A big part of the fun of Fright Fest for me is just sitting
back and watching the really good scare actors mess with the guests.
I think that would be one of the best jobs out there.
One day when I retire my goal is to get hired as a scare actor and
spend my weekends scaring the crap out of park goers.
Despite being surrounded by the undead there were signs that
Boomerang was coming back to life and that there have been some
improvements to the ride. If you look at all of the loop you
can see a bunch of new ties that have not been painted green yet
that have been added to the track to strengthen and hopefully
smoothen out this ride. Boomerang's train was also on the
track so we should see a return of it for 2017 for those of you who
like riding it.
As I said earlier that fog can go a long way in making a park extra
spooky for any sort of Halloween celebration. The River King
Mine Train was wonderfully spooky with all of the fog during our
night rides on it.
The guys walking around Six Flags with the chain saws were really
enjoying their jobs. Bond and I sat back for a while watching
them come up behind unsuspecting ladies before cranking up the saw's
sending their victims running. If you are going to do a job
you have to have fun with it and these guys really were.
Fog plus cool lighting equals me playing around with my camera.
