thejoker8388 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I've never been to FearFest before but I really want to go to PKI one more time before the year is over. Now I've heard that the lines for the actual FearFest attractions are horrible, but that's not what I care about. Are the lines for the normal rides like rollercoasters, flats, etc bad? I'd most likely be attending on a Saturday. Is there one week in particular of FearFest that historically has seemed to have the smallest crowds? Also, are all the rides open? I'm assuming they are but I'm just checking. Finally, if FearFest is crowded for just the normal rides, would making a trip November 5th be worth it, or is it also crowded and are all the rides supposed to be open then? Thanks for the help.

CoastersRZ Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well, from years past, the closer it gets to Halloween, the more crowded the park seems to get. If you are going strictly for rides, the lines might be shorter on Sundays, when they are only doing Nick or Treat and not FaerFest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 They don't have any fearfest things open at all on Sundays? Thats a crock. Are you aloud to take pics while your on the fearfest rides and what not? I went every weekend last year for fearfest and the best day with a crowd of like 5000 was when it was like 40 and pouring down rain the entire time but I had a blast.

Jasper Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The Fearfest lines are horrible. everytime i have been up there it has been npacked. Ine time the route 666 line was 6 hours long! That is unbelievable. To ride all the rides you have to get there early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIbabe89 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Personally, I didn't mind the lines at Fear Fest. as long as I get a good scare, it's all good. The only line I was impatient with was Draculas castle... AND THAT WAS A DISSAPOINTMENT! As long as your with a friend, it kills time in line... least for me it does.

TOPGUN1993 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I remember for route 666 before the ride opened 2 hours early the line was already 3 hours!!!! Thats crazy (has anyone rode it ????) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, I think the line made Dracula's Castle. It was great seeing the old PT characters... the movie sucked... but the line was cool.

SML828 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Route 666 was pretty cool...luckily I didn't really have to wait...anyway, I thought it only topped out at a 3 hour wait....which is still long, but I didn't think it hit 6 hours... Oh yea, Fearfest is only Friday/Saturday nights this year, so no - nothing Fearfest is open on Sundays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIbabe89 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I wish They would open Fear Fest on Sundays. That was a good time to go, I hope Fridays are like Sundays from last year... that would be nice...especailly when you at least have something to look foward to after school. lol.

BoddaH1994 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Oh yea, Fearfest is only Friday/Saturday nights this year, so no - nothing Fearfest is open on Sundays... That's a half truth... the KIDDY side of Fearfest will be open on Sundays, but none of the actual haunted houses in the main park. Sundays will be 100% family oriented.

KIemployeeforlife Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 The day stuff if known as Nick or Treat and not Fear Fest. "Fear Fest" only refers to the night haunts and not the kid attractions during the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Remember everyone, Fearfest debuts OCT 1ST, not Sept 30th! So it starts on a Saturday, not a Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Which is the reason why the park is saying 9 nights of Fear Fest, and not ten. This year, unlike last year, they are calling Fear Fest seperate from the family friendly portion of Nick or Treat. Last year it was Fright by Night and Fun by day. The first three years of Fear Fest, when it was a seperate gate attraction, it was open on Fridays and Saturdays only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker8388 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Well as I said I know that FearFest attractions have horrible lines. But what about that day before FearFest starts? Are the lines bad or is it just around FearFest time that the lines start to get bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I dont think the lines have been as big as they were for Torture Tower the first year of FearFest. Other than that, if you can go a couple times you will make it through everything more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye-Beast Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Last year we rode plenty of rides before Fearfest began the lines weren't bad at all, but we always left before all of the FF attractions were open because our kids were to young for any of them.

That sounds familiar. My kids are too young for fear fest also. This year we are leaving them with their grandparents and going without them!
