I think fright fest is great this year. Way better than last year. I think Necro is the best place. The actors there are really great, all of the actors at fright fest are great but the necro actors just stood out to me. I think that if necro got a few more actors it would be even better. SWT should have more chractures as well. The Pirates are great. Over all this fright fest is an awsome production, to all at JPM you are doing a GREAT JOB!

I didnt realize that this quote is over a year old until I looked at the date!!! So think about it there talking about 2002 Fright Fest or 2001...

Way better this year...

I have a couple of questions...First off, what's a "boo" line? and is Necropolis scarier at night? B/c I've only been through it during the day ('cause I'm a pansy!) Anywho, I'm glad to hear that there was more people out to scare you this year but I have to say bad theme is a deal breaker for me. I was a little dissapointed last year. And I was VERY dissapointed in the train ride last year! They need to cut out that Scooby Doo stuff... I heart Scooby Doo but at least change the plot... I don't want the bad guy to be in a gorilla costume for the third year in a row! I totally remember one year they had a headless horseman on a real horse that galloped up next to the train one year and I thought that was pretty cool. Also, am I making this up but wasn't their a train ride about a "Pigman" or something? I remember liking that story better then the Scooby Doo one.

Boo Line is the name of the old train ride with Ded wood. and Yes, I'd say necro is scarier in the dark. Yes it's the same Scooby Doo Again. and The headless horsemen was from the 2003 SDMT. They couldn't get another in 04, and this year they just changed the character. Pigman was the 01 train show.

Want bad crowds? Go back to the summers of 2001-2002-2003 where you couldnt even get into the park half the time, now we complain when a little bit of the over flow lot is open. I went on some days when the entire thing was filled up, and that was with all that room that hurricane harbor took up still there.

This is one of the more less crowed FF i have been to, this is one of the less crowed seasons i can remember.

We had a population of 49,100 in the park last Saturday. Can you handle that?

They pretty much go after whoever they feel like.
If you stare, They will chase you.
If you don't stare they will walk up next to you and scream.
If you ever stop to talk to someone, they will all stand behind you very quietly.
If you don't do any of the above things...chances are one will find a way to get you anyway.

First off i highly doubt that, that is an accurate attendance level but any way. I just know that back in 2001-2002 and a little into 2003 the park was packed and every ride had all of its que houses open and most of the lines still spilled out into the park, i remember many days when even shockwave was like that. I remember wait for dejavu back in 2002, the line started by the railroad crossing. Batman the ride, the had to use the entrance that was by jesters wild ride. Iron wolf all of the que houses were open and the line started by the train station. We are living in the less crowded era of six flags, so dont complain people!

The point is that this season has not had that many crowds, and people pulling false numbers out of the sky does nothign to disprove what i am saying. 04-05 have been one of the most enjoyable seaosons for me cause they have been less crowded.

Actually JG, we did hit 49,000 on Saturday, and most of the things you described happened. Batman was using the Jesters Entrance, and then curved back around to Whirligig. Cajun's line was in yankee. Sup's was all the way back by Bugs Bunny and co. Infact, the only coaster Line I noticed that didn't spill out into hte midway was Whizzer, (Full Que) and Demon (Used the excess que, I've never seen used before).

I concur, the park was over 49,000 on Saturday. Hit that number around 8-9 that evening. Remember these numbers are for park attendance and some of those people could have already gone home.

It was wall to wall in the Yankee Harbor Bridges. Batman and V2 had lines going what seemed like everywhere.

Park attendence did hit 49,000. It was the highest attendence total in like 7 years. The haunted houses made a shit load of money. Park attendence wasn't as high as some years but still above average, it just didn't always look like it in the park because so many were in the water park.

Blood River is "Roaring Rapids" or whatever the raft ride is normally called. It wasn't even open last weekend and had no water in the canals.
