murphz Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I went to PKI this past Saturday, the 11th. I got their around 6:00, and right away found the parking lot full and into the grass. My friend and I resorted to Vortex, since its wait is always fairly short. After riding that, we rode The Beast, which was to the end of the line (but no stalls were opened). Once getting off that, it was starting to get dark. We head over to Route 666, planning to get in line before it opens. However, we are soon covered in a giant mob of people following the line. It ended a short distance after the "2 hour" mark. We obviously said "forget that" We head over to Psycho Path, and find hundreds of people standing shoulder to shoulder, which turns out to be the line. We knew how far back the path led, and the line was in stalls at the front of Flight of Fear. Once again, we skipped. We headed over to Action Zone to possibly ride SoB or F/O. Delirium was far out of the line, and Face/Off was too. Passing Circus of Horrors, it was also very long. Thus we headed to The Beast for hopefully a night ride. It was far out of the line, and having just rode it, we decided "nah." After passing several friends we saw from school, we called for a ride and left the park around 9. Later that night we went to nearby Nightmare Estates, which was decent. Also, we went to another haunted house which i forget. Although these are pay attractions, they are better than most of PKI's attractions, and obviously have far shorter waits. Fearfest is merely good for hanging out, not for haunted houses. I recommend coming only if you want to talk with friends. In conclusion, FearFest was very disappointing this year to me, although PKI did its best to handle the situation. Last year, i went on a rainy day and found little waits and few people. This year, there was little walking space. I would rather pay $50, thats right, FIFTY, to have less crowds. -Murphz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 For all of you Mason-ites out there, there's a cool haunted house on WaterPark Dr. near The Beach called "Nightmare Estates." It's not the greatest in the world, but if you're looking for something to do, I'd recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now you dont have to pay extra and what happens??????????? You complain there are too many ppl. SUCK IT UP!!!! PKI is never going to be able to satisfy all you complainers!!!

bradb055 Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I was also there Saturday the 11th... It was a bit crowded! I only rode 3 rides in about 2.5 hours. I gave up on waiting for the haunted house lines. Psycho Path was out near the games. Too much for me. O well, at least it was free!!! I'll Try again next weekend and the weekend after that. Also, for those of you looking for the review on the haunted house on Harrison ave, I hopfully will attend that soon (yes, Im a West sider). The only news I have now is that in years past it was just alright. The good news is, that it is cheep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malibu Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 We went on Sunday the 12th and didn't have bad waits at all. We went through the haunted house, the maze and the crypt. Each had about a 30 minute wait and were well worth it. Route 666 didn't open until 8:00 and the line was horrible so we didn't even try it. It would be nice if if could open sooner, but I guess that they have to wait until dark before the effects are any good. The botton line is that if you want to go to fearfest, go late Sunday afternoon instead of Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Malibu, that is the best statement I have heard all day. Saturdays are bound to be busy. Its a saturday. Go on sunday. Im tellin ya, some people cant be pleased. Pay twenty bucks for short lines, people complain. Have it free, and people complain about the waits. Can we all just agree that FearFest is going to happen at least? Personally, I liked it when it was pay because less people I had to see in a given night. Except for the last night it was open on Halloween. That was ridiculous (line was cut at 1 AM and I left at 3:30) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
