If you can hold on tight and run fast, I hope that you can survive the adrenaline rush of these haunted theme parks. October is one of the best times to travel to theme parks because they turn into haunted attractions. These haunted events are so scary that you have to be at least 13 to attend. If you like scary rides and scary movies, you’ll probably like visiting these theme parks this Halloween.

Cedar Point
1 Cedar Point Drive
Sandusky, OH 44870
(419) 627-2350
Each weekend starting September 16, Cedar Point will be open at night for Halloweekends. The Blood on the Bayou is a new maze added for 2011, and from the looks of it, I’m not for sure how many people can find their way out of the maze. Cedar Point has been able to keep up with the scariest attractions and this year the Cornstalkers and Blood on the Bayou, may be the scariest. In the past they’ve had the frightening haunted house called the Happy Jack’s Toy Factory, which had creepy dolls and it has returned for another year. Cedar Point is by far one of the scariest haunted amusement parks to visit this Halloween. There will be 6 mazes and 4 haunted houses for 2011.
