I was there too. I thought that this years Fright Fest was way better than last years. I didn't go by Demons corkscrews though, was the waterfall red? One new thing I noticed was that they had Sky Trek Towers cabin like it was on fire. Another good thing I noticed was Jason scarin the shi* out of people in line for MoT lol.

I was also there. I got there at 10:10, and left at 9:00. The park looks so awesome. The entryway was better, Nightmare on Bourbon Street looked awesome, and Haunted Harbor looked awesome. I think necropolis was worse than last year, but not all of the characters were there, and some fog machines weren't on. The freddy and Jason bridges looked awesome, but no characters were in them. :cry: I went in sleepy hollow and it was really cool. It wasn't too scary but the artwork looke awesome. Mauseleum of terror was totally different this year. This year, the park put red, blue, orange, an green lenses on almost every light in the park. The coolest new characters this year were the killer clowns though. They were chasing everybody.

HA! I can really tell this was your first Fright Fest now lol. The Micheal Myers theme used to play everywhere in the park during Fright Fest, not just in the front of the park like it was today.
Go Bulls!

[color=orange]i was shocked at how good Fright Fest is this year. The characters were great and the haunted houses were pretty good. i got there about 10:00AM and left at 11:15PM <<<<<(Mousaleum of Terror had over an hour wait) I saw the Jugglers of Death show. That was okay. They messed up a few times. Terror Twister was awsome! I liked how they renamed Giant Drop Hellevator. Splashwater Falls was Slashwater Falls. The park was extreamely crowded so i didnt get on alot more than one time. Here's my totals from yesterday (10/11).Dejavu: 1Demon: 1Raging Bull: 1Viper: 1Giant Drop: 1American Eagle: 2Iron Wolf: 2Whizzer: 1Vertical Velocity: 1Batman: The Ride: 1Terror Twister: 2Rou Le Morgue: 1[/color]

The subs on the Hellavator sounded awsome. Terror Twister is only good with Sandstorm so we waited about 10 more minutes for that song to come on. It was worth the wait cause the other 2 songs sucked! The Killer clowns were great because they would chase you on the rides. The gothic guy was pretty cool. The portal potty thing was cool cause you got to shoot water at the people walking by. The guy with the brain on the broom was cool i licked it 9 times. Home Town Square sucked it was like a kid section boring music. The trolls were boring they just wanted to talk to you and not scary! The vampires and werewolfs were ok in Nightmare on Bourbon and the dead characters sucked and were not scary they were just stupid and i hope they dont have them next year totaly SUCKED! The lamp shades were good to have instead of haveing all the lights on like the past years. The John Carpender Halloween main theme music was too soft you cant even hear it that good. The other years you can tell that they had it alot louder. The bridges did not have even have one character and those two boxes are stupid because they dont even use them for some odd reason on the the bridges? Their were not enough characters as i expected. But there will be more to come hopefully! Ya this is definatly the very best Fright Fest Ever! :DSee You at Fright Fest!

OK here is my trip report of Oct. 11 2003,It was me,my cousin, and my brother all going, so sense we live 1 hour 30 min. away we woke up and left at 7:10, So we get on the rode and stop at the Mcdonalds that is like 5 min away from the toll, any way when we get there they hadnt even opened the gates to get in the park, but luckily we only had to wait about 2 min. So this was awesome were like the first to park so when we got to the main entrance we had to wait the typical half hour to get in then we went the chained off are entering home town square, and waited another 30 mins. Then when they took the chain down we all ran do Deja Vu, but it turns out we didnt have too cause when we got there we were like 7th in line so we got the first ride of the day on Vu and then they closed it for like 5 min, so we decided to go ride demon witch had no wait at all so we went for the front, then by that time it was like 10:15 so we went and rode DV again which had about a 10 min wait by now. After that ride we decided to hit the Bull which had its normal 15 to 20 min wait and we went for the best seat in the house the back. Then we went to Viper and rode that twice, front seat , then back. We then rode Orbit then Hellavator, then Condor. By this time it was like 12 something. We went over to the Werewolf and rode mid train it only took about 30 min. Then we rode the Eagle, red twice in like 30 mins maybe a little longer. Then we went to Firehouse Pizza at about 1:30-2:30 and watched the dead Elvis show, that was ok. Then we rode the bull again which by this time people were starting to pile in the park so it took about and hour maybe less. then since Nacropolis opened at 2 we went over there and walked through, i thought the janater was freaky even if he didnt have any make up on, and the gothic guy was anoying, he would copy every thing you said then he would like breathe all over you. then we went back to the Eagle and rode blue backwards that took a little longer. then we had been lookin for short lines and it was about 4:30 we got in line for Deja Vu again and the line was pretty much full now so we waited for the front and when we got off it was like 6:00 and it was pretty much dark now. So we went over to Superman and rode that took an hour in half so after that we did the Bull one last time that took a while.It was now 8:30 and we did Nacropolis again not as good cause people were pointing out all the scary people so they wouldnt scare any one else. Then we did V2 great ride in the front the line was really short. then we went over to the Eagle while it down pored for about 5 min, then got final ride on Eagle backwards at pitch dark(it was awesome) so now it was 9:40 and had time to ride Rue La Morge witch was cool with the glow and the dark stuff and the good tunes. That pretty much somes up my day. sorry my TR was so long
