My friends and I are planning on taking a trip up to CP for Labor Day weekend. I've always tried to avoid parks on Holidays... so my question is, can anyone tell me what the crowds have been like in previous years for Labor Day? Edit: I didn't mean to put this under this forum... it was supposed to go under the other Amusement Park section. Sorry!

When I was younger, I used to love walking through the front gate and all of a sudden International Street appeared. The sight of the fountains and the tower was just breathtaking. I also remember there used to be a certain "clean and fresh" scent from the water that I no longer smell when I go through the entrance. But as for sounds... the music that used to play on I-street and the sound of the lift chains clinking.

According to google maps, I am 99.5 miles away. I can usually get there in about and hour and 45 minutes.

I got 90%... missed the Rick Wallenda question. I didn't know whether it was his father or grandfather. I chose the wrong one... obviously.

I personally love the back seat. But, I prefer the back on most coasters. The only exception is Vortex. Don't know why. I did ride in the very front on FOF last year for the first time and I really enjoyed that too, but it dries out my contacts very quickly.

I completely missed you the other night. I was looking for you (and all the other KICers that said they would be there). And it is better when it's darker. It's harder to get the scares in with the sunlight peeking through over the walls. But that problem will solve itself as the sun sets earlier. I remember you saying on here that you were in Slaughterhouse and I looked for you, too... but I didn't see you. Maybe next time!

Then maybe you shouldn't do the same thing every year lol just sayin depends on which bat guy. the vampire one with the red leather jacket is but not the grey gargoyle one (at least i dont think so) It wasn't my choice to go in with that many people. I was only with a group of three. The person at the entrance is the one that put us all together. I'm certain that I would enjoy it more with a smaller group. It was the grey gargoyle one. I don't know that I saw the one with the red jacket.

^What entrance were you at?

I had a great time last night. It was one of my better trips to haunt. I made it through all of them and was still able to get 5 rides in. My ratings for the Haunts: 1. Trail of Terror - very good, a lot better than last year. 2. CornStalkers - this was my least favorite last year and the actors did a great job of scareing the crap out of me 3. CarnEvil - great visual effects, I never see the polka-dot guys coming (I hate clowns, so this may have increased the scare factor for me) 4. Tombstone Terror-Tory - the actors on this got my friends a lot... very funny for me to watch from the back 5. Club Blood - didn't get a lot of scares but the actors were quite amusing 6. Slaughterhouse - this was the first one that we went through and it wasn't dark at the time, it may be better when it's darker 7. Cemetery Drive - first time that I had been impressed with this haunt 8. Massacre Manor - not as good as previous years, but still good 9. Cut Throat Cove - decent scares, but I was more amused with my friend getting startled than anything 10. Urgent Scare - I was in the middle of an extremely large group (maybe 11) and didn't get to enjoy it at all. Last year the same thing happened to me and I was dissapointed again this year by that situation 11. Death Row - I was basically annoyed by the mirrors and strobes by the end of it, but the actors still did well I didn't get a chance to see the shows, and I am probably not going to be able to go again this year because of my own Haunt, but I was able to hear some of the music played and it sounded pretty good. Is anyone on this site The Bat looking guy with the platforms on?... he got me as I was leaving.

I will be there with a couple of the kids that worked for me this summer. I hope that my fellow KICers will give me a great scare!

I will be at the park on Sept. 25th and would like to renew my pass, but I want a platinum pass. I haven't heard anything about a deal on the Platinum passes. Has anyone (that could tell me)?

^ I think that's a good way to get people to buy the upgraded passes... to include Haunt with gold or platinum, but not regular.

There is a really good one in Greenwood, IN (just south of Indianapolis) called the Asylum House. It is an interactive haunt, meaning the actors can and will touch you and invade your personal space. The actors there are very good and really into the whole theme. I was completely scared to death when Micheal Myers backed me into a corner and stayed in my face.

^I totally agree. I love that ride... until I get to the elephant. If I wanted to get drenched, I would ride Congo Falls.

I am not working the Haunt... live too far away and have my own "haunt" that I put on at work, but I will be there opening night on the 25th. I look forward to being scared by my fellow KICers.
