10/18....really crowded

[Ragingbullmaniac]

All though it was a typical Fright Fest day it was still a ton of fun....ok here goes!!!

Arrived at the park around 10:10 and headed DIRECTLY to Raging Bull. The line was already out to the midway but the back section of queues weren't filled so it wasn't too bad. We rode front row on the Teal train. However since some people were confused on the stairs by the long front row line...some rows had NOBODY in them. (WTF?!) We made it off Bull around 11 so it was about an hour wait.

Took a small walk to Giant Drop and rode that. It had a decent line but I am not sure it was worth it. (about 45 minutes) I was reminded why I don't like going on that ride.....it scares the F*** out of me!!! I hate that drop feeling....(I'm afraid of elevators, too many movies where the cable snaps and it plunges)

We stopped for some food and I got a chocolate churro....not bad I must say. After the food we went to Demon. Demon had about a 30-45 minute wait which was not too bad.

Once we got off Demon we went over to Eagle and my mom needed a break so me and my grandma rode back row on the red train. (an hour wait..)

There was a slight disagreement among my part so I split off on my own after riding Eagle. I walked around for awhile and saw how bad Bull's line got...(let me tell you it was insane!!!)I went through Necropolis since it just opened at that time. They were doing a great job this time!!! More enthusiasm than last time! After that I walked around for a ride and so I settled on Batman. I got in line over by the Jester ride...sooooo many queue lines!!! I waited 2 hours to ride second row on Batman.

I hung around superman waiting for the rest of my people to chill out and find me (they were trying to get me to leave...but I said NO WAY!!) We headed to Necropolis since I told them it was great this time. It was pushin 5 so we decided to get tickets for the Mausoleum.

The Mausoleum was great!!! Especially that rotating tunnel that makes you feel like you're starting to spin. On our way out of there i tried getting a picture of the guy dressed as leatherface. I thought it would be ok since we already walked out of the exit and what not and were back into Necropolis but he got in my face (seriously) and told me I had to delete that photo. He stood there and watched while I deleted it. I was confused since we already went out the exit and everything. Oh well...

Anyway we passed up Superman since it had the worst line out of all of them. We decided to go on King Chaos (it had about a half hour wait) Let me tell you...I LOVE how they have King Chaos programmed during FF. So much fun!!!

It was cold and getting dark so I went and bought a hoodie. We went over to Cell Block A. It was kinda boring since it was all the army guys. I was messin with one since he was yellin in my face so I saluted him and stood at attention and called him Drill Sergent. He then corrected me and told me he was a leiutenant (more like yelled to me that he was) and he also found it fun to follow me and scream in my ear for awhile.

My mom was cold so we stopped in a store for awhile and looked around. I decided to go save us a spot by the season pass entrance of LAFF for the 8pm show. I sat front row on the right side next to the catwalk. I got a bunch of good pics and a few video clips. (PM me if you want the clips!!) I stopped and talked to Drak after the show for awhile. Got a pic with him too. I asked him how long he has been doing LAFF and what not. He started in 91 and has played Drak from 91-93, and 98-present. He also plans on continuing to star as Drak. (YAY!!!)

We walked through Tinseltown (it sucked, very disappointing) and headed to the parade area. Got funnel cakes and watched the Zombie Jamboree. (that song......i hate that song....it sticks in your head!!) I got a kinda dark video of the Parade as it drove by me. Well that's the end of my day...

UNTIL NEXT YEAR SIX FLAGS!!!!

The first thing I will do once I return either next weekend or the final fright Fest Weekend is head straight for the flash pass center for me and my brother. NO WAY will I wait 1 hour for any ride. In the cold. Never. Did anyone look how cool Roaring rapids looks drained? Is SWF area still untouched?

I know how you feel I just can't get it out of my head, My wife yelled at me because I kept singing it till we got back to Chicago ( almost 45 min)

yeah...im a little further south of chicago myself so it takes a bit longer...i had to drown out that song in my head with my MP3 player or I wouldve went nuts....I feel bad for the cast who has to listen to it EVERYDAY!! (well only the weekends but you know what I mean) lol

Glad you had fun, and glad you go to talk to Draky

[Ragingbullmaniac]

lol im glad too. at least he remembered me from the week before.

Note for Everyone: Videos.....
i tried gettin a bunch of videos from the show but it was hard because i was jugglin between pics, videos, and actually WATCHING the show. I got ALL of Time Warp, the last bits of Thriller and Devil with the Blue Dress, and I got the first minute or so of Monster Mash. I am uploading them to my Youtube and to my Myspace. Let me know if you want the link to one of my channels!!
