News: Cedar Point trims prices for admission and concession itemsBy Aaron |
 May. 1st, 2006 -- When Cedar Point opens on Saturday, guests will notice a decrease in many prices. Hoping to prevent a repeat of last year, when the park experienced a 2 percent attendance loss, the park has lowered prices across the board to attract visitors. An adult ticket will now cost $40, a $5 decrease. The amusement park also dropped the prices of the five most popular menu items, the greatest change being for cotton candy, the cost of which plummeted from $3 to 25 cents. The changes mark a rare event in the amusement park industry, when a park openly admits it is lowering prices to help bring people back. Analysts say Cedar Point's move could inspire other parks to do the same. Visit the Toledo Blade for more. |
