    Or they could use Kentucky Kingdom as an abandoned theme park scare zone. That would be so terrifying I might have a Hart attack.

  • I think more than anything else at an amusement park, Halloween events are truly a case where "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Everybody has different expectations, as well as different prefere

    It'd move a lot quicker if the train quit breaking down and we had to walk back to the station.

They really need to do something with Terror-tory. The lines for that are atrocious.

Why do they only run one train during haunt with three cars instead of six? Why not use both trains with all their coaches?

Are you serious? The platform for haunt is only used to accommodate 3 coaches not six. Also the reason why they use 1 locomotive is because of safety. Even at night during the summer you only see one locomotive operating. The reason being is because it is unsafe for two massive locomotives to be running in the darkness, even with headlamps. Plus, what if one of the signals were broken? Too much of a risk for a collision. So the answer to your question is insurance and common sense.

Insurance?

Are you sure about that?

Who is Cedar Fair's carrier? (At last report, Cedar Fair was self-insured).

And how do Busch, Six Flags, Disney, Amtrak, CSX, NS, etc, run more than one train at night?

You got a point terp. I was just trying to point out the track length running two heavy locomotives. The other parks you have listed have way longer than ours assuring more distance between each locomotive like at Busch gardens and all those other parks.

Do they only run one train during Haunt nights? Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure they use both green and blue...

This, my friend, is why they invented radios.

Hmm maybe they do. I only saw #19 operating one night but you're probably right.

Most of the time I seen them operate both trains. The issue with Tombstone is getting people through the actual attraction, a very long and dark walk and people stopping at every measly crate.

Is there a haunt that you'd love to see revamped? What is it? What to?

I'd love to see Tombstone Terror-tory, revamped to something more camp ish.

Personally...I'd rather Tombstone (the trail itself) done completely away with and the cowboys let loose on Rivertown.

Well, Madam Fat.'s is coming back from the looks of it.

Its so darn inconvenient. Especially with all those people jumping out screaming every 5 seconds.

Just the old Tomb Raider: The Ride Photo Booth, that's filled with different supplies and merchandise.

I think BB1's point may have been that the Madame Fatale's "Shipping & Receiving" sign is still on it.

According to Don at the KIC event, Massacre Manor is the haunt that won't return this year. I didn't notice anything in his words indicating that multiple haunts may be leaving. So I'd say MFCoT will return this year.

So let's see, we're probably going to get a doll haunt or something I don't know. BB1, who feels sorry about our loss.

If its true it will be sad to see massacre manor go. i think its sad to see any haunt go, unless its really bad..... I personally kinda like the trick or treat house at knotts. seems like a neat concept. Im always nervous about what will stay and what will go. Ive worked freak street the last two years (first year was nightmare alley) so i always look on the list to see if its there, not that I think its bad but its a fear zone with nothing permanant, easily changed into something else. btw have I ever mentioned that i love the haunt....well i do !

^ Having seen Trick or Treat in person, it is a really cool maze, but its so dang short. (but then again it has the most gigantic rooms you'd encounter at a Haunt being why its seems so short)

From videos I've seen it's this : you go to a house to trick or treat, once inside there are all the Halloween basic s, ghosts witches, pumpkins, when you think of Halloween it's there. It's your basic haunted house slash Halloween Haunt.

I'm just putting this out there right now. I would like to have the Trick or Treat maze at Kings Island this year now that MM has gone, it will rest, but in pieces.

My thoughts about Haunt 2013....It'll b great, no matter what comes or goes. Always is for us! There's not a time, we walk thru the front gates, without saying, "I LOVE THIS PLACE!"

Why is there a random Footer beside DB's Support?
