yes that little blue alien has been seen many many times scaring me!!! He is lightening fast and hard to catch so good luck getting him RINGMASTER he he......you little alien you... Hun you are doing a great job out there and I am having a blast trying to find you - it is like my kidney faced Scott is back. We had a running game last year. I tried to keep an eye on him and he went out of his way to get me anyway - he usually won!! That creeper got me no less than 30 times a night. He is now located in Southern California in the US Marines. He is suppose to be around town at Christmas but told me he really misses Halloween Haunt and wishes like crazy he could do it this year too!!! I make sure to go to Action Zone any time i have a chance so I can check up on my favorite little alien!!! I have a few hazzardous waste fellows that have fun making me jump too - geese I adore you guys!!!

Did you happen to know that one of the skaters barely missed the olympics??? The one that does the fantastic solo. Several of those ice skaters do this professionally year around. The female that does the beautiful patriotic dancing has been with Disney On Ice - which is at US BANK Arena this week. As for Cedar Fair - yes since they have purchased the park there are improvements all over the place. I had mixed feelings about their purchase but since a year has gone by I am extremely impressed with the improvements. As for Halloween Haunt - I think it is much better than last year - the only thing that has decreased is the creepers preformance - there are maybe four good creepers - the others seem afraid to slide after anyone. One of the better ones quit - unfortunately. Our wonderful Dane, ICPcreeper, the creeper in the hat and one that is dressed similar to Dane are freaking awesome this year. The rest seem afraid to move. The scareactors that wander are doing a great job. Yea I miss Chris this year but hey he moved up to management of the Cemetery and does a great job there. Mike Bundy can be seen at The Terror Within located by Turtle Creek Flea Market - I hear that is scary too. Our famous Don the Undertaker was not able to come back due to health reasons. I do believe that Jonathan does a fantastic job in his place "my friends want to meet you some of them want to eat you he he he he..." is great!

Yes I agree the acting and the singing was fantastic!!! I was very impressed with Josh Hobbs, Tim Williams and Matt Kopec from their summer shows - Twisting to the Sixties and Hot Island Rhythm - those are the same great people out there. Natalie Gibson is the lead female vocalist and she does an awesome job!! I do agree in the fact that they should have gathered a few more "halloween" type songs. The dancing was fantastic as well.

Heyyyy and deprive little Bryan of his fun????

The Blond girl is Natalie Gibson and I am sure she will get a kick out of that comment. Yes they all worked their hearts out. Josh Hobbs is the blond male, Tim Williams is the black preformer, and Matt Kopec is the dark haired male preformer. Those people are from the summer shows this year - Twisting to the Sixties and Hot Island Rhythms. I have videos on YOUTUBE of these shows. I am glad that you appreciated their efforts - I did like the show myself and was impressed with their singing. Yes I have gotten to know these kids too and they are really sweet people.

I do not know why this is but there is NO RE-ENTRY after 7pm.

yes you major brat!!! I was shutting my eyes when I took it. I knew he would want this pic of him acting all gross but hey Hauntguy is one of my great friends here and you tend to do weird things for your friends......but yea I nearly barfed. He was eating that crap in front of me!!!! YES Hauntguy did make Kevin jump - I watched it - Kevin was right in front of our group - I saw something move and saw him jumping - did not know it was hauntguy. We were far enough back that I could not tell what was ahead but yes Kevin definately jumped a good foot!! We went on this tunnel/bridge full of fog before we got to hauntguy's location. I hear this "Karreeennnn" in a deep voice thinking he was in there - I stopped and looked around - - nothing. Then as I am giving up he jumps out of nowhere and I nearly fell out of my freaking chair!!! I screamed and my arms and legs went flying!! I think Haunt nearly wet himself laughing at me. Give this another try because honestly it is freaking awesome!!! I screamed so much on that one that I literally lost my voice for several minutes!! Hauntguy was best then - Fairewitch was not there that night but she generally has a great time with her buddies too!! My son-in-law was on a fense behind something and jumped down and nearly landed on me!! You likely went through it when those younger kids were on their break and likely not on the green train!! The host on that train is awesome and funny. He lead a sing a long because of issues with the previous train. There will be issues from time to time. They do not take us to the other line until the others have pretty much gotten into the haunt - there is your wait - we only had to wait a few minutes in the second line - it moved pretty fast and this was saturday night.

Top gun is likely closed because they use the RIDE line for Club Blood.

Tombstone TerrorTORY: So you wait in a line to get on the KI Train. (15 minutes at the least) Then you wait for everyone to find a seat. (5 minutes) You ride back and listen to a stupid story about a guy killing people because the waitress asked to refill his Scotch. You exit the train and walk to wait in line. (10 minutes) So after about 20-30 minutes of waiting and walking, you start the trail. You pass about 4-5 people at the bar where the guy shot everyone. Then you get onto the WWC trail where there is a HEAVILY fogged tunnel full of nothing. This slows everyone down, so there is a constant line going through, no more groups. You pass some people laying on the ground....either really dead or sleeping. And you walk pass some crates and eventually pass through another tunnel full of hanging heads. Finally, you walk back into Rivertown with a big :?r <--- on your face. You just wasted about 45 minutes of your time at Halloween Haunt. Scary? NO! It's a constant line that walks slowly, passing dead bodies. Disgusting? Kinda, a shed full of heads at the end. LAME! 0/10 Ok on this one I would think you must have gone when they were on break because all of the times I went we had a blast in Tombstone TerrorTory Dead Awakening: This show is supposedly about a girl who wakes up in a nightmare...and starts to sing. I saw some of it, but had to leave due to time restrictions. The song "Hader to Breathe" by Maroon 5 was played, and it was a pretty good cover. About 25 minute show, at the Theater by the Eiffel Tower. This was a great show trust me - well acted. This guy was out infront on the mic. His voice was creepy-cool! Yes totally agree - Jonathan does an awesome job!!! You can also catch him in Death Row toward the end of the night. I think this guy had something to do with it...but that's just me. I loved this guy - he scared the crap out of me when that thing jumped out!! Yikes, now that thing is FREAKY! Just like the aliens in Alien, it jumps out and makes a screechy noise. Giggidy. Mr. Slider gets close with some terrified chick....while people take pics! Mr. Slider is a repeat from last year. You know him on this site as ICPcreeper. This is the outfit he loved from last year. He was in a burlap sack kind of face last year and was allowed to be "violent Jay" on the last few nights of fear fest. Thanks for reading!

Forgot about Dead Awakening - this is an excellent show - well worth your time BUT please please read the signs - this show is NOT for children under 13 years of age and it is well posted as well as the people at the gates informing folks that it is not good for children. Personally I have seen more suggestive clothing and actions on regular TV and find it irritating when people are offended yet let their children watch the shows on tv...If you watch this show for it's intended purpose you will LOVE IT!! Those young people put on an awesome show - yes I know some of them too. They worked their hearts out no matter the weather - as well as all of the other scareactors!! I have had to really give a piece of my mind about Halloween Haunt this year. First off - IT IS A Halloween Haunt - posted everywhere it is NOT for young children that are easily scared - I have 5 and 7 year old grandson's that do not scare easily at all - the 5 year old we have yet to find anything that will scare him. So those kids do well but please understand that although Kings Island is a "family park" during Halloween Haunt it is split. If you want Family fun then check out the wonderful and entertaining Nick or Treat in the morning/afternoon - after 5:30pm it becomes a place for ADULTS to enjoy - intense scares, and so on. If you check around any Halloween Haunt type of thing it is never for children or those easily scared - that is why people like me enjoy it so much!! Yes I enjoy it and have gone to every single night of Halloween Haunt so far and plan on attending the rest of the operational nights as well. I know a lot of the scare actors and have several in each location out looking for me because I am easy to scare and give them the screams they are looking to achieve!! I am real jumpy - BUT LOVE IT!!

Wow there are so many great places to go that it is very hard to just name one!! So far I have loved pretty much everything that I have done at this point. Have not checked out Trail of Terror, Death Row or Massacre Manor but will this weekend. The Torchure Chamber I would pass on unless you happen to like watching people put hooks in their eye lids, personally I was not impressed with this show. Tombstone Terrortory has Hauntguy and Fairewitch in it - they are both excellent!! Plus my son-in-law is in that one - those cowboys really have a great time in there and give it their all. The Cemetery - it seemed as if those creatures were coming out of every corner!! Lot of screams in there too. Workzone - very much improved from last year - things you think are fake suddenly move - more activity and a lot more active scare actors than last year!! CarnEvil is the same as last year - was not impressed with that at all. CornStalkers - you will find UncleHenry in there - he does a great job!! Lots of stalkers ready to scare you which is great. Not as much fog so you can actually see the path this year. Red Beards Revenge - well when I went Tassels was in that location and had most of that house scaring me!! It was really a great new haunt!! Same location as the Cowboy Carneage was last year. Action Zone has plenty of activity in there now - scareactors/roamers/creepers are all over. Also a lot of roamer activity going on in Coney Maul and RiverTown. Club Blood was a good one too but not as great as the others were. It is a definate check and see thought. Basically I would try my best to check out everything. We followed the Manager of Entertainment on the Tombstone TerrorTory and I noticed him jumping a bit in there. Hauntguy got him to jump a good foot lol.

Tassels that was you???? Omg you scared the crap out of me!!! Someone jumps up calling my name then another one does and I am like waittttt I don't know anyone in this house!!! I did not know they were putting you in there. Wow that was great!!! Yea we are trying to make the rounds of all the houses and so far have hit: Tombstone Terror tory - of course had to hit that first wtih hauntguy, fairewitch, and my son in law in there. Seems I found a few more than knew my name in there too!! I thought Fairewitch and her crew were NOT going to let me out and yes everytime that girl screamed my name I jumped. Cornstalkers - have to hit UncleHenry's spot and yes he was very good and yes he scared the crap out of me!! I almost fell out the other side of my chair - that was good UncleHenry lol. Was looking for a guy named CODY in that one too but could not recognize him under all that "stalking". WorkZone - Hauntguy told me this was great. Well last year it was sooo lame I really did not want to go through it but OMG did things change this year! Yea it was really beefed up. The guy sent us in one direction - to a dead end with a bunch of fake looking crap on the side. When we turned around that fake crap was moving and screaming at us. Yea this girl took off!!! I was not about to look back to see what was moving. No one knew me there - or at least I did not hear my name called lol. Hmm I guess not all scareactors know me YET. Club Blood - mixed feelings on that one. Some parts were great. People were jumping out at you and there was some guy up high king of swinging around. The motor cycle starting up suddenly had me nearly turning around - I thought that thing was moving!!. Was looking for Zack in there but he had been moved to another location when we visited. Red Beards Revenge - ok that is where I was going through and some guy started calling me. I nearly lost it. I did not know anyone in that house. Then a woman started calling my name. So yea I got real curious and could not stop saying "how do they know me??". Well turns out it was Tassels huh??? Well you did warn me and I did not now which house you would be in so yes girl you got me really GOOD!!! Folks I am very very jumpy by nature. I love getting scared and when they call my name - and I do not expect anyone to know it - yeaaaaa that gets me even more!! There are some great scareactors in Rivertown so we have kind of hung out a lot in that area!! Four of them love to follow me around or sneak out at me from corners!! Saturday night I had four of them on me at once!!! There is one slider there as well that tends to like to slide up to me. I remember him from last year - we call him "dreadlocks" because he is the only one out there with them. He was great last year too. Folks to those of you that recognize me and scare me - THANK YOU!!! I LOVE IT!!! Yes there is a few young men in Action Zone that are really good as well!!! One is a young man with a hat on. Wow he will be on you without notice!!! Sliding at my feet and laughs as I throw up the feet and scream!!! Two others that walk around - one with a lot of silver on him and one with a lot of greenish blue. The greenish blue guy is Matt - another person I call a friend. He is really good at it too. In Coney Maul there are a few that are pretty good as well. One is a slider - will not tell his name but he knows who he is and he is EXTREMELY good!!! Love watching him in action!! There is a wolfman and a zombie of sorts. The other two are very good as well!! I saw them teaming up on some poor woman in a wheelchair near rivertown at the top of coney maul. hmmm we do not know who she was!! One final comment is about DEAD AWAKENING - If you have not seen that show I strongly suggest you do!! It is absolutely the best show going at Kings Island this year!!! It is for mature audiences so please no children and if you do I sure do not want to see you leaving with this mean look on your faces. Geese some people brought kids and had the nerve to act surprised and prance out!! Those of you that did this - get a grip - there are people there that told EVERYONE as they walked in and there is a SIGN POSTED. Do you read??? Those kids on that stage did an excellent job and when you go in there and leave like that they see you and take that as an insult to their preformance. Now I know a lot of people in the houses do not like to see children and I do not blame them. I put out that challenge about daring people to scare my grandsons - well so far only one was able to. This little five year old was telling the cowboys in tombstone "Howdy partner!" They just laughed at him!! He went through those houses better than most adults!! I would say better than me but we know that is easy to do. To all you out there - keep up the great work!!! Haunt has started out great and it looks like things are still looking up for a great finish!

Has anyone else heard that the Undertaker is NOT coming back this year?? At the employee party he was and was all excited about it. Have a few people telling me they heard he is not coming back??? I called him but he was not home. hmmm Now to Halloween Haunt - yes I am extremely excited - last thing anyone told me is now there are 400 monsters out to get me?? Well I will be with my daughter and her children Friday night along with another daughter-in-law. Ok yes children are going to be with me - SCARE ME AND THE KIDS ANYWAY - anyone that walks into those gates - with the warning signs out there - ok if you don't want the kids scared KEEP THEM AT HOME - even my own grandchildren. I told my daughter they are going to be attacked being around me - she is taking them anyway - either they are going to have a great time ORRRR will not want to come back. Personally I would love to see anyone able to scare her boys - we have not found the person able to do it yet. They are likely going to laugh - do you hear a challenge??? YES YOU DO... I will be at Halloween Haunt for ALL DAYS OF IT. That is the plan and the goal...Are you kidding?? The last years fear fest mascot has a lot of work toward to be this years mascot!!! Have fun all - see you Friday night!!! Just look for the nut in a wheelchair with a HUGE smile on her face as she goes in the gates and this look of horror as she starts through the park or maybe just my screams will tip you off lol!!! To all my friends - I am soo looking forward to being able to see you all again!!! Going to be a lot of fun trying to figure out who is whom with all that make up. Unclehenry wow you will be hard to spot!!!

I agree on Son of Beast - it is often down more than it is up and tomb raider - every time I go that ride shuts down. Just think both rides are just a bit too dangerous - thrill rides are fine if they are safe and I honestly do not think either are that safe - I rode SOB once and got bruised badly. I have had friends on TOMBraider left upside down for long periods of time and that is very dangerous to the human body.

WWL for Maverick? Somebody had to love that water ride! LOL In all seriousness though...Eiffel Tower needs to go...that awful Eiffel Green eyesore dominates the skyline too much...looks like someone vometed at the top and let it trickle down (or tried to clean it with comet, take your pick) either way we can put a better ride there! Not to mention it blocks the guests on International Street's view of that great ride we refer to as IJ:ST! Cory- Who in all serious seriousness completely agrees with The Interpreter! That tower is sooo much of what Kings Island has always been - it has always been a part of their trademark - never remove the tower!!! COME ONNNNNNN that is one that should always be left there - just clean it up - give it a new paint job!! That is probably the most photographed thing at Kings Island!!

that is because hauntguy will not tell me where he is - he refuses to let me know until he has had his chance to send me to my grave - who will get to me first haunt?? You, Unclehenry, Undertaker, Creepers? HMMMMMMM sooo many I hear are out to add my tombstone to their collection in the Cemebery My favorite places - I hate just ONE choice because I love more than one!!! My two favorites are Tombstone TerrorTory and Cornstalkers where you are likely to find unclehenry wandering around..... I have friends all over the park this year so it is going to be exciting for everyone!! Trust me the ones that are there this year are very very good at what they do best - SCARE PEOPLE and they do it year around!!!

OOPS one more thing - Yes it is funny to scare the old woman in the wheelchair - go with the flow and have a blast!! If you see them scaring me go for the laughter and have fun - that is what this is all about - If I see them scaring you I am likely to laugh too!! Nothing person intended - just remember this is all FUN!! If you see me at the park - please come up to me and tell me who you are and how you know me!! I love meeting new people and putting faces to the names in here!! You all are awesome people with great ideas and comments!!

Awww nooooo he was not being mean at all. He knows how I am about fear fest/Halloween Haunt! Dane kind of clued him in on me and I think he has something to do with the fact that this kid went after me. If you know who he was in reality!! But I keep their secrets. As for MR. HAUNTGUY you got a major head start at that party and you know it!! But you missed it when the UNDERTAKER got me!! I was in the Coney Maul area with my daughter and was heading back to the party because I wanted to get a picture of Josh before leaving. Well as I was heading over I hear this familar.... Kaaaaaarrrrreeeennnnnnnnn MUAHAHAHAHAHA OMG I stopped dead in my tracks and looked around honestly expecting to see him walking up to me. I thought Don was going to bust a gut laughing. Most know that his makeup along really and honestly creeped me out last year. With that voice, well the effect worked well for him. If any of you see me rolling around in my chair - creeper / scareactor / or just visitor feel free to scare the crap out of me. I am likely to jump/scream then look around for who did it and laugh. I am just jumpy by nature. In all honesty I do try NOT to jump or scream and I think that is why my buddies like scaring me so much. It is a little game we play. I try to avoid them and they creep up on me and scare me. Yea my buddies usually always win lol but it is all in fun. The only time I get really angry is when I see visitors making fun of these great kids. You go to Halloween Haunt to be frightened and have a great time. It is sad the people that go there and think it funny and "big / bad / brave" to abuse these kids. Think about this - they are not allowed to touch you - this is all halloween fun and is intended for entertainment with a scare value so being big and bad against people that are not allowed to defend themselves to me is kind of whimpy and pathetic. Geese I hope my chair does not run out of control - as it does from time to time. It is 4 years old and those toggle switches are not always that reliable. Hey my Halloween Haunt folks, the kids from all the shows, and many many park employees know how much they all mean to me!!

Awwww now you can always count on good old Karen to end up at something like this - begged and bribbed my way into that party!!! You know me!! Not about to miss out on anything Halloween Haunt aka old fear fest. Yes I have pictures that I have posted on facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1497...mp;id=620573713 Check them out at your leasure as I have posted information and a surprise guessing game. Those of you who loved fear fest last year check them out and tell me if you can identify some of these scare actors from last year and where they were located. ONE is VERY POPULAR if you can search him out and Identify him - trust me it is NOT EASY. Yes it was an awesome time - The Prison was awesome as I am in a wheelchair and this year it was highly accessable to me I am happy to report!!! I only did it once because it took sooo long for me to get out of there that I was told they sent a guy in to direct me out!!! OMG the mirrors threw you off - I was leaning over and feeling on walls - usually you go through those ripped white things and that was the path you take - NOT THIS YEARRRRR.....some of them were right and some were not - well you make a wrong turn and the front of your group and guess what?? PILE UP - try getting out of that he he. I was seperated from my group and I think it took me about 10 minutes to get out lol I had to wait until groups went by me and there was some time there that I did not run into anyone but the scare actors who were more than happy to scare the ever loving beeeepppppp out of me!!! Once out there were several that are going to be scareactors for this year - some from last that are returning had a fantastic time practicing on me!! OHHH MYYY I would innocently drive along when suddenly someone comes barrelling out of a corner calling my name as they scared the crap out of me!!! His name was Josh but did not catch his last name and said he met me at the KICentral outing on August but in that makeup hmmmmm had to go over the various people I met that day!! I think I remember who he was lol. UncleHenry and Hauntguy had a blast seeing who could scare more life out of me as well. Hauntguy tends to love to call my phone with messages of coming to get me - wellll he has apparently given my number out because another person called me tonight on a number I do not recognize from CINCINNATI area code.......hmmmmmm who did you give it to Hauntguy??? All I know is that they are coming to get meeeeeeeeeeee..... From what I saw Friday Night the new Halloween Haunt is going to be fantastic and OUTDO last years fear fest - which I thought was awesome. I keep hearing from the scareactors that as scary as it was last year it is going to be really beefed up - to go all out to scare people and they will let them know when they go far enough but do not expect to see them telling them......hmmmm maybe you all should make sure your life insurance policies are paid up and where you families can find them hmmmmm..... There was also a think on the evening news where Kings Island is advising parents to leave small children or children easily frightened at home because this is not meant for children under 13 years of age. So to those scareactors the word is out. As far as I see, if a parent is stupid enough to bring in a small child to something like this - go and scare the pants off of them and if the parent says one thing to you - even a dirty look - smile at them and state - HEY YOU BROUGHT THEM HERE... Don't blame me if I am doing my job well!! Then run off to your next victim. This is your fun time - go and enjoy it - do not let these goofy people stop your fun.

Yes I forgot that the first few years they charged $20.00 per person for fear fest - guess what? I went one time. They made the mistake of giving me surveys - well I have no problems giving my input as my opinion is just as important as anyone elses - not more important - just as important. Paying customers make the local amusement parks. I tend to remember seeing a very low attendance for fear fest turn into a very very packed fear fest. Their lines went from being about 20 to 30 minute waits to several hour waits - let's see what is more profitable?? In 2001 I had gone to Kings Island during the day and they "closed" the park but we still wandered around. Watched things get turned on and when fear fest started - during the paid time. You had to have the wrist bands to enter the events so we just walked around and watched. It was fun just watching. That was when I could walk. So ok here is another suggestion - charge admission for the haunts and allow others to just wander the park with park admission. I am in a wheelchair and trust me the haunts are NOT wheel chair accessible, or were not the past few years. My wheelchair was damanged quite a bit trying to get around the corners. The leg pieces, omg, the protective tips broke off on both of them, one leg piece the entire foot was knocked off of it and it took me hours to get it back in and fixed, people kept falling over me and knocking things off of my chair. The walk ways are nearly impossible for me to get through without lighting of some sort and they would not even allow us a small flashlight or cellphone to help. Try driving your car around a tight corner without your headlights?? See the comparison? Wheelchair people should be allowes small lights as I really could not get a lot of fun in the tight areas on the houses so I stuck to the trails and had a blast - there were no issues going on headless hallow - had a few on psycho path because of the Mud lol and a few bad parts around the hanging bodies - man those things stunk he he. But other than that had a blast on the trails. As for the parents with small children - place a sign at park entrance - actually several that state: THIS IS A HARDCORE SCARE EVENT. ANY COMPLAINTS OF BEING TOO SCARY OR OUR SCARE ACTORS BEING SCREAMED AT FOR BEING TOO SCARY AND YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE PARK - NO REFUNDS. Or something to that effect. You tell a parent no refunds or the embarassment of being ejected from the event - ohhhh trust me they will stay away. And if there is an extra charge do you think this will eliminate this? The only way to stop this - and it is unfair to the kids that love scary events - would be to limit fear fest to a particular age level. I have two grandsons, ages 5 and 7, that fear fest or any kind of Halloween Haunt would have no bearing on them at all. The 5 year old fears nothing so do not limit their fun. Except the R rated event now that area should be off limits to anyone under age 17 honestly - depending on how graphic they decide to get. Now you have my full 2 cents worth he he he. What do you think of my ideas and what are yours?

I am sorry but I think that Kings Island charges enough as it is to add a sir charge to Halloween Haunt. We have to pay out the nose now for cold and terrible food. They gave us chinese last year which was good then took it away for another skyline and uncooked hot dogs. I ate at wings this year and it cost me over $31.00 for some half decent food - nothing special and wayyyy too much for what you could get. Kings Island makes more money off of the food that you have to consume there as you are not allowed to bring your own, and the gifts they sell in all of their shops than they ever made off of admission so my suggestion?? DO NOT CHARGE MORE but SELL GIFTS that are specifically Halloween Haunt similar to I SURVIVED Halloween Haunt - and make your money there. Most people would prefer to buy the gifts than have to pay not only the $50.00 to get in the park THEN pay an additional $10 (or more) to get into the park??? Come on I think that just a tad bit much and everyone knows that I am a big fear fest fan. Charging more would severely limit my visits to the park for that event and Yes I am one that does buy my Kings Island pass simply for the fear fest event. They could make a nice profit on those shirts/buttons/pin/pens/ etc than they ever would with the park admission. Who would not love to wear or own something they collected as a result of the haunt??? I know I would but do I want to pay that extra amount and nothing to show for it?? NOPE sorry as much as I love fear fest - give us something we can show for being there instead of that admission. Hmmm a T-shirt they pay $5.00 or less for and charge $25.00 hmmmm see the profit?? You want money - go in a different direction - this way we have a choice. That is just my input. I love you fear fest scare actors to death but come on give me a choice on where my money goes!!! Think of the possibilities of profit in the direction I suggest?? Even haunt specific area items?? And if they do charge THIS YEAR they could run into a lot of issues with it as yes when I bought my pass it DID SAY FREE 2007 FEAR FEST WITH PASS. Now let's not get picky and say "But this year it is Halloween Haunt" and try to get away with it - I can see some major issues for PR on this one.

Ok Ok now what have I started here??? Last year I did go into a haunted house and DID hear my name - I nearly fell out of my chair!!! Was thinking how in the world did that chain saw guy spread the word so fastttttt.

\ 1) Karen is already getting these strange phone calls and people sending her instant messages on Yahoo telling her they are coming back. I now have three people telling me they are coming from out of no where to "Haunt" me down and scream kkkkkaaaarrrreeeennnnn so now I have the blue monkey coming at me too huh??? Wow this year is going to be freaking exciting!!! Got me wishing August and September will just FLY BY - oh wait - let me get out my broom and see what I can do?? Maybe I have that spell book around here somewhere??? Ohhh forgot - yes I am too afraid of going into that maze - could be that they may keep me??? I did break out several years ago...oops should not have told that one.. 2) Faeriewenh - don't let her fool you - I am sure she does not have her homework done as I have yet to be shown her diploma from high school YET......hmmmmmm... going to be a lot of fun watching that one get chased!!! By that time she is likely to be in college and I am sure will have homework still to do!! he he he he. Awww she knows I adore her - faerie is one of my best friends...but still love to watch people chase her.....hmmmm check out where she is located this year monkey man!! 3) Yea I hear that Tassels is a badddddd elf and that is why the creepers were sent out to deal with her - it took everything they had to keep her in her haunt location - she kept trying to "sneak" out to scare the little children into not asking for presents for christmas so that she was not kept so busy......or was she the elf that got fired and was forced to find another holiday??? hmmm..... Ohhh yeaaaaaaaa do I love halloween???? Only thing that I like more than halloween is FEAR FEST and all of my awesome fear fest buddies!!! Ohhh when I found out that fear fest is going to be open halloween??? Who passes out candy these days he he he he.... You all want a good scare???? Get a phone call from the UNDERTAKER -even during off season that man scares the crap out of me!! He called my cell phone and I literally threw it!! To get this "Kkkkkkkkaaaarrreeeeennnnn" in that low and creepy voice of his?? Now I have this person in a very strange and creepy voice telling me he is coming to get meeeeeeeeee over and over. Just last night I had a breather......the goulies are coming to town already.......looks like Cedar Fair really attracts the strange and unusual like a magnet. See what happens when you give out your cell phone number to innocent looking people? I will say one thing...most of the creepers/scare actors are extremely good looking people - no idea what happens to them in that make up area....seems great looking, nice, nearly normal people walk into the park and into that area (I am not telling whereeeeeeeeeeeee) then suddenly these creepy things start coming out. Is it like that Pirates of the Carribean thing? During the day they look kind of normal but in the mood light they turn in to skeltons/creepy people?? The cursed comes out at night at Cedar Fair Kings Island during Fear Fest!!!! hmmmmmm..... As for BIG MIKE BUNDY - who happens to be called "tiny" by his friends he he.....If you like rock music he is in a band - Adipocere and they will be releasing their own CD very soon.....he is on MYSPACE under ADIPOCERE VOCALIST - look him up and add him - the band is also on myspace as ADIPOCERE. I am sure Mike would love to hear from you all! Don't expect immediate answers from him as I think he on ly checks his myspace once or twice a week.

wouldn't that be awesome to have a ride haunted??? I never got to see the phantom theater ride like that but used to love that ride!! It was one of my favorite things that they did to that building plus a great place to go to cool off lol. I keep hearing that there are going to be a lot of changes this year to fear fest and I am sure that there will be. If anyone noticed last year fear fest started out kind of like the past years. Then each week things changed and improved so that by the end of fear fest it was awesome! Better than I had seen it in the past few years. Just seems to me that Cedar Fair is really into halloween and from what I see in other parks, well I feel we are in for some interesting surprises this year!! Can hardly wait!!! Ohhh and hauntguy - some strange person called my cell phone the other day and left this weird and "haunting" message for me.....hmmmmmm fear fest starting already huh??

Cody is one of the first ones to get me in years past and I adore him - hope he comes back. As for Scotty do you all know that his BIG BROTHER Chris was also a creeper??? He was one of the best ones previously - he is living in Texas as a tatoo artist and does awesome work. He also does something with putting hooks in his body and hanging suspended by them - the pictures really bother me but it does not surprise me. Chris really got into his fear fest character and he was awesome. Scott is doing great and yea I am going to miss him a lot. We had a great thing going. I would try my best to keep him from scaring me and he went out of his way to scare me. Needless to say he won. You could watch him and not take your eyes off of this kid and somehow he managed to fade into the crowd or get another creeper to distract me then come up from behind. He is just really good at it. As for Jon I do not know if he is coming back. I have not heard but the last time I talked to him he was all excited about it so I am sure that he has or will come to some try out for it. I am bringing my son-in-law this Saturday to tryouts and trust me for those that do not make it he just might fill the voids lol. Also possibly my daughters very tall boyfriend. My excitement over fear fest kind of gets them interested in finding out why I do not want to miss a day of it. As for Mike yes he is reported to be making more money at this new haunt AND he will get the creative freedom he craves to get really scary. Mike is an extremely nice guy in person and a dear friend. BUTTTTT there is a more devious and sinister side to him that makes him excellent at halloween. Plus it is our favorite holiday lol. I have had people telling me the quiet Josh is going to be back this year. As for a scary scooby - well no scooby is not going to make an appearance at fear fest as far as I know but the guy in the costume will be back. He was one of the creepers that ran and slid after people last year. It was funny to watch him in action. He could get full groups of people running from him and he was excellent at taunting people. Personally another really great person. It is funny but the people that spend so much time having a blast scaring people and invading our nightmares are all very very nice people so anyone that goes to Kings Island for the fear fest season please do not taunt them - have fun being scared by them. Last year so many idiots threw food at them or one creeper was punched so hard in the stomach that he had to go home. What possesses these total MORONS to abuse the very people that are here to make your experience great??? Why come to fear fest to abuse people? Mike Bundy had a coney dog thrown at him!! I saw some boys calling other creepers names and making fun of them. Security needs to throw those idiots out of the park - trust me this year - if you see some old woman in a scooter or electric wheelchair chasing after people then rest assured they abused a creeper and/or scare actor!! Scott pulled me off of one that was merely teasing him - a person he knew. I started to yell at them for calling Scott names. Please folks - DO NOT ABUSE Kings Island EMPLOYEES - I have made so many friends at that place and if I see it you will have a fat woman in a wheelchair chasing you down!!!!
