Fright Fest being open until 11 on Saturday's is a nice change. The later Fright Fest is open, the better it is.

The all caps title led me to believe that this was something to be excited about! But anyway i agree that ff bein open to 11 is a good change.

HAve you not any faith in the Last Blast to the 2nd Power, if you scroll to November it says TBD for the whole month, we all know it won't be open past the 1st weekend if that but come on we can at least say that there is hope for another Last Blast :wink:.

The only Last Blast wasn't announced until like 2 weeks before the 2002 season ended. So until Ocotober 31st comes, there is always some hope.

Yeah, last blast was announced 4 months and 2 weeks too late. :roll: If Six Flags learned anything they would of allready announced operating days in november or the will annonce it earlier. I don't think they really made any money on last blast 2 years ago.

I'm not getting my hopes up. Besides, I'll be in Oklahoma. 8)

Last Blast in 2002 was kickass. BARLEY ANY PEOPLE AND BARLEY ANY LINES!
It may have been cold but it was worth it. I went fri. and sun and on sun i basicly walked on all the coasters. I think i had to wait a tad bit for Deja and wolf. I hope theres another like 2002 this year.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

Do you really think that they planned on making big bucks that day? Everything with half price I dout they missed there expectations by very much, I mean you can't expect to make money when your losing money selling footlong hotdogs at less then $2 and 1/2 pound hamburgers for $3.

I think the whole point of Last Blast was just to sell off all of their merchandise and food items, but in order to get people to buy them, they had to have some rollercoasters open.

Did you ever think of the possibility that they lost money! just think about how many employees they had to pay, Electricity, etc,. compared to how many people actually showed up. Just because all of your income is cut in half doesnt mean that their expenses were cut in half also

How greedy can people be? I mean seriously, some people complain and complain about not having a "500 Foot Tall Floorless" or something else like that then we finally get new rides and people still complain about there not being a last blast, geez is there any pleasing some of you people?

As has been stated, the park lost money on Last Blast.

With as few of people that were in the park, they probably didn't get rid of enough merchandise and food as they had hoped.

They will now include all operating days on their calendar.

Don't get your hopes up.
