Whats different about Fright Fest?

[da rcman2001]

I wish they would bring back the haunted train ride. im dying to ride it becasue i never got the chance to. I dont even know what it was called or what happened in it. Anyone wanna share some details?

[Sedir]

Wait, Dead End Drive?

The antique cars are called Dead End Drive during Fright Fest and they are decorated for Fright Fest, its more of a kiddie type ride.

Ohhhhh OK. I actually went on that before. (I forgot about almost everything thing at fright fest, the last time I went was in 2002)

It was called the Boo-Line and it was way better then the Scooby Doo s*** that is here now.

It was called the Boo Line. My only memory is of some director. He was yelling at this woman in an alien movie, but then they found out to alien was real and it attacked them. Then some pirate guys jumped on the train as it pulled out of Hometown Station.

These two weeks before fright fest i make myself depressed about fright fest and six flags by listening to we like to party, sandstorm, and the halloween theme song. I usually went every week or two this year. So three weeks will be bad. But i have a bunch of school stuff so i wouldn't have been able to go anyways.

What is different on the actual rides? Anything?

[SfGaMownz]

Some are thememed to Halloween.

*Chabasco(Terror Twister)- Dark ride and has loud techno music neon lights and fog

*Gaint Drop(Hellevator)- Sound effects and fog

*Great America Racewa(Hearsy Highway)- Halloween themeing, themed more towards kids

*Roaring Rapids(Blood River)- Boats have skeletons in them water is red.

*Rue Le Dodge(Rue Le Morge)- Dark ride with neon lights and music, it has been "Bodies" by Drowning Pool for the past 3 years or so.

*Sceinc Railway(Scooby Doo's Mystery Train)- Scobby Doo themed skit themed more towards kids.

Hope this helps, and there is also Superstition in the Motion Simulator which is a ride with Elvira.

Also,

The large wagon ride in Southwest is shut down each Fright Fest to make the line for the haunted house.

The arcade is hollowed out to make the haunted house.

The picnic grove is opened up to the public and the haunted houses are put up.

The run a freak show in a special section of the picnic grove.

They light the Eagle differently (darker red than white).

I think they change the music you can hear while on the Demon.

The parade is halloween themed (I know, not a ride)

It is really more about the street experience (monsters and characters the kids can meet) and theater shows than it is about changing the rides.

^all those have been mentioned in other threads, and since most of that is decorations, it seemed pointless to point it out, but, whatever.]

For Clarification:
The "Wagon Ride" is trailblazer
The Arcade and trailblazer are both uses for Sleepy Hollow 3-D.
Picnic Grove is Necropolis, with the Mausoleum of Terror Haunted House.
The "Freak Show" Is P.T. Scarum's Freeks and Geeks side Show. And is located in the Necropolis Paviloin, (Just outside the DOA Kampground).
And the parade falls under shows.

Shows:
Demon Revue
Legends
Zombie Jamboree
D.J. Bob
Manny B. Monster
Juggler's O' Death
LAFF
And Whatever is in Thetre Royale.
A Couple of years ago they had a second parade called "MArch of the dead" but that's gone.

[themanoftheland8]

Is it true that the Viper used to have a snake that popped down on the ride? It is a rumor I heard a while ago.

[SfGaMownz]

Uh there was a mechanical snake in a bag in the rafters that moved but it didn't reall pop down, the bag just moved around.

[Sedir]

You mean over the track?

[Ilovthevu']

Yes, it was towards the front of the station. They also had a snake (non-mechanical) in the building before the station. I think they put that one up for FF.

You just don't like this guy do you...

Well Binks, since I was directly answering themanoftheland8's question, by adding to the answer from sfgamownz, I just don't see why you think it was "pointless".

If the topic had truly been covered as well as you indicated, the question wouldn't have been there in the first place.

Ha! You've got to be kidding! I told my friend he was crazy when he tried to convince me of that.

[SfGaMownz]

No it was there the 1st few years. You could see it move if you looked up.

[LaTiNoObSeSeDSFGAm]

Hopefully I am going October 9th.

I didnt read the whole forum so I didnt know if they talked about this yet but did you guys see King Kong on the Sky Trak its up already.

[FrightFestChica]

Just as a lil side note for ya guys.. The entrance to Necropolis is now the exit.. so the exit is now the entrance. For those of you who arn't sure where that is.. The entrance is over by the kiddie areas. Thats how its set up as of now at least. (I personally hate it!) but oh well right?

[coastermaniac04]

I'm going on October 23rd (a saturday) ... any guesses as to how busy it will be?

[FrightFestChica]

Saturdays are usually our busiest day. Fright Fest is usually always packed except last weekend. Last year Halloween weekend was DEAD.

[LaTiNoObSeSeDSFGAm]

I like how it looks the way they are doing it now because last year the entrance didnt look right.

[Binks Drake]

Wow, that reverse necro thingy is weird, I guess I can see why they would do that though.

[FrightFestChica]

I dont like it. The exit it too small for the amount of people that go in. and now the maus line is going to be alllllll messed up. They also lost alot of hiding spots due to the change. so I hope it works out better than we are all expecting but so far no one cares for it.

[SFGAm Rules]

I think that they should make it so that you can enter/exit from either of the two ways.
