PsycoPath Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Anybody here looking forward to Fear Fest this year? The park is going back to the way it was 3 years ago with Friday and Saturday nights. No more Sunday nights closing at 9pm. I have the low down on all the latest Fear Fest info if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastergirl Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I can't wait for Fear Fest! Halloween is probably my favorite time of the year. I love the ghost stories and fall colors and everything about October! I say bring it on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye-Beast Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'm looking forward to it also, it's less crowded and cooler. The views from The Beast kick butt when all the trees are changing. It's just a nice way to wind down the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauntguy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Fearfest is going to be awesome this year... I too have the "low-down", but am unwilling to share (as if I haven't enough!). See you all in October. -Hauntguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsycoPath Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 I can't wait, I hear they have a few new things planned that will kick butt. Hopefully they won't skimp on things to prepare for Winterfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsycoPath Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 I heard some mention of a Haunted Train ride. That could be cool. I really liked Route 666, except for the line from hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Route 666 was tiques and sadly, that is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I hope they bring back the original theme of, The Eiffel Tower gets struck by lightning, the whole park goes black and out come the ghouls from the depths to roam and prey on the innocent victoms of the park.

coastergirl Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 That would be so cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Does anyone know how to put an image into a post because i have a picture of the original pamphlet from the first year of fearfest on my comp and i want to post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I loved the first year of FearFest. Thats where my wife and I went on our first date. I know, how romantic. I hope they have more characters roaming around this year, like the Slidders and the Night Stalkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsycoPath Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 They will have the creepers (Sliders) and a scarezone in which characters run free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauntguy Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 One could only imagine what kinda of "creepers" or "sliders" the Sleepy Hollow Scarezone will have! I can't wait! -Hauntguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I heard that Sleepy Hollow may be taking over the train. So I'm guessing Rivertown is the Headless Horseman's new home. Also, I've also seen construction on the new maze in the white tent by IJ. It looks like some sort of a house design, and it looks beautiful. Does anyone have an idea as to what this new maze is supposed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkootersFan Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Thats Sleepy Hollow horror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Yes Sleepy Hollow Horror (the one they are constructing by IJST and International Showplace) debuted last season. It is was essentially replaced Route 666. The idea of the train being a haunted attraction for the nightly portion of FearFest would be good especially since it has a fairly high capacity. However, last season they used it during the daily portion of FearFest as the Pumpkin Patch Express. So they may ot be using it for the nightly portion of FearFest. (They also only ran three cars on the train, but had both trains running at the same time.) It would be cool to have the train take you back to a haunt maze back by Boomerang Bay or in the woods, or picnic grove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 It'd be neat to see Boomerang Bay used as a themed area in Fearfest (or even Winterfest) It'd be neat to see all the slides and such closed down, but there still be activity around.

PsycoPath Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 The Train ride will be titled "Headless Hollow" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themegurl Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I am soooo ready for Fear Fest this year. I didn't go last year, but saw some of the set-up and theming in Coney Maul. What was the best haunted attraction last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsycoPath Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 The Psycho Path is always nice, if you don't have to wait 3 hours to walk through. Sleepy Hollow was really neat, but not really scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I enjoyed House of Darkness last year because of the craw tunnels and the pith dark corridor section where you could see nothing. Not to mention the actor that helped you through that section was very good. It is a very classic haunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I enjoyed House of Darkness last year because of the craw tunnels and the pith dark corridor section where you could see nothing. Not to mention the actor that helped you through that section was very good. It is a very classic haunt. House of Darkness didn't have a crawl through section. Curse of The Crypt was the one with the crawl through section, and total darkness throughout the entire attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomerJay Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Paramount owns the rights to "Friday the 13th" and I know that last year they did a movie thing on it. But wouldn't it be cool, especially in one of the wooded areas, to set up camp Crystal Lake and do a haunted "Friday the 13th" attraction, complete with a Jason that attacks you? Also, you could discover "bodies" and they'd have special effects to capture the gore. Could be really cool and freaky. Or, instead of a structured line, just have people be able to wander through the attraction and discover the bodies. . . and have people dressed like Jason wandering through and attacking them at will! You'd never know when someone was going to sneak up on you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauntguy Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 There is a production company already working on haunts (for purchase by theme parks) that are themed after and feature characters: Freddy Krugar(spelling?), Jason Vorhees, and Leatherface!! Maybe PKI could get ahold of one of these "to-be" awesome attractions? -Hauntguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsycoPath Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 I've always thought the Psycho Path should be geared more towards a Friday the 13th theme. People just wandering through the woods is just asking for trouble. You should see all the problems that arise trying to keep people on the lighted trail at the Psycho Path. Props go missing, people wandering off to use a tree, people hiding in the woods to scare the group behind them. Give people free reign to wander the woods and you are just asking for trouble.

TOPGUN1993 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Does anyone no where the haunted houses will be located?? I mean what buildings or outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 ^ ^ ^ I would say same places as always with possible use of the Paramount Theater again. Possible chance that WWC que or channel could be used like at CP. This is my best guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
