All in all. for a hot day FF was pretty good. However, it just didnt seem complete, like everything was randomly thrown around. Oh well, maybe on a colder darker day it will be better. And for only being day "2" (buy outs) JPM didnt do half bad. I would like to see them act a little more of there character in the houses and have all around better timing.
If this is how the seasons starting, FF is sure to be kick ass this year!!!
Yay! Less than 2 hours and I'm leaving for my first time to FF! If I get there aroung 9:40, and they open the park right before you get to the carousel and I run when they open it, how long do you think the line will be if I ran to Raging Bull first? Also, Is it really scary? Also, I saw a picture but didn't read above it at the time and I thought, man, that looks like Lundy until I read the top and it says Lundy.

Awesome Photos. Thank You for posting them. It look you had a fun day. How was the crowds though was the park full it doesnt look to busy any rides close? Thanks for the photos again.
it was pretty busy. we were there as well. I thought it was well done this year. It just didn't feel much like fright fest because it was so hot! i'm so used to wearing jeans and a sweater at FF rather than shorts and a t-shirt!
looks neat, I can honestly say SFStL's fright fest is basically non existant, did a last second trip there yesterday for a $44 season pass, even though I was denyed it and settled for the advertised $54 pass.
Their hayride is neat though.
And for that 8'th pic, I want to be buried that way so the whole world can kiss my @$$

Fright Fest was really boring! I was there until a little past 8:00 and Necro still didn't open and the park was not scary at all! Raging Bull was still awesome and the drop still gets me! I rode Giant Drop for my first time and it was horrible yet awesome in many ways! Here's what I rode....
Raging Bull-4 times
Demon-1 time (no scenery at all!)
Giant Drop-1 time (Pretty Cool)
Snakes on a Train-1 time
AE Red-2 times
Batman TR-1 time

Okay, there is absolutely NO WAY you were at fright fest yesterday with those remarks. And heres why
Necro was open all day so no idea what youre talking about.
Raging Bull had a 3 hour wait so how you went on 4 times is beyond me
Demon had A TON of scenery. The front with the swer, the body on the sign, and not to mention the scare area.
And the park was actually pretty scare (with the exception of tinsel town) during the day and night. Not so much day, but at night, it was pretty crazy. First off it was VERY dark this year and i thought the actors did a pretty good job.
Finally, FF can only get better. JPM is still getting used to this season and after today, it will be a lot better.

But still, no way you were there.
Bull would only have a 45 min wait. An hour wait is bolth the wait houeses filled and to the entrance. But you cant ride all of that in an hour. Also demon boy I think around 8:30 they opened necro, but I dont know I could be wrong.
God bless NIU Next SFGAm trip: Today May 1st SFGAm '10 ride count-53
if ur talking about Sunday I was working in the B96 studio all day, and the park was packed, bulls line was pretty long, and necro opened at 3 o clock.
It never closed at any time on Saturday. They did close the big gate for awhile but then they were running people through the cue for the log ride just to spread things out a bit. The host said it was something they were trying to control the flow of pwople into Necro during the peak times. I thought it worked out well once people figured out what was going on.

On sunday, I was there and I dont know what they where doing. They opended a line going through loggers run, but had few people going through the gates 1 time like a min. But thats only what I saw.

To add to the confusion, i waited 2 and a half hours for Bull last year on that crowded day where they put up that sign advising people not to come in anymore and the line started under the scenic railway and went through the entire line queue from there. Unless it started at Whizzer, or started at Viper with only two trains, there's no way it was 3 hours....
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter
Besides, the one by Whizzer is way too small to be Tiny
Here's what I rode....
