Thrills By Day
Our day started out great and we immediately loved
how Halloween like the park looked.
Our first stop was the Blood Fountain!
It sure put us in the mood and even though I don't generally
like gory, I did think it was great, especially how it was adorned by
skeletons!
We headed to some of our favorite rides and hot spots in the park.
We really enjoyed the Haunted Wagon Spells, a hay ride that took
us out of the park, through the woods, near the water, and even by a haunted house.
Along the way we met up with some spooky yet friendly creatures including
Frankenstein, Dracula, Witches and more. This is great for little ones
and gets a bit scarier at night.
The trick-or-treat trail was fantastic and worth it.
It was short but got the job done and along the way we met Bug Bunny,
Taz, Tweety, Porky Pig and Daffy Duck! We
also had a blast at Professor Slithers' Creepy Critters where
spiders and snakes stole the show. The music of a local band
was the backdrop of our fun at Dawn of the Dead and we could not
help but dance along at the Monster Mash Bash!
The day was fun for all ages and there was nothing scary about it.
It was appropriate for all ages! There were more than enough
things to choose from including the new Spooky Kooky Magic Show,
The Spooktacular Street Party, Ghoulmaster's Ghosts,
Safari Discoveries, Safari Theater and of course all of
your favorite rides!
Fright By Night
Of course as the sun began to set and the clock came upon
6pm the tone of Six Flags Great Adventure changed and you could
just feel the excitement in the air. My sons and I were in for some
horror fun and we could not be any more ready for the big scare.
6pm marks The Awakening, new this year. This parade of ghoulies and zombies
hits the Six Flags streets in a huge funeral procession that ends up
with the awakening of all zombies and creatures that will
lurk in the park the rest of the night.
After the Awakening, we headed to the terror trails including the new
Shipwreck Cove where we were chased by sword carrying zombies.
From there we headed to Bone Butcher Terror Tory where we were
spooked through the smoke by shovel scraping lunatics! FUN!
Of course that was nothing in comparison to the fear that
The Manor, Insanity: Gears of the Mind, and Wasteland provided.
If you plan of testing your level of fear this is the place to do it.
I swore I would not scream, but my heart was racing quite a
few times and yes, I did let out a yell or two...or maybe three.
Okay, I lost count at one point!
By the way, if you don't like clowns, I suggest you
stay far away from Circus Psycho. If you like clown terror, you
will love this one. There are clowns everywhere.
When it comes to dishing out Halloween Horror fun, I don't think
Six Flags Great Adventure can be beat.
