Photo Courtesy of Knott'sKnott's Berry Farm has released their full lineup of Haunted Attractions for the 2011 season. As noted on the LA Times Website, there will be 3 new Haunted Houses, and 1 entirely new Scare Zone. Here's a bit of info about each new maze.
> Invasion Beneath – The military battles against creatures emerging from a fissure in the Earth's core. Replaces the perfectly themed Black Widow's Cavern (Calico Mine Ride).
> Endgames: Warriors of the Apocalypse – A post-apocalyptic arena where gladiators battle to the death for the entertainment of the rich and powerful. Replaces the pointless and endless Labyrinth (In Camp Snoopy at the former Peanuts Playhouse location).
> Delirium – A wasteland along the blurry line between nightmare and insanity. Replaces the mediocre Club Blood vampire maze (Ghostrider warehouse).
Invasion Beneath, as noted, will replace Black Widow's Cavern in the Calico Mineride, Endgames will go in a new location in Camp Snoopy, replacing Labrynith, and Delirium will replace Club Blood after its stay in the Ghostrider Warehouse.
The new Scare Zone for the 2011 season will be a branch off of Ghost Town in a formerly vacant section of the park during Haunt.
> Gypsy Camp – Werewolves stalk a gypsy encampment seeking revenge for an ancient curse. (Along the Ghost Town backstreets near the Lockdown and Delirium mazes)
Sounds like this should be another great year for Knott's and their Halloween Haunt!
One thing I should mention is that in Endgames, the maze replacing Labrynith, Knott's will do something very few parks have tried. Using televisions, they will show other guests walking through the maze using video cameras/monitors in certain rooms.
We aren't sure how it will work out, or if the effect will prove to be useful or even innovative, but we sure cannot wait to see that, along with all the rest of the new Haunts at Knott's this fall.
