Not scary?

My 8yo loves to be scared and he is very upset by the lack of frights at fright fest. We spent the day riding coasters to enjoy the scare zones at night. But aside from the chainsaw people, it seemed like most actors were creepy not scary. We made two loops and he didn’t get any jump scares or even unexpected sudden appearances. It seemed like each zone only had about 3-4 actors at any time.

Is this typical or did we just have bad luck?

I thought he would be too young for the haunted mazes, but maybe I have to splurge to actually be scared?

Meet and greet with Nox

this happened a few weeks ago… is this happening most days in the park? Besides a meet and greet with Nox and a team member taking our photo using our own phones, there was a signed “photo” of him and we could choose one memorabilia like a keychain or pin. Just thought it was a nice and unexpected nice touch, given everything is monetized here

attached is a picture of the “autograph” lol

Shortest lines for hot cocoa / drinks at night?

six below in southwest territory seems somewhat better… still maybe 3-4 dozen people in line though.

also has anyone else ran into food service people not scanning your pass correctly and then saying you owe money? had that happen twice in the last day

At Fright Fest, I noticed they are playing a Boards of Canada track overhead.

I hope the licensed it from the boys, listening to it makes the crowds a little less crazy.

I like the new stationary parade floats they added just behind the carousel

Perhaps they should retrack the parade route in the offseason?

Memorial bricks : who else is waiting?

I ordered mine in July. I haven’t received any info as to when it will be installed or when my mini brick will arrive. Is anyone else in the same boat?
