So, frightfest was a blast. Lines weren't bad at 15-20 minutes max. We hit in order: Demon, Demon, Raging Bull, Viper, Giant Drop, Condor, Superman, V2, American Eagle, Giant Drop, Viper, Demon, Raging Bull.
I couldn't ride Drop or V2 thanks to my nice gut - but everything else was a blast.
We kept our sunglasses on all day - mainly not to lose or break them, and let me tell you - Sunglasses at night on Superman, Eagle, Viper, Demon, and Bull - INCREDIBLE. Viper and Demon were almost like being completely blind. Even if you know where the track is going it still feels like you have no idea what's next. We rode Eagle front row with the shades on, and the other 3 all the way in the back. There's really no other way to do them.
The scare-actors were ok at best. Some of them looked like they were having a good time and really getting into it. The Werewolves were definitely the best of the bunch. I really miss the Trolls, though. Also, the black water in the pond doesnt look anywhere near as impressive as the red water used to.
I cant touch on the haunted houses, we didnt check them out. Lots of decorations all over the park though. It looked good. Like others have said though, Fog would add to the element - and what happened to the creepy halloween music?
It was still a fun time, and I enjoy Fright Fest over a regular day at the park anytime.
