Last Call!
Posted October 26, 2011 by Mike SAlright, guys. Last call. Queue up that Semisonic “Closing Time” song that everyone pretends to like cause you’ve got one more weekend to experience Six Flags and Fright Fest in 2011. (Except for you Texas and California folk. We’ve got a little thing called Holiday in the Park to prepare for.) But everyone else, grab that season pass and get one more visit in during the most fun time of the year. Then, after Halloween, we can say our temporary goodbyes and promise to keep in touch till the Spring. But for now, lets focus on the present. This last weekend of Fright Fest is a darn good one.
OK, so when I first heard that guests were eating LIVE COCKROACHES as part of Fright Fest, my initial thought was, “What kind of jackass would ever willingly out that in their mouth?!” Well my question was answered with, “The same kind of jackass who would star on a show called Jackass.” Yup, this Sunday Jackass star, Raab Himself, heads to Six Flags Great Adventure to hold court with all brave, slightly crazy guests who step up to eat a giant, live Madagascar hissing cockroach. For spectators, it’s basically going to be like watching Jackass 3-D except the screen is bigger and the 3-D is much, much clearer. The first 20 guests to join in the fun will get free, VIP admission to Mortuary Manor. And hopefully some toothpaste.
Also on Sunday at Great America, the annual Smashing Pumpkins event is back! Bring a pumpkin in to smash and get into the park for just $24.99. A large bullseye will be placed in Hometown Square for the tossing. Just think of all the pent aggression you can get out by smashing a pumpkin to bits. School got ya down? Smash a pumpkin. Lady troubles? Smash a pumpkin. Cardinals fan? Smash like a million pumpkins. It’s really that easy, people. Plus a $24.99 ticket ain’t a bad deal.
Six Flags St. Louis is attempting to set a World Record on Saturday. (I mean if you can’t take a World Series you might as well take a World Record, right?! I kid, I kid. I love you guys.) Registration starts at 4:00pm to take part in what will hopefully be the largest number of people dancing to Thriller at one time. And, hey, if you need a couple Thriller dance tips, you can always check out Jersey Shore’s Vinny Guadagino demonstrating with some Fright Fest ghouls in this video over here.
So plenty left to see and do as we wrap up both Fright Fest and 2011. It’s been a crazy, awesome season with a ton of brand-new, record setting attractions but just wait till 2012. The countdown starts now. Have a great weekend and great Halloween, guys.
