Fire2box Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Unless they bring back slaughterhouse pig farms at the action theater I don't really have a interest in paying even more money for attraction passes. I get inflation and all that but the boathouse one has always been meh when I've done it, the shark experience one is alright but really because it's damn near pitch black at times. The scares in them just don't do it for me. But the scares at pig farms was always the best and generally seemed to have the most dedicated actors. Also found this in the FAQ of the parks fright fest page. I'm getting mixed messages about garlic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromithere Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Can anyone give me info on how much they charge for the haunts? Prices apparently aren't available on the website yet. Trying to gather info for a group of friends who all want to go, and of course they assumed I would know. :-/ Trying to remember what they charged last year to at least have an idea!

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 In the past they were about $25 (I believe with season pass) and I highly doubt the prices have decreased at all. Expect $30 if you don't have a season pass, I think $25 was with the "discount." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymouscactus Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) ] Not sure if there is a discount for passholders. That being said, they are charging way too much IMO. Note: I've never even been to the park before to actually confirm. Edited September 21, 2017 by anonymouscactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 My last Fright Fest was 2015, and those screenshots indicate prices start at $30. I think there was a SP discount in the past but it seems there might not be anymore, or the $30 is the SP discount. Dang, they really have increased the price and decreased the mazes. You'd think they'd offer a better experience for what they're charging. It says "VIP" is $40 or $45 depending on when you go. VIP is basically Fright Lane. We've "splurged" for it before because the lines can get pretty long sometimes. It usually thins out later in the night, but by then you have to kinda book it around, and the employees are usually not as on point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Anyone going to the park on Saturday or Sunday? Any tips or crowd predictions for those days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterdoug Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Anyone going to the park on Saturday or Sunday? Any tips or crowd predictions for those days? I'm considering going on Sunday. The weather is supposed to be sunny and warm, which means it won't exactly be a quiet day (though probably manageable, as there are no special events or BAFF scheduled). As for tips, head straight for The Joker. They assign seats, so get there early and high-tail it to the ride right at rope drop if you have seat preferences (like I do). Hang out at our lovely RMC until the line builds up, then head to Superman/Wonder Woman. Afterwards, roam the park and see what lines look reasonable. That's about all the advice I can give you. I usually wait until the weather gets cold and cloudy to go, so that I don't need any sort of strategy at all. Oh yeah, Sunday will likely be lighter in the crowd department than Saturday. Have fun!

FolsomFan Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I went on Wonder Woman for the first time on Saturday and really enjoyed it. I actually thought it would spin more but really liked the height. It was a very quick trip into the park for us as we were just getting our seasons passes and going on Wonder Woman. It was Key Club Day there were a lot of very spirited and well behaved teenagers. We got there when the park opened so we basically walked onto Wonder Woman while most other people went to Joker.

Fire2box Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I also went on Saturday (key club day), apprently the park was already well opened before the 12pm time due to key club being there. Anyways the only things of note other then abnormally long lines was. 1. the arctic wolf Tala died earlier that week from pancreatic cancer. The Gray wolf was in the pen still. 2. Macho Nacho is closed https://imgur.com/NTGpD41 the resturant still had 20oz soda bottles stocked in a fridge behind the counter. No idea why it's closed or if it'll be permanent. The sandwich place also on the dinning pass was closed though with no sign on it. 3. that weekend and this weekend is dining pass picnics lunch out where they normally have catering. i went to it and there was virtually no one there when I went to eat which was maybe 1pm or around there. Around 35 other dining pass users. the food was just mainly burger's and chicken strips with fries they had some sort of side salad IIRC. The batch of chicken and fries I got was room temperature cold so I got it exchanged for a more fresh batch but even it wasn't nearly as hot as you can get from the chicken place across the bumper cars and original wave swings. However I'm pretty sure you can eat as much as you want there, there were only 2 workers and all they did was keep stocking food into the buffet. Out in the picnic area and the drink fountains it was just guests, never saw a worker watching over the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'm thinking of heading to the park (for the first time) sometime between Christmas and New Years, maybe the 28th or 29th. Would one full day at the park be enough to hit everything, or will lines be insane due to the holidays? I know Magic Mountain gets absolutely slammed during this week and was wondering if SFDK gets just as crowded or not. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would one full day at the park be enough to hit everything, or will lines be insane due to the holidays? I know Magic Mountain gets absolutely slammed during this week and was wondering if SFDK gets just as crowded or not. Thanks in advance! The week between Christmas and New Year is a busy time. I usually don't go then. However, I went on the day of Christmas eve last year (12/24), and it was positively deserted. So, if you don't have to be anywhere on the 24th, give it some consideration. Still, even if it's crowded, it doesn't get SFMM/CP length lines. Waits for their most popular rides (like The Joker) likely won't grow beyond 45-60 minutes. You should still be able to do everything during a full day. Again, I don't go during that time (that's because I'm spoiled, I prefer my walk-on days), so someone else who does have experience going during the time frame that you mentioned might want to weigh in.

jray21 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Yeah, that time between Christmas and New Years gets pretty busy. All those people stuck at family functions go insane and go to the parks to get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedZooChimp Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 SFDK and Skyline Attractions showed off the lead car for Harley Quinn this morning. Not bad, hopefully the OTS restraints aren't too unpleasant (they don't look awful). Related, if any of you are interested I wrote a piece on the history of Skyline and they're development of the Skywarp for Coaster101 last week (hoping it's OK to share this since it is relevant). I'm cautiously optimistic that this'll be a pretty fun ride (way better than a Larson loop): https://www.coaster101.com/2017/11/08/how-skyline-attractions-developed-skywarp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I love how they call it a launch too. I think it's more likely now that Michigan's Adventure will get a new coaster now. And Dorney. It's weird having this officially count as a coaster, but coaster or non-coaster, they look like fun rides. This is the second best entry I saw on RCDB today. Number one goes to Wallis's Wonderful Wriggling Wirral Wacky Worm because that name combined with the "fact" that the coaster was "said to be looking like brand new on 2/29/2004."

chickenbowl Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Welp, that's good enough for me. I was waiting to judge "coaster-ness" it until I could ride, or at least see videos of it "coasting." I trust the designers when they say it coasts though. And there's still much more questionable credits out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I was waiting to judge "coaster-ness" it until I could ride Same. I always wait to ride things before judging their coasterness. That's why I could El Diablo Loop Coaster as 11 credits. It's has 11 times more coasterness than a standard coaster. Pipe Scream ranges from 6 to 7 times more coasterness than a standard coaster so I round up to 7, divide and carry the four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I hadn't thought to watch the POV until now. I imagined the ride operating like the Larson loops with a conveyor belt type platform running the length of the track. After watching the POV, this looks more like a coaster. The tires are only in the station area and are like any tire driven launch. Then there doesn't appear to be anything on the rest of the track. Though if the two trains are independent of each other, what happens if one side were to rollback and the other didn't? I'm sure it was thought of, but I can't see how if the tires are only in the station area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
