What would you do to improve Fright Fest?

Dorney has done some truly spectacular things with all of their haunts this season, all of which are included with admission, their only upcharge is if you want front-of-the-line access - and bonus rooms that they didn't have last season, however, there is one haunt that requires the upcharge Fright Lane (Fast Lane for the haunts) in order to go through it, but I digress, watch for a review of Dorney's haunts on an upcoming episode of The Grove from Tina and me...

Now back to Fright Fest discussion...

Is this in reference to SFNE?

I haven't seen many people buying admission at the front gate this year. There's actually an online deal for $61.99, you get admission to the park and a Scare Pass. That's just $2 more than the ticket at the gate.

That said, Dorney is a lot cheaper online. $35.99 includes admission and Haunt. Plus, their haunt is much better. At the gate, it's ~$52.99, which is still less expensive than SFNE. The major difference, and correct me if I'm wrong, is Cedar Fair season passes can't be used for Haunt season.

I think corporate is making all the parks use the Scare Pass this year. I agree, it's nice to be able to just do single haunts.

I think that might only apply to Knott's Berry Farm when they transform it into Knott's Scary Farm, our Platinum passes got us into Dorney for the Coaster Madness event and same thing last season when Coaster Crew hosted the event, so there was a discounted event fee for pass holders.

Alright that settles that then. I've mostly seen it associated with Knott's, so I figured it was like that for all Cedar Fair parks.

If you were able to plan and theme a haunt at SFNE, what would you do?
