Got to the park around 1pm. Got my tickets online for 28..bucks and some cents. Wife and I hit Biohazard 1st hen we went to LAFF which as usual was a fantastic show! Igor sat next to my wife during one of the numbers when the cast was out in the audience and looked at her anad acted like she scared the heck out of him. I laughed hard on that. Seems like all the scaracters were out to get my wife yesterday..lol. Then, after Laff we went to Aunt Martha's Chicken. I tell ya, I have never had such lousy food as this place had yesterday. All the good was cold. Wife and I ended up taking out food back and I asked for the manager who got us a litter hotter food. I'm not a big chicken fan but my wife is so I went there for her. After that, it was off to get our haunted house tickets. We each got the 4 house deal for 30 bucks and off to the Mauseleum we went. Necropolis was fun this year. Had a few DVD stunts that were really cool. One in particular I never saw before was a series of murders and suicides, but just shadows. I'm going to give all the scary stuff away, you'll just have togo and see for yourself. I will say that one of the dvd gags in particular was fun. We were watching it and I told this other girl that I never seen before that she had to get really close to it to see it. The rest is comic history . While in necro, we went to the maus. It was pretty good this year. Startled me a couple of times, got my wife good..lol. Next, it was to Massacure Medical Center. Great America outdid themselves with this one this year. By far, the best haunted house this season at the park, Kudos. next it was to Batman, Dark Knight. Fun Ride, most of the effects were working, but off time. Then is was time to hit AE. I was dissapointed that it wasn't racing and not going backwards. Oh well. Next was the Primal Scream house. This was in the Southwest Territory theater. It's got an jungle type theme. The characters kept calling me the "big one", as in "big one could feed me for a month". They were cannibals, I laughed my ass off..lol. Next we went to Studio 13. This one was better than in years past, had a creepy hallway closet theme that, well, You'll have to go thru it if you are brave enough..lol. It was fun. After that it is off to the best ride I have ever experianced on Raging Bull. Holy cow this bad boy was flying thru the course! The trims were on hard on the 1st camel back. I still flew up off my seat by a good 2 inches..lol. My 1st ever ride on Bull at night. Wow. There were quite a bit of Scaracters in the park too. The demons looked awsome and scared the hell out of my wife....Fantastic. The porcelein doll was back this year and i have to say, she is a very talented actress, never got out of character for a minute. The makeup and costumes on the new characters was very well done also. All in all ahd a blast. also, none of the fright rides had their new names up. I'll post the pictures as soon as I get a chance. I took these pictures with my wife's Iphone so bear with me. hope you like them. I couldn't figure out how to post them in my trip report. I wasn't feeling my best on Saturday either.

Candy: What you lookin' at? Otis B. Driftwood: I'm lookin' at you, mama. Candy: Yeah, you see something you like? Otis B. Driftwood: Maybe. I set my standards pretty low, so I'm never disappointed.
Thanks for sharing the pictures. The ride graveyard looks like one of the best things at Fright Fest this year, and I missed it. I didn't go in that area. I went as far as the train station in County Fair, and on the other side as far as the 2nd Southwest Territory entrance (right after Demon).
Whoever did the art on that stuff, did an awesome job. I wouldn't mind seeing that art on t-shirts. So, that's where that Sky Whirl cabin that was in back of Superman Ultimate Flight went. That traveled a long way. Maybe it's because they painted the fences for Superman line (on the way to the station), and the cabin they painted the same color, so they left in that area, and than hauled it to the back of the park.
Where's that Frog ride at? Sure, it's a kids ride, but that ride is so fun. The one I know of is at Six Flags Over Texas, and I just a kick out of that ride. I call it a stupid fun ride. This is a picture of the one at Texas, and it's a Zamperla ride: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/fi ... in_100.jpg Though, where is this one at? - It looks like a pumpkin farm...

The frog ride is at Bengston's pumpkin farm. I need to seperate the pictures into seperate photo albums and will maybe do it today. As far as the ride tombstones, you were maybe 500 feet away from them..lol. I think they are all made of marble too.

To me they looked like what they make real tombstones out of, I thought it was cool. My 8 year old thought they were cool to. he said Shockwave looked cool (the logo at least)
I really like the graveyard and even the cheesy sayings too
Side Note: Yay 100th post!
Don't fight the Bull, ride the Bull!
