i think alot of the reason was that the stage wasn't in good condition from the previous year. i miss final freakout. now there are lights set up all around the fountain, but i am told that it's not going to be a show. theyr'e not bringing back any john bundy shows, that's executioner and the witch trial, because he really screwed us last year. i should know, i was the witch in the witch trial. bad show...good money.

You gotta be kidden me!! Executioner is like a classic Gadv FF show I can't believe they're gettin rid of it, its like the only classic one. As far as the hay ride goes. The line starts near the movietown arena, but it is usually huge. You really don't want to ride it till at least 7:45 earliest and by that time the line is usually huge. The best thing to do is reserve a time. I do not know how they are gonna do it this year, some have mentioned LO-q however I highly doubt that since they would need to put wiring in there. But, Last year they had the hayride reservation place in that small hat place in between spinmeister and musik express. You went up reserved a time, by the way do that as soon as you enter the park the reservation line can get pretty big as well, and then when it was your time you went to the movietown arena then all the people with that time all lined up at the entrance to the arena furthest to the right. Then an employee came checked all your times and let you into the arena and you went to the left and went through the side inbetween B:tr and the arena and merged with the line, from there it was like a 5 -10 min. wait. But, if you don't get it resereved it could be like 3 1/2hrs. .

Why doesn't SFGAdv do mazes like just about all other sf parks do?

Yeah I enjoy mazes at theme parks, they make them so interesting. Why GADV won't do it? Well it's beyond me.

They did have a haunted house from '99 - '00. It was called Brutal Planet the first year it was in the garden of eaden I went to it and it absolutely SUCKED the people who were suppose to be scaring you were carrying on conversations with you, it was a total waste of money. I didn't attend the Brutal planet in '00, which was supposedly pretty good and was in the northern star arena.

yes, the execution is not returning and neither is the bad show by the main fountain. However, the park is switching back to a pre-premier parks style fright fest. from what i hear, there will be chain saw guys chasing people through the park, as well as very weird circus side show style people in the boardwalk section of the park. I heard they are spending a ton on new decorations for the park and hiring tons of walk around people. ;D, Since i currently work at the park, i have also heard that the current management of the shows area is really mad at the last four years, since the people at premier didn't care about the event more than putting in decorations and grave yards before the entrance. Once in the park they could give a S@@t what you saw. But this year i hear that the show people got to go on there own, and make it the way it was a bunch of years ago.--- can't wait

Wow! That sounds great! I hope you're right! I know SFWoA is really beefing up their FF this year, but this sounds even better! I gotta admit the old shows sucked, (except for The Excecution which I loved, but admit was not scary) and Time Warner's FF was much better. I can't wait! ;D

There stingy with ours cause they know the longer your there the higher the chances of you getting hurt. And no they are not looking out for you, they know if you get hurt on the job they have to pay you, and obviously they don't want to do that, so they make sure there workers come in and leave at their proper times. If this is true I am EXTREMELY happy, I mean chain saw people running through the park thas awesome ;D. Actually, I like hypnosteria as well as executioner, though I agree executioner was not scary, and I am VERY glad that Hypnosteria is coming back even though its a new name: the hypnotist or something like that. Aby word on how the hayrides gonna go this year, is it gonna be like previous years cause that would be very sad. The best BY FAR was when it was the amazon theme, OMG it was sooooo awesome.

The reason I say this is because I noticed that SFWoA is seriously fixing up their FrightFest, and they have CP as their main competition, who seriously fixed up their HalloWeekends. We have Dorney (yes I know Hershey too) who, like their father park, is fixing up their HalloWeekends. It's too bad we won't have mazes though. Just check out this page, and notice especially the 50's Street of Freaks: www.sixflags.com/parks/worldsofadventure/ShowsAndEvents/index.html.

Hayride will go back to the original "Hayride to the Unknown" theme. As far as I know, Brutal Planet is out, which leaves us with no haunted houses or mazes. Quite sad actually. I think those are the scariest types of attractions. From what I know, it seems the hayride will actually be the only "ride" attraction at FF. I think we need more than that. Other SF parks have at least 2 haunted houses plus some other "ride" attractions, not just the shows.
