I believe it will open after Sept. 24th.

Aww, I was hoping to get food there and go right over to the Awakening.

Does anybody know if Macho Nacho 2 is open yet?

I like the Skyway because it's an actual transportation ride compared to some other parks like Hershey and Knoebels where it is just a round trip ride.

I'd like to see us get a ride like that. Sometimes you feel like riding a relaxing ride, and we don't really have any of those.

The Skyride and Parachutes are the two most vulnerable rides at the park today.

Wouldn't be too disappointed. I'd love to see a monorail or something along the lines of that instead. They recently broke down for about 30 minutes and then started up again, but they were probably going 1 foot every 5 seconds. They don't seem very safe anymore.

^Yep. Skyride feels like it's in good shape, but I could easily see the chutes disappear by 2020.

I can't. What would they put there instead? We already have Sky Screamer, and it still pulls a decent line.

Manor is very short, so even if they find it 'scary' it'll be over fast. Blackout is the least scariest for me personally, the dark doesn't scare me, and its hard to get scared by ghouls you can't even see. The only thing that might get me to jump is an unexpected air effect or loud noise.

I had the worst experience in Blackout. They put 8 of us on a single rope, and at that first air cannon, the people in the front started screaming and stopped, and then didn't move and continued to keep screaming and wouldn't move and they told us to go in front. We continued moving and the same thing kept happening, so I told my brothers "I'm leaving" something like that, and I climbed under the rope and they followed me, and we left. We stayed around to see when they got out, and it took them awhile. It wasn't scary, and was just really frustrating because they put too many people on one rope. You should not be put with other people unless you're 1 or 2 people.

Has anyone ever bought a ticket for The Haunted Heist? I kind of feel like they'd end up making more money (because there a arcade games in there) if they just included it in the regular trail pass. Is there any reason why it's not? Is it owned by Mama?

The entire ride. Neal Thurman "announced" it during his Q&A at Riding of the Bull yesterday. They've had the fins for a while, but still haven't gotten around to putting them on.

Do you have a video of the Q&A? I'd love to hear some of the questions and his responses.

Will anyone be going for Fright Fest Preview Night?

I will be

Can't help ya here but I always read about problems people have with the membership and that's why I chose to just pay in full again. Doesn't seem worth the headache to deal with the membership.

I've never had a problem with my membership, and I've had it for about 3 years now.

I'm all for a dive coaster. And if they did a poll "Get rid of Bizarro and get a dive coaster" I think most people would vote yes.

A bit off topic, but why don't theme parks ever let the guests decide what ride to build? Like, if the company had 2 ride ideas, and they both thought they would be good for the park, why wouldn't they let the guests decide in a poll? I think that would be pretty cool.

It would cost less to move GL to another park and relocate Bizarro to the GL spot. As mentioned before, why convert a standuop to a floorless when you already have the world's first floorless in house?

I don't think they'd ever move Bizarro to another spot.

 

There's no such thing as "leaves money." If Six Flags gives us a flat package, that's all we get. That's all they've decided to give to us and all they've decided to allocate to us.

I know, I just meant money wouldn't be a big issue.

Bizarro is too big for Great Escape in actual size and in scope. It would be just like when Chang went into Kentucky Kingdom. Too much for a park of that size.

 

I do agree that one of the other parks (SFGAm, SFStL, SFOG, SFOT) could use it and it would fit their parks.

 

As for GL, I get that it's not your favorite, but they would never spend the millions on making it a floorless for GA. They might if they moved IT to another park, but it would make no sense to turn it into the same coaster they have already with Bizarro just to move Bizzaro out of the park. It just would be pointless.

 

I think it's pretty obvious that the logical next new coaster would be an RMC. They're not spending B&M money right now for a decent sized coaster.

People are guessing next year we're going to get a flat package, that won't be a ton of money, which leaves money to convert GL into a floorless. And I actually prefer the GL track layout to Bizarro.

Bizarro takes up a very big plot of land and it's low popularity makes it a mark for relocation to various smaller parks.

I'd be fine with them taking Bizarro out (especially if they turned GL into a floorless)

That would be under the category of technician. Call up and see if they have any stage hand spots!

If it's not available on the website, is it still worth it to call?

Do you guys know if Fright Fest employees get passes for the trails?

It can get up to an hour wait on busy days.

...well I don't like it, so it's gotta gooo

I'd love to see GL go. It pretty much never has a line, and is the most painful ride in the park. Give that to La Ronde or America (they can be the first park to have 2 stand-up coasters)

I was wanting more of like a backstage job for one of the shows. I remember during the HITP show, there were some stage people who would kind of set up some of the scenes with props or whatever.

I think it's just a way of covering everything. I know for a fact they need more techs which I think is what they meant by support staff.

How do I find out what the exact jobs are? The only Fright Fest jobs they have on the website are "Fright Fest Ghouls"

One thing I do have to say is that with all these recent additions since 2011 we have not lost any rides which is such a huge blessing compared to 2008 when they went throwing out rides left and right.

Roller Thunder....?

- A real vegetarian burger, not a black bean patty. (The black bean patty they use is also Gardein, and Gardein has regular vegetarian/vegan burgers, so I'm not understanding why they'd go for the black bean)

It says "Scare-actors and support staff are needed"

What's the "support staff" job?

Maybe you haven't gone on Fridays?
