    Entrance and queue
    Eric S.

    Who turned out the lights?? I mean really. Did Six Flags forget to pay this ride's electrical bill or what? I'm just kidding of course, the intention is that this coaster runs a complete circuit enveloped in darkness. That being said, there isn't a great deal to report. A large warehouse contains the ride and its 60ft lift hill, but oddly only the queue and front of the building have any themeing at all. Even the station/boarding platform is dull and devoid of any thematic elements. The ride itself is pretty boring apart from several decently-sized drops and a nice downward helix at the end. Coaster aficionados might recognize the layout being akin to that of a 'Windstorm' or 'Hurricane' model by the manufacturer Zamperla (which it is). For as tame a ride as it is, lines can get unexpectedly long. Perhaps it's due to the single train operation or the inherent mystique surrounding an indoor ride, but this was one of our longest waits all throughout our 2-park trip, at 25 minutes. Don't let the promise of an awesome dark ride entice you into waiting any more than half an hour for Runaway Mountain. Being enshrouded in total blackness can be thrilling, but with almost non-existent ride themeing and slow station dispatching, place this at or towards the bottom of your list of things to wait for at SFOT. It's worth a ride and coaster cred, but nothing more. Good for kids, but this thrilla is fairly vanilla.

    Super fun Lots of rides and snacks rides felt safe and fun location is great Went on the…read morerides fast haunted houses were great some scary some not I loved every moment

    I been to fright fest for three times this year as I took a break from gaming for 5 weeks and need…read moresomething to fill in the time. With the new season pass and I got the all park passport one, you get a free flash pass per one ride and one Halloween band which you can access all of the Haunted Houses. I ended up doing 4 out of 8 houses. My advice is to do them early as the lines are short and did not wait for no longer than 15 minutes or wait till park closes. The haunted houses are alright. I am not into being scared, but decided to try them out as the lines were not long and I was curious to see if $50 dollars was even worth it. I would say it is not. I would say Cedar Fair parks do a better job at this, but when going through this there was a little scare here and there, but sort of glad it was not. I just wanted to see the thing. The park does get extremely crowded especially during Fright Fest so be prepared to wait in line. The good news is most of the rides are opened even the water rides. I rode the log ride late at night as the lines are very short like 15 minutes at most as some of the rides can be 1-2 hours. The food lines can be ridiculous too. I finally tried out the mobile online ordering for the first time and it was a disaster. I waited an hour to get my food and I saw others that waited in line and order get their food way faster. I did also the kiosk to order, but somehow it takes quite a bit 30 minutes and figuring out how to use your dining plan can be tricky and not obvious as it took me awhile to figure it out. I tried this out at Johnny Rocket's and JB BBQ and had the same experience. I did see their haunted show and it was alright, just a bunch of singing and dancing, but it was good place to relax. I had a good time overall and I did stay from opening to closing and time flew by quickly so I had no issues. I wanted to take a picture of the Looney Tunes characters, but I could not find them in their usual spot.
