I may have 2 or 3 tickets for Knott's WCB for sale. Send me an email or PM! Still have a Magic Mountain ticket for today in case anyone wants a last minute ticket! Unexpected move is really cramping my style :-\

I still have a ticket available for Saturday I sent you an e-mail if you were interested! Maybe someone else is still selling their ticket as well.

I still have a ticket for sale as well for Saturday at SFMM PM me or reply here if you are interested!

I was just going to ask right before the tour to confirm that there wouldn't be any actors in there as a surprise/bonus. My six year old has been wanting to do more scary Halloween stuff but I know she's not quite ready for a full HHN or Haunt type attraction. A tour like this though would be perfect for her if there aren't any surprises. Just stick with me or Robb before the tour when we ask to see if it's okay for young kids. Cool thanks! We *might* take our daughter to her grandparents house before the Haunt stuff.. I know even the Q&A can get a bit twisted for a little girl who is still afraid of the Haunted Mansion elevator

I'm moving to a new place so I can't make it Saturday to Magic Mountain and I have 1 ticket for sale. PM me if interested! Also would it be bad to take your 4 year old daughter to the Knott's Haunt Q&A and maze walk-through?

I'd be more interested if it was on a Saturday or Sunday and a bit cheaper (The Knott's event seems to have more and is cheaper) OR an unlimited front of the line pass. That said I might consider it as is.

Has anyone used the X2 Flight Pass voucher that was given out when renewing their Magic Mountain pass (by a certain date)? Do the ride ops know about it or are they going to look at my funny when I try and use it? The voucher says to go through the Fast Pass entrance.. does that even exist anymore?

I too was very impressed with the event yesterday thanks to all who made it happen!! It was exciting to see such enthusiasm coming from the management team. I loved the tour/Q&A portions of the event as it’s really great to know that people on the inside have the same exact concerns that us theme park fans do. X is one of my favorite rides and I’m glad they didn’t let it rot.. I can’t wait for X2 to open. If I had kids I’d be looking forward to Thomas Town (heck even without kids I’ll definitely be checking it out). I look forward to the changes to come at Magic Mountain!

I went October 17th and the event was just as good as I remembered it.. I've always ended up in a 'haunted line' inside a maze just about every year I've been going to the Haunt. I try to avoid the busy days of the season (ie I go on the cheapest nights) so maybe that helps.

I plan on going to HHN later this season but Knott's has more 'new' mazes this year than HHN has in total. Not bad if you ask me. Also I never thought the Knott's staff was unfriendly at all.. That said I look forward to HHN this year as last year felt a bit lacking in the show quality and maze quantity departments.. and both seem to have been improved this year! How busy was opening night?

Thanks for the info.. I noticed I can't seem to buy a Flash Pass online for SFGAdv does that mean they aren't available during Fright Fest or just not online? Also if I ended up making it on Friday the 19th do they charge less for the Flash Pass since the park is not open for the whole day? Just wanted to make sure this trip would be worth it from the west coast during this season.. thanks again.

I'm not really interested in the Fright Fest festivities.. I just really want to ride El Toro and the other coasters they have there. I was thinking Oct 20 and 21. Is this generally a bad time to visit the park? Would I be better off waiting until next season? I'd be willing to get a Flash Pass! Are there any other parks that might be better to visit during October other than Cedar Point, Holiday World, or any of the Southern California parks? (I have visited those in the past couple of years) Thanks for any suggestions.

Me too! I'm staying at CP for 4 nights (my first visit there) this Friday and already planned to go to GL since it's pretty close.. but is KI too far to drive there and back from CP for a day trip? Google maps says it's almost a 4 hour drive. Hmm oh well hopefully CP will keep me busy! Great trip report!

Was at the park on Friday and saw the construction for the maze at Xcelerator. Wooden walls hug a lot of the left-side of the queue starting from where the tester seat and Xcelerator sign is. It didn't look like it was going to go past the left side of the queue (which is right under the tophat) but it's hard to tell.

Yeah that's what I thought I read elsewhere.. Funny I've gone from thinking my California Maxx pass won't let me into the park to trying to get early entry with it. I might end up staying on site anyway. Thanks for the info guys!
