jarmor Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Ok ok...I think I have it now. Since I wont be getting a frightlane pass, its best to do the mirror house first, then ghostrider...then work my way around the park counter clockwise? Also, before I buy the ticket, are they any local places with discount tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, before I buy the ticket, are they any local places with discount tickets? That seems like a solid strategy if you want to ride Ghost Rider. Your best bet for tickets is either online or by picking up a coupon from Burgerking. There's one by Knott's towards the 91 on Beach Blvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Coleman Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 If anyone wants to hit up scary farm a week from this sunday(20th) and wants to meet up for a bit shoot me a pm. Already bought my ticket with fright lane access so I don't have to worry about the lines and am really looking forward to it after hearing all of the good things this year.

JeromyL Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Anyone know what time season pass processing opens on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpsphil Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Anyone know what time season pass processing opens on Saturday? Usually this time of year you just process ur pass at guest services depending on if the parks crowded or not. I processed my GF's a few weeks ago and we had to go to guest services.

JeromyL Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Do they open before the gates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpsphil Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Do they open before the gates? Not sure, we didn't get there till about 11 and they were open, I wouldn't be surprised if they did for people who bought passes online and wanted to go into the park when it opened.

Jew Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 They have that door to get into guest services from the outside, which I believe opens 1/2 hour-1 hour before the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 That would be cool. I'll look for it and hopefully it opens early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susie zueck Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'm planning to go to Knott's Scary Farm on either Thursday or Sunday, I'm wondering which day would most likely have smaller crowds? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeromyL Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Great day at Knotts so far. Got to ride xcelertor a couple of times without getting off. Woot. No lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I was at the park last night for haunt had a great time. Forevermore and Black Magic were the maze highlights, although I had some really amazing interaction in Gunslinger's Grave as well. I also did Trapped and really enjoyed it for what it was. It may not have quite the impact it did lat year, but I think the Knott's crew did a great job with it nonetheless, and will definitely have their footing for Trapped's third year. Also got to give a shoutout to the guy in the first room on the third track down, you were awesome. I thought Elvira was great, and the dancing was waaaaaaaay better this year. I know people were griping about the dancers not being as..."attractive" this year, but personally I thought the Academy of Villains did a way better job than past dance crews. I hadn't seen Elvira's show before, but I'll definitely be back for another helping next year. Overall a great event this year. I really hope they can find their footing again for Trapped next year and combine everything they've learned into an even better experience!

trj820 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Quick question. I'm a season pass holder, and am planning to hit Knott's on the 1st (And not do anything Haunt related). Am I able to enter with my pass or do I need to buy a ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcoaster Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Assuming you go during regular operating hours (before 5pm), you should be fine. However, if you go during Haunt hours (after 7pm), you'll need to pay Haunt admission. That's assuming Haunt is still happening on the 1st; I imagine it goes for a few days afterwards.

It goes to the 2nd. Does the park close before the haunt starts, or do you get to stay in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The park closes before Haunt starts. Haunt is a separate admission, not included with your season pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarmor Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Ok...I had a few days to think about this. Why do people say silver bullet is this extremely forceless machine? I went into it thinking it was gonna be a borefedt, almost didn't ride it at all but it was a ry good ride! I got some air on the first drop, the vertical loop and wl all the inversion were forceful, to me. And that helix made my legs tingle...so with that said, where's does all the hate on the interweb come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 ^I think it's just a bore compared to most other inverts, but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 ^^ I agree. There are some forceful moments (bottom of first drop & helix) and there are some great airtime moments (over bank curve & the little hop between the corkscrews). This is probably why I like it so much more than Raptor or the Batman clones. It's comfortable, smooth, and re-rideable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
