KIBeast Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Halloween is indeed a holiday. What have you people been smokin'? What makes you believe that Halloween is not a holiday? And, just because you don't get holiday pay does not mean it's not a holiday. That has absolutely nothing to do with anything. BTW, it was originally called All Hallow's Eve.

Alien Seed Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Didn't you people see The Nightmare Before Christmas? There was a tree for every real holiday, and Halloween was one of them. This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Pumpkins scream in the dead of night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I think the Adams family coaster sounds dumb. It will be cool if it is done right but I dont see them doin it. I'm willing to say that a short Fearfest may just not include the first weekend in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ Halloween isnt a holiday its a day for kids and to be scared but is not a holiday sorry guys...The Nightmare Before Christmas is just a movie a great movie I might add but I'm sorry I just dont think Halloween is a holiday.But yes I hear FearFest will be short like boddaH said.

KIBeast Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 That's fine if you feel that Halloween is not a holiday. But, last time I checked my caledar, it is a nationally recognized holiday. I guess you don't think presidnt's day or Martin Luther King Day is a holiday either? I am just wondering why you think Halloween is not a holiday.

Browntggrr Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Ok, exactly what is the definition of a holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium13 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 holiday \Hol`i*day\, a. 1. Of or pertaining to a festival; cheerful; joyous; gay. --Shak. 2. Occurring rarely; adapted for a special occasion. There you go. I also think Halloween is a holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Yes, Halloween is a holiday. Being a father of a 3 and 2 year old, the only holiday that is more meaningful than Christmas is Halloween. (You just can't beat Santa) My wife and I split time taking our kids trick-or-treating this year. It is sheer joy watching your kids going to neighbors' homes and walk back to the sidewalk with the largest grin because they asked for a $.03 piece of candy, and someone gave it to them. Just because it is not a paid holiday, does not mean that it is not a holiday. If you want to argue about the holiday issue, let's talk about Sweetest Day. Now that is completly a made up holiday by Hallmark and FTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I partake in presidnt's day and Martin Luther King Day( Martin Luther King was a great man and if there is one thing I hate its biggots!) I dont care much for Halloween why because One very evil tradition is the celebration of Halloween. To me Halloween is very Evil so please dont be mad if I dont share your love for a so-called holiday called Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIBeast Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I respect that Scooby. I agree that originally, Halloween was an evil type of holiday, but you have to admit that it is a shadow of its' former self. Halloween is not even really celebrated for the same reasons as it used to be. Kind of like Christmas; it's mostly a commercial racquet except for those who are religious.

Browntggrr Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Actually, it has been the corporation executives that have made Halloween evil. The traditional Halloween marked the day before All Saints Day, where the saints would disguise themselves as dead saints. Now this would be the Catholic twist to it, or at least what I could remember from school. Here is a link for another aspect of Halloween:Celtic version It has just taken a different turn for the sake of $$. Just like St. Valentines Day (give a overpriced gift of love to that someone special), St. Patrick's Day (let's get drunk on green beer), Easter (color eggs, get fat on chocolate), Sweetest Day (reasons already given), and unfortunately Christmas (buy gifts for everyone you know). Each holiday had one meaning at one time, and each holiday now means something completly different. It may not be right, but in some cases, it has made it fun, and expensive, for most. Halloween is evil if you want it to be. I kind of have the same feelings dealing with Christmas. Dec. 25th is supposed to be a celebration of the birth of Christ if you are a Roman Catholic, but for those who have chosen a different religion, it means Santa Claus, Jingle Bells etc. etc., which is not wrong, it is just how one wants to celebrate holidays different. ...maybe those years of Catholic School paid off!

CoastersRZ Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 From the rumors I have heard, 2006 may in deed bring a new Nick expansion, but it will also include a flat ride for the thrill seekers elsewhere in the park. Although anything aboout 2006 is purely speculation and rumor at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Bowser Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yup Yup YEsSssSs... Thrill Seekers will have something and the family crowd will get something as always I see nick getting bigger and a nice flat going into Coney Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I see Nick Central getting bigger aswell but I think the thrill seekers will be thrilled ... I think we will see The Addams Family sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

familyman Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 I think a new area to the park would be great to ease the congestion on busy days.
