Cedar Point Press Release

SANDUSKY, Ohio, – Cedar Point will offer a wide array of family entertainment this weekend when three popular special events return to the Sandusky, Ohio, amusement park/resort.

PointFest

Back for its second year, PointFest returns to Cedar Point on Saturday, Sept. 18.  With nearly seven hours of music and entertainment, PointFest will feature some of today’s most popular Christian artists.  The PointFest lineup includes Grammy- and American Award-winner Casting Crowns, Family Force 5, Manic Drive, Sixteen Cities, Remedy Drive and David Nassar.

The concert will begin at approximately 2 p.m. with performances continuing until 9 p.m.  The event will be held in the Soak City parking lot.  Combo tickets to Cedar Point and the concert are available online and at Cedar Point.  Concert-only tickets for season passholders and deals for groups of 15 or more are also available.  Admission to Cedar Point is required.  For more information and a link to purchase tickets, please visit cedarpoint.com.

HalloWeekends

This weekend will also mark the start of Cedar Point’s HalloWeekends 14.  New this season will be Dr. D. Mented’s Asylum for the Criminally Insane, a brand new haunted house in Frontiertown.  Inhabited by dozens of horrific creatures and a mad scientist, this could be the scariest location in the park!

Returning for their second season will be two other haunted houses:  Happy Jack’s Toy Factory, a bizarre collection of toys and dolls from days gone by, and G.A. Boeckling’s Eerie Estate that will feature more than 20 rooms of scream-inducing terror!

HalloWeekends at Cedar Point will be held Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays, Sept. 17 through Oct. 31.  Cedar Point will be open 6 p.m. to midnight on Friday nights (only a portion of the park is open); noon to midnight on Saturdays; and noon to 9 p.m. Sundays.  (On Sunday, Oct. 10, the park will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.)
