That'd be a cool place for a haunted Circus walk-through (And it would fit in the County Fair theme)

I don't think Larry will go up until a few days before FF opens due to it's sheer size.

I'm also 100% positive that someone will connect Larry to Harambe.

I don't think Superman, Batman, Goliath, and Xflight get renamed, but I'm just guessing off the top of my head.

To be honest I hope he gets renamed Harambe now... I know I am no longer calling him Larry :lol:

The rides that get rethemed are King Chaos to Blood Bath, Viper is Snakes on a Train, Giant Drop is Giant Drop of Doom (can someone correct me on that if i'm wrong?) East River Crawler was East River Kraken, and Eagle is Black Widow, Condor is The Birds Resurrected and Rue is Rue La Morgue or I can't remember what it was last year.

^ You forgot the most important. Chubasco is renamed Terror Twister II. Yes ERC is renamed ERK during Fright Fest.

Can't remember, is any extra themeing added to V2? It's definitely a different and more thrilling experience in the back during chilly late October nights.

Here's what I saw in terms of FF when i went today:

Big Top house is indeed in Kidzopolis, and Infestation is in the SWT Mission Plaza. Big Top looks like an absolutely massive maze btw. I can't comment on Infestation as they haven't started working on the actual house yet- only a border around the outside of it. Terror Twister 2 is back again, lights are still being set up, boards are done, and the black flap door things(idk what they're called) still need to be set up. Oh, also, by the looks of it, they might have some new lights as well. Hurricane Harbor will NOT be open for FF. The bridge between Yukon and Yankee Harbor is fully themed with Toxic Waste Bins. Ricochet, Whizzer, Viper, Demon, and Fling's theming are(for the most part) up. Eagle has been fully themed. There were a lot of Coffins with animatronic skeletons in them(only 1 was working). Pumpkin King's area is mostly up, but I'm not sure it'll be where Six Saint's Cemetery is. It does include an Orbit car btw(more on that in the 2016 updates thread). Most of the lights for LightmosFear are up.

I think that's pretty much it.

Yes I did forget TT II, sorry about that. Hometown Fun Machine used to be called Reactor Core as well but I don't think it was last year

Drove passed on the freeway yesterday, saw Tiny, but I'm starting to thing if those trees are on SF Property they need to be trimmed. You can barely catch a glimpse of her and the kids. Pretty soon there will be no need to put her up as the trees will block her. Maybe on the lift hill so you can see her from the midway.

only the inside of the turn around was lit up too, the outside appeared dark, perhaps they were changing bulbs or applying the light gels but it was dark from the road.

Hey everyone, new to the forum. I have a question regarding Fright Fest as I have never attended. I have a 6 and 7 year old that love coasters and we would like to get in a fall visit with our passes yet this year. Wondering what the crowds are like before the 6:00 PM "Scary Time" sets in. We would be getting to the park at opening. Especially looking at the weekends of the 8-9th and then that last weekend Nov. 5-6th. Thanks for your input.

I think that the crowds are not as bad as the "Fright Fest hours" Families like to visit before the actors come out. Then groups of teens come during the dark.

I'm planning on hitting up FF thus Saturday. Two questions: Will queues be crazy? Will Love at First Fright be showing?

Never been to Fright Fest's Opening Day, but Cam said it's always dead, so I'm hoping it won't be crowded.

I never said 'dead' per say, just less crowded if compared to other FF days. I'd expect average lines to be 20-30-ish minutes.

Love at First Fright should be showing Saturday. I'd recommend getting to the show at least 45 minutes early as it's very popular. Saturday's I think are the worst day to go. I went two saturday's last year and I got to the park around 5 not Opening Day but the other Saturday I went and it was insanely crowded to where people were making their own parking spots. It was crazy.
