Since 1942, Cedar Point’s original fresh-cut fries have been a ‘must-have’ for guests from around the Midwest, and this limited-time event showcases four all-new recipes to savor.

At Happy Friar, located near Gemini, this year’s a-peel-ing flavors include 5 Alarm Fresh-Cut Fries with spicy chili, ghost pepper cheese and habanero pepper, plus Pierogi Fresh-Cut Fries with mini pierogis, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing.

Over at Hot Potato, located near Raptor, the park’s spud-tenders are serving Nashville Hot Fresh-Cut Fries with grilled Nashville hot chicken, cheese sauce and pickles, plus Chicken Parmesan Fresh-Cut Fries with grilled chicken, tomato sauce, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.

The four limited-time flavors join traditional all-season favorites like Buffalo, Garlic Parmesan, Original and Chili & Cheese Fresh-Cut Fries.
