hauntguy Posted September 11, 2005 Author Posted September 11, 2005 OK... 1) PKI is NOT getting cornStalkers... that corn your seeing is for the kids portion of Fearfest. They are having a little corn maze for them. 2)Steven, my post was just kinda a rant that I told you guys about the Sleepy Hollow stuff... so, I told you so! 3)I don't think any attraction or scarezone will follow the train track. If anything, the "hollow" might be the path from the entrance of White Water Canyon all the way through the exit. I am having one of those feelings. Take Care. -Hauntguy Quote
Delirium13 Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 I went to the FearFest Site again and read it more carefully I am now a little more excited than I was before and can't wait for October. Quote

Take Care. -Hauntguy Apparently, a few of the supervisors have said that Headless Hollow may be the actual train ride itself. The idea is that a group of guests board the train and take off. Later on down the road, the train "breaks down" in the middle of the forest. A guide then takes the group into the forest to try to find their way back, when, all of a sudden, the Headless Horseman attacks. I'm not sure exactly where the train will "break down", but my guess is that it'll drop guests around the fort area near the water park entrance. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Hmmm, let's see... Screaming till your mouth is dry... Getting scared out of your witts till your pants are wet... Darkness everywhere... ... ... ... ... I CANT WAIT!!! Quote
Jasper Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 They shuld make a haunted train ride i think that wuld be pretty cool. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 They shuld make a haunted train ride i think that wuld be pretty cool. Creative idea, I would sit in the middle of the seats cause I would be to freaked out to be sitting on the edges. Quote
hauntguy Posted September 11, 2005 Author Posted September 11, 2005 Actaully, when PKI bought the Circus of Horrors from Larry Kirchner (Halloween Productions Inc.) he asked if they would also like to have the train modified for Fearfest... it's one of the many services that Larry offers... and PKI said NO!!! But I doubt the train will be used for a major Fearfest attraction... but I could be wrong! I will take a GOOD look around when I am there later this month and give you all the "low-down". -Hauntguy Quote
PsycoPath Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Yeah, you're wrong. And I will leave it at that! Quote
hauntguy Posted September 11, 2005 Author Posted September 11, 2005 Again, I will look around the park when I am there... and report back here as too the aproximate locations of each attraction w/ pics and maybe a vid! -Hauntguy Quote
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 I thought I read somewhere that the train was going to be used. Or at least heard it from somewhere. But as far as I know, I could be getting my thoughts messed up with this site On that note, I can't wait until FearFest. Sounds like KI will top it self this year!!! Quote
themegurl Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 I'm addicted to the zombie hunt game on the FearFest site!! Has anyone else played it? My high score is 6600. Can't wait til FearFest! Quote
RailRider Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 I hope to god that the train is not used for a major FearFest attratction, but instead is only used for the Nick or Treat aspect of things. Think about how little interaction you would have with the frights if you were on the train and had to go by actors and props. Ohhhh real scary. Also if they are going to pretend that the train breaks down and then we have to walk out, can you imagine how long the lines will be to get on the train and then to go through the haunt. Ok the train has broken down, will everyone please wait in line to walk back to the station. Just doesnt make a lot of sense. Im counting on the que for WWC to be used. Perfect setting for a haunt.

Bryansworld8 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 If you guys check out the Media Page/ Section on the official Fear Fest site, it gives locations of the haunts. Headless Hollow will indeed take place on the Train. They also have some cool images from last year on there. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 http://www.pki.com/news/detail.cfm?item_id=231 Look here corn stalkers is listed and so is the train. Quote
pkiboy Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 http://www.pki.com/news/detail.cfm?item_id=231 Look here corn stalkers is listed and so is the train. I was tring to find the info on fearfest on the pki page Thanks Quote
RingMaster Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I was right all along; cornSTALKERS is coming! Now the only question is where cornSTALKERS will be located at in Rivertown. I'm guessing it'll probably be behind Tomb Raider; there seems to be a lot of extra space back there for a maze of that caliber. I hope that all of Headless Hollow won't be on the train; I was kind of expecting guests to be dropped off at the second station by BB's entrance and then walk back to the main park in the Western Woods. If it was like that, it would sound more like a fear zone, like Slaughter Street at PCW's FearFest. But, I could be wrong (usually, that's always the case)... Quote
RailRider Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I hope they dont run the train with all the cars, because if they do, that will be some major capacity issues trying to get that many peopel through a maze before the next train load shows up or breaks down. Kinda intresting, but also going to take a lot of work to pull off. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I would imagine the trains will have three cars on them. That is what they have used for the Pumpkin patch express in the past years. The train might "break down" either at the Boomerang Bay station or the station by the picnic grove. The first year for Pumpkin Patch express, you could exit the train at the picnic grove, and go to activities in the grove. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I hope they dont run the train with all the cars, because if they do, that will be some major capacity issues trying to get that many peopel through a maze before the next train load shows up or breaks down. Kinda intresting, but also going to take a lot of work to pull off. If they do it like they do Pumpkin Patch, they'd run two engines with 3 or 4 cars on each of them. Quote
RailRider Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 ^ ^ ^ That makes sense then. I hope they get the capacity worked out good and we dont have another Torture Tower on our hands. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 ^ ^ ^ That makes sense then. I hope they get the capacity worked out good and we dont have another Torture Tower on our hands. Torture Tower? More like Route 666. The line was 2 hours long an hour before it opened in '03. Quote
StXsteven Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Hauntguy...I have thought about this... you make this site, don't you? Or am I totally off? If you want to know why I think so, just ask, and either post your e-mail address, or e-mail me at StXsteven@hotmail.com Quote
RingMaster Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 ^ ^ ^ That makes sense then. I hope they get the capacity worked out good and we dont have another Torture Tower on our hands. Torture Tower? More like Route 666. The line was 2 hours long an hour before it opened in '03. ^ And then having a four-hour wait when the ride actually opened. Do you think it could've been possible for them to re-theme IJ:ST to a new version of Route 666, or is it too new to be re-themed for FearFest this early? Now I just have to figure out where cornSTALKERS will be located at. I can't wait to come face-to-face with demented pumpkin/scarecrow monster thingys. Quote
themegurl Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Does anyone have any new pics of the FearFest progress? Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 http://www.klockster.com/gallery/displayim...tup&cat=0&pos=9 BEST HAUNTED HOUSE EVER !!!!! http://www.klockster.com/gallery/displayim...up&cat=0&pos=22 http://www.klockster.com/gallery/displayim...up&cat=0&pos=21 http://www.klockster.com/gallery/thumbnail...um=lastup&cat=0 I found these I no that these are some ones from PKIC. http://www.klockster.com/gallery/displayim...?album=15&pos=8 MASTRO !!!!!!!!!

FOF/Z 4-ever Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Is it October yet!?!?!?!?! I can't wait any longer!!!!!! Quote
PKIbabe89 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I know!!! October is the best season for me Fear fest awaits man!! Quote
RingMaster Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Anyone remember last year's media preview night when all of Sleepy Hollow Horror's scareactors ran around Coney Maul 'cause their maze wasn't ready yet? It was hilarious seeing the Headless Horseman getting chased by his own victims! In a little less than two weeks, I'll be going to this year's media preview night as the start of my DVD project: ShriekShow! If you guys want, I can get some footage of fellow PKIC members in the middle of the madness Kings Island calls FearFest '05. I just have to figure out who all is going to come to the media preview. The set date is September 29th from 8pm to 10pm, I believe. Just respond to this or PM me so I can get a list of who will show up. Other than that, I am psyched for FearFest! This WILL be the best one yet!!! Quote
