Okay, topics like this come up every year, and I dont want anyone to think or turn this into a bash fright fest 2005 discussion because this year is amazing, so just try to keep this topic positive. I just think that these topics are fun.
So, if you were six flags or jpm productions inc, and you were in control of fright fest, what would you do? This years fright fest is already a great step in the right direction with the addition of area 51 and seven sins cemetary. What themed lands would you add, what characters would you want, what houses, ect.
Would you change the marketing and execution of fright fest (make it more family oriented, change it into a more intense event for the older crowds)?
I will post my ideas later, but right now I have an english paper to type.

Welcome to The O.C. biatch
Take out Santa. Keep Area 51. That's about it.
Keep Demon theming.
Oh, yes. Keep Demon theming year round. Make sure Terror Twister and Superstition come back each year.
I always thought it would be cool to have a corn stalk maze. A confusing, but fun FREE one. A cool place to put it would be in Splashwater Falls, it's dry anyways. Also, they could add some things in the Hurricane Harbor area now, similar to how Necropolis is set up. However, i would definitely want NOTHING changed from this year.
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter
Fangs Up Cobra Style!!! Chitown's finest resident here!!!!!
Make ALL haunted attractions free. 45$ to get in is plenty in my opinion.
Set a capacity limit for Saturdays. Less admission discounts/coupons. Pay staff a bonus for working those extra weekends=more attractions open *cough deja vu cough* More fog machines throughout the park. It would be cool to fill HH up with fog and make it a walkthru. Bring back "last blast" (Open 1st weekend in Nov) Broadway Joe
Bring back Brutal Planet! Get rid of the fact that we have to pay to get into the haunted houses. More Scarators. Less crowds on Saturdays! Hear that SF management????? Get rid of the buy one get one free admission ticket.
They would never do that. They way too many people because of that.
I like the idea of having Hurrican Harbor themed for Fright Fest, that would totally awesome, I like Trailblazer Tony's idea. That would be a lot of fun.

I would get rid of coupon deals and wouldnt allow people in with there season pass(i might create a gold higher priced season pass that would allow one ff admission.)
But as part of the admission price all haunted houses/mazes would be part of the admission with NO upcharge attractions. I would add more haunted houses /mazes and increase the hours till later in the evening/earlier in the am. Make it a special attraction like Knotts/Universal etc than just another hoe hom SF deal like it is now.
I would attend your version of frightfest Binks

"...and enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags"
No evil clowns!!!
An explanation of my crazy list...
Carousel Plaza The Mistress of Fright Fest Greets guests to the park As they enter the spookiest graveyard they’ve ever seen, surrounded by Six Flags manned Puppet Characters, the Cast of Tim Burtan’s Corpse bride, and a band of frightening Gypsys that encourance guests toward the field of screams haunted corn maze, and more. Guests will be shocked into the experience. Normal Saturday Schedule- Mistress: 10-3/4-Close in Necro Corpse Bride Characters and Puppets: 11-Close Gypsys- 2-Close Hometown Square/Suburban Nightmare The Quiet Suburban Town of Hometown Square is undergoing an epidemic of Lycanthope. Until a mad scientist named Dr. DeWulf comes along claiming he has a cure… This section is home to the first haunted house “High School Hell” On the outskirts of the quiet town (Inside Aunt Martha’s), what happens when high school really becomes…Hell… Characters: 2-Close Haunted House: 2-Close Southwest Territory/Dead Man’s Gulch The Classic Crew is back along with some new faces. As well as a tribe of Muerto Indians with a camp near the amphitheatre. Every inch of this section is a creepy scare zone, with the newly revamped DEAD AND BREAKFAST! Characters: 12-Close Haunted House: 1-Close County Fair/P.T. Scarum’s Circus of the Bizzare P.T. Scarum, our favorite Side show host has turned the entire county fair into his own personal circus. Freeks and Geeks walk the streets, but you haven’t seen nothing’ until you enter the main attraction, the Circus of the Bizzare Haunted House, Located in he Skeedadle arcade. Side Show Times: After Dark every 1:30. Characters: 2-Close Haunted House: 2-Close Yankee Harbor/Brutal Planet The Original BRUTAL PLANET returns in Yankee Harbor. But if you really want a thrill head to Angelos for a tour of the hospital… Characters: 1-Close Haunted House: 2-Close Mardi Gras/Area 51 It’s hometown Square this year…in Mardi Gras! Including the Curse of Sleepy Hollow 3-D inside the Bayou Grill. Characters: 12-Close Haunted House: 1-Close Orleans Place/Seven Sins Cemetary Wouldn’t Change a thing. Characters: 2-Close Picnic Grove/Necropolis The Same Characters- 2-Close Haunted House: 2-Close Hurricane Harbor/Jungle of Fear Entering the Jungle of fear, guests are entertained by a group of Rodeo Clowns in the southwest portions. But as you move futher along the entrance path, things begin to untie. Prisoners are loose from the harbor prison, and you get the sense of two rival gangs. High Profile Characters include Warden Snyder, Warren Black, the leader of the prisoners, And The leader of the Slayer gang. As you enter the Main area of Hurricane Harbor, the prison looms inside hurricane Hanks. The Prison haunted House is a Free walk through, as you find yourself inside a prison with no locks, no doors, just a corrupt warden and a gigantic gang war. As you exit the Haunted House guest are given a choice of two paths. One leading over the wave pool where Fallen Giant is situated. The other choice, (Which one would have to go to after Falen giant anyway) takes guests into the lazy river, where we switch from a prison motif to the other side of the island. Slave characters and zombies abound as guests exit out the lazy river from the blue tube entrance, bringing them to the entrance of Haunted House # 3 in HH “The Most Dangerous Game” The line is set up where tube rentals are, and small stage is set up for the story to unfold to guests. Based on the Short story “The Most Dangerous Game” guests are told of a rich man who enjoys hunting humans, and you’re his next victims. Venture through his run down island mansion and then out into the open island where everyone is out for murder! Guests are ushered out of the haunted maze by the butler and turn back to the prison area where they are directed by fences, corn stalks, and hay bales to the exit side of the HH path, which is also home to the various prison characters. Prison Break- 1-Close Street Characters: 2-Close Fallen Giant: 2-4/5-Close Most Dangerous Game: 3-Close Yukon Territory As night falls, looney tunes spooky town isn’t so looney anymore. Friday and Saturday Nights only, be prepared as a new haunted house plagues the night inside the Looney Tunes Lodge. FEARANOIA, but it’s not a game, each section of this house is directed toward one or more of your basic human fears. Death, the dark, spiders, heights, and more… Fridays: 7-Close Saturdays: 5-Close
The Vekoma died on its own, it's not staffing. I'd make Hurricane Harbor another Necro-like area. Make like a haunted circus type deal. Tunnel a lot of the tracks on rollercoasters. Basically theme EVERYTHING instead of just select attractions. EDIT: One Star..*
Binks, I would so come to your Fright Fest that sounds totally awesome, I like the whole prison ordeal in HH, that would be so cool. I'm sure a lot of people would attend to it, I know I would.

Trust me when I say I've given that a lot of thought.
Add double the charactores in all areas, add characters were theres not, turn Hurricane Harbor into Islands of the Dead!!!!
Make all haunted houses BIGGER, SCARIER!
I like that idea, turn Hurricane Harbor ino Islands of the Dead that's a good idea, or make it into another haunted trail but with dead pirates, and other stuff that have to do with the islands, I think that would be a good a go idea.

That would never work. It's dangerous to be around drained pools. It's also dangerous to be running around filled pools. If the water was still in them, then you would need lifeguards. And this would obviously be at night, so it would be hard to see. There are no lights in Hurricane Harbor and if the idea is for it to be scary, bringing in portable lights would only make it less scary. I don't want to be running around next to a pool that I can't see.
eh yeah Twix you have a point there, I never even thought of that. Ok never mind scratch that idea didn't even think about it so bad idea.

Ok. By staff I mean maintence too! Broadway Joe
Wow. Don't you think that if meaintenance could fix it, they would? Do you honestly think that the reason that Deja Vu still isn't open is because there isn't enough maintenance?
In the plan in my head for "Jungle of Fear" The guests would be ushed along the exit path (It's smaller and better for trafficking) into the main plaza area. on the right is Prison Break area, you go over the bridge, and most will turn right, the family slides area is blocked off by fencing, hay bales, corn stalks etc... And the line for Fallen Giant begins right there at the turn, so no worry about the wave pool. the regular walk thorugh continues down to the tornado area, which obvisouly isn't built yet, but even if it was it could be blocked off, then guests are ushered into the lazy river. More trafficking, and lots of monster-y action. They exit out the blue tube entrance, back into the main plaza. Guests are only permitted to walk one direction in the lazy river area, becuase it is so small, they must exit at blue tube, and enter at yellow tube. They then come upon "The Most Dangerous Game" and then exit out the entrance side, because as they leave, trafficking no longer matters. No actual pool encounters.
yeah that does sound better, good idea Binks I like it now that you described it that way I like it a lot.
