Actually, it is possible. From what I hear, it takes hours, but if its not working properly, that's how they have to get it up or down when needed.
Pfft..they use a giant crane!! its the same one they use to fix Deja Vu and the crane to take apart giant drop!! No but they also take the employees left in the park and they stack them on each other one by one and they push sky trek tower's cabin all the way to the top. Of course they wear safety equipment...
The only thing being cranked in our park is Mi..uhm nevermind

I cant seem to find the topic on it, but it relates to Fright Fest, but not directly to SFGAm. It seems that the parks that have been open for their first week of Fright Fest, they ran out of live cockroaches including SFOG and SFGAdv. It seems that people are really doing this and this promotion is actually working, unless they had a small number of cockroaches.

It's good to hear that the cockroach thing is working...it'd be nice to get up there to see the contest on 10/13....i wonder how many at our park will do it..
These are all the characters. They seem to be gettting rid of the kids area characters like Princess (that gives free candy), and the medieval people. I also don't see the big Skeleton, and the other weird dude in there that are usually in Carousel Plaza. That's sad. I want a picture of the skeleton, and I have never gotten yet.

^No, I am. But the promotions a fluke. It says you get to the FRONT of the line when all you really get are 4 free flash passes which gets you through most of the line.
Well after going today I think most people will enjoy Fright Fest this year. The actors on the Holdup Express deserve an emmy. Ride it and you'll see what I mean.
One thing I think people are not going to like about the train is the fact that for the first show, the train is stopped blocking the Southwest Territory railroad crossing for 5 minutes. That kind of suprised me. Of all the possible places they could choose to stop the train, they chose to stop it in the middle of the railroad crossing.
They should have stuck with Scooby Doo for the train. While watching this I had no idea what was going on other than the fact that the title told you there was a hold up. I'll just say that there is a lot of running around and that pretty much it.

That is the description of the train.

About the "Hold-Up Express." Would anyone know if it would be appropriate for a 4 and a 2 year old? And also, can anyone give me an idea of what time of night FrightFest turns scary?
