Coaster Palooza Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) We had the opportunity to be at Knotts Scary Farm Media Day and CGA's Media Day! Gyendolynne and Susan attended the CGA Media Event and I went to the Knotts Media Event. We went to Knotts after the CGA Media Day for the weekend and had behind the scenes tours of 3 mazes (VooDoo, Tooth Fairy and Trick or Treat)! We stayed at Knotts Hotel and did Pre-Scare meal along with the Fright Lane on Saturday. The behind the scene tours were on Sunday along with Fright Lane. Great times, good people and a fun couple weeks. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as we enjoyed going to the events! There are a lot of pics. SFMM was crazy on Wednesday! Glad I didn't go there.

Coaster Palooza Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Ok, on with the Behind the Scene tours of VooDoo, Tooth Fairy and Trick or Treat! Voodoo's Skeleton Key Room! It was great that they let us take pictures Really creepy in the maze I did say creepy, right? A different ending, for sure! Tooth Fairy Maze I had a photo from the Skeleton Key room, but it wasn't that good. The creators family photo. I can do some drillin' with this. Anyone want some coins for their teeth? I think they used the cage from the trapped maze You crouch down and get through it. So much gore Our guide, Brad. Trick or Treat, be sure to ring the doorbell! A witch brings you into the parlor This is one of the scareactors trying to take a nap before the night. It was funny to run into her later in the maze. Has to be the most lifelike/creepy looking doll I have ever seen! More skinnings of animals1 Anyone want to bob for apples? The photos will continue....

Coaster Palooza Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Our group had a behind the scenes tour of 2 mazes at CGA. The mazes were Dia De Los Muertos and Insanitarium. It was great getting the back story of their new maze. The skeleton key room is pretty cool too! Don, a friend of mine in our group, won the raffle prize and was able to become a Killer Clown. He scared people in the Sideshow area as well as in Toy Factory! It was a fantastic time! Jill & Liz Our Group! Don, Susan, Gyen, Me, Jill & Liz The entrance to Dia De Los Muertos! These colors really pop with the 3D glasses! I met a friend.... Cantina! Mas Tequila por favor! Grateful Dead Band! Don & Susan Gyendolynne Can't have enough photos of the front! Vote early and often... for your favorite maze and scare zone! Lockdown took the place of the clown area, since CarnEvil is gone. New Maze, the Skeleton Key room is a must! Before the Earthquake.. The Skeleton Key Room! It's an Earthquake. Don't walk fast through here! Post Earthquake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
