We recently told you about the good luck discovered by some in the Mega Millions jackpot games of Friday the 13th over the past several years, and now comes further proof that Friday the 13th can be quite profitable in other ways as well.
The Niles Scream Park has proven once again that it is, in fact, an extremely popular destination attraction in Michigan’s Great Southwest. Last Friday, October 13th — another Friday the 13th — the Scream Park broke its all-time attendance record for a Friday night, welcoming 8,258 interior attraction visitors. As Park Manager Pete Karlowicz puts it, “Apparently, Friday the 13th really is good luck for the Park, not bad!”
Capitalizing on the fact that Friday the 13th fell in the month of October, the Park forced patrons to confront their superstitions. For example, to enter the park, you had to walk under a ladder. Other superstitions included spilling salt and opening an umbrella indoors.
Online tickets for the Hooded attraction were reduced to $6.66 for 13 hours on Friday the 13th only. Fellow Park Manager Matt Herm says, “It was some added fun to celebrate Friday the 13th.”
The Niles Scream Park is open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night through October, plus Tuesday, October 31st. Black Out is on Friday, November 3rd and Saturday, November 4th.
