Fear Faire in the old Pirate Ride?

I was at the park last night and while walking over to the Blue Streak I noticed a bunch of theming on the Old Pirate ride.

Anyone else notice this?

If this is Fear Faire, then I'm assuming there will be no more Gypsy Palm reading or whatever it going on?

The display is there to promote Fear Faire. From what I hear, there was some work to be done as of yesterday. I don't think it's part of the actual attraction.

Yeah, I thought Fear Faire was suppose to be up by the Point Pavilion.

The website says it will be on the Main Midway. It is a walk through attraction similar to CarnEvil and Fright Zone

It is suppost to be a walk through, thats why I thought it was somewhat odd to see what looked to be very similiar to a haunted house entrance at the Pirate Ride.

Why did they close the Pirate Ride anyway? Is there anything left of it besides the building, or is it just storage now?

El storage.

Like Walt said, it's just a display. Fear Faire will not be in the Pirate Ride building.

If they're going to make a new walkthrough, it should at least have a new theme . CarnEvil-Fear Faire. They're the same!

CarnEvil is suppost to be like a county fair gone bad while Fear Faire is suppost to be a middle age theme. Personally I hope Fear Faire is better then CarnEvil, its just to light up at the WT midway or something, Frightzone is so much better.

If this is just for display, then the Gypsy reading thing should be back I am assuming.

Does anyone have any pictures of the display?

I don't know where you get your information, but they are nothing alike. Not even close!

Nothing alike?? Not even close?? CarnEvil is like Fright Zone. Just a bunch off creepy characters trying to scare you in the dark and fog. I'm pretty sure Fear Faire will be more of the same.

The reason for adding Fear Faire is to disperse the ever growing crowds that are now attending Halloweekends.

That said, I still love Halloweekends. It's my favorite time of the year at CP.

Tambo - I think what he means is that the theme of the two areas are nothing alike.

well Im just tired of going through the same haunted houses. I loved werewolf canyon just because it was different, but have yet to try carnevil.

Its gonna be different.. :)

People sitting around on the hay bales and planter walls don’t help either. People seem to keep moving in Fright Zone while CarnEvil had too many people sitting down. The area has a little too open of a floor plan compared to Fright Zone. The fog doesn't seem to cover well to help conceal the Screamsters. Being right on the lake could also contribute to that problem.

Whats the old pirate ride?

The Pirate Ride operated until 1996 I believe in the building between Raptor, Blue Streak, and 'Game Day Grille'. The building now is a storage house and houses Park Services.
