Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, you're probably within a reasonable drive of a Six Flags park.

But if you're truly dedicated to all things Halloween, then you'll consider making the pilgrimage to Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. Located between New York City and Philadelphia, it's the country's largest Six Flags park, and it's set to kick off this year's edition of Fright Fest this weekend.

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

Jaunted tipster James found the R2D2 mailbox in Jackson Mississipi. Who knew R2 was into taking in some gospel music down by the Pearl River, or maybe the droid hit a blues bar. There are plenty of Mississippi blues events for R2 to check out this month.

He does look quite lonely sitting on the side of the road in Jackson, but at least he has his little blue postal friends to keep him company.

R2 is showing up everywhere this summer.

World's Scariest Roller Coasters: Kingda Ka

These are the things that make New Jersey scary: Camden, controlling suburban mothers in SUVs, and Kingda Ka. Nestled at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, NJ, Kingda Ka is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. And as if it isn't dangerous enough to go from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, shooting 90 degrees straight into the air, there's always the chance that, oh yeah, the car will FAIL TO REACH THE TOP OF THE TOWER AND START GOING BACKWARDS. It's little wonder that the thing is closed just about as often as it's open, which is the equivalent of saying "Oh yeah, Kingda Ka is doing something that could kill you right now. Check back in a week and hopefully it won't."

Take a look at the video. We got a little scared just watching it. Kingda Ka is, after all, king.
