The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread

P. 651: Montezooma's Revenge project terminated?

Recommended Posts

There are signs ALL OVER Buena Park directing people toward Haunt parking. Why? Does Haunt attract a less geographically inclined clientele than Knotts by itself? Is that a rhetorical question? lol, just sorta felt unnecessary as there are already permanent signs pointing the way to Knotts.

 

Those signs have been going up around Haunt time ever since I can remember. It hasn't been as bad in recent years, but I remember times were Beach Blvd was backed from the Knott's vehicle entrance down Beach Blvd ALL the way to the 91 freeway and sometimes to Orangethorpe. The 91 would even be backed up and would have TONS of traffic going both directions at Beach Blvd due to the large amounts of people going to the event. In preparation for similar traffic, I imagine they have the signs scattered around the city so people can get off at Valley View or Knott to take other routes to the park in order to reduce the cars on Beach Blvd and avoid sitting in Haunt traffic.

Last night was the VIP night for Knott's Halloween Haunt and TPR was there with David, Spears, and some special guests! We tried to give you a feeling of the event as a whole, including some of the best shows, newest mazes, and scare zones - while also having some fun along the way. Haunt this year is great as always. It delivers the awesome mix of unique shows, terrifying mazes, and scare zones that have made Knott's famous as one of the leading Halloween theme park destinations. We definitely recommend checking it out! Now, on with the pics:

Lockdown was great!

857234248_34(Custom).JPG.05657d3a494eb983c85f890395058eed.JPG

Next up... Delirium! Spears says Delirium has some twisted stuff! David says it's awesome scary fun. Gertrude pooped herself.

1967806405_35-1(Custom).thumb.JPG.c2b9409f0974f3efba5ffc67e95c7cc1.JPG

There's this creepy thing...

741253964_35-5(Custom).thumb.JPG.80446f1a6004d048c7e979bcaa3b9a4b.JPG

It's a great comedy show.

1771888703_35-8(Custom).JPG.6c5fabf7e1cab947262c0a691128a58e.JPG

It's hard to describe exactly what this show is...

973831049_35-10(Custom).JPG.a5f8e1b11f05cd9d10eaaf618a81dce0.JPG

... but we enjoyed it!

2083824188_35-12(Custom).JPG.d5ecbc3f994823c3ebf59031fd3297a7.JPG

Then it was off to more mazes.

406421193_35-11(Custom).JPG.851cc92a6918055252b446c7f0c412dd.JPG

We hit up Endgames.

508359748_35(Custom).jpg.421fcc38d53985eaa5469603f8d6ba75.jpg

And then continued on to Fallout Shelter with our stylish 3d glasses.

1865020265_36-1(Custom).JPG.7807180c79d86289c1bc929bbaec8cf7.JPG

Did we mention they have rides here? We took a spin on Silver Bullet to round out the night.

1846365547_36(Custom).jpg.22503eaaa26d26f0f7c97a57d5fe36c0.jpg

Our phones had a "killer" time... One died and one is almost dead.

957859463_37(Custom).jpg.449d36d4fd91388d39446b7376033411.jpg

So we'll call it a night. Thanks Knott's for an amazing night of scares and fun!

Awesome Photo TR! Thanks for doing TPR proud!

 

BTW, who the hell did Ed Alonzo sell his soul to!?!? He seriously has not aged in 20 years!!!!

Awesome TR, just out of curiosity does Gertrude fly south for the off-season? Or is SoCial south enough?

 

Gertrude lives in So Cal most of the year, but she travels all over the place to attend amusement parks. TPR memebers have posted pictures of her at parks around the US and in other countries!
