Cedar Point Press Release

SANDUSKY, Ohio, 2006 – Friday the 13th just got a little scarier.

On Friday, Oct. 13, aka Friday the 13th, Cedar Point will hold a HalloWeekends’ scavenger hunt that will require participants to scour the park to find 13 desired items. The prizes are to scream for.

To participate, guests must visit Cedar Point’s official website, cedarpoint.com, to download and print a scavenger guide. On the guide are 13 photos of things found inside Cedar Point’s ghostly gates. Some of the things will be easy to find; some will not. Guests will use the scavenger guide to record the location where they found the item. Once all 13 items are found and the locations are written down, guests will drop off their completed scavenger guide at the Guest Services Booth, located at the front of the park. All items on the scavenger guide can be seen from public areas of the midways.

One grand prize winner will be randomly chosen from all the correct scavenger guides. The winner will receive four tickets to Cedar Point for the 2007 season and four invitations to the Media Preview of Maverick, Cedar Point’s 17th roller coaster, that will be held in May 2007. The Media Preview will be an invitation-only event that will allow special guests and members of the media to be the first riders on Maverick. Only one entry per person and per household will be permitted. The scavenger hunt will only be held on Oct. 13. All scavenger guides must be dropped off at the Guest Services Booth by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 13, 2006.
