Cedar Point Press Release

SANDUSKY, Ohio – For the ultimate Halloween meal, HalloWeekends at Cedar Point is now offering a fine-dining experience that is as tasty as it is spooky.

Held in the macabre dining room of G.A. Boeckling’s Eerie Estate, one of two new haunted houses that just opened for this season, Boeckling’s Banquet will provide scrumptious meals for families and groups in a private setting.

To create the perfect ambiance, the meal will be served by the mansion’s staff of creepy waitresses and gruesome waiters.  With cobwebs and spiders adorning the lights and chandeliers and eerie sounds emanating from the dark, Boeckling’s Banquet will provide a Halloween meal that will not be forgotten.

Boeckling’s Banquet will offer four delicious entrees:  Char Broiled Lamb Chops; Lobster Tail & Petite Filet Mignon; Char Grilled Filet Mignon with Béarnaise Sauce; or Shrimp, Scallop and Lobster Pasta Alfredo.  All meals will also include a Boeckling Signature Salad, Twice Baked Potato, Buttered Asparagus Spears, Rolls and Butter; and Surprise Dessert; plus assorted Pepsi beverages and a serving of wine or beer.  A cash bar will also be available.

The meals will only be served at 5:30 p.m. on Friday nights and 1 p.m. on Saturdays before the attraction opens to the public. Reservations are required and can only be made by calling 419.627.2242 at least four hours before serving time.  Boeckling’s Banquet will be able to accommodate up to 20 guests at one sitting.  Cost of the meal will be $50 per person and includes tax and gratuity.  Admission to the park is required and not included in the price of the meal.

Located just off the main midway across from the Planet Spooky children’s area, G.A. Boeckling’s Erie Estate is one of four haunted houses at the park.  It has more than 20 dimly lit rooms that are inhabited by dozens of ghastly workers.  HalloWeekends also has five themed outdoor scare zones and hundreds of creatures who roam the park in search of prey.
For additional entertainment, HalloWeekends also has three new live shows, a magician, witches, gypsies and friendly monsters who dance along the midway.

For families, the entertainment lineup includes the Monster Midway Invasion Celebration parade, the Magical House on Boo Hill, the Hay Bale Maze, the Planet Spooky and Camp Spooky children’s areas and the Peanuts Halloween Show and Kids’ Costume Contest on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

HalloWeekends will be held on Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays, through Sunday, Nov. 1.  The park will be open from 6 p.m. to midnight on Fridays (limited ride availability); noon to midnight on Saturdays; and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays.  On Sunday, Oct. 11, the park will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.  Excluding Sunday, Oct. 11, the outdoor scare zones will be closed on Sundays.
