Winding Down!
Posted October 19, 2011 by Mike SWell, there are two weekends left in October and two weekends left of Fright Fest. If you’re reading this right now, I can only assume you haven’t been to the park yet since not that many guests make it out of Mortuary Manor unscathed. This also means there’re only two weeks left of the entire 2011 Season. (Cept for you Cali and Texas parks – but we’ll discuss Holiday in the Park later.) So not only are there precious few chances left to hit up a haunted maze, this is also last call on Green Lantern, Raging Bull, Dare Devil Dive and the rest of the coaster lot. This coming weekend is a great opportunity to squeeze a little more life out of your 2011 Season Pass.
Speaking of Season Pass, that’ll particularly come in handy at Six Flags New England this weekend. This Sunday, we’ve got Exclusive Ride Time for all Season Passholders before the park opens to the public. Starting at 11am, you get early access to Bizarro, Gotham City Gauntlet and Catwoman’s Whip. Basically, just cause we love you, we’ll be changing the Fright Fest motto to “Thrills by Morning, Chills by Night.” (Sure it doesn’t have the same poetic ring to it but it means you get to ride rides earlier so who cares?) It’s a nice consolation prize since, as a New Englander myself, I know you’re not spending much of October watching post-season baseball.
Six Flags Mexico welcomes Infected Mushroom to the park this Friday. This is right in the middle of their world tour and they’re bringing along Korn (damn, I wish I computer could do backwards R’s!) front man, Jonathan Davis, for an exclusive DJ set. The show starts at 8:30pm and tickets are available here. Fair warning, these guys are super loud but, if you think you can handle being close to the stage, VIP tickets are also for sale online.
And, while we’re still on the subject of post-season baseball, Six Flags St. Louis and Six Flags Over Texas have engaged in a friendly World Series wager. Should the Rangers win the series, St. Louis’ American Thunder will be renamed American Ranger for a day. Should the Cardinals win coughbutheywontcough, the Texas Giant will dubbed The Giant Cardinal. Also each park’s President has their pride and wardrobe on the line- the losing park wears the winning teams’s hat and jersey for a day. (Look New England fans, I already said I was sorry about the post season. Just enjoy the ERT on Sunday, OK?)
That sound you hear is the 2011 clock ticking, my friends. (Or perhaps you’re just watching an episode of 24, I don’t know.) The point is, the season’s winding down. Let’s do this while we can.
