 Last weekend we were invited out for the second year of the Knott's Peanut's Celebration. In it's second year there are more shows, more treats and more fun around every corner. Let's check it out!! Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to the Peanut's Celebration!!  Some pretty amazing photo ops at the front of the park  Photoshop contest!!  There are a couple of things Knott's has been stepping up the past few years, one of them is the Merchandise. I'll be the first to admit I'm not a huge "theme park shirt" person (other than Halloween stuff), but I really love some of this merch.     The other thing they've stepped up the last few years is the food. Let's take a look at some of the great treats for the Peanut's Celebration.        Lots of fun with the Peanut's Characters all over the park  Pig Pen is back!!  Another of the new things this year is the Woodstock's Birds-Eye View. Check out a POV!! Love all of these great signs around Camp Snoopy   It's somebody's birthday, or a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (the best Charlie Brown special, don't @ us)       So we'll be the first to admit, most of the shows at Peanut's Celebration aren't really made for us, but we thought this show was pretty fun. Some video of the show and highlights of the entire Celebration Moo  We of course had to take a couple of minutes to check out the progress on the rapids     Flags in the ground, Hyper confirmed!! (some people on Twitter didn't get the joke)  Last year the Sketch School had Peanut's specials showing between Show Times, but sadly not this year.   We also managed to get a new POV of the Calico Mine Ride since we had the cart almost to ourselves. One of the best rides at the park, or anywhere for that matter. Coolest store!!  Thanks Knott's for having us out, we had an absolute blast as always.  Knott's Peanut's Celebration runs through March 10th. Check out all of the info about the event here! Related Videos:

 The Holiday Season is here, and last night we were out at Knott's Merry Farm for our first holiday event of the season. It's another amazing year at Merry Farm, lots of great new things to see, holiday food and the parks merchandise game continues to improve. Let's head in and see!! Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to Knott's Merry Farm!! Sure, it's only November, and I'm usually a Grinch when it comes to Holiday stuff so early in the year. But as I said on our social media during the event, I didn't seem to mind this year. There's been so much bad stuff going on lately that a bit of Holiday Cheer was exactly what we needed. We hope you feel the same.   No fog, but lots of pretty lights.   And snow  No more Dark Ride for 2018. Maybe next year they should have a holiday overlay to the Dark Ride for Merry Farm? =)  Lots of great new decorations in The Boardwalk   Obligatory construction update  Really loved the decorations in Fiesta Village     Be sure to check out our video from our visit featuring Snow and Glow and more around the park. We'll cover the shows the next time we visit.  They also had a great opening night tree lighting ceremony.  The park truly does look amazing all times of the year, but especially during Merry Farm  Camp Snoopy was very colorful   These swans got stuck  Santa's Christmas Cabin is back where you can try a variety of holiday treats, and of course, hang out with the big guy.    Speaking of Santa's Cabin ... let's check out some of the food  Amazing    Elote is always awesome   This was interesting. I'm not a fan of sweet potato so I didn't enjoy it as much as others did.  If you get one treat at Knott's Merry Farm, make it this. I need this recipe.   Yule log. Not a log, I don't have a log. If I had a log not in the sense that you think I said I did.  Some awesome Merry Farm merch available this year as well. May have to expand my closet beyond Halloween shirts. =)    Thanks for checking out our Knotts Merry Farm Update. We wish you all the best.  Don't forget, if you get cold, be sure to put your lamb over your shoulders. =)  Related Videos:
Related Updates:  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:
