Worlds of Fun: Construction/Hints for Haunt?

A blog post was made on Worlds of Fun's Hot Air Blog recently. It showed some woods that had tape between some trees. Now if we're not mistaken over here at CFHN, those woods are possibly the same ones used for the Camp Gonnagitcha Haunt. The WOF Hot Air Blog is notorious for teasing readers with hints for not only Haunt, but new rides as well. Which one is it? We have no idea.

Back in March we had heard a rumor that a Cornstalkers type of maze would possibly be replacing Camp, so is this a confirmation or hint that Cornstalkers is officially coming to Worlds of Fun? We'll have to wait and see!

Kings Dominion: Under Construction

On the BehindTheThrills Twitter Account, there was a recent tweet that mentioned construction already taking place for some of the mazes at Kings Dominion and their Halloween Haunt. Here's the tweet:

"Was told by entertainment here at #KingsDominion that most of the houses for Halloween haunt already under construction."

Well we already know that construction is in full swing at Knott's, and now we have KD on the list! Who's next? Feel free to drop us a comment if you hear anything about your local park starting on construction for this fall!

Knott's Berry Farm: Virus Z and Sleepy Hallow Mountain

Yesterday, Knott's Berry Farm tweeted about two new attractions at this year's Haunt! Replacing Quarantine will be Virus Z. This maze will be designed by the twisted mind of Brooke Walters who was the mastermind behind Terror of London and the Doll Factory. Here's the description of the maze according to Knotts' Twitter Account.

Fiesta Plaza explodes with a brand new zombie nightmare. The virus is out and the end is near. Enter the barricaded town of Pleasanton where the virus has turned the entire population into ravenous zombies.

Sounds great! Along with Virus Z, Sleepy Hallow Mountain will be replacing Pyromaniax in the Log Ride. This attraction will be designed by David Ortiz, who designed Dia De Los Muertos for the 2009 Haunt. Here's the description from Theme Park Adventure.

Ghosts and ghouls, witches and goblins, long-legged beasts and things that go bump in the night...take a dark ride through haunted Sleepy Hollow. The witching hour is at hand and the legends of long ago haunt the living. Specters and witches are on your heels as you try to out run The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. Can you keep your wits? Or will you lose your head?

Sounds great! Both sound like awesome additions/changes, and we can't wait to check them out this fall!

Sounds great! Can't wait to see all the old & new returning to Knott's this Fall. Stay tuned for more news & rumors!

Kings Island: Doll Factory on the Way?

We received an anonymous tip last week saying that a Doll Factory might be added to the park this year for Haunt. Once again, as we have done for other posts, we are going to label this under "Rumor" because it hasn't been confirmed yet.

We wonder how this maze will rack up against the Knott's version of this same theme if this rumor proves to be true. The facade of the Doll Factory at Knott's is cool, but some of the facades at Kings Island have proved to be very interesting and unique. We will have to wait and see.
