I found it very cool, and even snapped some pictures of Medusa, but many of the people around us were much less happy. Today’s ride seemed a bit rougher than usual, but still tolerable.Īt the end of our cycle on Sky Screamer, the ride came to a stop at the top and we were left to dangle for about 20 mins.
Kong is running only one train, but was still only a station wait. Interestingly enough, many of the 4D theatre seats have also been removed and put outside, perhaps hinting at future expansion, although the park has said that it is key storage space. More wood is also being stored behind Boomerang near the old 4D theater, which could be for Fright Fest, or…you know …Cough RMC Cough. Large stacks of wood are also being stored in the Slaughter House maze area, as well as the construction of some sets. Stacks of steel beams are being stored in the closed path behind Toyota stadium, also home to a scare zone. In the midway leading to the Roar Plaza, there are some props set up for that area’s graveyard themed scare zone. On the flip side, Tazmanian Devil has finally reopened, and was sporting its usual ten minute wait.įright Fest preparation has started, some of it painfully blatant. There is however a nice new semi shaded seating bench in that area, so that’s good news. Voodoo also remains closed, with very little signs of maintenance surrounding the ride. This of course meant significant lines for the remaining water rides. With temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it was a shame that White Water Safari was closed. With new bus systems, getting stuck at the top of Sky Screamer, Fright Fest prep, and the closure of Roar, I’m sure we will have plenty to talk about.Īs mentioned, the new fleets of modern, comfortable, air conditioned buses has finally been put into use, and are much preferable to the old overheated trams that used to transport guests from the parking lot.
#SIX FLAGS DISCOVERY KINGDOM FRIGHT FEST FULL#
Scare Zone on main path from Full Throttle to Goliath (Carnivhell not inside BBW).Included is Innocence and the Willoughby's from the Samurai Summit Scare Zone.Vault 666 (gutted and all new Willoughby's Haunted Mansion).It's just not possible to fill out your mazes and scare zones. Six Flags Magic Mountain is simply too big a park to have scare zones and monsters in every corner. In addition, as we've been saying for years, Fright Fest should have a similar footprint to what they had for Scream Break.
4-5 hours is probably enough including the 7:00 - 8:00 hour for the 3 mazes near Full Throttle.ĭoing this gives you a smaller crowd, likely gives you more people buying a Fright Fest Ticket/Fright Fest pass than you have now, and makes the event that much more enjoyable. Fright Fest is 8:00pm - Midnight (8:00pm - 1:00am on Saturday).Offer Spirits with Spirits for an up-charge.Keep those with a Fright Fest wristband in the Full Throttle maze area while they cycle the park to clear out day guests."Close" the park at 7:00pm each night for day guests.Make wristbands available to a finite number of Season Passholders/Members each night.Offer the same three categories outlined above.You need to have those three groups, and limit the event to a smaller number while doing a "soft closure" of the park. Guests with a Season Pass/Membership who got one of the wristbands, which are limited and available on a first-come, first serve basis (rumor is only about 1,000 of these are available each night)īasically, if you want to go with your Pass/Membership you need to get there early, but we don't think were all gone the night we went.Īnd this is what they need to do with Fright Fest.Guests who paid $160 for a Scream Break Pass (good for all 14 nights).Guests who paid $40 for a ticket for the event (definitely worth $40).There were essentially three categories of guests at the event. With Scream Break, they kind of did what I think is a test for the future of Fright Fest. But I know the talent, blackouts and security have a tough go of it some nights. I'll be honest, I've never encountered any major problems at the event other than annoying people who seem hell-bent on ruining everybody else's time with the shenanigans. Anybody who's visited Fright Fest knows that at least on a Saturday night the event can get overwhelmingly busy with families and teenagers with no supervision.
