This was shot in 1080p. It could have been 1080p60. I didn't know how long the battery would last zoomed in that often. I found out it would've been alright since I only tried to tape the offense. Note: I missed two of the three EC interceptions as a result. But got Levi Ellis' last one.
Embedding is turned on for this video if you want to link to it on social media. If the student athletes wish to use footage, they may. Just keep the 'YouTube amusement420' watermark on it. This took a little bit of time to do. I enjoyed doing it. The video can be a bit shaky that far away. I would try a monopod next time. But I like the POV as I shot the Anna mud bowl game that way. The sideline stands aren't high enough to do a good side POV. It was fun to go down to the sideline for the final TD with Al McKinney and Rob Zidek there.
Good luck to the Panthers the rest of the way!

Also shown is the showtimes sign outside of The Palace Theatre. See the ends of the other videos for other interesting things related to the show such as the portrait’s eyes moving, the ghostly lights inside and outside, and a pan of the empty theatre.
I’ve legitimately watched the show four times and recorded all four Murderers. 4 for 4! (No special treatment just for YouTube). This is a video with all four Murderer performances edited together. ‘Manson’s’ video at the end includes the end of the show, as well as one of the dancers as a pre-show mourner that walks amongst the crowd, and the showtimes sign outside The Palace Theatre.
New for 2022 in the Palace Theatre! Who murdered Franklin Earl Anderson Rochester. His initials spell ‘F.E.A.R.’ Was it Lilith, Manson, Baby or Uncle Buzz? via audience applause at the end. Otherwise it’s the same show. A high-quality production that we’ve come to expect from Cedar Point. It’s a very popular show.
“Franklin Earl Anderson Rochester was murdered. His surviving family members arrive for what they believe will be the reading of his will.

For those who were asking: Most amusement and theme park performers are musical theater, dance or music majors etc in college. Often it’s their first contract. Some return or go to other parks, cruise ships, dinner theatre, resorts, sometimes off Broadway and TV or music or dance teachers etc. Most Technicians and Costumers also major as such. Some of these performers are in Summer show videos on the channel. Here’s a short list:

This video’s highlights: Murderers ‘Baby’ 23:09 and 26:40 ‘Lilith’ taped the same day. ‘Baby’ writes & hands out her autograph 'BB' when she says “Thank you for coming.” I don't have one (I don't sit in the front) but a friend got one.
The end of the video shows the pre-show audio and ghostly flickering stage lights above, followed by the flickering lights on the outside of The Palace Theatre.
Shot with a tripod extended pretty high. The zoom in was to tighten the frame. It was something different to do and a different POV. The heavy fog haze used during and in between the show made the camera go out of focus a couple times. Lilith’s clip was shot handheld with the camcorder held off to the side due to a collapsable stroller beside me and shooting around the attorney. Got the shot though. That made me decide to shoot the later show with the tripod.

CEDAR POINT HALLOWEEKENDS & Mister Midnight Clips 22 | amusement420amusement4202022-10-05 | These are scans of the11x17" printed Cedar Point HalloWeekends Park Map Guide 2022. Cedar Point has chosen to print limited quantities in favor of relying on phones and their app. I've been told by a longtime employee that only two cases were printed (I don't know the total, but the point is these are hard to come by).
The reason also probably is it saves on printing and everything that goes along with the logistics in favor of park visitors scanning a QR code on the park map signs – shown in the video – to use the online park map. They might rely too heavily on phones though. Not everyone has one or takes one into the park.
These scans are 5 seconds long each. Title screens are placed to easily find the sections you’d like to see. This video effort took a while to do. But it's the type of thing I like to see. I watch videos. I share videos. Consider clicking on some ads to defray the cost of a season pass to bring you more hi-quality content! Thanx for watching!
I got mine at Guest Services. It sounds like they don't readily give them out. I’ve asked at the toll booth, gift shops, Hotel Breakers and even the town hall info booth. They were nice but they said no we don’t have any so they said either scan the QR on the park signs with a phone or try the guest services at the front.
I saw an older gentleman with one and asked him where he got his. He said guest services but he rolled his eyes and said “it seemed like they didn’t want to give me one.” I know a couple people who they wouldn’t give them to.
Note: An issue I had when trying to access the equally hard-to-locate park map guide on their web site is my security software said it's not safe to access. So I didn't.
Regardless people like myself to collect printed park maps. I'm glad I got one. And I'm glad to share the images.

Notes: • The video skips at one point near the end since the camcorder writes up to 4.25GB at 1080p60 resolution then starts a new file then has to be adjusted in iMovie depending on where it occurs • The showtimes signage at the end spells Edgar Allan Poe’s name incorrectly as ‘Allen’ • Two different actors perform the show.

It a one time deal. No preconceived notions of how it would play out. Herb played it well.
@15:35 The Chauvet DJ Geyser LED Fog Machine is shown inside the cauldron for fun at the end (not a big secret since kids and adults stand around it for the Trickster Games).
The opener and exit dance music was edited out due to music copyrights. However, it ended up being fun to do by adding title screens with select show audio clips, which is what used to be done in videos.
Herb is a returning performer (the third that’s been in the show since 2020). Phlemgina (the second) and Isador (the third) are new for 2022. The costumes and Witch hats are very well done.
Cedar Point placed park benches inside the Fort. A tripod that was used later in the day – to shoot full stage wide shots of HalloWeekends’ Opening ScaryMoanies and The Shrieks (see HalloWeekends playlist below) – was used for this video to keep the camera more the height of a standing kid’s POV (or ToT’s aka Trick-or-Treaters aka as we call them on Halloween ; ) It’s a little shaky at first as the tripod gets picked up occasionally. Otherwise it worked well. A different way to look at a show. (Two of the audience participants in a row are named Harper!)

I had the tripod for the Opening ScaryMoanies so I shot this one too (I rarely use a tripod). The propane flame jets were turned of on the left side on purpose. They can also be called fire spray effect flame or fire throwers or just fire. They had ones that swayed which were cool.

These are the dates & times from cedarpoint.com. To date they aren’t accurate. Only a 3pm is listed not 3 & 4pm. I’m not sure if there was a 2pm show. Cedar Point put a large QR code on the stage’s big screen to scan with your phone. That’s the only other way to check showtimes. I think accurate showtimes should be shown on the screen for all shows as they have been in the past. As well as with signs outside venues and stages that need them. It’s relying on phones too much which not everyone brings into the park. It’s an unnecessary lazy cost savings approach. As it stands this is what cedarpoint.com lists:

“I watch videos. I share videos. Documenting the Spirit of the Thing since 2008.”BANISHED BACKSTORY EXCLUSIVE & SCREAMSTERS Cedar Point Haunt at HalloWeekends 2021 | amusement420amusement4202021-10-28 | My video shows the new “Banished” Haunt Zone with Exclusive Backstory audio at Cedar Point Haunt at HalloWeekends on Frontier Trail 2021. The 2.5min interesting backstory is well-read. It was recorded with my camcorder for 20min standing underneath a small speaker at the tunnel entrance at the end of the night. I layered it in iMovie to find the parts without ambient noise resulting in five sections spliced together. It turned out very well. However, you can’t hear it very well during haunt zone hours. I thought is was a PSA. I’m glad I walked past it at closing. That’s how I’m confident it’s exclusive.
The video is in two sections. In the first, audio is combined with lowered volume Screamster footage. In the second, the Screamsters and Sliders are without the backstory.
Video by amusement420.
This was quite a free video effort. It was fun to do as a document as part of Cedar Point Haunt at HalloWeekends. I hand’t shot this zone this extensively since 2006-2008 and 2010 with Cyrus when it was named “The Fright Zone”. Those videos are on my playlist below. I have an an affinity for Frontier Trail and the original Fight Zone I recorded in the past.
It’s a good theme for a Frontier Trail zone. Interesting Screamster characters, sliders, costumes, makeup. atmosphere, props, lighting and performances gave me something interesting to work with. The Banished logo and type Font is well done. I created the title screens.
A video like this won’t make much YouTube AdSense earnings approx. 50-cents. No joke. So please Share, Like, Comment, Subscribe, watch other videos and click on Ads even to skip them etc. That helps. This is more interesting if not esoteric than a lot of videos. I like to see the number of view counts and Likes go up if nothing else.
Here’s how it was shot for informational purposes and for my own records:
Sep 24 [The bulk of the footage of Screamsters and Fort Sandusky & a 1500 watt fog machine (I asked a tech). I didn’t know how it would be edited. I stood in front of the fort behind the canon and then on the perimeter of the zone to have fun getting good shots. I hadn’t seen this zone in action before. There was no Call of the Scare gathering of Screamsters from every zone and house this season that park visitors have seen in the past that’s on my channel. The Banished Screamsters gathered in the fort prior to 8pm. I recorded them from 8-8:30pm. This video could have been longer but it highlights the best parts of those Screasmsters. The Screamsters on subsequent nights I shot in one take as I walked thru the zone. If I missed any I unfortunately didn’t see them or they weren’t there]
Oct 1 [Pumpkinhead scarecrows–is what I call them–which weren’t all there during the first night, bungee jumper in one take, Fort Sandusky Screamster actor–all I shot is what’s in the video–and the Banished promo on Hotel Breakers info monitor screen]
Oct 8 [The Banished backstory audio was edited from five sections due to the noise from park guests and employees walking thru the tunnel, Millennium Force and loudspeaker music. The view of distant lightning behind the Slaughterhouse Haunted Maze was serendipitous. The camera was pointed at the entrance for just that amount of time]
Oct 17 [“Banished” tunnel entrance sign and pumpkinhead scarecrow with Millennium Force after the zone was closed for the night. I never get to Cedar Point early. I always stay late.]
Oct 22 [A couple of Screamsters toward the end of the night]
The edited audio track was laid down first in iMovie. Then the Canon R400 1080P60 video clips were added from the footage to fit with what I interpreted what the backstory was telling. It was relatively easy to put together. Then it took time to finesse and do the title screens. That’s where the effort comes in. But it was fun.
“I watch videos. I share videos. Documenting the Spirit of the Thing since 2008. Season Passholder since 2006.”
For the record, here’s Banished info from Cedar Point’s web site: “NEW for 2021! The calls of crows warn of a new evil falling upon Frontier Trail. Malevolent beings from the nearby wilderness invade to seek revenge on the panicked townsfolk who betrayed them. Become part of the terror as fear comes easily to those who venture onto Banished’s haunted trails.”

But how many have seen the Ghost? The Halloween motif portion of the Cedar Point HalloWeekends annual light display on the 145ft tall Giant (Ferris) Wheel. It was shot next to the Kiddy Kingdom Carousel merry-go-round. That’s the music playing.
“At Cedar Point, bigger is better, and nothing is quite as big as the Giant Wheel. As one of the tallest Ferris wheels in the United States, riders are taken up and above the Lake Erie shoreline with views as far as the eyes will take them. While those seeking out the ultimate thrill are next door at Wicked Twister, this ride has brought riders back for more since its opening in 1972. Travel 145 feet in the air, gripping at the sides of one of 36 cabins, each filled with travelers awed by the sights and sounds that only this vantage point can provide. You’ll be able to see the whole park, and the whole park will be able to see you, especially at night when Giant Wheel lights up. You can’t miss the illumination along the skyline. After all, it has more lights than any other ride at the park. See you up there.
Height Requirement: 48” tall to ride alone OR be accompanied by a supervising companion. Hand held infants and single riders are not permitted.“

@00:00 Purple Witch Phlemigna’s story time on Sun Oct 17, 2021 at 4.20pm performed inside Fort Sandusky in the Witches Hollow shed formerly the Leather Shoppe. The Witches perform individually in the Fort. Purple Witch Lucy is in Camp Spooky/Snoopy.
@07:25 Orange Witch Herb inside Hotel Breakers Lobby on Fri Oct 1, 2021 at 8.30pm. 'The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown' is looped every HalloWeekends season on the Breaker's lobby monitor. The title screen audio is from a clip I don't show of the Witches entering down the hallway in 'attract mode' to gather children at the same time. It serendipitously matched Witch Lucy on the monitor. The showtime images were on the Breaker's rotunda info & promo wall monitors. I didn't know the Witches would perform there until I saw those. They shot their first promo photo in front of Breakers. The rotunda is in the back on the beach side. The show logo is well designed. The fonts are classic House Industries HouseofDeath and HouseofTerror. The 'dark and stormy night' clip outside Breakers rotunda is from a previous season after it rained.
@14:35 Green Witch Isador also featuring Herb helping with sound effects inside Hotel Breakers Lobby on Fri Sep 24, 2021 at 9pm was the first story I shot. The video is grainy since the compact camcorder is shooting in low light. It works fine for these Halloween shows. The Breakers storytimes featured all three Witches dressed in capes during each show. I shot this from the 2nd floor photo gallery which they change for HalloWeekends. I didn't know how close kids would be and wanted them out of the frame so I zoomed in from there but was able to get Herb in as a result. The lobby is noisy but Isador has a strong voice. @16:25 Phlemigna’s door bell was fun. Didn't know she was going to do that. I just panned the camera. @18:30 Isador’s reaction was funny when some kids were leaving right before the end of the story. They all play their characters very well as did last season’s. @19:45 Hotel Breakers rotunda traditional ceiling lighting bat gobo pattern that's always cool to see but is absent this season so I show them in the 2019 season. Update: They put the bat pattern up when I was there the following week. The crickets chirping audio is from a separate video shot on Frontier Trail.
If it's a fun HalloWeekends show like this I spend a little more time on it. Families like The Witch Sisters. The performances and kids participation are engaging in all the videos as well as last season's.

THE WITCH SISTERS Spellcasting Ceremonies Tricks & Treats Fall Fest Cedar Point 2020 | amusement420 youtu.be/7VFqb8GkxV8THE WITCH SISTERS Spellcasting Ceremony Cedar Point HalloWeekends 2021 60P HD | amusement420amusement4202021-10-12 | Another hideous performance by The Witch Sisters Phlemigna Purple Witch [returning performer], Herb [as in Herbaceous] Orange Witch and Isador Green Witch [new performers from Cedar Point’s Summer season].
This season’s Cedar Point’s Tricks and Treats Fall Fest Witch Sisters Spell Casting Ceremony, Dreadtime Stories and Trickster Games in Witches' Hollow are inside Fort Sandusky on Frontier Trail this season. I have videos of last year’s shows in front of the cabin across the way.
The signage in the video are Friday showtimes. Sat and Sun may differ. Showtimes aren’t on the Cedar Point web site. It should be on their app.
The area inside the fort was available when the leather shop moved out. The moose antlers decor could be removed, imho. Not very witchy.
I used cute stock illustrations to black out a couple of audience participation children’s faces. The girls were too close to the camera when they turned around for my tastes. It’s debatable how Mom’s would react [if they even see the video] since it’s not uploaded by Cedar Point.
Highlights: 08:35 A black cat with a purple witch hat that matches Purple Phlemigna Witch for the fun little screaming spell girl (look at how she squares up before she delivers the scream into the fog machine cauldron) 13:35 Pumpkins that match Orange Herb Witch 04:45 The participant with the Harry Potter cape was wearing a pandemic mask.
The sunlight was very nice. I got lucky. It poured right after this show. The Dreadtime story was cancelled. All of the outdoor show videos this season had great weather which is a big reason I uploaded so many.
I’ve recorded The Witch Sisters Dreadtime stories for a separate video. To date, I have the story read by Herb and Isador in Hotel Breakers lobby. They were fun performances and audience participation in a different setting. Phlemigna’s story time was too noisy because of the long line of guests checking in at the front desk and the loud restaurant. I didn’t record it. A story in the fort might be taped to be complete.
The event logos at the end are on the video board on the main Celebration Plaza stage where Monster Mash-Up with “The Shrieks” Band, DJ Dr. Scream and The Costume Contest Council perform. My Shrieks videos are in the playlist below.
You can find Citrine Crystals online for $10+ ^v^ A Citrine Crystal is Yellow-orange Obelisk Quartz Stone Single Point sometimes used as pendants. They’re said to have healing properties. Brazilian Citrine is heated Purple Amethyst. The resulting are rough points. The tip is burnt orange, the rest is white that comes to a jagged point. They’re very small pieces that fit in your hand. Brazilian food ovens are decorated with them is how that came to be.
I looked inside the cauldron. The fogger is a Chauvet DJ Geyser vertical fog machine.

“Daytime strolls through Frontier Town streets are calm and composed. But when that sun sets in the west, you’ll have to ricochet left and right to get away from long-gone cowboys who are haunting everything from the ol’ train station to the General Store. Make like tumbleweed and drift through if you dare!” -cedarpoint.com
