We got to the park around 10am and went on most of the rides in order from right to left, skipping a few of the coasters because of height requirement for some of our party.
The lines started out at about a 30 minute wait, then 60, then quickly to 90+. Little Dipper was 90 minute wait, the tea cups were over an hour. I didn't even want to try Raging Bull, the line went past the tea cups exit.
At 3pm we went to buy tickets for the SAW Maze. It was an hour wait to get the tickets. The SAW Maze was right by the ticket booth, so we just went straight there, no lines. DO NOT GO TO THE SAW MAZE! It was horrible! It starts off like you are going into a prison, with security guards yelling in your face, several times, for you to put your hands on the person's shoulders in front of you. The whole time it is almost pitch black, so you don't even see over half the stuff. I was only able to see 3, maybe 4, scenes. They had people thet jumped out at you, but they only scared the front and the back of the line, I was in the middle. The whole thing probably lasted 2min, and you were barely able to see anything. Just alot of "Help me! Help me!" for every scene and inbetween.
6pm we went to see the hypnosis lady. It had some funny parts in it, but most of it seemed fake. There were a few people that it was extremely obvious that they were acting. The show lasted an hour. Wasn't too bad.
We walked around for a little while looking at the different scare actors. In the area were the trolls used to be, there were 2 James Cameron Avatar native people looking like things walking around. One was green, and the other was orange. They looked really good. We saw a few zombies who only had the fronts of their faces covered with white paint and it looked bad.
We went on a few more rides until about 8pm. At that time we went to Necropolis. In previous years, there was always a long line that took about 30 min - 60 min to get through and when you finally got through, it didn't feel like it was worth the wait. This year, there was no wait, although there was alot of walking. Necropolis is FREE and BETTER than SAW Maze. I don't want to give away too much, but check out the little movie they play in Necropolis witht he zombie eating a body. I want that.
Overall, I had a good time, but it wasn't even close to being as good as it used to be.
