I don't know if I had too high of expectations or what, but I went to Haunt a few weeks ago and was really let down. It seems to me that they were going for quantity over quality on the haunted attractions. There were so many of them, and the ones I saw werent really any good. Mysteria was dumb, just a few guys in tights staring at you while you walked through a giant cage filled with fog, holliday horror wasnt scary at all, urgent scare was so-so, the props were cheap looking, carnevil was OK. None of the "mazes" were "mazes". There was no way to get lost as your supposed to in a maze. You know, take a wrong turn and end up at a dead end. It was all just a quick run through with no thought as how to go through. and the midgets were boring! They talk about watching a midget bleed, but I did not see one drop of blood. I was expecting them to smear it all over each other or something. And they went about their show very slowly, each move was setup extremely slowly which made it seem even more setup than it really was, and they warned of curse words and what not, I diddnt hear them hardly speak at all, I was expecting loud profanity and flying blood. It was weak. The commercials and website hype everything up to be so scary and gory, but I diddnt see that at all. Also, I was very let down with the trick or treat with the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were pretty neat, but the trick or treat part was a big let down. Again, the commercials and site hyped up the trick or treat with the exact phrase "Your kids will collect a t-rex sized bag of candy". There were maybe a dozen or less trick or treat stations, and my daughter got probably 4 or 5 pices of candy. One station gave out a cardboard flyer for the movie terra nova. Another station gave a pin with terra nova on it. Another station gave a haunt souviner cup which was nice, one gave an apple which was OK i guess. And half way through it my daughter wanted to leave because she was tired of walking and a little scared (shes 4). Am I expecting too much, or does anyone else feel the same way?

You guys are missing the TRULY best kept secret of the park lately....what IS the limit of Fast Lane/Fright Lane passes the park will sell each day. (Avatar loves my posts!)

Who knows? No one who will talk about it. Consider that those who planned that prop may well know no more about Son of Beast's future than you do. Decisions of that nature are not made at the park level at Cedar Fair. That has been made quite clear in past conference calls. At Six Flags, Park Presidents are now given great autonomy in deciding issues such as how capital will be invested at their parks, and they are held accountable for the consequences of their decisions. At Cedar Fair, the mothership at Sandusky decides and the park managers are held responsible for executing corporate decisions. Two very different companies. Two very different ways of doing business. The FUN way is not the SIX way.

This will probably come off as insulting...but what has gone wrong with our world when someone is upset that they didn't get all the blood and profanity that they felt was coming to them?
