Yoshi Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I am very happy to see the park open those days during the week after Labor Day. I know not all schools are in session yet but I don't think it will be that crowded. I'm going to try to get there one of those days.

acq10uaz Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Since they are already expanding Labor Day weekend, do you have any idea if they are going to add Halloween and the first weekend in November like SFNE just did? Or would they have to pushback Grape Adventure to do that? Edited August 10, 2013 by acq10uaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I hope they do that. Even if Fright Fest is only on Friday November 1st at night, and then Saturday and Sunday night after Grape Adventure ends for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Since they are already expanding Labor Day weekend, do you have any idea if they are going to add Halloween and the first weekend in November like SFNE just did? Or would they have to pushback Grape Adventure to do that? Great Adventure's last day for the theme park this year will be October 27th. Next year Fright Fest will run for 8 weeks and be open for Halloween, closing on November 2nd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
