SFGadv123 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I just noticed that we start the earliest for fright fest. Anyone know why we start weeks before everyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsdude101 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 i think the park itself decides when they want to start. Either because dorney start the 13th (we need to compete with them) or they just decided to make it longer. 7 weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeholdGuy88 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I've read a good amount of this forum and it seems you have a few employees of the park. Question for employees: how can I go about becoming a zombie for frightfest weekends? I see that there's one audition left, september 18th, and I applied for costume characters. Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylirBrown98 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 At fright fest right now! And it looks like Total datkness AND The Manor are in the old simulator building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylirBrown98 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 The costumes are EXTREMELY TACKY. Its kinda disappointing. Straw Man Stalkers is very cool though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGadv123 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Anyone go on Total Darkness yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyc98 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 On Friday, it wasnt ready yet, along with the Manor. Only Voodoo, Asylum, and the Wasteland were ready. If anyone knows if the Manor and Total Darkness are ready, let us know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I went to Fright Fest today after arriving back in the USA from Europe this morning. I'll have a trip report tomorrow after a good nights sleep. Total Darkness was unique. As the name implies it is totally dark inside and guests are sent in groups of ten or so all holding on to a piece a rope. The lead person is given a small flashlight. Strange experience!

29yrswithaGApass Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 There are ghouls in there while you try to find your way through maze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I was at Fright Fest last night - the lines for the trails were pretty long. So far I've only done Wasteland and Asylum but I'm going to wait until I do all of them to gather an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylirBrown98 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I think the park should start closing at 12 and maybe even 1 just like the other parks do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGadv123 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Which trail was the best? My favorite was always the Asylum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anovio Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I went on Saturday and did all 5 of the three skull attractions. The Manor and Total Darkness were real disappointments. In TD we didn't even run into anybody for the second half of the maze. In the first half every so often somebody would whisper something back to us or slam on the walls. Neither one was that impressive. IMO if your time is limited you're much better off going to one of the three outdoor ones. Wasteland and Voodoo were really cool, the Asylum seemed to be missing people. It seemed like there should have been something happening in the second half of it in the strobe section. It just felt like there should have been people outside of the fence of something. There was a lot of confusion going on as far as the time trails would open. We kept getting different answers. Manor and TD opened around 5. I don't think Voodoo opened until about 7:15. the Asylum scarepass line is really poorly marked. You have to go to the end of the wall near a fence and then through an employees only door. I don't think many employees realize this yet because a lot were turning people away only for them to come back and insist they were supposed to be there. Once past the door you can clearly see the other line. I guess things were just a bit rough due to the new indoor attractions and the early start to the season. Everything was running except the log flume and you can see it's done for the year. The flash pass now supports the Safari. I thought it was excluded but apparently it's not.

The Master Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Straw-man Stalkers? They barely changed the name from Dorney's Corn Stalkers. That Total Darkness maze sounds stupid, Universal had a house like that one year and it was pretty weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Straw-man Stalkers? They barely changed the name from Dorney's Corn Stalkers. At least that isn't as bad as Dorney introducing "Psycho Circus" after Great Adventure already had "Circus Psycho"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
