Fright Fest - Not the same experience as before...

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby zjohn1988 on August 3rd, 2006, 7:40 pm
SF wasnt kidding when they mentioned a "family" fright fest....

>>Dear Creature Crew!

>>

>>It is time! Schedules are being solidified and approvals on all facets of

>>our events have come. Some are sweeping changes and some are status quo

>>with wonderful opportunities!

>>

>>JPM with Six Flags Entertainment have made some pretty radical changes to

>>the event. We have reduced the number of characters to focus more on GUEST

>>SATISFACTION and ENTERTAINMENT VALUE. Those of you who came to the

>>February Auditions and who have subsequently sent in your paperwork should

>>be good. Those who are "waiting" -- we will see you in September for

>>auditions and casting... but as you review the character list, note

>>that all groups have been either reduced or eliminated completely to

>>change the look and feel of the event; to provide better break schedules

>>and to offer MORE to the guests and of course our client, the Park.


>>Schedules will be revamped so stay tuned to this website for additional

>>information OR come by Sept. Auditions and Casting at the Park for

>>details. Department heads you may contact the corporate office

>>directly... .

>>We also hope to post a special informational bulletin on the website http://www.jpmproductions.com for those who have gotten paperwork in on time.

>>For those of you who have gotten their paperwork in and found your

>>position gone: contact the office via email on your top three choices for

>>position... we will do our best to find a place for you! Some of the

>>changes of interest are: a new Daytime Parade that will kick off the

>>nighttime "spooky" experiences; no train; groups will break as a group...

>>and more!

>>



>>Check the website over the next few days and review your event's character

>>sheets (or evaluate the two) for the best opportunities for YOU! Both

>>events WILL BE FUN and different. And as always, things change

>>constantly!

>>

>>Let us know soon. Positions are going extremely fast for qualified

>>candidates.

>>

>>

>>
> JPM Productions, Inc.


Here is also the character list. It might look the same, but if you take the time to notice, some creatures have been cut. Fun house will only have 7 "monsters" in it for example. The scooby doo train is also no longer listed. The email also states they dont need any creatures for the train, so will this mean no return of boo line or anything?

This should be interesting this Fall.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

The Train show cancellation can be one of the 3 things. The train is going to run as it normally does or Six Flags in house show dept. is going to use people for the Train Show or the train will be closed during fright fest because there is some new attraction coming that would require the trained to be closed as they being construction on the new attraction. I remember last time when they ran the train like a regular train that received several complaints. So, my guess is either they are running the Train Show in house or they are keeping the train closed during fright fest do to construction of a new attraction for 2007.

Meh...Fright Fest always kind of underwhelmed me. So I don't really care one way or the other as long as my favorite rides are still open.

They were Shapiro'd :lol: . But seriously, JPM said they were going to cut positions/groups for this year's event and it looks like the County Fair scareactors were axed.

I see that it says Fun House. This is different! It doesn't say Haunted House. Also, did you notice the Fright Fest prop. It's in Orleans Place.

Hey, does everybody here know that zjohn1988, besides posting confidential correspondence from JPM Productions on this forum, previously got himself kicked off of a Walt Disney World forum because of profanity? It all stemmed from his trip report in which he talks about how he and his friends disrupted one of the rides at the park. Twice. Between that and the blogs on his myspace page, I have to venture that his car doesn't quite make it to the top of the first hill, if you know what I mean. I can't understand -- and I don't believe -- that Six Flags would ever hire this guy back. Discloses confidential information, has a history of hooliganism in theme parks, hmmmm.

Don't worry John I'll cry as well... Or not....

John can't disclose confidential information because he doesn't know it. He only hears rumors etc. That and its my job to do that... err.. wait.

Ezekiel if you say even one more thing not so nice about any other forum member (John or not) I will ban you. And it won't sadden me one bit.

As for Railroad we have not been informed of any plans to discontinue operation for it. (Could change of course due to Mechanical Issues/Staffing etc...)

I actually agree with Ezekiel that email you posted is not information you should be sharing with the public. I would also like to know who sent you that email because I bet they don't have the authority to allow you to post it on this site. Next time you might want to think about what your posting and whose information your sharing before you show everyone private information.

Can't you guys discuss that in PM's ? It is kind of ruining the topic...

Anyway, I hope that they still do the train. I want them to do it like they did a few years back. Boo Line. With the guys with chainsaws running onto the train at the station in Hometown Square. Yeah, that was so fun.

I dont see that being "Top Secret", classified, or information public shouldnt see, it's just an e-mail. If you get e-mailed something, you have every right to share it with whoever, so he decided to share some information about the characters to this site. If you have a problem with him doing this, learn something about freedom and right of speech, then come back and talk. He has every right to share information he has been given, it is his choice whether or not to share it, if it will get him in trouble, then he won't share it, but since this won't get him any trouble whatsoever, then why not share it.
