Six Flags has promised bigger and better things this year for Fright Fest. What is something you think could be added, and what should not be taken away?

Well for starters, SF could fix up the decorations throughout the park. The signs/portals through the haunted sections are lacking. I hope they hire more ghosts earlier this year. There's always the same individuls in different costumes. I also wish they expanded where the monsters went and bring back Bone Butcher's Territory. Last years misshap with the entire section 'unspookified' kind of dissapointed me. This year I want different shows and a replacement of that Hypnosteria show. Its so outdated. Hopefully, we'll get details of the new scare later this year!

I've heard that they are getting more shows and terror trails, and possibly getting rid of the ghoul whistles. Some new decorations would be nice too!

Oh sounds great! I can't wait for the new trails. Maybe they will bring back that first Terror Trail near Bizarro? Who knows? Working there again this year, Ill learn of the new FF tactics faster!

Bring back the Hayride to the Unknown, Bad Bob, and make all the Teror Trails free. Then FF will be closer to Dorney's the Haunt's level.

  • I'd like to see the Ghoulmaster out - he jumped the shark with that thing at showcase.
  • I'd also like to see the Big Wheel open through the end of the season thanks to a relocated stage (it's just a set of stacked risers, it can go anywhere).
  • I'm really sick of Dead Man's Party, but I know that's not the feeling of most people. It's just... "tired."
  • The company has quite a few pre-packaged FF shows available - I'd like to see the park use some, especially in Showcase: bring back Disco Inferno, for example... but not that dead celebrity show.
  • Give us a real FF show instead of just re-branding "Live & Local" as "Dawn of the Dead & Local." Seriously. That's just lazy.

Personally I think Dead Man's Party is the only thing that is preventing GADV's FF from being a complete joke. But I do agree that it should be moved to someplace else in the park, such as the Showcase Theater or the old stunt show arena. Also the decorations for FF are really lacking, they need to fix them up.

Ghoulmaster's Ghosts is here to stay this year. Every since he moved to the theater, he has gotten more popular. Pete Carter has gotten more money to do the shows now. When FF comes around, two things I look forward to the most is Ghoulmaster's Ghosts and Dead Man's Party.

I remember the Hayride, I would love to see that come back.

I used to like Ghoulmaster until he got to the point of thinking that he is so great that you cant even take any pictures or video of his show. Does anyone know why that is? You are aloud to do this at the other Fight Fest shows.

Because he wants to sell his own DVDs of the show. I think he may be trying to build a brand that can exported to other Fright Fest events.

Pete Carter, who is Ghoulmaster is his own company, so he gets a say in things. I went to his DVD viewing party, he is the sweetest person you will ever meet!

Personally, I enjoy having the stage in front of the Ferris Wheel. I feel like if it was moved anywhere else (besides right behind/in front of The Fountain), it would take away from the transitional feel of the show. After all, it is the transformation of the family theme park into the haunted scare park. With SkyScreamer in the park, we won't need the Ferris Wheel to be open. We'll already have a "view" ride.

Let me know how you make out taking pictures from the Sky Screamer.

i know for a fact that last year 2011, was the last year of DMP in front of the big wheel, its being relocated for 2012, but the actual location has not yet been decided. those are the words directly from the park pres. apparently the FF budget has been increased quite a bit for 2012, and we can expect bigger things this year!

They had planned to have DMP moved from the front of Big Wheel last year but that fell through (and we got that from the Park President as well), so we'll see what happens this year...
