WOF does a good job during the day to make sure people stay in the smoking areas to smoke and vape but during the actual hours of HAUNT they have bigger things to worry about. As far as alcohol, they have an open carry policy during the actual hours of HAUNT.  You mentioned CornStalkers, there are literally two booths that sell alcohol at the bottom of the hill (The Oasis and Oasis Deck). 

My suggestion is if you don’t want to have to deal with the commoners in the stand by line entertaining themselves while waiting 2-3 hours per maze, pony up and purchase Fright Lane.  I personally have never had to deal with smoking or vaping or drinking in line because I don’t stand in lines.

My oldest mug is from 2004 and every single one of them says

“Refill offer subject to change or cancellation without notice”

Sounds like they’re well within their rights and to me they’ve been clear from the start.

RZR vehicles.  Kind of an ATV style dune buggy thing. 

They need to stop trying to make Fetch happen

I’m going to be that guy... if 50¢ is going to break the bank for you, maybe SDC isn’t the place for you to visit?

Why not ?  This isn’t a petting zoo.

This looks like a great idea. 
Kids will dig it as well as the parents... 
IF you cant have dinosaurs.....  Gators are the next best thing,

Too bad that doesnt fit SDC theming, that could be made to fit into the wasted space at HDH!! Under the swinging bridge and in view from the treehouses for the kids.....

I say go for it.  There are alligators in Arkansas and probably some in the wetlands shared by MO and AR

I agree.  I think this is a great move by the park.  I think a Premier SR2 would be a good fit in the near future as well

That's taking a page from Kings Island and Cedar Point.

Or... maybe other Six Flags parks?  Most noteably SFA who did this to announce Appocalypse was leaving

Swoosh it won't be called that this year to much money spent on material for this year.  Maybe next year which I can believe because Six Flags is too busy catering to being "Politically Correct".  That is one reason I didn't like the Frontier City going back under Six Flags management.  One reason why I like Silver Dollar City they don't hide who they are if you don't like it then don't go too their park.

Your honor the prosecution would like to submit into evidence the following video supporting my claim

And at that, the prosecution rests its case

Everything you think you know is about to change.

But when will we be advised of the changes to come?

Late Fall Festival - though not “officially” from the park.

Timber Town is already the name of the foam ball factory and with a large arch over the pathway it could be argued the entire kiddie land has been called Timber Town for quite awhile now
