I believe it says Wagon Tales.

The up-charges for the walk through attractions is getting a bit ridiculous.
$7 for one attraction, $15 for three and $50 for a VIP pass.
After paying to get into the park this is kind of steep.
If you have a family...this is going to get expensive.

We got 1 free attraction last night and so I did the new Mortuary Manor attraction that is actually located where Balin's Jungleland used to be.
The most frightening part of Mortuary manor is the line that is located on the old walkway between Kingda Ka and El Toro.
It is so dark you can't see the line in front of you...and I can't imagine it with a rowdy Fright Fest crowd.
With a VIP pass you will miss out on that part.
It was Interesting to have the ground get squishy when you hit the old Balin's Jungleland play areas.
This was a technical rehearsal so maybe it will get better.

Ironically, we absolutely loved that one Ken. Easily our favorite of the 4 major haunts.

The have you seen my son, have you seen my little dog ghoul was great and the book thrower was great to!

I'm guessing it wasn't in full operation when you saw it Wink

4 haunts. What is the 4th?
I suppose you didn't have to wait in that line. Wink

How was the rest of Fright Fest on a regular operating day?
Is there any noticeable difference from recent years.

Just go to Dorney Park if you live close enough. 30 bucks to walk in with 10 walk through areas. Tons of zombies in the walk throughs and way less lines. The Haunt at Dorney is where it is at. You will know what I am talking about once you are there and you look at the amount they give you vrs ga and all their upcharges. I love ga but I think they are way off base with all of their charges. $7 for a walkthrough when you are paying to get in already?

I'm just going to say that we went to Haunt at Dorney while I do not go into the Haunted areas there is NO UPCHARGE for any of the haunts . The upcharges at Six Flags are INSANE !! If we went with 5 people to pay at 7 bucks a haunt it would cost us 35 times 4 which is $140 bucks !! That is insane !! and that is after a group pays to get into the park !! Dorney has 10 free Haunts !!

Though the dance show Jamnation which is suppose to be PG 13 and Zombies coming to life was not half as good as Deadmans Party or the Ghoulmasters show !!

Ghoulmaster's Ghost is AMAZING once again, AND it is actually an ALL NEW show! This year's version has more of a storyline and is less Michael Jackson heavy. I was hoping that this year that it would feature more of a storyline, but I was pleasantly surprised when they not only did that, but went into backstories of the characters as well. And the special effects and illusions...well...you just have to see them.

Everyone from Six Flags should go to Universal for HHN. Then they can see how it's supposed to be done.

So has anyone been to Fright Fest yet? I'm curious if they actually themed the rides like they said they were going to in the website.

If you consider a few cob webs themeing.
Nothing as spectacular as mentioned.

Twister's exit a Knoebels is much, much better!

Fright Fest was not bad this year, but Dorney is better! The up charge for the trails is stupid, and Six Flags should really consider droping that whole thing. Also, I wish Six Flags would theme their trails better. I went through Demented Forest and it was nothing like I thought it was gonna be. It was being advertised as a "fantasy gone wrong". I was expecting twisted versions of characters from Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, and other fairytales.

I think "Escape From The Asylum" should be themed to Arkham Asylum from Batman. That would be scary and totally wicked at the same time. Joker should take control of the asylum and release all the inmates. Be even cooler if it was based off the video game Batman: Arkham Asylum! That would be so cool to see Joker, Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, Bane, The Mad Hatter, Poison Ive, and The Riddler all in the same trail! Batman's mission is to get you out alive. And of course bring back some regular inmates just for asylum effect.
