fearfest weather
Since im bringing kids,i will be at both on saturday since i got my pass.Im just hoping that things at the haunt will be open or just delayed if it rains.Im looking forward to urgentcare and most of all,the late night ride on The Beast. Why are you looking forward to go to a emergency room? I guess you meant urgentScare because i dont want to go to the e room at all. Yep i meant urgentscare.Im sure if they are reading this,they may not let me out alive lol. Although the last trip i made up there,i may have needed urgentcare.My lapbar was not locked all the way on The Beast and came up part way.I would hate to be stuck the wall in the helex while everyone else passes me by.

HALLOWEEN HAUNT 2008
I cant wait for this saturday.I'll take the kids up for the day,then after i take them home,i'll return for more fun. Question i have is will the park still run if we get this rain they say is coming or will they shut down certain things until it is clear? Never fails.It can forcast a perfect day right up until the day before.Somebody let me know so i can plan ahead. Thank you.

What do you think about AE?
It's a fun ride that anyone can ride.A great starter coaster to build up to The Beast and sob ect ect. It's not worth a 2 hour wait.But thank god it's a very short wait to ride.

The Beast's 30th
Here are some cool idea's for the birthday celebration. 1.A question answer day with those people who created The Beast. 2.a free tour day a behind the look at The Beast. 3.have The Beast run run just like it did on day one. 4.double ride friday the 13th in honor of it's first run. 5.late night saturday rides on The Beast.(Keep it running later on that night) 6.Free photo day on your birthday. 7.Free double ride,if your bithrday is the same as The Beast. 8.interview with that irs guy who rode The Beast a record number of times.(that would be neat)

I forgot to tell you i have a time machine.I was there next month. lol See what happens when i type when im tired? Thanks for catching that. Any how i had a great time.

It's in a name
All of us at one time called a ride by the wrong name(What where we thinking?)Tell us about other names of rides misused or wrongly called. Ive called Firehawk the sky hawk. Ive heard the top thrill draggster called-hotrod draggster.

trip report 9/4-9/5
Trip report 8/4-8/5 Had a great time both days but rain kind of messed up the start of tuesday but it cleared up. Monday had a good size crowd but not to bad as far as wait times go. Started with conga falls.Great way to get wet at the start of the day. Next was the SOB.Yes i chickened out,but i did try to get in the seat,but the belt would not fit.I need to lose a little more. Next was the scrambler.Great ride always love it. A/e was next.Great coaster and lines was almost empty. Flight of Fear was next(and YES i did it)Pretty good size line.Ride broke down just before we got there,but we hung in there and after a 30 min or so delay i was a board.I dont know why i would be affraid of this ride.I guess the fear of the unknown i guess.Any how i loved it.I heard from other riders that day,the ride shutdown quite a bit that day,as well as tuesday when i was going to ride it again. Next was the river ride.Got pretty wet.I really enjoy dropping quarters in and soaking others passing by. Next was The Beast.I fit that one ok.Great ride.My fav. Rested for a few then went for another ride on The Beast. Time to eat.felt yuck after that ride so i knew it was time to chow down. Got hand stamped(ouch).Seems to me,like the girl stamping hands,hated doing that job.Last time up she was in a bad mood it seemed."NOT YOUR LEFT HAND,YOUR RIGHT HAND PLEASE"Sorry,im not trained to know what hand to give you lady.Oh well every one has days like that i guess. Came back and went up on the tower.Great view and very good girls working the tower.She works the merry go round as well if im right.She talked with me,and made me feel like she was glad i came and hoped to see me back again.I will. Headed over to the scooby doo haunted castle.Great fun. Then i headed over to The Beast for my night time ride(my first one)17 min wait but well worth it. Very very very great ride at night.It made my day and night. I could have rode The Vortex but was fighting a mild head ached so i enjoyed the fire workks. tuesday-Rain delayed part of my day but we hung in there. Played a few games then rode the sdhc.The rain had stopped by the time we got out of the ride. Next was the The Beast.Heard it rides faster after the rain.yep it does. (Just a note.i can get one click on my lap bar but the ride operators get me that other click.Once they missed it but no big deal.)Rode the log ride next. DRT on the fairly odd coaster Love my gold pass. 8.99 Cokes all you can drink all day.grear.thank you. Next was Firehawk. My friend rode it since i forgot,no fanny packs allowed. I headed to fof but it was down so i headed back to The Beast. Nice way to end the day. Next trip in oct if i have the money.Dont gold pass members get a discount to fright fest and nic or treat? All in all not a bad day
