Knott's Scary Farm 2008

[Rick_A_Mortis]

My only issue with the video on the Knott's site looks like other Cedar Park Haunts, not Knott's.

Anyone else catch this?

[elly]

yeah rick i noticed this too, it IS another Cedar Fair park's video, there are no Knott's monsters in it, and that's disappointing. but at least the still shots are Knott's monster! but i do really think they should have used Knott's footage for the video, it is the American original afterall

ooo, that'll be interesting!

its kinda lame that in the FAQ's they say that Haunt is the one that started "copycat" events at hundreds of theme parks.....yet they used one of those copycat places' video footage

and i know for a fact that they had access to Knott's video footage via my friend who runs the haunt site i mod at, because they used all his photos for the photo gallery.....


...the mystery continues...

Club Blood
GhostRider 2 - New!
Welcome to Club Blood where the music is hypnotic and the cocktails are bloody. In the dark underbelly of the city, human victims are drained of their life to nourish the children of the night. Join the hypnotic dance macabre and explore the dark side of the undead.

This condemned casino is ready for the wrecking ball, or did that already happen? Here, the only thing more frightening than the cocktail servers is the constant refrain of “Seven Out!”

Knott's Scary Farm
2008 Line-up

Shows:

Fangs
A Vampire Show
Ghoul Time Theatre
Carl Philblatt, the president of the Society of Undead Creatures Kickin' It, has hired two non-vampires (Frank Maciel and Jeremy Carter of Hacks) to sell other non-vampires on the upside of vampirism. The two vampire "sellers" will intersperse wacky vampire comedy with a cast of edgy vampire dancers and singers. 21st Century vampires living in an 18th century, gothic, castle-like vampire lair.

Inferno
Silver Bullet Midway
Lethal combinations of fire, dance and pulsating music returns to create one of Haunt’s “hottest” shows. Get ready for fire spinning, eating, breathing and more.

Dr. Cleaver's
BIG
Election
Bird Cage Theatre
Cast your vote for insanity as the demented Doctor hatches yet another fiendish plot with the help of his psycho sidekick, Wolfgang.

The Hanging
Calico Square
Loosely based on Indiana Jones, it stars Santa Ana Smith. The set resembles an ancient Mayan/Aztec/Peruvian Temple. As the show begins, sitting atop a down lit pedestal is a large jar of Knott's Boysenberry Jam. There is movement. A shadow of a man wearing a fedora appears. Santa Ana Smith of course. He simulates the idol grab sequence from "Raiders" and of course what ensues is chaos. Smith has with him a group of inept explorers and a side kick who always seems to be the one who gets injured during Smith's dangerous attempts. Pop icons of the year's previous headlines will be "sacrificed." The usual blood bath fight sequence will return.

Festival of Freaks
Gauntlet Theatre
Zamora the Torture King amazes the audience with his mind blowing, invasive, self-inflicted pain torture. He shares the stage with Miss Electra who also amazes the masses while her body tolerates thousands of watts of electrical current.

The Hypnochick
Comedy Hypnosis
Wagon Camp
Roar with laughter as De’Anna the Hypnochick seduces volunteers to perform embarrassing antics while in a hypnotic slumber.

The Chipper Lowell Experience
Boardwalk Ballroom
Prop illusionist/comedian Chipper Lowell returns on selected nights to show our audiences what happens when comedy and magic collide.

they also shortened the original descriptions for the Shows...


...strange things are afoot at the Circle K

[Professortango]

wow, surprised to read all the love of the Grudge maze. My friends and I waited over an hour to see it and were all greatly dissapointed the first year. Glad to see it isn't returning along with Feary Tales.

I do wish we could get Ed Alonzo back. I remember 2007 being the first year I walked out of a Ghoul Time Theatre show. Bring Dr Cleaver or Ed back to the GTT, stop handing it out to mediocre ideas.

[elly]

Ed Alonzo will be performing at Great America's Halloween Haunt this year i believe

Now for me...this just sounds bad, bad, bad. Hey kids, vampires that are edgy! Extreme! Whoo! I exaggerate some, but yeah...this likely won't be very good. Wacky vampire comedy? Yeah. Hopefully they have eighties haircuts, skateboards, and cool sunglasses.
