If they're clever they'll turn off all the lights in the show building completely and have DarKoaster give pitch black rides.

If their execution is anything like Twisted Terror this past HoS then I expect some random bright floodlight coming from the corner

FYI to those going tonight, DarKoaster is currently down with no expected reopening date.
Anyways, to anyone who'll be there, see you tonight!

How was it???

Wow...we're on day 3 and no one has posted about the experience. It must have been pretty uneventful.

I mean $70 for 3 hours of night rides on a couple family coasters and Alpengeist is insane. Even for passholders, not too long ago you could get similar experiences across the whole park for free during Illuminights, granted crowds and hours would be a bit different. A summer weeknight at the park rarely produced long lines though and you could ride all the coasters. I'm not really seeing much draw here, and I suspect not many attended. I see this Hill Path refusing to see any value in anything with a direct revenue line item attached.

 

[Zachary]

Yeah. I didn't know anyone who went and I saw no reason to. Just looked really mediocre. It needed something legitimately special to make it appealing.

 

[MrBradferd]

My buddy demetri adventures went and did a vid and had a good time. I can see myself paying the passholder $30 for it but no way $70

@GoHokies87

A ticket gets you admission starting at 7pm, not 9pm. For $35, members get to ride some coasters with short lines In the pitch black dark until midnight. When was the last time the park closed at midnight? I dont even remember Howl-O-Scream staying open that late the last few years.

Wow...we're on day 3 and no one has posted about the experience. It must have been pretty uneventful.

I didn't attend this past Friday due to the expected muggy weather... Maybe next time?

I probably wouldn't pay the $70 but I think $35 is a fair price for what they are offering for members.
