155 days till Halloweekends!

Good luck everyone! I can't wait for tomorrow! We are so close, yet so far away.

Anyone know if they are still going to have the nightly Overlord ceremony?

Happy Hauntings Screamsters. We were hoping to make it down on Saturday, but looks like the hubby has to work. Hopefully the following weekend.

We'll be waiting for you ;)

yes, we'll be there at 8 just like last year.

^Sweet!

Well everyone, Tonight is THE night! :-D

Let us gather together my fellow Screamsters, night is coming!

yarrrgh!

Does anyone know what time the Overlord does his speech? Also, does he do it on Sundays?

Usually the overlord does his speach around 8 pm and as far as sundays i dont think there is one because the park closes at 9,except for columbus weekend it will happen on sunday.

It was a very nice start to HalloWeekends tonight. The weather was nearly perfect for the fog and the moon was out. The improvements to Terror Island and Fear Faire make both zones more intimate and allow for more focused interaction with the Screamsters, so good marks there.

On a side note, the pizza buffet at Midway Market is much improved over previous years, mostly because they're serving the new pizza this year. Since it's only $10.25 plus tax (which includes the drink) it's actually a pretty good deal all things considered.

First day down, and I am beat... up that is! Took a fall at the enterance to fear faire, in front of guests! Scooore!! But had a great time and can't wait till tomorrow to do it again.
We were told at close that we broke the Halloweekends opening day record, so here's to things to come, *raises tankard in air*

Had an awesome time tonight! Fully agree with all of the comments above. Nice to hear tonight
was a record breaker. It was definetly noticeable that the park was more busy than the usual opening Friday.

Will have a longer review at some point, just want to say how great it was and how awesome everyone did! :)

it is at 8 friday and saturday. The columbus day info is no longer accurate. once October starts we'll be going out every sunday and I believe the outdoor zones are open 7-10? so it would be around 7 on those days. Don't quote me on those times, but we will have 3 day weekends all through october.

I seem to remember the sign on the Hot Summer Lights control booths saying the Overlord gathering happens at 7:35. When we arrived tonight at around 7:45 the Screamster teams were dispersing to their respective fright zones.

hmm I'd take the sign's word then, after 7pm its a blur to most of us, that would make sense though, the zone go is 8 so we've got to get time to get over there and in place. In either case we had a rather large group waiting there already last night.

Last night had a great turn out! Let's see what tonight beholds!

I have attended Halloweekends since it's beginnings and I have to say last night was the best I have seen especially for an opening night. There seemed to be a lot more Screamsters than usual and they just really did a fabulous job overall. Especially enjoyed the changes to Terror Island. Great job to all the Screamsters!!!!!

Looks like the park is jam-packed today.

Looking at the parking lot ide say the park is packed,and looks like there parking in the overflow to woohoo!

Dang, look at that line for TTD.
