Bummer. I'm heading out there next month for the first time and was really looking forward to it. Oh well, it gives me a reason to come back.

It actually was my first Fright Fest I've been to plenty of other Halloween events but this one definitely takes the cake.

I was there on Sunday. The attendant on El Toro wasn't happy about it but she begrudgingly let us choose the magic next-to-last row. For the most part though, they're assigning rows and aren't giving much leeway. The crowd was horrible. I've never seen so many disorderly people in my life. I thought a Sunday wouldn't be too bad since most people would leave early for work or school the next day but that didn't seem to be the case. An entire group of people literally shoved their way up the El Toro line and employees said nothing. Teenagers were running around the park with no regard for

Well, the OP of the post cares because he's the one that asked the question. Don't know why you're being needlessly hostile for someone sharing their opinion.

I think virtually all parks will be open as places like California and Virginia loosen their guidelines but I envision them having restrictions very similar to this year. Limited capacity/reservations, a mask mandate, certain attractions closed, etc. Hopefully we will see the return of haunt events because personally those are my favorite times to visit by far but I won't be too optimistic.

Wow I can't believe you left so quickly. usually the back corner by Storm Chaser is dead. You should of been easily been able to social distance your self there. I was there a few Sundays ago and got six zen rides first thing in the morning before anyone else even made it back to that part of the park. Personally, poor customer service would never stop me from getting a ride on a great RMC especially if I've already paid to get in.

Iron Gwazi, other upcoming SeaWorld parks roller coasters delayed to 2021 Yep, i'll take the L on that one. I thought since BGT is a year round park and it was already testing before the virus it was sure to open soon. What do i know

Anyone able to see the prices for members? I logged in but it's still showing me the regular price.

While I won't be riding any rides with a mask on (or visiting any park requiring them) I certainly wouldn't worry about moving a mask around during the ride. If it moves, so be it. Further evidence of the futility of a mask on the ride. The mask is already detracting from the ride, sure not going to mess it up even more fighting to keep a mask on just right. You should probably reserve your judgement on riding with a mask until you’ve actually experienced it. Personally, I forget that I’m even wearing the mask. The experience feels no different that normal.

Before the year is up??? It will be soft opened within the next few weeks.

Thanks! I looked on their website at first and couldn't find it. I'm tentatively planning to head up there in a couple weeks...hopefully Steel Curtain will be running by then

Anyone been recently and have an update on ride closures?

I wish they would post the August hours already. I want to make my reservations!

That's interesting to hear about how KI is handling things! - However, like you said... "Other than a few bad parents and teenagers..." - Which that right there is the problem. It just takes ONE bad parent, or teenager to create a MASSIVE issue for hundreds of people... and I feel like most of the country just doesn't grasp that yet. I think if you're expecting every single person in the country to follow rules before things open up then we'll be waiting forever. There's always going to be a few people that refuse to go with the grain no matter what the issue is. I think if we can even

Has LR been closed a lot? I was planning on driving from VA (six and 1/2 hours) next week for my first visit but i'll postpone if LR is being that unreliable. That's one of the main draws for me. It's also concerning about the shows and some other rides being closed.
