I honestly don't know.

In October the freaks converge on the town. Psychic fairs, wiccan stuff. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:00 12
- I can't wait! if I'm still here then, maxine and patryk are coming to visit. it will slay. *slay.* -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 16:40
- I went up on Halloween day a few times. It's a fun, party atmosphere. - CovingtonCat Jul 22, 16:31 9
  - I know. it's weird to me to turn it into a party. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:33 7
    - It's an important Wicca holiday. -- nm - the liioulu with graphic novels Jul 22, 16:36 6
      - the orginal witches weren't actually, you know, witches. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:36 5
        
        No, but Salem is a magnet for the US Wiccans. -- nm - the liioulu with graphic novels Jul 22, 16:37 4
        
        I know that. My point, lost. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:37 3
        
        Many of the wiccans in Salem are there to offset the witch stereotype. - CovingtonCat Jul 22, 16:45 1
        
        they are doing a great job of promoting the new witch stereotype. ;P -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:48
        
        I get it, but despite that Salem's become what it is. -- nm - the liioulu with graphic novels Jul 22, 16:40
  - no it's not! SHUT UP!! -- nm - chuckles Jul 22, 16:32
- Here you go. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 22, 16:01
I definitely don't think there's a broom ride rollercoaster. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 15:53 5
- Whatever you do, don't try the dunk tank. -- nm - Ender Jul 22, 15:58 2
  - oh man. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:03
  - hilarious. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 22, 16:02
- i'm sure wiki has a list of rides at the harry potter park -- nm - zork Jul 22, 15:56
- Yet. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 22, 15:54
No, there's just a lot of touristy stuff there. -- (link) - mara Jul 22, 15:52
more like Williamsburg - chuckles Jul 22, 15:51 12
- It's cheesier than Wburg. The official stuff is pretty serious, but the shops are more cheesy. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:00
- I liked Williamsburg a lot. But, I'm sure it's every bit as touristy and cheesy as it may seem to some. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 15:57 10
  - fwiw, I didn't think w'burg was that cheesy. I had a work thing there and someone related to us was on some - b. Jul 22, 16:24 8
    - re: Salem, I want to reiterate that the official historical stuff is serious. The industry around it not so much. - loosilu Jul 22, 16:26 7
      - that's what I was thinking of. there was some stuff that seemed more appopriate for a place like the harry potter theme park. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 16:40 1
        
        growing up in that area, I really got into the history of the trials. - loosilu Jul 22, 16:49
      - Yeah, and that witch on a broomstick painted on the streets thing is pretty dumb. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 22, 16:29
      - If I go to the beach and see kids wearing pirate hats and eye patches, I'm all for it. -- nm - Max Jul 22, 16:28 3
        
        To be fair, the pirates of lore really were pirates -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 16:31 2
        
        right, and one might complain that celebrating murderers is awful. But I think pirates are cool, so thumbs up. witch hats too. -- nm - Max Jul 22, 16:33 1
        
        it might be the same if they were falsely convicted of being pirates. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:35
  - loved Williamsburg -- nm - Epiphany Jul 22, 16:01
