Let's check out the scare zones and mazes at this year's Fright Fest...
First up is Deadwood Pass - a vampire-infested western town
Some pretty cool screamsters in this area
Don't mind her smoky eyes, she's going through a phase
Sinister Clowns of the Black Top is over by the Log Flume
Some more fun screamsters in here
Troll Bypass was probably my favorite scare zone of the evening.
The screamsters in here were hilarious and they taught me how to properly bow to their troll lord
This short king kept cracking me up. He was roasting everybody as they went by
Spider Alley always has fun visuals with the webbing
Zombieville seemed to have a lot more residents this year
Due to the nature of their characters they can't really interact with the guests like the other zones, but they were killing it tonight
Heading into the Underground
This area was almost exclusively sliders
Really foggy here
Time to check out the mazes
First up was Oddball's Funhouse
It didn't feel much different than last year in layout. Not a scary maze, but definitely fun with the different obstacles
Creatures of the Corn was a strong maze like last year. It just seems to keep going and going. It has to be the longest maze at the park in length
Listen I want to like Slaughterhouse, but it really needs a refresh. Also the cage thing is kind of pointless anymore
I did make a new friend though
Gordy's Gruesome Revenge was the new maze this year, taking over where Jingle Mangle was. Honestly it's not much of an improvement. I wish they would build permanent structures here for their mazes like at Worlds of Fun because the outdoor ones just don't work that well.
I had fun, but I think there's room to improve here. Hopefully they have the team at Worlds of Fun come and help rethink the festival for next season to make it better
