Thanks HauntGuy, it works and it f'n sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I think the best traint to reverse is on Vortex!!!!!!

Personally, I would not want to see The Beast turned around backwards. Why mess with something when it is not broken? While it could be cool, I think it could also be a verry violent ride backwards, especially for first time Beast riders.

What would make you think The Beast wo uld be any more violent backwards? I can tell no difference between the roughness of the backwards racer and forwards racer. They wouldnt have to put all The Beast trains backwards either.

It would not be worth turning around a PTC woodcoaster train just for FearFest. It wouldn't be worth modifying the trains. But then again you never know...

^ I thought there was some mechanics of the train that would have to be changed for it to run backwards.

Beast is not going to go backwards. Enough people get hurt riding it forwards, they arent going to risk it.

Indeed, I'm not sure if the brake fins are offset on the trains or if they are centered, but the chain dogs would have to be moved, as well as the fingers would have to be reversed, which wouldnt be too bad to do. Either way I dont see it happening though.

The chain and anti-rollback dogs are on one assembly under each car. They would have to be reversed. The brake fins are connected to the old skid brake shoe on the right side. They too would have to be moved. The brackets that trigger the block sensors would need to be moved to the opposite side of the train also.

Just close the RECAR and us those cars.

That would take just as much work.

Also The Racer trains have five cars and Beast's have six. Not exactly sure what that would do to the performance of the ride....

Yeah FearFest this year will be better.Rivertown will be themed to Sleepy Hollow and FearFest is only open Friday nights and Saturday nights this year Sundays belong to kids and families for NICK OR TREAT!

For Fearfest PKI should drain WWC and turn it into a haunted walk like CP did to the Thunder Canyon which is the same as WWC.

Does anyone think this ????

WWC will be drained by oct anyway..... but no I dont think it's a good idea WWC has major dropoffs and gears and stuff.

I think they should turn around Face/Offs trains, it would be so cool.

Uhh, there are weirs in the trough, and everyone would trip over them.

You wonder how that "rapids" effect is made?

^I think air blows out of holes on the floor that are under the water to make rapids.

No, that would be what the weirs are for. Just like in a river where an uneven river bed causes rapids, the weirs make the ride's trough uneven. They're basically metal semi-cylinders lying perpendicular to the water flow.

I would love to ride FOF back wards lol. But then again I think top gun is geting turned backwards. Or may be The Beast.

Gold passers get in free, correct?

Last year our 2004 gold pass did not get us into fearfest. PKI gave free admission to fearfest with our 2005 season pass. We got a heck of a deal on our 2005 passes because we bought them so early. If I am remembering correctly our season passes expired at the end of September so if we wouldn't have bought them we would of had to pay to see fearfest.

I think they should use the que line for WWC as a haunt, because it is so long, dark, and very wooded. I think it would lend very well to a haunted path type attraction. Also they already have the gates in the middle so people could easily exit at the end and wouldnt have to go all the way to WWC. Just an idea, but look at it next time your in line.

^ Did they do that one year?

I got in last year with my 2004 Seson Pass, we went in the middle of october. So they didn't expire in September, they just want you to think that I guess so you will go ahead and my your next years pass.

I think the easiest roller coaster to turn around would be The Beastie. Everytime I've been this year I've only notice one train on the ride. Maybe they are retro fitting one of the other trains. That or they will run the Rivertown train backwords. Maybe that's it. If they are having ghouls and ghosts come at you it would be scarier when most of the seats are facing backward. This would also be so simple to do.

Just my thought.

I dont think so and Ive been to FearFest every year since inception. Then again wouldnt be first time im wrong.

If the Train was backwards the people riding it would be sitting backwards because you can only enter the train on one side.

That's not true, last year both 2004 and 2005 passes were accepted for Fearfest.

If Top Gun DID get turned around, it would probably be one half of the train. AstroWorld did that with XLR-8 and called it 8-RLX. What would we have, NUG POT. Wow. Nug Pot. Irish Theme anybody?

I guess I misunderstood what PKI was saying when I got the e-mail. Sorry.. next time I'll keep my mouth shut.

It's an understandable mistake. They make a big deal about the fact that you get Fearfest for free with the next year's season pass.
