socalMAN123 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hey all- I thought I would take the oppurtunity to announce that Knott's Halloween Haunt has announced its 2008 maze lineup. The following is a quote taken from the Halloween Haunt Official MySpace: Knott's Berry Farm will add six new mazes for Halloween Haunt 2008, including a movie tie-in with the upcoming horror-thriller "Quarantine," according to theme park officials. The 36th annual Knott's Scary Farm will take place on Wednesdays through Sundays nights from Sept. 25 through Nov. 1, 2008. The granddaddy of Halloween events will feature 13 "murder manor" mazes scattered throughout the Buena Park theme park, with early-morning construction currently underway in backstage areas. The six new mazes for 2008: > "Quarantine" movie tie-in > Alien Annihilation 3-D laser tag > The Labyrinth > Slaughterhouse > Club Blood > Cornstalkers The seven returning mazes for 2008: > The Doll Factory (New in 2007) > Killer Clown Kollege (New in 2007) > Pyromaniax (New in 2007) > Black Widow's Cavern (New in 2007) > The Asylum > 13 Axe Murder Manor > Lost Vegas in 3-D Sounds good, I am kind of sick of the movie-tie in mazes, but "Quarantine" looks like a cool movie, so maybe it will fare bettter then Grudge 2 and Beowulf. This makes me super excited for this year and let's see how they can scare us this time! ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drop-Out Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Eh. Pyromaniax was lame compared to Red Moon Massacre and I still miss Hatchet High. THAT was an awesome house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalMAN123 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 ^ Haha, it's been too long. I'm pumped. Does anyone agree with me that Cornstalkers sounds amazing? ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 whoa! 13 houses??? that's alot ANd why couldnt they just go ahead and call it Killer Klown Kollege? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 13 mazes, I'm already excited! I missed scary farm last year cause I did universal instead, so just about all of the mazes should be new to me . BTW Brent I agree, cornstalkers does sound like it'll be great . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerman87 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Sounds like a good line up. I went last year, and did not like the stupid Widow's Cavern ride. I liked the theme they had before it. Had more monsters. I liked the Pyromaniax though. Had guys jumping at you from everywhere. Can't wait to see how the new mazes are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 ANd why couldnt they just go ahead and call it Killer Klown Kollege? lol Certain groups would throw fits, if you catch my drift. ^^I disagree, I thought Black Widow's Cavern was way better then Pyromaniax. Even though neither of them were very good, I thought Cavern was done better. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 6 new mazes at Haunt=1 good maze (the movie one, since someone else is paying for it) and 5 mazes of recycled props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic hearse Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yay! I love Haunt but they really need to do away with Lost Vegas and stay clear of creating anymore joke mazes and the lazer tag maze. I remember the first few times I went the spread was pretty good. A few of those new mazes sound awesome though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I am actually looking forward to this, but I'm sensing that some Knotts Haunt Fans are already disappointed. Excluding Quarantine and the Labyrinth one, those are all recycled haunts. > Alien Annihilation 3-D laser tag - Kings Dominion has this haunt as well as Scarowinds, > Slaughterhouse - Worlds of Fun has this, as well as Valleyfair, Canadas Wonderland, Kings Dominion, and Scarowinds, > Club Blood - Kings Dominion has this as well as Kings Island and Canadas Wonderland, and Dorney is getting it this year too, > Cornstalkers - Kings Island has this one as well as Dorney (getting this year) Canada's Wonderland, Valleyfair, and Kings Dominion, Even though they are recycled, I still bet that Knotts will find a way to make them the best in the chain.

Jew Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 ^They could just be borrowing the names. I know the various cedar fair parks have had haunts of the same name and theme, but the mazes themselves were completely different. The one example I can think of for sure is one of the park had a C3 (carnival of carnivourous clowns) that was nothing like the one at Haunt.

The Alex Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 YAY 6 NEW MAZES! ...but I miss C3 and Malice.. and Blood Bayou! They took out Lore! FINALLY. But Club Blood is replacing it.. meh. It should turn out great since it's Knott's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think Knotts should do a mummy theme to one of their haunts in the future. I have a HUGE list of haunt themes and most of them haven't been executed so it'd be cool to see some of them be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingbooba Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 HA! Now Knott's gets the mazes King's Dominion and King's Island got! Cornstalkers and Club Blood. And Slaughterhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laqueefa Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Does anyone know if Platinum Season Pass holders can get discount tickets for the Haunt? I tried calling but got the whole, "Im not sure call back later" shtick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFreak Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 ^Yes you do, and I know they run slightly better then the Burger King Coupons. The info should be out soon-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattnz Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I admit, I'm very jealous of the Quarantine house. REC (the original film) is the only movie to have ever scared me, and I can imagine a house would be great for it. [REC] scared the bejesus out of me too! I literally jumped out of my seat a few times. Hollywood's version...might not be so hot if all their horror re-makes are anything to go by...

Thanks, I'll keep trying. Can anyone project how the crowds will be the 2nd weekend in Oct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 ^ It all depends on what day you go. If you can avoid Friday and Saturday I strongly suggest you do so. Any other night would be slightly busier than a normal summer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laqueefa Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 ARG! So I just got fired, which means I will not be able to make this years Haunt If anyone was planning on going and needed a reservation, I will be canceling my stay at the Courtyard by Marriott just a block away from the park. PM me if you're interested and maybe I can coordinate a switch over in the reservation instead of canceling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
