As I understand it, it's all four haunted houses for $25, and there's a season pass discount of $5.

It'd be nice if you could just get four tickets to one house though, since I think SAW is the only one we're going to check out being that we're going on a friday and only have six hours in the park.

If you have a season pass you pay $20. They give you 4 tickets, one for each attraction. :twisted:

Have not seen it mentioned, but the two smaller haunted trails, Area51 & Backlot Terror are free with season pass.

There should be more fog. I saw maybe 4 machines in use throughout the entire park. They need to do fog Cedar Fair style and engulf the park (somewhat like they did closing day 2008). Fog brings atmosphere to the park, if there is a "creepy" atmosphere to the park the actors and theming will be more effective. They also started to play the pop music again which killed the atmosphere. The set up around the park is really nice this year. I really like what they did with necropolis and the sections around the park.

Bottom line, from giving it 2 days of chances to live up to the claims.....WEAK! Saw house is not worth the time or money spent. I was dumb enough to spend the cash to get into the Saw house, because its the newest, most hyped part of Fright Fest. after my walk through there, i decided to not waste any more money on any of the other houses. if they coudlnt make that place work, how good do you think the other houses are going to be? i spent alot of sunday night at guest relations complaining.....about saw, the characters who are happier talking to guests than doing their jobs, which should be scaring (and yes, it was at night, when the park is supposed to change into a scare zone), and the fact that one of the blood covered characters actually bumped into me, and i have a perfect imprint of their face on my white sweatshirt which has not washed out. all they had to say was sorry, and walked away. thanks for ruining an $85 sweatshirt. deco is lame. tossing a few decorations on a ride and adding some sound effects doesnt make it scary. its still the same ride ive been on all summer. yeah, its first weekend, but that hasnt mattered in the past. whetehrr its day one or last day, the past characters have always been the same intensity. shouldnt have tried to fix what wasnt broken. im glad i have a season pass and didnt waste money on gate prices. you people need to get a clue and quit while you are ahead. where is the mayor by the way? hes on the sign out front, but i didnt see him anywhere. this kind of let down makes this girl never want to come to this park ever again. dont waste your time, or fall for the excuses these other people who are hyping it up (who are obviously employees) tos at you. it not worth your time. if you are going for the rides, its still a good time, but as far as the rest of the experience goes, stay home and watch some flick on cable. much scarier. DEAR SIX FLAGS......Quit while you are ahead.

^ You obviously have absolutely NO idea what Fright Fest is.

Does anyone have any idea how to give a review without completely bashing the event. I am sorry you did not enjoy Saw Live - but do you even have any idea how difficult it is to get the amount of people at the park through that house that are at the park.

And the themed rides are NOT supposed to be scary, just different. Realistically, how can you make a spinning flat ride "scary?"

And I must also apologize, giving feedback is one thing - but to discredit the hard work the employees put in to create the biggest haunted event in the area is just plain ignorant.

But now you know what Fright Fest is, and hopefully you'll stay away for years to come!

People are allowed to give their opinions im sure when I go I will feel the same way. Fright Fest isn't scary, and when people post things that make it out to be better then it is that is misleading. I am more shocked that you paid 85 bucks for a sweater, that is insane my car insurance isn't even that much.

People are entitled to their opinion, and some will like Fright Fest, some won't. I enjoyed it, and I went in with low expectations. What is not scary for you, maybe scary to somebody else, so to say that comments, and reviews are misleading saying how good it is are completely false. BTW, $85 for a sweater?

If you didn't like it, then don't go anymore. I still have yet to go so don't ruin it for people who haven't gone yet.

As for SAW LIVE, it wasn't so scary, but it recreated the movie extremely well. All the props looked dead on.

If I have the money I might go in, I want to experience it myself and see if it's good or not.
