1. The train is non operational for the rest of the season due to technical issues.. There is a bridge that the train passes over near Orleans that had rotting wood on it.. It was deemed unsafe for the train to pass over... (This IS NOT the train trestle that guests walk under to go from Orleans to Mardi Gras and vice versa. This is a small bridge in which the train passes over a backstage walkway near Orleans...)
It wouldnt be open anyway, it was scheduled to run Memorial-Labor day weekends. Im pretty sure thats the reason Area 51 is in Hometown Square also, so they can block out the train station with the UFO.
Well, here are some suggestions that I came up with from last years FF,
Necropolis opens at 5 I believe, so me and my friends waited for about 5 minutes to open it. I HIGHLY recommend this. About 10 minutes before the gates open, some actors come to mess with you. We totally made fun of them and they would walk through the crowd and act creepy.
We went back to Necropolis later that night, when it was dark, and were about halfway through, when a lady in a normal park uniform asked if we wanted to buy Mausoleum tickets. She directed us toward a booth with a door. We opened the door and a guy with a chain saw came rushing out. We obviously screamed and ran, and saw no one got near it. I found this rather hilarious.
Although, I was very disappointed with Studio 13. One of my friends spent 20 bucks to buy all 4 of us tickets. It was me, a girl, and two other guys. When we get through the short line, the tall creepy guy asks us for our tickets. We happily give them to him, and go down the dark hallway. Me and the girl went, but my two other friends wouldn't go. We made fun of them as they chickened out and went through. I really don't remember anything particulary scary, and I'm disappointed its coming back.

2. LAFF will be returning once again, (God help us all), minus one of the witches... It is back to it's original cast of characters per say... And for those of you show groupies out there, you'll be happy to know that some of your favorite performers will be returning (regardless of the fact that they did not perform at all during the 2008 season)... They really should move on with their lives..

Info changed from my previous post. Rise of the Demon and Cell Block "A" are free for Season Pass Holders, but cost additional prices for everyone else. Figured people would want to know.
Rise of the Demon Scare Area Additional fee required, free for Season Pass Holders Guests who meander too far from the path will end up in the Rise of the Demon Scare Area.
^ I like this whole idea of "Free for Season Pass Members, everyone else pays extra". If that is not a way to boost post-season sales of Season Passes, I don't know what is.
Now, if they could get all of the haunted houses to pick up on this idea.....then we would be in business!

I'm surprised they don't charge Necropolis as well. Rise of Demon is only like a 45 second walk through. Not really worth it as Necro takes much longer and is more worth it.

I like the decision to make Cell Block A free for season pass holders. It makes me feel like there is an additional benefit to being a season pass holder. Also, I agree with what Brian said about this boosting season pass sales.
I don't because im going with friends who dont have aseason pass while i do and yet they have to pay and i dont so chances are i will have to go by myself.
New items free for season pass holders? I really feel that's not fair to the GP. SF already charges the GP an arm a leg and your 1st new born to get in to the par not to mention the ridculous price for parking. I'm a season pass holder and the prices they charge is a bunch of BS.
