Up_Up_and_Away Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 The problem with "bucky" skeletons is you need them to have them out of reach of guest hands. Haunter lingo... nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Thanks, I read up about that stuff on the many DIY haunt sites. All I can afford are the Blucky skeletons, Anyone remember how back in the 90s, GADV used to have a whole mess of these guys all over thepark?

Chiller Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Why not just move DMP to the old Eruption site? So much open space, and still outdoors and near the old location so folks wouldn't miss it. A walk-through in the simulator site would be brilliant, but doubtful. I think the indoor walk-through stigma is still there. Do you mean Evolution? If so, I was thinking about the same thing. Unless they move it into the NS Arena or the Stunt arena, the Evolution site would make sence because of the large amount of space. They also need to consider a spot that the Parade can end up at that isn't too far away from Movietown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafreak Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 this just in from the park, new upcharge trail coming this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yep, Mortuary Manor Maze will be one of the new things this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike13 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 So I'm guessing since it's Mortuary MANOR,this maze will be inside somewhere,or is that far fetched since it's Fright Fest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Are we keeping our two old trails, too? I'll be there tonight to check things out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiller Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Are we keeping our two old trails, too? I'll be there tonight to check things out... I think the other two will be staying, (Asylum & Forest), but we have not heard anything official yet. The new maze looks cool, too bad they are still making the mazes an upcharge.

gafreak Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 hearing rumors of a FF preview for season pass holders, is there any validity to this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Since Family Fall Fun Night is the day before Frightfest begins maybe they will have a preview the same night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yes, the signs in the Outer Mall got stickers put on them announcing the FF Preview on Fall Family Fun Night. It's a way to help sell the 2012 season passes (which should be coming any day now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Awsome! This is already a better year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 gotta say this years FF was a smash, last year was nowhere near as busy, say the Ghoulmasters Ghosts show and gotta admit its pretty well produced, DMP as ussual is amazing, hypnosteria is hands down the dumbest show, still havent caught the zambora deal or the freak show, hoping to this last weekend. all in all i have to say its been a great year at the park and looks like next years only going to be better! Next year DMP will be relox=cated to an unknown location and the Big wheel will remain open all season, the flume has been open most of fright fest( atleast on saturday it was open), and with the new ride additions i can onlyu see FF getting bigger and better next season!

The Master Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I still miss there being no Elvira, Hayride Into the Unknown, and Bad Bob the Bone Butcher this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up_Up_and_Away Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 My opinion will likely be pretty unpopular here... I'm tired of DMP - it's well done, but it's time to retire it. Correction: it's PAST time to retire it. GA seriously needs to start thinking outside the box... switch things up. I went last weekend and was back in my car by 6:34. Seriously. I've had friends and family ask me what their advice is regarding FF. I tell them if they're looking for rides (that aren't a ferris wheel), go to GA. If the Halloween experience is what they want, go to Dorney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I went last weekend and was back in my car by 6:34. Seriously. Most of the best stuff (trails, hayride, etc) doesn't even open until 6:45! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) I hope they keep DMP since it is the only good thing about FF left. It should be moved to a proper stage and upgraded some. Ghoulmaster's show is bad, the terror trails aren't worth the upcharge, the park barely decorates for Halloween anymore, GADV's FF is pretty much a joke compared to other parks Halloween events. Also it looks like the weather for the final weekend is going to suck this year. Friday is only going to be 53, Saturday is going to be a pretty cold 50 with showers, and Sunday will be a little better with Sun but still a cold 54. Of course after the parks close it will warm up to 60 but at least it will be warmer for the Trick or Treaters.

I'd rather see it go away and perhaps come back on an anniversary year, making it special again. The company has a bunch of pre-packaged show tracks to choose from, but the park's entertainment department has always taken the "well, this is the way we've always done it" approach... Busch Gardens switches things up every 2 - 3 years: scare zones, shows, haunted houses... it REALLY keeps you on your toes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GADV has done some changes to FF in recent years and they all stink. If they did replace DMP it would probably be with something super lame and then FF would be a total joke. I know alot of people like change but I don't because change is almost always for the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanrobinchiller Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 First of all, I thought that this year's FF was very last minute and not planned out the way most guests would like it. When I was working I overheard some guests saying,"this year's FF really sucks." If SF brought more attention to being prepared (actually including Bone Butcher's T.)and a greater emphasis on the new Terror Trail, then the guests would have had a greater FF experience like in past years. On the DMP issue, I think the show should stay. I personally think the show makes the FF experience that much greater. The upgrade of the stage will make the show so much better! If they change the show the FF experience would change dramatically (personally I don't like change). FF this year was satisfactory. Hopefully, next year is better.
