OK... Here's the deal....

Saturday Night. Looking for something fun and original to do with my son... Looking around on the web and I see something about a "Fright Fest" at Enchanted Village.... Hmmm... Looks interesting... Its Six Flags so it must be pretty good. So... I get in the car and drive south on I-5 expecting that there would be some sort of sign telling me which exit to take... There is, but by the time you see it, you have already passed the exit. So you have to travel about 2 more miles to turn around and come back the 2 miles you just traveled to get to the necessary exit...  (Its 142B if anyone is interested, because I wont be using the info again...)

Then after driving for what seemed like forever we find this magic land of Halloween excitement and have to pay $12 to park!!! Hummmm... $12??? Are you kidding me?...

So now I'm $12 into it, but I figure, what the heck, it will be fun. $12 bucks isn't that much... Next, I try to park my car in a huge parking lot full of cars, which normally is easy to do, but.... there are NO lights anywhere. Its completely dark, and not in a scary way, in a "this is F'n crazy" way....

After parking my car about a mile from the ticket booth, we finally make it to the ticket booth where we have have to, you guessed it, stand in line. Wow... its just like Disneyland!

When I get up to the ticket booth I find another similarity with Disneyland. The tickets are $25 bucks per person with no discount for the seven year old, who won't be able to go on most of the rides anyway due to his size. But look, oh WOW!, I'm given the chance to pay an extra $7 per ticket to not wait in line to get into the haunted house! Wow... What a deal. How about I just hand you my wallet and you take what you need. I'll just stand here and pretend I'm having fun...

So now, I'm $87.00 dollars into this and its been like 35 minutes of waiting in line. I'm thinking, "This can't get much worse."

This is until I get inside. The dark parking lot has nothing over the dark park. For god sake people, would some one turn on some lights. I know its suppose to be scary but I can't even see where I'm walking.

So now the fun starts! This is enchanted village! Lots of teens running around without adult supervision, cursing and pushing. I get my food stepped on a few times, and I hear about 5 words even I won't say when I'm by myself...

Super expensive fair food. Oh look, I can buy a 20 oz bottle of cola for $3.50! Wow what a deal!

By now your thinking, "What about the rides? You could just go on the rides!" Well... I tried that, but you need to have a partner to ride with on almost all the rides. Due to my son being about 4 inches too small to meet the hight requirements I was unable to ride ANYTHING! Even when I tried to get on a ride that had no line (There was only one of those)... I was turned away by the pre-teen running the ride.

"What about the haunted house?" your most likely thinking. Well... since I had my credit card maxed out just to get in the door I was unable to  take advantage of  the super good deal of paying $7 to not wait in line to have people jump out at me wearing Target store masks. I decided that the one hour wait to get into the haunted house really wasn't my idea of a good time, so I left after spending about $120 and losing over two hours of my life....
