are 48 inches and taller) by purchasing their tickets online at cedarpoint.com.

Another favorite will return to the park when the 35th annual North American In-Water Boat Show will sail in and will dock at the Cedar Point Marina, Wednesday through Sunday, Sept. 12-16. This is the largest boat show on the Great Lakes and will exhibit more than 700 sail and powerboats, ranging from boats that cost a few hundred dollars to boats that are 60 feet long and are worth more than $1.5 million. The show will also feature boats from the top builders, including new, pre-owned and brokerage boats, and will display the latest in marine accessories and equipment.
