Fright Fest: SFStl style

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby superflybri on October 21st, 2007, 11:26 pm
Went to Fright fest in St. Louis on Friday for the biggest disappointment ever! The park was open from 6-12 which was cool, but we did not end up staying because it was lame.

We first started off going to the left of the park to check out E.K. which looks insanely awesome. Anyways, glanced at the poster/sign a couple of seconds then headed over to Scooby Doo. Which is a great ride. Probably one of my favorites of this park. We waited about 5 minutes to get on. What a rush, I love Scooby!

Next we went to Mr. Freeze, waited about 20 minutes. With only one train operation, the line seemed like it took forever. Overall still an awesome ride when it is up and running!

Next up was The Boss, My previous ride on the boss, well to put it nicely, sucked.. I was in second to last row and it was a killer, meaning, I thought that I would need pain killers at the end of the ride! Anyways, this time, sat front row, waited about 40 minutes. Overall a great ride from the front! I still wish they would get new trains.. Those trains seem really heavy. Anyways, no back pains in the front row which was good :)

Next, we walked over and took a spin on Batman. (longest queue EVER) But everyone already knew that. Waited about 10 minutes for a sweet ride.

After that, we sort of didn't really want to ride anymore rides, we walked around a little bit and found the boneyard.

Boneyard(Hayride): Well, basically this was a ride with a couple of chainsaw guys, maybe 5-6 people in total? Not many.. Anyways, the really cool part was that they had big ''flame'' cannons/pillars that blew up when they drove by. I thought that was the neatest thing. I'm usually a very jumpy guy, defiantly did not jump once. :(

After Boneyard, we just decided to call it a night.

FrightFest cons at SFStl: Not enough or badly placed monsters, Hardly any scenery

FF here felt like a normal night where the park is just open until 12. I was not really thrilled by this frightfest.

I can't wait until next Friday when I can go home for SFGam's Frightfest...:)

I wonder if ours is just so good that the other one's look bad, or St.Louis was just bad.

At a park standpoint:
St. Louis has it's ups and downs. Such as; The Boss and Freeze for thrill rides. Scooby Doo dark ride

Great America has Bull, Vu, V2, Viper, Eagle, basically every ride at gam I love.. (We have Condor) :)


FrightFest at St. Louis was just another day in the park I felt comparing it to SFGam. SFGam has a lot more decorations, scary people, more to offer and just a better rounded off park, where as, SFSTl has the boss and freeze and scooby and soon to be E.K. (I think that they should have gotten something else to spice things up a little, like a hyper!) Anycase, it will be a great addition.
