Photo TR: Warner Bros. Movie World Halloween Fright Night!

I went to Warner Bros. Movie World's Halloween Fright Night last night, and while it was my second visit for this year, it was MUCH better than the first. Firstly, the night apparently had just under 2,000 people in the park, while my first visit (October 17th) apparently had 5,000. Tonight (October 31st) is apparently a sell out at around 8,000.

The park was great, with the beginning of the night having a fair few actors around Main Street scaring guests. Of course, these actors seemed to disappear later into the evening, accept for one, who was chasing kids up and down the street.

The fog throughout the park was thick and made guests (at times) have to put their hands out in front to stop them from running into other guests. The lights, however, were not as good as last year. I don't know why, but last year's lighting seemed to provide more 'wow' than this year's.

The shows were really 'meh' this year. Firstly, the rock band was replaced with a stupid vampire show, which was so boring! The Nightmare House film was just two short films thrown together, which left some guests walking out before the second one even started! However, unlike last time, the projectionist fired up the chairs' air puffers right at the end and caused everyone to jump! While cool, it would have been even better if the effects were fired off when the film was at its scariest, not at the end.

Superman Escape was running two trains and wait times weren't an issue. Road Runner was only running one, however, wait times were not an issue either. I didn't see Lethal Weapon because when we went over at 8:40pm the queue had already closed -- even though it was meant to close at 9pm and wait times for that ride hardly ever exceed 20 minutes.

The mazes on the second visit were MUCH better, despite one. The Fun House was full of clowns and while I am not afraid of clowns, I did still jump in a few spots... and got chased out by a clown (8 out of 10)! The Bedlam Manor was also full of actors and they didn't just stand there like last time -- they were pretending to be wall hangings and dead people -- and really did cause everyone to scream just a little (9 out of 10). The Dragon Alley was very boring on my second visit. I did not see even one actor in the main room, and this type of maze really needs actors, otherwise you are just walking through a pitch-black maze (3 out of 10).

What else? There's not much else to add. The night was great and next year's should be even better. However, it does get boring at around 10pm when the actors start disappearing and the guests depart. I think a show in the show stage is a must and more actors in the mazes is essential! Plus, I think we should keep Main Street for live music acts and use the show stage for any real 'shows'. I also am really angry that I missed the Thriller dance...

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Uncle Fester rules!

Thanks for the pictures. I've enjoyed checking out the TR's of Halloween event from all over.

nice photos, they come up really well

The Uncle Fester character was really well done. It was fun watching him run up and down, chasing the screaming girls, lots of fun. He also made a cameo appearance in the Moto X show that they held in the Hollywood Stunt Driver arena. Best paid actor at the park I say.
