Coaster Palooza Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 We went to SFMW Fright Fest last night. It was also a NorCal ACE Coaster event for the month of October with the ACErs being aloud to be Coaster Zombies for the night on Friday and Saturday nights. Gyendolynne and I were the only ones participating last night, which really made it great. Al Garcia of SFMW and Steve Wilson with ACE came up with the idea. Al escorted us around the park all night. It was like having our own personal VIP tour of the park. Spooking out the guests was just a major plus! We leave you with a parting shot of us entering Tava's Jungleland. I made some new friends on Medusa. They're creepy and they're spooky... I think Gyendolynne made a new friend. Here I am on Roar. Time for Gyendolynne to do some spooking on V2. I am at the very top. I think this kid was a little scared sitting between us on Cobra. I think the wheel came off of Boomerang and hit me in the head! The finished product. I have a splitting headache. Now for some goo. They ran a tire over my head! Still a work in progress. OOOOO.... It's gonna take a lot to cover up this melon Time for some spraying. Man, it's all over the place! It's spreading to my chin I got some goo on my eyebrow. Here's my before picture Here's Al with the Cockroaches that are to be eaten by the guests. Just a couple more sprays Finishing up on Gyendolynne Time for most of them to leave. Oh boy! No, don't worry, this all washes off. Here goes Gyendolynne under the knife....I mean the spray! The person in the apron is one of our face painters. Here are some of the zombies for the mazes. In the back, they had a Freddy and a Jason with a chainsaw that freaked some people out. The dead parade was very interesting. We will be heading down that way shortly for our make-up. This is the start of the parade for Fright Fest.
Rollerholden Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Oh cool thanks for getting some pics back in the makeup room. I did it on the 13th and wished we got some more pics back there. Glad you had fun.
Bush985 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Looks like you guys had a great time! Glad to hear it man. I think im going back next Friday. I cant get enough! -RD
Coaster Palooza Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 ^^I thought it would be great to have more pics of us getting all made up because it wouldn't look scary having the camera with us to scare people. Â ^Ryan, I would love to do this again too, but I don't know when we can. It was a blast and Al is awesome!
PhishyBrewer Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I don't get it Rick... you look completely normal to me.
SharkTums Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Very cool! Â I've always said it would be fun to work at a Halloween event for ONE night!
PKI Jizzman Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Haha! Thats awesome! PKI was doing that too, but I think it was expensive.....nice PTR! Â -James
Coaster Palooza Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 ^^^Wally, It takes a lot to cover up my skull!!! Â ^^I agree on "working" a Halloween event for one day. It really didn't feel like work as it was much more of a VIP tour. Al took us around and "protected" us against any crazy park guests. Â ^There wasn't an expense for this at all. It was an ACE event. I received an email from Steven Wilson. Al and Steven came up with this event for us. I have to give many thanks to them for that. Â We can also bring a guest that isn't an ACE member. It is limited to 6 people per night on Friday and Saturday nights. Gyendolynne and I were the only people doing this on Saturday though. It made it much more of a VIP feel to it.
Bush985 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Rick, Go on Friday with me. Wally my offer is still up. I think I want to do one more night before the end of the month. Rick they did a great job with you. I spent more time scaring folks though than touring hte park to ride the rides. I actually was getting better scares than some of the Scare Zone Zombies, which was pretty funny. Â Here is too those awesome Metal Finger Gloves! Â Just in case you missed it... a Link to my Photo TR from Friday. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30076 Â Â -RD
Hercules Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Very cool and unique trip report. That looked like a lot of fun. I would love to do something like that, but you would never be able to get that crap on my face.
Coaster Palooza Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 ^^Ryan, I did miss it. Sorry about that. I didn't have access to the computer on Saturday and it was very limited on Sunday. The house construction has turned up a notch and there isn't anything in our family/dining room now. The computer is in the garage. I still need to do a TR from Donica's wedding and SoCal trip. Â I will let you know about Friday. Â ^I thought there would be a problem with the make-up too, but it comes off fairly easily. If you get a chance to do this at any park, take the opportunity. It is really fun! Â I can't believe no one has commented on the size of the cockroaches. I know it is a little hard to see in the photo, but those things are terrible! I wouldn't eat one.
jamesdillaman Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Haha! Thats awesome! PKI was doing that too, but I think it was expensive.....nice Photo TR!  -James  No, we did it, it was an ACE event at PKI, also: Beast Buzz.  -James Dillaman
Homer Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 For a second, I thought this TR was going to be Ryan pounding it from beyond the dead. Â Weird, huh? Â Great TR though!

Ah, maybe someday.. Haha. Oh well.  -RD
PhishyBrewer Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Rick, Go on Friday with me. Wally my offer is still up. Â -RD Â I'm sending you an e-mail right now Ryan. Or maybe I'll just call you.
Coaster Palooza Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 I'm in Ryan. I will call you. Hopefully you're in too Wally.
PhishyBrewer Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 ^Sweet! I think I just might take off Saturday(Friday night) from work that way we can hit up the Red Robin in Fairfield so we can start some crap with that guy selling the fake Play Stations again.
Bush985 Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 I'm trying to get a hold of Al to make sure there is room for us all. I'll get back to you guys hopefully later today. -RD
PhishyBrewer Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 ^Freak'n Al and his crazy Zonga ice skating rink!
