Pirates of Emerson/Fright Fest

I went to the Pirates of Emerson at the fairgrounds and here's how it pulled through this year. I felt the houses were rehashes of last year's. This year's houses were:
Pirates of Emerson
Lock Down
Doll Hostel
Wicked Wild West
Habitat of Hags
We also did the Mental Maze and the corn maze.
Here's some photos of that night.

We also went to Discovery Kingdom's new and improved Fright Fest. We got our 2012 season passes there. This year's Fright Fest included stuff like:
Nightmare Manor
The Awakening show
Super Spooky Sea Lion Show
Shipwreck of Horror
Morty the Mortician puppet show
Bloodbath Bayou
Scrapyard of the Dead
Slaughterhouse Pig Farms
We also rode the Seaside Railway after dark. Here's some Fright Fest photos.

Here's an update from Great America: I looked at the 2012 season pass benefits and one of them listed was free admission to Halloween Haunt 2012! So I guess there's just one more year to experience that great event before the new owners take over.
