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

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!

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.

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.

It appears as if everyone else is not insane. :)

Here's an in depth review of what awaits you...

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.

Six Flags website wrote:HOLD-UP EXPRESS – New in 2006 – There’s a special delivery of $1,000,000 on this train and you’re bound to have a close encounter with a group of varmints who want a piece of the pie!


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?
Eh.......I got nothing.
