Lemme see... *goes and checks AP blackout dates*. Alright, looks like I'm doing nothing that weekend, and as long as I can get a ride, I will probably be able to make it on the 18th (Saturday). Possibly the 17th. Well, I'll try and figure this out. ---Brent

Elissa- Please change mine to "Come join the Black Parade". Thanks! Brent "long live MCR!" Shenton

Hey everyone! This weekend has already gotten off to a great start. Last night I went to Knott's Halloween Haunt and had a great time at my first Haunt ever. Overall, the whole night was simply amazing. My reviews and pictures are below. MAZES Red Moon Massacre 5/10 This was kind of a wierd way to start off the night. Only one good scare throughout the whole entire ride and it was REALLY ghetto. It was still fun though. Feary Tales in 3-D 5/10 This maze has so much potenial, but does not have enough scareactors. There were so many good places that the monsters could hide, but none of them were there. OK maze, very bright and colorful. The Asylum 9/10 This was one of my favorite mazes. Good talent, excellent props, and I loved the people behind me always getting freaked out. There were a lot of parts that there could have been scareactors, but anyways, this maze was REALLY good. Only sad part was no Joey. Hatchet High 8/10 This maze was what Haunt knows about comedy. Very funny and a couple of great scareactors. The signs and doors were really cool and the overall theme was great. Lost Vegas in 3-D 2/10 Defenitly the worst maze of the night. The only good parts were the music. Not very good, but the signs outside were funny. 13 Axe Murder Manor 10/10 Defenitly one of the best mazes of the night. Great talent, great scenery, and just an overall great maze. I really enjoyed this one, even though it was the longest wait of the night. Red Beard's Revenge 9/10 This was a great maze even with all of the negative feedback it recieved last year. I really liked the scareactors in this maze, very nice and also talked with us. Terror Vision in 3-D 8/10 This maze was another example of Haunt's comedy. Very loud, lots of use of strobe lights, and ok scareactors. I remember seeing pictures of this maze with more themeing and scareactors, but oh well. SHOWS The Hanging: The Other Dead Man's Chest 10/10 Wow, this show was freakin HILARIOUS! Great pop culture jokes and even fighting fast-food icons make this one of my favorite shows of all time. It is also very easy to quote. SCARE ZONES Ghost Town 8/10 The original scare zone, but certainly not the best. It was very cool and I saw many different scares. Overall, pretty good, but could use some work. Silver Bullet Mining Town 10/10 The best scare zone of the night. Great monsters, and some awesome scares. Also has a lot of chainsaw guys, which is cool by me. The Gauntlet 9/10 Number 2 on my list of favorite scare zones, had some awesome monsters. It had one KILLER slider that slid about 30-40 feet. Great scare-zone, but overuse of fog. CarnEVIL 5/10 Worst scare zone. Not much talent and only some ok scares. But, if you are afraid of clowns, defenitly not the place for you. Onto the pictures! Haunt has come for 2006! Red Moon Massacre is GHETTO! The Asylum is an awesome maze! No Joey though. Creepy. One of the only rides we went on last night. We skipped it. Didn't look that good anyways. Awesome. Hatchet High. Great maze. Since I was at a theme park, I had to take a picture of a roller coaster. Don't you like my chicken? Random antics on the merry-go-round. The talking skull from Red Beard's Revenge. Bloody dude. And me. Awesome dead horse and rider thingie. And to end the update, the electric chair guy! Next up: SFMM's Fright Fest ---Brent

The oldest coaster I've ridden is probably the Giant Dipper at SCBB. ---Brent

I really think that Tatsu's seats are very comfortable. You're just nice and snug and feel very safe even though yuo're hanging like 150 feet in the air. ---Brent

Oh man, I miss you guys by a couple of days! I'm going this Friday (October 27th). I wish I would be able to go with you guys, but I have school the next day. Well, have fun! ---Brent

I should be able to experience both of the main haunts in my area this weekend (Halloween Haunt & Fright Fest). I'm pretty excited, these will be my first major Halloween events. ---Brent

I've just recently been to WDW and it defenitly shows up Disneyland. All the rides and the atmosphere, I don't know it was just a lot more fun for me. Sure, I go to DLR a lot, but this summer I really got to appreciate some of the more intense Disney rides. ---Brent

Well...the water ride sounds nice! Honestly, any park that has one of those Vekoma kiddie coaster things, automatically goes down a notch in my book. ---Brent

This is awesome! I'm really happy for you two, I hope he/she likes roller coasters! Anyways, just had to put in my words of congrats. ---Brent

Original Prankster - The Offspring ---Brent

Yay! I finally get to pop my Intamin 1st generation drop ride cherry! I should be there on Saturday unless anything else comes up. Expect an update from me. ---Brent

I've yet to go on any haunt mazes ever, but I will this weekend seeing that I'm hitting up Knott's and SFMM in two days. ---Brent P.S.- Joey, are you in the Asylum this year? I'll be looking for you at Haunt!

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad @ DLR ---Brent

Wow, thanks Jahan! That was really cool! I wish I could get out there this year but, I don't know if I'm even going to make it to Haunt. Excellent TR, glad you enjoyed it! ---Brent

Axel F - Crazy Frog ---Brent The Annoying Thing!

Great to hear Ghostrider is running good again! I remember getting the sh** beaten out of me sitting in the back row this July. Xcelerator is still the best ride Knott's has to offer, and I don't see how you didn't like the rehab on Perilous Plunge. I thought it was good, but not great. ---Brent

I'm really looking forward to this event. I probably won't be able to go, but I hope whoever does, cover the event with lots and lots of photos. I think this has real potenial seeing HHN at USF has been such a sucess. But, USF is overrall more popular than the one here. ---Brent

Psyclone's! Best tunnel would have to be the re-entry tunnel on MK's Space Mountain. Very cool, I really enjoyed it more than the one here. And the one at DL blinds me everytime I ride. ---Brent

Nice pics, I really enjoyed the Indy and stunt shows. I thought they were really well done, great job by Disney. I miss good Tower. ---Brent

I thought on that ride you used "turkey callers"? Nice photos, I can't wait to finally get to Holiday World. ---Brent

Wow, as Robb and Elissa state, "Only in Europe." ---Brent

LOL, nice PTR! Can't wait to see the IOA pics, I really miss that park. ---Brent

^ The only time paintball hurt for me was the first time I got hit. From there on after it hasn't hurt at all. As for annoying paintball players, welcome to my world. My brother is freakin OBSESSED with paintball. I mean so obsessed, that he runs around the house pretending to bunker people and diving and sliding behind our couches and stuff. It gets on my nerves. At least I don't run around the house pretending to ride a roller coaster. ---Brent
