Bush985 Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 So Don had mentioned he was coming down here to me a few weeks ago, so I decided to tag along for a few days. Monica had to stay back and work on some stuff, so we drove down on Tuesday night so we could hit DLR on Wed and KBF/KSF on Thursday. I have to be home on Friday for SFMW's Fright Fest. None the less thats another day another story. More pictures tomorrow or Friday of Knott's and Knott's Scary Farm. We left Tues around 7PM from San Jose and hit the road. We ended up staying at some motel in Buttonwillow. Needless to say, to the pictures... After a Re-Ride on Gadget, it was time to leave... Don found a stroller to ride out in. So I didn't take the last few hours of photos, but Don and I hit up Gadgets Go Coaster before leaving. Don introduced me to Pat and Oscars... DAMN good food. The breadsticks were awesome. We then relaxed for a bit, and I got a peak at the new Tools DVD, and then we headed back to the park. So we hit up Pooh then decided to go eat some food, but first more decorations. Throw it UP! So I guess some parent left their kid sitting in a stroller and walked away. The kid was sitting htere for a few minutes. Finally the mom came back, but a PSA was questioning where the parent was. Don and his camera. Next up Autopia! So now it was time to hit Space... Oh wait. Only a 10 minute wait... NICE!! Even more. More decorations. The Entrance! Pretty nice decorations. The California sign all done up for HalloweenTime! Finally at the Resort. Ahh... I'll get to ride it tomorrow. Don stroking Mr's Knott's Chicken. So finally we made it to SoCal and made a quick stop at KBF to look for something, I didn't even go in the park. The fires were nuts going over the Grapevine. The visibility was worse than it appears in this picture. We decided not to hit up Taste of India in the morning. So we hit the road. The Homeland Motel. Not bad for $44 a night. The TA truck stop next door had a 35 minute line to buy some water...

vjgx Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Nice photos... I look forward to more tomorrow and/or Friday! Also, a question: any indication of Xcelerator running? I'm going to KBF on Oct. 9th and wanna ride it!

Bush985 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 Alright Day two time. We woke up around 10 and hit DLR for a few hours, then headed over to KBF for the great off-season visit. None the less, it was off to Haunt for opening night. We woke up Friday morning and headed home. I'll be back down this Thur - Sat for a few festivities. I'll be sure to have another Photo TR.. Needless to say... Picture time! Strapped with my arms, ready to take down a monster. Thanks for reading. Final Pictures from Haunt. Didn't take many. Dark Realm with Laser Guns is actually kinda fun. It's Haunt Time! The GTS Monsters enjoy Don's new Tattoo. It's Pat & Oscars time again. So damn good. The Breadsticks are amazing. Time to ride the POS Ghostrider. Ouch. I haven't ridden in a few years and im kinda glad. Don is fascinated with Bears I guess Yea.. Theme Park Review in the house... Don found a way to leave his mark on "Hatchet High." We checked out the mazes as we walked around too. Possibly the best log ride ever. Timber Mountain decked out in Halloween theming. Xcelerator... No Line. Supreme Scream... No LIne. Random Fun We then hit up Peanuts Playhouse! When did they take out the show scenes? I haven't been through since I was a kid. ... Not before some GR8 SK8 though! Don is ready for Haunt. Yes that is real. Gotta love Knotts during the offseason too! Eagerness awaits... It's Bullet time. Well time for a nice shot at least. Ok enough of DLR, time for some KBF... Isn't it Haunt time yet? Unf. we were one day early for HMH. OH well will have to see it on Friday. Did I mention I love the off-season. The pumpkin is also done with it's base in place. Day Two at Disneyland shows more changes to the resort as Halloween Time approachtes. Leaving the Hotel, Don is already raring to go.
deano Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 HA!!! What the hell is with the kid in the pram with the sheet thingy over him??? Great parenting. Maybe he was part of the Halloween theming as a ghost?
Bush985 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 Yea, the parent was about 200 ft away getting autographs from Woody. Pretty sad. -RD
