I'll be going to Fright Fest pretty much all day Saturday . Any advice? What rides should I hit first, which ones are the most crowded. Blocked off areas. Etc. Thanks in advance!!!

Well "NEVER" go on a Saturday for fright fest! There will be HEAVY crowds and rides are usually ran "low" capasity. You are better off "not" going on a Saturday even if the park is only open like 4 hours. I beleive Fridays it is open from like 12:00 to 4:00 or something like that. The park is usually dead on weekdays when school is in. But, you do have a chance of some rides not open or rides only being open for a certain time.

 

but take my advise, DO NOT go on a Saturday!

So would going the Friday before from 5-11 be better? I could care less about Fright Fest, I'm just there for the rides!

I would also agree that you never go to SFGAM for fright fest on a Saturday, and what even worse this year is that the opening weekend of Fright Fest is also supposed to have some type of cheeerleading contests in SouthWest Terr.

I would go on a friday night!!!! While the park isnt open as long it usually isnt that busy and the rides even less as alot of people hit a few rides and then go to the haunted house/train ride etc.

The big thinh to do on Firday if you can is be at the park by 400p/430pm and be at the park early. Due to work i guess you have a late arving crowd so you can get alot done the first two hours with little to no waits if you plan it right and its great to end the day in the Southwest Terr. as they haver little halloween stuff going on so it is usually dead.

The have Supersitution back this year for the simulato ride, havea Haunted Shack 3d movie in the pictorium and some type of wall-thru fallen giant attraction which are all new this year.

Just remember that they aren't open Friday night on the first weekend of Fright Fest according to the schedule.

go from low capasity rides to high capasity rides like.......

1. Raging Cajun

2. De Ja Vu

3. V2

4. then I would hit the B&M's like Raging Bull then Batman, (and if you want) Iron Wolf.

5. then hit what ever you would like (it shoudnt really matter)
