Is that so.......?


Yes, yes it is. I admit at times they might startle me but I'm there for the rides man, not for the scaring part.

^ Yeah, me too. I love Fright Fest, but I still prefer the regular season, because for the most part it's warmer and less crowded.

The only time ive ever have a bad time was when we were at hurricane harbor and we just got out of the wave pool and the weather was 55 degrees. They closed hurricane harbor 2 hours early.
Next SFGAm trip: June 5th

Yeah, but without Fright Fest, the park'd be closed in September....

^ I know you are a living bush at FF, but I wonder if you were the one that actually scared me or not. Aren't there like 3 or 4 of you guys?

I actually love being scared by you guys. It almost makes me pee in my pants, but whatever. Isn;t that what makes FF special?

One of my least favorite experiences was a few years back during fright fest, but fright fest is still my favorite time of the season.

It was the second year of the portapotty with the water that squirts out. That was the year they used a remote control to make it work. (in my opinion, that was the year that fright fest was the crappiest, of the past five years or so) So basically, there was no one who worked there that was working the remote, so I was sitting there doing it. I couldn't actually work there, so I basically pretended to. I worked together with the dude who was in costume so we could get people scared and stuff, y'know, typical teamwork. But when it was pretty dead a supervisor for JPM (or whatever its called) came by and asked if I worked there, when I said no, she kicked me out. I thought it was pretty mean because well, y'know, its not like I wasn't helping them out or anything, they were understaffed.

Six flags tends to be a pleasant experience tho, so I don't really have alot of bad stories.

Ohh, that sucks.

To get back on topic, when I was a beginner with coasters, I had horrible cramps one day while at the park, and mostly had them while I was waiting to ride V2 for the first time. I was scared to death. I'd only been on BTR, Spacely's, and Whizzer before that. But I could barely stand up, I was so scared and in a lot of pain.

^ I don't remember which side it was on. I know I was on my way out when it happened, and I ran after that, but that doesn't really mean I was on a certain side.....

It sucks that you're not a bush anymore. I would love that job!

This isn't really much of a bad experience, but on June 11th, I was tripping on my own feet like crazy that day. The last time was in SWT and that was definitely the most embarrassing. I have no idea why I was so clumsy that day.

Oh yeah, then there was the time my shirt flew up on Giant Drop and everyone saw it.

Well, this was more funny than bad. I was walking to Viper at my first time at GAm, so I didn't quite know what to expect. My friend and I heard this rumbling behind us, and we're like what the heck, so we turn around and BOOM! Out comes Bull's train from the tunnel! It scared the crap outta us but it was HILARIous!!
Eh.......I got nothing.

The one that happened to me didnt happen to me, it was my mom. We're on RB in the front and she went to put her lap bar down. before she got it down all the way, the dumba** ride op secured the train bfore it was all the way down. They unlocked the train and she put it down all the way. Half way up the lift hill, it pops open three clicks. My mom didnt say anything. We get to the top and i put my hands up and she says "Bryce! Put your hands down!" i look over and its about 5 in. away from her waist. We were both wigging out. We were both holding on for dear life. She acutally almost came out. We were so scared and i was only 11 and didnt want my mom to die (not that i do now).

If you dont believe me, PM me and i'll give you my phone number and you can talk to my mom.
YEA!!!! THREE MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!!

My last ride on Demon was very very painful. All through the ride I was in pain, and that includes the lift and breaks. This was the first time I've sworn on a coaster, but I had a headache for the rest of the day.

stupid kid


Mine was probably Viper at CAD last year. It took over 1.5 hours to get through the line, and the station was a zoo. The staff was pathetic, and the crowd was getting out of hand. The ride however was great, but crowd control needs to be improved.

Or maybe because maintenance is the only ones who can restart the ride? :roll:
