I am really bad at going to and having fun at Disneyland. Should be a no-brainer. Not for this guy.

i get that a lot of people will see it as a sort of generic story, and it is, sure, but there is so much love in the background design

And that’s all of the mazes, with some wandering. Gonna go grab some Del Taco, maybe.

HHN was really dialed this year, but if you get to Terrifier and Jason Universe, that’s a decent night.

time to hit up the ol KSF

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 2h

It’s posted 30, it’s not. I have done every maze just kind of wandering in.

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 2h

Did Eight Fingers Nine, now onto the last maze of the night Widows

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 2h

wow!

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 2h

So good. One of my favorite maze variants ever.

Doing the lights out Zoo after about 20 min

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 2h

The Zoo at KSF absolutely nails the Griffith Park vibe. There are scare actors though and it’s VERY nerve rattling going through the KSF version

The Lights Out version isn’t a gimmick. It’s how such a space should be explored. This is one of KSF’s best experiments.

Here’s what I like about The Zoo at Knott’s Scary Farm. The designers were heavily influenced by the Griffith Park Old Zoo and abandoned places generally. It shows. I love this atmosphere. The artists nailed it. The claustrophobic passage through the chains is superb. I love it.

I actually wanted to do Lights On Zoo but there’s no longer a queue that holds off. I’m going to get Lights Out Zoo somehow!

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 3h

Did Mary at 10:28. Racing over to Zoo.

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 3h

Have entered the backstage. I think I have time to do both Mary and then Zoo pre-lights out. Check it.

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 3h

This ended up less than 30. Let’s go get a taco.

You are one of the nicest people but also, you have to understand, you can absolutely destroy souls, I have seen it

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 4h

I mean

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 4h

Ok, Grimoire. Then I’ll finish out the night with the backstage mazes.

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 4h

oh no is it the one who does the KFC joke

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 4h

Enjoying some Ghost Town atmosphere. Haven’t committed to Grimoire yet.

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 4h

As I suspected, Origins was less than 25 minutes. You can’t fool me, Knotts signage. I have eyes, they can see.

relatable, I don’t want to shake hands with Mahomes either. However, I would not slap Long Beach Poly alum Smith-Schuster.

The Athletic @theathletic.com · 5h

A fight broke out at the end of the Lions-Chiefs game.

The events that led to it:
◽️ Brian Branch refused to shake hands with Patrick Mahomes
◽️ JuJu Smith-Schuster confronted Branch
◽️ Branch slapped Smith-Schuster, scuffle ensues
