PHOTO TR: Knott's Halloween Haunt 9/25 Opening night!

[winningfreak]

Well, last night me and my friend went to Knott's for part of the night then we decided to split up because it would be more fun alone and it was! I only have a few photo's though because they didn't want flash cameras and photo's didn't work good in the dark... We started off on a ride, Suprime Scream! no line walked right on. (This was great did not expect this at all!) then on to the Xcellerator! witch, also had almost no line! we then finaly did a maze. the "Killer Clown Kollege" It was a fun maze one of the shorter ones though but fun... We then rode Boomerang (no line again) and on to Lost Vegas - 3D! now, The 3D glasses they sell and not required so the first time I did it I did not buy them but I found a pair later on a ride and redid the maze and thought it was worth the $5 or what ever they where charging for the glasses.

 

Lost Vegas 3D was maybe my favorite maze because of the way it was done, Servers with drink trays falling on you and someone stuck in a slot machine made this maze awesome. then we went onto the Pony Express

 

After that we went onto the 13 Axe Murder Manor . I did not really care for this maze as it felt like alot of walking for little thrill although I really did like the libary part but out of that this maze wasnt all that great.

 

Across the way from that was the Doll House Factory where it was extremely hot inside the old dance room. I wish I passed this one up because of this but oh well, at one point there was a section where it was supposed to be like a winter wonder land but felt more like an oven...

 

When we finaly got out of there we went to get a soda... just guess house much the vending machine was... Seriously... $3? nope. $3.50... keep going... $4! thats right I put $4 in a Pepsi machine and selected Pepsi and got Fruit Punch (lucky them I like fruit punch) at this point we decided it would be more fun to split up and do the mazes our selves.

 

 

I walked through the Ghost town streets and personaly I hate fog machines. They make me feel sick of chorse though they where every were it was more like Fog Town.

 

Ghostrider! I always loved this ride but it was extra bumpy. in the picture you can see my face of pain! I'm serious! it hurt (last row) and the fact one of the trains last row's where broken the extra long wait for pain was not worth it.

 

Then onto the Asylum and Club Blood. the Asylum wasnt to bad, but nothing really special. Club Blood though was like a strip club. Girls dancing on poles and in "Cages" this maze was also covered with Fog Machines.

 

After that I did some walking around then Alien Annihilation. In front of this one they where renting out Lazer Tag guns so while you go through the maze you can try to shoot the targets and goblins. This was a shorter maze and IMO not worth the gun rental (I didnt rent one anyway though) because of how short it was.

 

Then I took a spin on the Sierra Sidewinder. I love this ride it is always smooth and fun. Then the Slaughterhouse. outside of the maze they were selling BBQ ribs! I didnt get any but it was a fun maze. I liked the smell of ribs all the way through it. After this maze I did another maze I do not remember the name of and road Montezooma's Revenge and Jaguar. On Jaguar I was a little disappointed they didn't make some kind of maze out of the temple. I thought that could have been fun.

 

Then I went to Panda Express for some food. same as everywhere else twice as much $$$ after that I did Pyromaniax. (The Log Ride) I really do not see where they got the name because I do not remember seeing any fire but guys hiding and jumping at the log... Still cool though because most of the lights are off so its completely dark witch I always think makes a better ride.

 

And Quarantine. I really liked this maze, maybe the best there! but short really short probably the shortest maze there and due to the fact its going to be a movie dunno if this will return next year even though it is the first year. The firefighters there did a good job acting and the sets where the most detailed.

 

Up next and last besides riding a few rides again, Cornstalkers! This was a great maze that takes place in a Corn Field! I really liked this maze because of how long it was and how diffrent it was. A lot of the maze there where people jumping out of the hay at you with really gave you no clue when someone was gonna get you.

 

 

All in all it was a fun right, Little crowds did most everything besides a few mazes and had a lot of fun. I would recommend going alone though I think I had more fun when I was alone and my friend agreed.

 

 

Pictures!

Wow, seriously? come on this is supposed to be a huge event!

Glad to hear you had a good time! I'll be going soon. Did it feel like the first day of the event? Meaning were maze operations smooth, were the maze characters bored or really motivated?

Lost Vegas 3D was maybe my favorite maze because of the way it was done, Servers with drink trays falling on you and someone stuck in a slot machine made this maze awesome.
