There was a lot of animatronix, the props were a lot more elaborate than previous years. You could tell right away it's better this year because of the huge robotic bat at the front gates. They seem to take it more "seriously" this year.

Just went tonight... 8-11 still packed despite the rain!!!! Since there were so many more people they opened till 12:30 today. There are four "haunted houses" and one clown maze, pretty good for the first time but i doubt i'd go again unless there was a super hot chick.

fright nights suck, but if you've never been, good to go once i guess. | Fuck seriously...I was freezing my ass off that night. Cause when I left my house at 5pm-ish and the sun was still out and it felt pretty warm(still cold but warm) so being the idiot I am I brought a thin-zip up instead of a jacket...then the temperature dipped fucking 20 degrees that night..FML. I was shivering and freezing my balls off and waiting outside in the cold at the bus stop while watching bus after bus drive by since all of them were packed and full until like the 5th bus..

Went last Friday and it was fucking cold!
Feet were frozen by the end of the night. We went to 3 houses and gave up on the last one (beside the arcade) because the lineup snaked around like crazy. Probably a good 45 mins - 1 hr wait.

This was my first Fright Nights and I gotta say it was pretty decent. I wasn't scared by any means but the quality of the houses were pretty solid fo sho. The house beside the Fun Centre, at the end when you walk through the tunnel that was dope haha.

So really you should just assume 11pm to be on the safe side and if they happen to close later then bonus.

I think this years alot better than passed years. The Clown Maze was seriously a waste of time i think, tooo much walking not enough scaring. Plus i went last Thursday and it was raining and i waited 70mins for 1 haunted house. Albeit it was a Pro-D the next day so there was alot of kids out that night. But near the end they all had to go home and i managed to get onto 6 rides, and 3 haunted houses within a hour so it more than made up for the massive waiting i did in the beginning of the night.
So if i was any of u, id try to go on weekdays cause ur gonna be waiting along ass time to see shit if u go on the weekends, plus bring an umbrella if it might rain. I was seriously considering buying someones umbrella for like $50

Have to agree with the Maze. The only reason I went to it was because we walked by it going to another Haunted House and there was no wait so what the heck. It's mostly walking and you come to a total of like 4 areas where there's an actor dressed as a clown. I couldn't wait to leave that fucking maze soon enough it was such a waste of time.

The glass maze by the hellavator was interesting because it was dark and its hard as shit to see. I was so focused on not smashing my face into the glass that I almost didn't notice a HUGE Jason character lurking near the exit with a giant ass machete. I saw him at the last second and let my friend go ahead. She screamed for dear life. It was most excellent  | |
