I went on the first Friday of fest this season as well as a few other Fridays in the past, but I've never been on a Friday this late into the fall season. Do the Friday night crowds grow a bunch as you get closer to Halloween or will Friday night football still keep crowds down? The lines for Haunts were a little long, but nothing unreasonable, lines for coasters were really quick when we were there a few Fridays ago. I am guessing with the nice weather, it will probably be slammed. Try to get there at opening if you can. We can typically knock out the 5 indoor haunts in the first hour or so with little to no wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 We plan to get there at open. Don't know if we will focus on many haunts or not. Its the same group of people as went last time, and seems like most preferred coasters to Haunts, however my youngest son (8) is going along as well so that might change the equation. Honestly not sure if he is prepared for all the scare actors or not but he has been begging and begging to go.... so we will see. Thanks for the response, hoping for a relatively quick lines. I guess if it is slammed then we don't have to stick around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Current wait time, to the light and a few cars back onto the main thoroughfare. EDIT - I can’t believe the amount of people getting out of their cars, years past I never saw anyone just popping out and walking around this is definitely a first.

medford Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 FWIW, Park was def busier friday night than it was the opening friday night of haunt, however it wasn't horrible. I was in that line waiting to get in, but my friend I was meeting up with was running late so we didn't really start trying to get on anything until 6:30 or so. Diamondback was a pretty short wait, maybe 20 min. We went on Mystic Timbers, all the kids rode while the dads sat it out, the line looked fairly short, but it took the kids a bit longer to get thru than anticipated. We grabbed dinner and by this point it was dark outside. Beast line was out the entrance (not sure how many switchbacks were open or if they were using the secondary switch backs, haven't seen that since I was a kid many, many years ago. We decided to try slaughterhouse. I was surprised that the wait was only like 15 min. Its the only haunt we did this time around, I was expecting a much longer wait. Kids rode shake rattle and roll then we tried to get on Orion, i was told it was a 75 min wait, and the kids decided they didn't feel like waiting that long. FOF was a 90 min wait I was told, so we headed over to The Racers. A few switch backs were open and the line was backed up to the entrance, but it moved quickly, maybe 15 min to get on, 20 tops. Seemed like the blue side was running very smoothly. My son and my friends daughter then got on Drop Tower, while I took my daughter and my friends other daughter on Banshee (my daughter's first time riding it), maybe a 30 min wait. 2 trains were running and it moved pretty smoothly. From there it was about 10:00 or 10:30 and we decided to call it a night. WindSeeker was down, not sure why. Pretty good evening; likely my last trip of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
