Holy Shnikes Rich and DJ!

Living in Southern California, the biggies and (arguably) best are at the theme parks, but I loved http://sinisterpointe.com/ in Brea when I did it two years ago with their "FEAR" and "Silent Hill" mazes (they took last year off to do the Queen Mary Dark Harbor Event) and this year have a new permanent location. I'm REALLY hoping to make it to this year as it's being described as more of a "choose your own adventure" type of interactive maze with different paths to go through. And speaking of Jeff Schiefelbein and his Sinister Pointe team, They actually made an actual attraction this year for them in addition to the flashlight tour.

Ed Alonso was awesome! I want to go back to Haunt just to see his show again.

*Sigh* it's a good thing food is included on Cruises, cause God damnit I'm going to be here!

Went to the park on Monday and got a few pics of the stuff (there are way better updates out there if you want to go look at them, this is the cliff notes haha) "It's the most wonderful time of the yeeeeeeeear!" Went to Check out Ghost Galaxy agaian (I really wish they would change it up a bit or add more to it, but I <3 it so!) and I got this, WTF? For Captain Eo? Really? Another one that I wish they would change a bit more, I also failed to see the Monkey Bride in the attic this year! You can see the Carthay Circle Theater was topped off.in The back, Totally different dynamic to the front entrance. Closer pic of the Theater/ restaurant being worked on. Another angle, Disney nerds jizzing blah blah blah *Squirt*. Bye Bye Engine-Ears Toys. Holy Shit Carsland looks AMAZING! That's what $400+ million gets you. Something still missing.

I'll be at the Knott's event. Wish I could do the HHN one as well, but I work Saturday's so that's a no go for me. Oh well, One out of two ain't too shabby!

I'm not the least bit surprised by this as it was clearly inevitable that CGA was never really in the "master plan" for Cedar Fair's long term growth. And I'm curious if this will have effect on Gilroy Gardens, or if that's completely separate from CGA now? This is an interesting article that says the 49ers owners are part of the financers with JMA Ventures and a little bit more about the company. I wouldn't say bye bye Great America, but I might be saying hello to 49ers land!

^All two of them?

I'm probably going, but I just go to the parks to hang out (and get drunk, it's my Birthday weekend buy me a shot!) I usually don't do any of the other extra curricular activities (Wonderland Friday, Kingdom Saturday, the Pool Party Sunday, etc...) or the specific meets or do pictures, cause usually I'm not around when they happen! I did do the eye-spy thing (put on by MiceChat and FREE) last year and it's fun to do, especially if you go as often as I do. There's really no advice to be had, they have their events scheduled, but it's not like you have to go to every one unless you want to, the parks will be crowded (but not SUPER crowded like a few years ago when it was a combination of Gay Days AND Columbus Day weekend. That was a friggin' nightmare.), so remember to utilize fastpass and try and get there early.

^Not only is it regional, It's also dependent on chain (Busch calls them all "Houses," Cedar Fair's Halloween Haunt events use "Mazes" Cedar Point uses "Mazes for the scare zones, and "houses for the actual attractions Universal Orlando uses "Houses" and Universal Hollywood uses "Mazes"). I think you're not going to go wrong if you use either name.

^^You might want to try over at Micechat they still have some tickets available for now. And on that note, I'm not eating this week since I bought my ticket tonight! WHOO HOO!

Not enough nudity! Haha Great TR so far.

^^Sounds like you need more fiber in your diet. And BWUAHAHAHAHAHA Markey.

God damnit Six Flags! Now I have to get a pass next year. This looks like a great addition (aside from the capacity and the future slow ops that will run the ride) that I'm actually excited for!

Dread Central got an exclusive first look at some concept art for La Llorona. I'm really liking the direction they are going so far, but it'll be interesting to see how Santa Muerto plays into the story.

THIS! And Wolfman will have the shortest line later in the evening. Last year on opening night, ALL of the mazes had at least 1 hour wait while “Vampyre: Castle of the Undead” was only like 5 minutes. The house is getting stale as it really can't be changed that much since it's open year round. The value of this night is great with everything included. My only problem is money and I work on Saturdays!

I'm surprisingly entertained by this.

^It's the web address youtube now uses in the "share" button, copy the link from the top of your web browser instead and use the youtube code in your response and it should work. I had that same issue yesterday.

OMG she uses the Trojan Twister! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeQbb67DezY

Growing up with the Legend of "La Llorona" I thought the scare zone last year was pretty disappointing, hopefully the maze version is FAR BETTER with so much creative freedom to play with the story.

Apparently due to last year selling out so many nights, they are not offering the Frequent Fear Pass in Hollywood this year. Boo. http://www.facebook.com/HalloweenHorrorNights

God damnit, I'm already going to Knott's for a second time in one year, why oh why do I have to venture back to SFMM as well!!? I really liked Deja Vu, Sad to see it heading out of here, but it only leaves more to look forward to when I can finally make it out to SFNE!

Bye Bye Paddlewheel. Captain "Coconut" Hector 2004-2005

Ridiculously amazing! This is the review I wrote on ticktmaster

^It would be a lot more fun too.
