-The world's first Halloween theme park event.
-The largest event in the amusement park industry.
-The original inspiration for hundreds of "copycat" theme park Halloween events worldwide.
The site also explains Knott's Scary Farm as, "the original, in-your-face LIVE Halloween experience - a 160-acre living horror movie filled with 13 chilling mazes, 7 hair-raising shows, 3 horrific scare zones and 1,000 monsters roaming for their next victim."
Let me break it down for you...amazing monster costumes, lots of fog, creepy creatures around every corner, mazes that are filled with bloodcurdling screams, and lots of people running through the park trying to escape the horrifying characters!Sound perfect? Well it is!
Aside from the chilling clowns roaming the park, there was a pretty real scare that took place. A Knott's rollercoasters crash! Our group had split in two; a few of us heading into a maze and the others headed to Pony Express - the ride that crashed. Luckily they decided to skip the ride. Thank goodness because they probably would have been on it when it one of the carts collided into another. Despite the several helicopters flashing their spotlights on the rollercoaster for hours, luckily nobody sustained any major injuries. The only thing missing was my Halloween Haunt partner, Stephanie, of Thoughts From Cali, who didn't get to join me. We usually go every year. In fact, two years ago I blogged about one of our Knott's Scary Farm trips.
While I had a pretty great time with some of my other friends, I definitely missed Steph! Next year we will resume our tradition again, though.
Has anyone else been to Knott's Scary Farm? If so, what is your favorite part? Mine is the mazes!

Looks like tons of fun!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun!! Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! There is a ski spot the next town over that they turn into a haunted theme park... nothing like the one near you. I took my daughter & some friends and hid behind her son's eight year old son the whole time... ( I pretended like I was protecting him but made him go in front)! xo
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking yesterday that I really want to find a good haunted house to go to! I love being scared (in a controlled environment) as well, and I need to do something drastic like that to get into the Halloween spirit. Though I gotta say, the idea of a roller coaster crash is the scariest of all, and now I'm gonna be anxious about getting on roller coasters, ugh!
ReplyDeletei haven't been to that one either! i do want to try though, but i kinda know i'm gonna back out at the last second. haha. ;)

OMG! I used to LOVE Knott's Scary Farm! I lived in SoCal for a few years as a preteen/early teen and went a couple of times then. Probably my favorite thing on earth at the time! Last time I was there was about a decade or so ago though.
ReplyDeleteooh, but the roller coaster crash? um... not a very cool scary!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a blast...minus the crash of course!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, looks like the greatest fun ever!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are all making me incredibly jealous of halloween!!!
Sounds like fun; wish I could go one year :)
ReplyDeleteI just can't get into the dressing up thing! I enjoy the holiday (especially giving little ones candy. They are always so adorable!). But you always look great and in spirit!
ReplyDeleteYou are brave, girl! I don't know why I'm such a baby, but I cannot handle people jumping out at me. I'm determined to find out what happened in my childhood that has turned me into such a puss!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are fabulous though, and as always, you look gorgeous :)
That is mega awesome! I love the costumes! Knotts definetly rocks!
ReplyDeleteThis really looks like a lot of fun! Wish I could go ;)
ReplyDeleteXoxo
I LOVE Halloween! I used to go to Knott's all the time, it's where my hubby and I had one of our first dates =)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a blast! I love Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun! I love when theme parks have special events for Halloween, they really get you in the spirit!
ReplyDeleteAhh!! What cool costumes! Love them.
ReplyDeleteEven though Halloween usually scares me, this looks like so much fun! Dressing up and really enjoying the occasion is always perfect :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, Knott’s sounds 100 times better than Six Flags Fright Fest (that’s all we really have around here). Halloween really is such a fun time of the year. I really love a good scare and I’m bummed we haven’t done any haunted attractions around my way.
ReplyDeleteI love the pic of you with the creepy clown, but that is really scary about the coaster crash. I’m glad you and your friends weren’t on it!
Looks like soooooo much fun. Kinda miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you! I am so sorry I could not make it this year....Looks like I missed out on a good time, at least we got to go to the corn field maze together.
