Not counting airport layovers, I’ve been to all except # 16 - 18. Have had airport layovers in Dallas and Memphis.

My only visit to New Orleans was for work during Hurricane Katrina during the journalism stage of my life.

I love Washington Square by James and The Road and No Country for Old Men by McCarthy.

I don’t think I’ve heard of any of these books before, although I know three of the authors and have read books by all three.

Do the same lanterns work at Magic Mountain and Knott’s?

I was looking at the lantern activation spots this morning at Knott’s and wondering if they would work during daytime operations?

Is it correct that this was the only original Star Trek explicitly aired as a holiday episode? That’s what was said on the Enterprise Incidents podcast of this episode. #TOSSatNight

Spiders and webs in the trees near Mystery Lodge and Calico River Rapids for Knott’s Spooky and Scary Farms.

Didn’t find it easy to spot all 13 black cats placed in the Timber Mountain Log Ride, Halloween Hootennanny version.I probably didn’t find more than five or six despite a second ride specifically to look for the cats.

Two of them are located in the ride station.

You can take photos of the Stabby popcorn monster in front of the Xcelerator station across from the Cinema Slasher maze during regular operating hours at Knott’s Berry Farm this month.

Photo op with a smiling cartoon popcorn container with red and white stripes along the box holding a butcher knife. The background is a larger popcorn bucket with white and red vertical stripes with the hashtag #ScaryFarm.

Snoopy doing meet and greet in his vampire costume at Knott’s Camp Snoopy for Spooky Farm.

Snoopy’s costume is a black mask that covers just the area around his eyes and a cape that is black on top and red on the bottom.

The meet and greet stage in Camp Snoopy for Knott’s Spooky Farm with three large pumpkins in front and Snoopy in his vampire costume at the back.

There’s a third fudge location at Knott’s inside the renovated candy shop adjacent to Cordy’s in the Boardwalk section.

Thought I was getting to Knott’s early, but it turns out the park is opening at 9 am today and Sunday.

Some more ambiance photos at Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic Mountain last night.

Green and red Tatsu track in front of the Sky Cabin with monster eyes lit up, on the hill up to Willoughby maze and the Sky Cabin.

Fog and red lighting among a tree lined path in the Alice in Wonderland scare zone.

Fog and purple lighting in a tree lined path returning from the backstage Truth or Dare maze.

Purple lighting on tall trees and red lighting above a souvenir stand backstage across from the Vault 666 maze.

Once I saw the monster eyes on the Sky Cabin there, I could not stop taking photos of it. RIP the giant skullI on top of Halloween Hootenanny Timber Mountain Log Ride at Knott’s.

Vertical photo looking up at the Sky Cabin lit up in red light taken from near Willoughby maze. The green track for Tatsu is visible.

The monster eyes lit up with red lights on one side of the Sky Cabin seen through tree cover with the Classic Revolution sign in the corner.

The Six Flags sign near the front of the park above the waterfalls and water fountain lit up in green lighting.

The Sky Cabin with lit up red monster eyes, the Revolution loop, Tatsu track, and green lit up Six Flags sign with manufactured fog in the air.

I wouldn’t have known that either, but I was reading descriptions of the mazes from the guide right before entering Vault 666. 😄

Hubert Wong @spacemanspiff346.bsky.social · 3d

Five of the remaining six mazes were much better than those first two.

Hubert Wong @spacemanspiff346.bsky.social · 3d

Also, thank you to @darrenandpoley.bsky.social for the maze order strategy. Would have been upset to wait more than five or 10 minutes for the Saw maze. Carnage was also a disappointment for the first two mazes of the night, so glad to do them with no wait.

“ I would go to Saw and carnage first, then trick r treat, then up the hill to Willoughbys. The line for conjuring dies down after 10:30 or so, and then the three backstage masses at the end of the night.”

Photos of the Willoughby maze on top of the hill at Six Flags Magic Mountain Fright Fest.

A closer look at the entrance to the Willoughby maze, which looks like a classic two story haunted house.
