The Interpreter Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 They really need to do something with Terror-tory. The lines for that are atrocious. They did. They sell Fright Lane passes. 4 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted June 2, 2013 Author Posted June 2, 2013 They really need to do something with Terror-tory. The lines for that are atrocious. Why do they only run one train during haunt with three cars instead of six? Why not use both trains with all their coaches? Quote

The lines for that are atrocious.Why do they only run one train during haunt with three cars instead of six? Why not use both trains with all their coaches?Are you serious? The platform for haunt is only used to accommodate 3 coaches not six. Also the reason why they use 1 locomotive is because of safety. Even at night during the summer you only see one locomotive operating. The reason being is because it is unsafe for two massive locomotives to be running in the darkness, even with headlamps. Plus, what if one of the signals were broken? Too much of a risk for a collision. So the answer to your question is insurance and common sense. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Insurance? Are you sure about that? Who is Cedar Fair's carrier? (At last report, Cedar Fair was self-insured). And how do Busch, Six Flags, Disney, Amtrak, CSX, NS, etc, run more than one train at night? 3 Quote

The other parks you have listed have way longer than ours assuring more distance between each locomotive like at Busch gardens and all those other parks. 1 Quote

Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure they use both green and blue... 1 Quote

faeriewench Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Most of the time I seen them operate both trains. The issue with Tombstone is getting people through the actual attraction, a very long and dark walk and people stopping at every measly crate. Quote
Creed Bratton Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Is there a haunt that you'd love to see revamped? What is it? What to?I'd love to see Tombstone Terror-tory, revamped to something more camp ish. 1 Quote
faeriewench Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Personally...I'd rather Tombstone (the trail itself) done completely away with and the cowboys let loose on Rivertown. 1 Quote
kicsehlhorst Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I've been to Dent Schoolhouse and I think ki needs a school themed haunt! 3 Quote
BB1 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Well, Madam Fat.'s is coming back from the looks of it. 1 Quote
beastfan11 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 They really need to do something with Terror-tory. The lines for that are atrocious. It'd move a lot quicker if the train quit breaking down and we had to walk back to the station. 11 Quote

TheCrypt Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I understand that, but how does a storage building signify the return of a Haunt attraction? 1 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I think BB1's point may have been that the Madame Fatale's "Shipping & Receiving" sign is still on it. According to Don at the KIC event, Massacre Manor is the haunt that won't return this year. I didn't notice anything in his words indicating that multiple haunts may be leaving. So I'd say MFCoT will return this year. 3 Quote
TheCrypt Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 ^Darn it. Massacre Manor was one of my favorites. That's one more original Haunt gone. 3 Quote
BB1 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 So let's see, we're probably going to get a doll haunt or something I don't know. BB1, who feels sorry about our loss. Quote
RadioRiders Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 If its true it will be sad to see massacre manor go. i think its sad to see any haunt go, unless its really bad..... I personally kinda like the trick or treat house at knotts. seems like a neat concept. Im always nervous about what will stay and what will go. Ive worked freak street the last two years (first year was nightmare alley) so i always look on the list to see if its there, not that I think its bad but its a fear zone with nothing permanant, easily changed into something else. btw have I ever mentioned that i love the haunt....well i do ! 1 Quote
faeriewench Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 ^ Having seen Trick or Treat in person, it is a really cool maze, but its so dang short. (but then again it has the most gigantic rooms you'd encounter at a Haunt being why its seems so short) Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Someone care to explain the Trick-or-Treat Maze? Quote
RadioRiders Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 From videos I've seen it's this : you go to a house to trick or treat, once inside there are all the Halloween basic s, ghosts witches, pumpkins, when you think of Halloween it's there. It's your basic haunted house slash Halloween Haunt. Quote
BB1 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I'm just putting this out there right now. I would like to have the Trick or Treat maze at Kings Island this year now that MM has gone, it will rest, but in pieces. Quote
Mrs. No Chickens Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 My thoughts about Haunt 2013....It'll b great, no matter what comes or goes. Always is for us! There's not a time, we walk thru the front gates, without saying, "I LOVE THIS PLACE!" 3 Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Sad to hear about Massacre Manor. I always liked that one. 3 Quote
Diamondbacker27 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Sorry, But I don't even like Haloween or the Haunt at all Cedar Fair parks... 1 Quote
Diamondbacker27 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Well, Madam Fat.'s is coming back from the looks of it.There is nothing significant in that photo.Why is there a random Footer beside DB's Support? 3 Quote
