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.


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.


This sounds like it could work, the only problem is that there would be some guest that ruins it for everyone by trying to jump the fence and take a night swim. There may even be regulations that require lifeguards be present if there are more than x amount of guests in a waterpark at once.

See that's why I'm confused, if there's no water, why would one need lifeguards?

If there is water, you need lifeguards. If there's no water, it's dangerous to be running around a concrete bottom pit. I am saying that there are probably regulations that require so many lifeguards per guests if more than x guests are present. (1 lifeguard to every 150 guests for example) Most waterparks do not operate when the pools are not filled because it would be too dangerous, so the regulations would not specify that they only apply when pools are filled. I have no idea as to whether this exists or not, but considering that airlines are required to have 1 flight attendant per 50 seats (which is why you often times see a capacity of 199), it would make sense that there is something similar for waterparks.

Did you read my post. No actual contacts with pools except the lazy river which you walk through.

Well, getting back on topic, I really liked it this year. I also liked Binks' idea. But one thing that I would change is the 7 Sins cemetery. Unless it has changed since the 8th, it seemed like it was just a bunch of decorations plopped on the path and then they never got around to finishing them. I would say they should put stuff in each of them, and then in one or two have an actor, so when somebody looks in, they guy jumps up and scares them. Just a thought.

Yes, I did. It would never work. I've already explained why. It is too dangerous to be around drained swimming pools/lazy rivers, let alone walking around inside of them. The floor of the river would also be destroyed, you'd have garbage/decorations galore inside it come spring, and the surface is too slippery for walking on.

Wow, Twix I think you're missing the point. I've noticed you complain a lot. I think you need something to cheer you up a little bit.

So here's a marshmallow.

---Good job thinking up all those ideas. Maybe one day you'll own the park and they'll go into effect. I'll be sure to go then. Let me know what happens.

Since the 8th, they've added fences around all the crypts. Crypts for Glutteny, and anger. (So they have all 7 deadly sins) A Heart with red smoke, and a girl skeleton on lust. Rats and stuff inside the glutteny crypt. Moved sloth next to frenchy's put anger directly in front of sups. Added the wind effect and the mummy's inside Envy. Put the sign up on Envy. and various other details. Details are the best! I love the pride one the best but you can't see it now with all the smoke.

Fright Fest my way would include the Boo-Line again seeing as it was the best and scariest attraction ever to be at fright fest, not to mention the most popular of the free attractions. I still don't see why they took it out those fools.....
