SFOT just announced a monster of a Haunt with 5 IP based Haunted Houses/Mazes. Wonder where that leaves Great America?

As far as I know, the only parks getting these new mazes are Over Texas and Great Adventure, I haven't heard anything about any other park

In the original press releases, Texas Chainsaw Massacre was supposed to be exclusive to NJ. This is an interesting update for sure: https://variety.com/2024/film/news/six- ... 47342/amp/ Last edited by Tidal_Waver on July 18th, 2024, 2:51 pm, edited 3 times in total.
I mean, how can Over Texas not have Texas Chainsaw Massacre Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back
LOL
The park is applying for Fright Fest permits today. I see permits for Stranger Things, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and SAW 20.
Oh wow!! That would be super awesome with that line up.
Not sure if anyone noticed but during the 5am press conferences for the new coaster it was announced that another big announcement for fright fest is coming in the next week. So we should have details soon on houses and scare zones.

Here is a screenshot of the Fright Fest permits after they were exported from the Village permit site.
I see only 5 houses. Does this mean we are losing one completely with the Bloodshed plot?
I'd rather lose Big Top Terror

This article confirms the Haunted House Lineup. We are now down to 5 from 6. That should increase the lines a bit come the later weekends in October.

Wow that seems great! Ever since Great America got rid of glow in the dark parade, they never really had a "fantastic" end of the day celebration they deserve, fireworks are cool and all but this is something a lot more unique!

This is the best SFGAm has to offer for entertainment in my opinion. It’s the kind of thing that will attract people from the highway, like how Magic Kingdom fireworks attract from across the lake. I know nobody cares about Beetlejuice being thrown in, but some people will, like one of my GP family members. I told her about the show and she seemed really excited, especially because Beetlejuice was involved.
I like the Fireworks, i just wish they were a bit more elaborate, but i guess they don't have the budget for that
Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back
Drone shows are pretty awesome, I was blown away with KI's 50th. Would be awesome to have them at SFGAm, but only for two nights???

This years map/guide is out on the website. Turns out 13th Orders location is not being used this year, so the park can easily ramp back up to 6 houses if it ever chooses to:

^Or better yet, they can completely tear down 13th Order and give us that walkway back
"no Mercy" huh? Well rip everyone who's gonna pretend to be "blind" to not get scared Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back
Hope that means LAFF: No Mercy.... Well I can dream that idiots can't complain about an adult show after hearing warnings, but if a parent can complain that an R Rated film Bloodsucking Freaks can offend her child, you can complain about anything End Rant, Keeping my Soapbox 943 Coasters around the World!

Super pumped for opening day!! Have fun and be safe out there!
Yeah, we could use that for some extra seating for....oh. Wait. Claim Jumpers is rarely ever open.  Remember when Haunted Houses were setup in a modular manner and could go up and down within 2 weeks? I remember that. I'm sick and tired of seeing them up all year taking up spaces that could be used for something else. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Have to agree. I still don't understand why Bloodshed's boards and such sat there for the whole season. The park could have just gotten a forklift and put them in the employee parking lot or even the back of the picnic grove for all I care. Speaking of Claim Jumpers, I think the park should just destroy it to not only have more room for a Haunted Attraction, but it would work out since Cartoon Cabin is the Fright Fest shop, so it would make sense for it to be an exit shop if they wanted to alternatively place a full-on Haunted House there. I also think they should just retheme Cartoon Cabin to something like "Creepy Cabin" since all that place does is sell Fright Fest stuff. I legit thought it was a Looney Tunes store before I found out that El Mercado existed.
