They finally reposted the first video with the female influencer. It's unclear if they removed the glitches, the bad graphics, and the T-posing from her video, but I remember her stream being a little over an hour, and this video is about 41 minutes. So, they obviously edited it down.

They're letting another Japanese YouTuber live stream the game demo right now. It might be privated again when it is over like it was last week, but if you can catch it right now, you can see what the game currently looks like.

A live stream of Ninjala 2 is happening right now from TGS.

They just posted this on their official Facebook page, and they have removed all mention of Fright Fest from the website when you go to buy a season pass. It seems like what I was hearing from my former coworkers was true. The park has cancelled Fright Fest this year, and replaced it with more family friendly events.

Edit: Update, they are blaming the power outage from a few months ago on why they are cancelling Fright Fest. I don't know how a one time power outage made them decide to cancel an entire month and a half long event, that brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars to the park. It also doesn't explain why they are still doing other Holiday events.

Still no auditions, still no houses being built, and it is already the middle of August. Fright Fest always started at SFDK the second to last weekend of September. It's not looking good. The only auditions that I can find online, are performers for the Trick or Treat Trail, Oktoberfest, and Winterfest. No Fright Fest auditions to be seen. Apparently, Cedar Fair (the New Six Flags) wants SFDK to be a park for small children and families going forward, and does not see Fright Fest as fitting this vision. Even though Fright Fest was their largest money maker every year, and helped pay for the care and the upkeep of all of the animal sections of the park. The irony of all of this, is that if the family friendly events this October fail, and attendance is low, and people don't purchase enough food, and merch, and season passes during that time, Cedar Fair is totally willing to bring Fright Fest back next year. They claim that it wasn't gang violence that cancelled the event this year, or even guest safety concerns. They just decided that it cost too much money to put the event on, compared to how much money that they would be getting back from their investment. So, if we want to see Fright Fest back next year, as weird as it sounds, we all have to hope that the Trick or Treat Trail, and Oktoberfest see low attendance this year. Because, Six Flags is all about money, and if this year's event doesn't bring in the kind of money that they want, they will fully go back to Fright Fest next year. Also, with the closing of CGA after next year, they will have more money to put towards SFDK, and even the Water Park in Concord. This is all the information that I could gather from the current employees that I know in entertainment, who asked me to keep their names anonymous. I stopped working in entertainment at the park at the end of the 2013 season, but I still keep in touch with people that work there, so I do have a little bit of insider knowledge, though not a ton.

Just had this cool new video pop up on my YouTube recommended list. I'm so excited that it seems like Tampa is getting back a more traditional version of Fiends with the adult humor intact. The Williamsburg version was not bad, but just weirdly sanitized, and obviously a sequel to their version of the show (and it will probably be the same show again this year at their park, if rumors are true). So, it's nice to finally have the Tampa version coming back. Since that always changed every year, and had new characters, and comedy, and dances, and plots, and updated pop culture references. They were building a Fiends cinematic universe with the Tampa shows, while Williamsburg was just doing the same thing every single year, and still does the same thing every single year. No hatred for that version though. Anybody that can sing live, multiple shows a night, and not completely destroy your voice, is amazing to me. I've just always liked the Tampa version more. Probably because I lived in Florida, so I feel loyal to my local version. I'm looking forward to seeing what the 2026 version has in store. Even now living in California, I still watch the YouTube videos of the newest versions of Fiends every year. It's also the 25th anniversary of the original 2001 version of Fiends at Busch Gardens Tampa this year.

They held their annual stage show at Sunshine City, and some new characters showed up, and some new songs were performed. It's not as long as previous years, but it is still fun to watch. The people inside of the costumes are obviously doing their best to give the audience a good show.
