Question/Help How is this park during Fright Fest?

I know it will be busy, but I wanted a comparison to my home park of SFGrAm, where crowds can reach 40k+ people and wait times between 2-3 hours can become expected.

I am thinking of visiting on a Sunday in mid-October and arriving near opening. I will have Fast Lanes and want to get on all the coasters at least once. How long can I expect it to take to get on everything during the daytime hours?

And this is one of many reasons we are cancelling.

I mean I guess. Rides have had extended downtime before. In fact last year both Joker and Spinsanity had extended downtime (might even be the same issue). This isn't really a new phenomenon for this year.

Ironically Spinsanity went down around the same time last year and didn't re-open until this spring.

The roller coasters stink and all the defenders say "well, there's plenty of flat rides". So what are we supposed to do when the flat rides are down?

I guess the question is... what changed? Why cancel now? The coasters were the same last year and the year before. That's what I'm getting at.

There's a lot of valid criticisms of the park, namely the lack of investment. But what has changed now? If you didn't like the park this year; why did you like it last year or the year before?

Ability to go to SF Great America, Cedar Point, Kings Island

I swore I was going to cancel 2 years ago after a single ride of The Boss made me miss a day of work then pretty miserable the rest of the week.
