The 2007 season of Fright Fest was a little different than previous
years, being toned down further after concerns about unruly crowds in
the previous years. The new Six Flags focus was on trying to bring back
families and young children and focus less on the teen thrill seekers.
As a result, Fright Fest was also scaled back slightly with an increased
emphasis on safety and security in the park.
The scary
atmosphere was somewhat dampened by the park's emergency lighting system
being turned on for the event to illuminate some of the darker areas of
the park. Darkness makes for a scarier Halloween experience but it also
causes safety issues.
The ever popular hayride was eliminated
and replaced with a stunt show in the Arena. Many guests saw this as a
downgrade to their experience, but there were many logistical, safety
and cost issues with the hayride. At the time Six Flags was
restructuring it's massive debts incurred by previous management, so
budget cutting was going on everywhere, including Fright Fest.
