Any predictions as to how busy the park will be this Saturday?? This is my first time going to Fright Fest (but DEFINITELY not first time going to SGFAm, it's so addictive)... so yeah... any predictions??
coasters = ALL THAT MATTERS
Busy as is every fright fest Saturday. Doesnt help that DePaul, Roosevelt, Coloumbia, and NIU will all be there that day.
EEEK! Why will all of those schools be there? I knew it would be busy but that just sounds scary.
it will be nasty on saterday... but there are tricks to get around the masses of people...1. come when the park first opens if you even want to conseder getting on a ride 2. around noon or oneish when the sun is out and it is warm all of the familys will be out so at that time i usaly leave the park, get my hand stamped, and go out to eat at ihop or something. (yes i would do this if i wasent working there all day) 3. durring the night dress warm, my advice would be to bring layer apon layer and keep some of them in the car. dont even atempt to go on any of the rides the lines are insaine but the shows will be nice and warm so those are fun and bacicaly it will be more scary. (then again that is when all of the Crazys come out so be on your gaurd) then you can catch the praid and go home a happy camper!

The third Saturday of Fright Fest is always the busiest. Last year we reached park capacity, over 48,000 or something like that. They were turning people away. should be fun!

Hey!!! Are you looking at my Axe???
Yikes. Looks like I may have to keep my club a lot handier than usual. Big crowds = trolls on high alert. The bigger the crowds are, the better our chances of getting the tar beaten out of us. For Pete's sake...I'm making the plea again: Please, PLEASE tell all of your friends not to touch the characters. ESPECIALLY the trolls. We're defensive out of necessity, and someone WILL wind up getting accidentally hurt if we're not given the proper space.
Alright, im seeing alot of crowd prediction topics now.
First off, it's impossible to predict crowd sizes. But since it's Fright Fest and there are only a limited number of days the park is open during this event here is what to expect. Saturday's: Any Saturday of Fright Fest expect it to be packed no matter what the weather is like. Sunday's: It depends on the weather, if it's nice expect it to be packed. If it's not expect moderate crowds. Friday's: The best day to go by far, bad weather the park will be empty and good weather crowds will still be light compared to Saturday and Sunday. Now you could go by that, or you could just go to http://magic8ball.com and ask what crowds will be like. Go Bulls!

What do you mean that they will be there (for what)?
They have discounted tickets to go so that must be when all the schools are planning their organised trips. They are just there because that happens to be the day they chose to go.
I'm going too, but it's going to be buzy, and packed. Expect short lines in the morning, and long lines in afternoon and night. GO SEE LOVE AT FIRST FRIGHT, IT ROCKS!!!!

go see the stupid puppet people dance on stage. god, i love and hate doing that dance. its so corny, but for some reason its alot of fun. look for me. im in the ugly which costume from 10-1. then its off to necro for some twin scares.
Where is there a puppet show? Across from Cartoon Network area?
I believe he is reffering to the oversized puppet characters at Front Gate and in front of the Carousel 10am to 1pm.

Basically I am going by what has happened every year that I have worked Frigh Fest. The third Saturday of FF is that largest crowd of any day, historically. So, with that in mind, and the fact that the Thundershowers are supposed to end early, expect a near capacity crowd Saturday with another very busy day on Sunday. Big Mike
Hey!!! Are you looking at my Axe???
Ah.. I don't think I've ever seen that. I'll have to check it out. Thanks buddy
If you all want to know what Saturday's crowds will be, first of all, remember it is Fright Fest with 70 degree weather with possible storms in the morning. Therefore, the morning will probably be not as bad, but into the day and night, expect maxium capacity crowds, they will have to turn people away. Every line in the park will have full queue and out, RB will be by Viper, and Deja Vu, which will probably be open, will have a 2.5-3 hour wait.

Marathon down, Goofy to go.
So how are the Haunted Houses this year? Are they worth going to? Is there anything this year that wasn't there last year, like something major? I'm going today and was planning on going to the haunted houses but i don't know if there anygood this year.
The Masoleum of Terror is alot better than last year. Monsters come out and scare people. THere is not much gore at all.
I never screamed , but I jumped a few times. Its better but nothing to make scream. Crystine

i went to the sleepy hollow 3-d one lastnight.... it was ehh... a lot of the people that came out to scare you were pretty predictable... u could see the door areas where they would come out.. but it was still pretty good.. considering it made you "jump" a lot... coasters = ALL THAT MATTERS
It was allright, but I sware the parked was cursed by a rainman until like 12:30 or so. We were waiting for Batman to open, and everytime they began to re-test the ride, it would rain again!
Other than that, we got on every coaster expect Wolf, Demon, and Eagle
