I read the comics, and was thoroughly confused, but there was a zombie batman. I was impressed because they kept it in continuity, Marvel's just does the alt universe thing, which makes for better stories sometimes, but in the end, feels like a a bit of a cop-out, because it doesn't count.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-28544110788405884732013-11-05T05:55:35.685-08:002013-11-05T05:55:35.685-08:00Those are great costumes!!

(The RAS is basically an annual fun fair but on a much larger scale.) I'd been told over and over again how scary the ride was. All I saw was a few glow in the dark skeletons, some cobwebs and a guy who called out "Boo!" Afterward, my friend and I nearly cracked up laughing when we overheard some guy complain that he had never been so scared in his life!

I don't know that there was anything especially freaky about the zombies, but their makeup was amazing. The thing that got me was the acting. They were all amazing actors. --As in, they'd come right up to you, limping, lurching and all, and start snapping at your ear until you jumped or ran away. It was awesome.

I like much better paying a higher fee and getting all the rides free, even though probably that's more expensive than pay-per-ride.

I'm glad your family was able to have a nice time though. I agree though that charging extra is just plain rude - you've already paid to get in, not to mention you have passes. At the very least season pass holders should get the extra price stuff for free as a perk of being a pass holder.<br />Tina @ <a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life is Good</a>Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-70727609064059476012013-11-04T03:57:20.564-08:002013-11-04T03:57:20.564-08:00None of those rides or attractions are ever really...None of those rides or attractions are ever really scary.

We were going to head to our local Six Flags for the Halloween events, until we saw that ridiculous one fee per ride/event thing and said to hell with that. I didn't feel like being nickel and dimed for every single thing (Plus I don't have kids, so... no huge loss). What happened to one ticket lets you see and ride everything?
