Hey guys,
First post to these boards, coming from a halloween, haunted house, and roller coaster enthusiast... thanks alot for all the informations posted here so far.
I am coming down to SFMM on the 18th and 19th, leaving from san jose, ca about 8 or 9 am. I am staying at the hilton garden inn at the base of the mountain on sat. night, and I have a few questions...
First of all, I want to stay in the park till around midnight on saturday night, and my girlfriend wants to take a nap at the hotel in the mid-afternoon before heading up to the park if we are going to be there that late. We are certainly planning on going back on sunday, but I was wondering what kind of crowds i can expect at what times on this weekend? I do want to do the haunted houses... i wonder if the bracelet would work for both days?
Also, the last time I was there was 3 years ago, and not for fright fest. I didn't bother paying for parking since i was staying so close to the park, but It also wasn't after midnight when we were leaving the park.... does anyone know by chance if there is any kind of public bus or shuttle at all that we could get? I wish the hotel had one, but they didn't 3 years ago.
Another question... 3 years ago we did the 2 day visit, and got twickets. I called the SFMM box office and confirmed they do still offer these, at a price of $10. For some reason i thought i remembered them being $15 3 years ago, but it COULD be that 3 years ago i was expecting $5 and found they were $10 at that time. Can anyone enlighten me on the actual current cost of the twickets?
so to recap [CLIFF NOTES] ... crowd expectations for 18th after 1pm and 19th? Any chance theres some sort of shuttle or bus from the bottom of the mountain near I-5? Can anyone verify the cost of a twicket?
thanks in advance.
