What can SFNE do to make Fright Fest better?

What I want to do is compile a list to eventually send to the
park. I see tons of complaints and want to see where their short
falls are, but also what you do enjoy from Fright Fest!
Let’s not make this a bash fest, but constructive Criticism to
voice your opinions on what you think the park can do to make
Fright Fest better!

For starter, if they are going to insist on having fright zones
they need to up their game. They are more like fright spots with
a small section in each area of the park. They need to spread
out the bigger displays and buy or create smaller props to make
the areas larger. So your not in a fright zone for 50ft or so
and back out of it again.
I Get they are in business to make money but the upcharged
haunts are bothersome. I've been over this on the old forums but
you can't convince me the haunts cost more money to operate than
the waterpark. They managed to do it for years without charge.
At least make the trail and the 2 haunts that ate int it free
and charge a small fee for the more complicated haunts. The
formate worked well in 2004 and 2005 when I visited.

Until people stop paying for the haunts they have no reason to
not charge to do them. It's basically free money for them
because either way they are going to do some kind of Halloween
event either way. I will use my free pass included with
Membership and that's it. I'm not big into the freight fest
stuff and not going to waste money on the same scares every
year. i do enjoy the atmosphere of the parks being open later
into the night though so I'm all for going during that time of
year

I have not been to Fright Fest in many many years. One of the
reasons I stopped going is because I felt like the actors /
actresses did not give a !@#$ about doing their job. Last time I
went they were just standing there. I believe it was in the lazy
river in the water park. I think I will be going back this year
because my sister wants to, and Lake Compounce is just that much
farther away for me. We will see what has changed since my last
visit.

That's part of the reason why they need to rethink the way they
do things. LC has Haunted Gravyardon site which is by far the
best and it's the cheapest option at 36.99 for a combo. Canobie
is easily second with technically 5 haunts plenty of walk around
actors and themeing around the park but price climbs to 36-44.
but that's still Cheaper then SFNE at 52 base park admission
plus a separate admission for the haunts. Parking and food are
also lower at LC and Canboie making your trip cheaper.

In the grand scheme of things and what Ive learned about the
park and how fright fest ticks. There is a guy uncharge of
Fright Fest, Holiday In The Park and summer entertainment! He is
spread to thin, and I ma not sure what they do about training
the actor, not sure if they do just a quick over view and just
hire anybody to fill spots, some are nervous, some don't belong
being a haunt actor and some just want the pay check! Its really
tough to find really good actors these days and they pay very
little and people don't want to work for next to nothing . I
know from when I talked to the park last year, they said a haunt
will get changed out every three years, which is great to hear
verse keeping haunts for 6+ years! I agree though, Scare zones
need to be a little better, Haunts should be included, what I am
noticing is not as many people going in the haunts because they
cost money!

Interesting. If they mostly kept the wooded area the same, like
they did in the past, and kept that free I would not mind paying
$10 or o for 2 larger more detailed rotating haunts.

It seems this year is a bit fo a step up verse the last year.
Nightmare is great, I had a great time in Slasher Circus due to
the actor interaction. New shows are much better, it seems the
awakening did some different stuff and is starting to get into
all gears! Scare Zones are the weakest link at the park and need
more added to it! actors, props, etc Carnevil is the best one
and the one there on main street, the rest really need to go or
get beefed up! I feel SFNE made some great strides this year!
Overall I was a lot happier with Fright Fest then years past!
