  1. Theme Park Review was invited back into the fog at Knott's Scary Farm for 2021! Although down to 8 mazes this year, the event still brings the screams with returning maze favorites and one new maze. What was most appreciated it the amount of Scare Zone monsters that were out in the street! This was most likely a reallocating of monsters that would have been in the mazes to now be in outdoor area, which was a great option. Mazes were enjoyable, several show options were scattered throughout the park to enjoy when you found maze wait times to be on the longer side or just wanted to sit for a bit. Note that the last hour of the event sees very low wait time for mazes, so to maximize the event, don't be afraid to enjoy the shows between 9-11:45pm, and then enjoy the shorter maze waits when other patrons have departed for the night. Thank you to the Knott's team for inviting us, and congratulations on the return of Knott's Scary Farm! Staring with Pumpkin Eater: Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater. Had a wife... ...but couldn't keep her! Our 2nd favorite maze of the night, is this carney catastrophe! Origins: The Curse of Calico, featuring Ghost Town friends! Catawampus!!! Wax Works has returned. Wax Works, The Depths, Dark Entities and Paranormal Inc., are all conveniently located near each other near Ghostrider! Time to travel into.... Spooky sea! Almost Laval Monster! Celebrating the final year of Paranormal Inc. "What do you mean this is the last year for Paranormal Inc.?!?!??!?" Now let's blast off into space with Dark Entities: And now, the newest maze, Mesmer! A great play on sideshow acts like hypnosis and more! The Timber Mountain Log Ride has been transformed to Halloween Hootenanny, with a fun Halloween jug band music track throughout the ride. Spooky mountain! A look at a few shows around the park. This was a drum and witch show in Camp Snoopy: An 80's show about saving the planet from "Global Cooling", and has Jeff Tucker written all over it! When you find an ancient book, of course you open it and read the incantations! What else would you do with it?! A rock band is found at the Calico Stage in the heart of the park. Scare Zones can be found in Camp Snoopy: CarnEVIL is on the Boardwalk: And Gore-ing 20's is a brand new area in Charleston Square in the back of the park! "Step back into the dark decadence of a by-gone era as the newest scare zone, The Gore-ing 20's, terrorizes even the bravest and most brutal souls. Here gangsters run illicit hooch for the ghostly revelers as the otherworldly musicians play the music of the damned. Tell the Bouncer the secret password, and you'll have the time of your life…for as long as it lasts." We loved the playfulness of this bygone era and the fun around prohibition! Outside the Walter Knott Theater was a flapper ground and swing band! Inside the theater is Puppet Up!, an adult improv puppet show, which we highly recommend! Ghost Town Streets of course come to live with plenty of fog: Knott's Scary Farm runs select nights through October 31st. https://www.knotts.com/events/scary-farm/tickets to plan your visit! Thank you again to the Knott's Berry Farm team!

  2. My first trip to the "World" started in that Christmas, when it was celebrating its 20th birthday. My parents and I just flew from not-so-dirty-Jersey to Florida. But despite my parents enjoying Disney more than me, I look back at how things were interesting back then... Yes, Dale - you can hold me. I'm just nipping at lace, so I don't mind... Waiting for "Sparkling Christmas Spectacular." Despite being too young to remember having seen it in person, it beats the current holiday show "Celebrate the Season" to the T! It's a small world after all... Ooh LA LA! Presenting - German Bandstand! "it's a small world" Edition! That was the first year when SpectroMagic ran. I see a zany pair of ears behind that metronome! I need Goofy to play for the local orchestra! Look at how enchanted and illuminated this garden is! Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather, please make me a garden like that! It's a pity when WDW recently announced that the parade is retired! But I'm posting those pics for nostalgia's sake! Me and DD at Epcot (Center) I found those faces too scary in Canada. Me and DD in Japan. I love how DD keeps the guidemap in his shirt pocket - nifty!

  3. Wasn't it the owners of this park that also rented Magic Kingdom for a night for their employees and did something similar at the castle?

  4. People in new jersey don't pay to park at target, or their grocery store, or a mall. This isn't brooklyn or los angeles (or jersey city). Even people from "Brunswick NJ," don't normally pay for parking Not a single business in bergen county charges customers to park.

  6. Just watched this. So cool. (Note: I knew practically nothing about this park and not very much about this ride, and haven't followed this thread, so I was pretty impressed by this video). It was uploaded a few days ago. Knew nothing about the hotel, or apparently the transfer track that lifts through the actual bar/restaurant, if I understood that correctly? The entire area and music really is amazing.

  8. I don't understand how there's anyway this was an ACCIDENT?!?! This was a grown adult, not some squirmy toddler. It took effort for him to get out of the car the way he did.

  9. In my opinion, your theory is absolutely correct. I did not find any of IB's woodies to be particularly smooth nor worthy of a reride.
