I'm anxious to see how the clowns do in County and the demons do in Mardi. Now it sounds like the demons are gonna be overrunning Mardi and Orleans...even though I heard Orleans was gonna be a scarefree zone. I hope Gates of Hell and Apocalypse are good. I'm looking forward to my favorites again of MMC and Manslaughter. Can't wait for Saturday to finally get here.
Going to the park on Coulmbus Day, what do you think I should expect with the crowds? I have school off, but I got some friends that don't. Just how many kids actually have the day off? Even if they did, would they wanna go on that Monday? I really don't care about the size of crowds (at SFGAm) ever, but I'm interested in how it'll play out Columbus Day.

But I don't know about you, this may just be me, but Fright Fest is just time to ride coasters for me I don't necessarily look forward to fright fest, I look forward to riding the rides more. Although I do like the music, and I like seeing others being harassed by the scare actors. They don't really mess with me, I think that's because I'm at least half a foot taller than majority of them. If anything, Fright Fest is a sad time for me because that means the season is almost over :'(. And sometimes, the weather can just get plain harsh. I've ridden Raging Bull in a light hail before, fun but painful.
This is pretty much how I feel. Thanks for saving me the time of typing it all.
It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? (Sorry in advance for unnecessary commas and parenthesis every where)
I won't be going to FF this year. Wish i could though.

This, combined with the description seems to clearly indicate Gates of Hell is a large section of the Picnic Grove (entering through Ragin' Cajun like Necropolis did last year).
It is safe to assume the House of Torment is the former Mausoleum. There is no free walk through. That is clear. The only question is what happens between the six houses and whether you have to go through all six (and in the same order) every time.
I hope there will be a free walk through that just hasn't been announced yet. While the Bermuda Triangle walk through last year was not the best, it gave something to do. However I'm really interested in the boo line because I never got a chance to do it in previous years

I don't think shipwreck of horrors is a walk through but instead just the hurricane harbor scare zone but it could still include the lazy river walk through

Ditto, except for the past couple or seasons, September/October has been the beginning of my SFGAm season (as well as end)- though I get the feeling that the operating calendar used to have more colored squares on it in non-peak season months.
The next time I take in a maze or haunted house will be the first. Riding coasters in an October chill is something special, however, and reason enough to endure a stupidly crowded park for me.

Yes and yes. My guess would be busy, but not insanely busy like you get nearer to Halloween.

Same. I read that it is supposed to take about 20 minutes to walk through.
