 Last weekend was the opening of Knott's Scary Farm 2018 and we were privledged to be able to attend 2 of the first 3 nights of the event. And we can tell you, we're already looking forward to our next trip. It's simply amazing. We got some great pictures both of the event and a couple of maze tours from the HorrorBuzz event thanks to Scott who attended. Enjoy!! Written by Gregg Condon Pics and Videos by Scott Linder and Gregg Condon Welcome to Knott's Scary Farm  We'll start off with a tour of our favorite maze of 2017, Dark Ride. It's pretty amazing in 2018 as well.  Be sure to check out all of our videos in this update, all in glorious 4k! Slideshow of the tour Next up was a tour of Pumpkin Eater, another of our favorite mazes of 2017. Which is also pretty amazing in 2018.  Thanks to Norm and HorrorBuzz for the awesome tour!!! And to Scott for sending us the pics!!   Not your typical red carpet  The fog is coming    The coolest  Our first maze of 2018 was the all new "The Depths" which is seriously so fun. And very fun to shoot pics and video in. (Just remember, don't disrupt the monsters, maze security or other patrons).       As the sun goes down, the fog rolls in   Carnevil has always been one of our favorite scare zones, but this year it's just on another level. The addition of HangTime has really completed this area.    Halloween Hootenanny is back, no monsters when we rode on Thursday, not sure if they will be back this year. But a fun, fun time for all!!  Paranomal Inc is back with an all new ending, which is fantastic!! This maze has NEVER been better.   Foggiesta Village  Who else wishes this ride was open for Scary Farm?  The Hollows is fantastic  And Pumpkin Eater is the perfect fit for the scare zone   Gabe is ready for Trick or Treat Lights Out  Always one of our favorites, and was easily the longest wait all weekend.   The hanging was also back this year. Always a fun look back on the past year. I'll admit, I'm getting to the age where I don't get some of the references. Eek. The last new maze for 2018 is Dark Entities. You could tell from the first weekend they are still finding their way a bit. Like Pumpkin Eater last year, I get the feeling that as the weeks go on, the crew here is going to find their groove and this maze is going to be fantastic!!  The effects and Lighting in Dark Entities are great!!   Some pics from around the park     Thanks Knott's for another great year of Scary Farm. We can't wait to get back soon!!   Related Videos:

 Yesterday was Media Day for the amazing new ride RailBlazer at California's Great America. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what an amazing event it was. Thanks to California's Great America not only for inviting us out, but for building RailBlazer. I'm also still trying to wrap my head around how much I absolutely LOVED RailBlazer. Because I really did love it. It's just a very fun and unique ride. Written by Gregg Condon First let's start off with some videos, the first being me making a fool out of myself on the Reverse POV. Note: We also took some Reverse POV in the back row but are having some issues (old SD card). Going to try and recover it but it's not looking good. Stay Tuned!! And of course, the actual RailBlazer POV!! Lastly, some of the most amazing B-Roll footage I've seen from any park on any ride. It's seriously amazing and you should all watch this. Like a lot. =) Let's get on with the Media Day Festivities!! Good Morning CGA!!  Why Hello There!!   It was a perfect morning  Some pics of the ride in motion, be sure to click through the slide show Test Seat!! I didn't have any issues with the leg room. The shoulders are a bit snug, but not too bad.  More pics of the ride in motion. Honestly enjoyed taking pics of this ride so much!!  As you can see, those in attendance were having a blast!   It's just beautiful to look at    Oh yeah, they fed us, and fed us well. Sausage Wrapped in Funnel Cake Batter was a favorite.   The new stage looks great, food festivals in this area are going to be awesome.  Berserker and Whitewater Falls also got some new signs and landscaping!!   Merchandising, Merchandising, Merchandising!! RailBlazer the T-shirt. RailBlazer the Water Bottle. RailBlazer the Hat. RailBlazer the Teddy Bear.  RailBlazer the Magnet. RailBlazer the Keychain.  Quick shout out to Flight Deck. Happy 25th!!  Now back to our regularly scheduled ride pics!!    And of course, the opening ceremonies complete with fireworks!!! We had such a great time at the park, RailBlazer is amazing. I think we were all happy with it and almost kind of shocked at how much we totally loved the ride. It's probably in my top 20. It's THAT good.  Hope you all enjoyed!! Related Videos:
