Fright Fest 2018

Coffin Challenge underway

Does anyone have any helpful tips/tricks for getting the most out of experiencing the event, specifically the houses and scare zones?

Anything interesting in the Q&A?

I enjoyed the event and the tours were cool and interesting. The actors and managers in charge seemed really dedicated and they did a great job. It was also cool to see the old Skyway station, seems like there is enough room up there to re-purpose it into something else. The only remains of the ride were a sign, some footers, and the storage track hanging from the ceiling.

The park does a great job with the experiences inside of the park, but the up-charge attractions did not seem too impressive IMO. The "new" Terror Tales had a decent idea but it is basically Wicked Woods with some new scenes that did not impress me in the slightest. The only thing that impressed me was the wolf animatronic which was very cool. Honestly, the things they added seemed really cheap. There are probably home-made haunts out there that are more impressive than anything they have. The Haunted Graveyard is light years ahead of SFNE's haunts.

The 2-hour flash pass was awesome to have, but ride breakdowns pretty much ruined it. One hour in and I was only able to get on Harley Quinn because Superman was having issues. They told people to get back in the gates, then 10 minutes later they opened the gates and a minute later they told everyone to go back. Once they announced an extended downtime, we headed to Cyclone. Well guess what? Cyclone was down too along with Sky Screamer (I think due to weather though). We waited while Cyclone tested twice and watched the maintenance guy leave so we figured it was about to re-open. Well after 10 minutes of waiting with no sign of re-opening we headed back to Superman. We did get a good ride on Pandy on the way which was great and it had a massive line. Superman was back up and ended up getting 3 rides. I am sure other people had similar issues.

I just think it is crazy that we are getting a ride nearly identical to a ride in the same area, when there are so many breakdowns that happen all the time. I would rather them get nothing next year and scrap the two boomerangs if it meant they could put some money into making sure their top rides don't break down multiple times in one day.

We were planning on it but the rain and wind looks insane so it all depends on the weather...

Planing on it as well trying tonwait out to see how tomorrow goes since its the only day can get up there this weekend

Saturday ain't happening - so it will be Sunday if at all. I would like to get one more ride on STR for the season.

Looks like last weekend of Frightfest is rained out again.
