IBOK Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Yeah, that's where the "too cool in my 20's" came from. I went to so many other haunted attractions that it didn't seem worth the time or money to try GA trails. Times are different now and actually looking forward to it even if they don't compare. I also want to gauge if it's time to get my oldest kid in there yet. We will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodshed and the clown one were the 2 scariest in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Another good tip if you're not sure about scare threshold is to start on the outdoor trails as soon as they open. There's usually enough time to complete 1-2 before the light completely runs out, and they're considerably less scary that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashacar Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Later in the season it can be. But for the first few weeks you have a solid 45-60 mins before the light is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) I remember them from the 90s, wasn't Bundy also Capt Cuttlefish? Sounds like SF is trying to copy the Bill and Ted show at HHN, with the mature humor which often isn't funny in a live show. HHN also had the Lizard man for a few years entertaining guests in line for a haunted house. Edited July 29, 2016 by The Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Interesting that SFMM is doing a Suicide Squad themed FF attraction. https://twitter.com/SFMagicMountain/status/759885111345057792 Interesting also that the logo is generic "Six Flags" branded so it could be used in any park...

SatansHockey Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 That would be awesome to have that here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 I don't think GA has any facility that could house a really elaborate maze/haunt indoors. Magic Mountain has several large theaters they use for Fright Fest indoor attractions and get very elaborate (they have to compete with Knott's Scary Farm and Halloween Horror Nights).

ericthewanderer Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 If SF does build a Suicide Squad attraction,the most important thing is they get someone dressed like Harley Quinn !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungPup Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Cell Block 6 could be a cover name for a SS haunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 What other information do we have about what exactly this is? According to Park Journey's reply to MM's tweet, it's a Scare Zone. https://twitter.com/Park_Journey/status/759901292349100033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Fright Fest will wrap up on Halloween night (Oct 31st) and not the first weekend in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) ^Will early November then be the same limited-ops situation as last year? Or closed until HITP? EDIT: The website says FF goes through November 13. Classic SF.... Edited August 10, 2016 by pashacar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 They will be open and I would imagine with the same closures as last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 The hours on the park calendar make it look like non Fright Fest operating days in November. The first weekend has closing times of 9 pm and the 2 weekend has closing times of 8 pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 It definitely was advertised for a while that FF ran into November. The app still says it runs until Nov. 6th. Rage of the Gargoyles runs until Nov. 13th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yeah, the app is where I saw it as well. Still shows as through 11/13 there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungPup Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 So passes should've gone on sale yesterday at Dare Devil Dive for the "cheapest price of the season". Anyone have any idea how much they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungPup Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 To answer my own question, it's $22. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
