So I just did the haunt last night and, wow, my socks are officially knocked off! Those scare actors definitely know that they're doing! Even the actors in the scare zones for me, I'm usually not got! I usually just walk through the mazes and look at the props and can typically spot an actor a mile away. I was actually scared, quite a few times! Even on a second round of Diablo, they still got me! And man, that thing was nuts! Blood on the bayou was insanely cool too. I've never been to a super high level Halloween event, like say Halloween horror nights at Universal, just my local ones and BGW Halloscream, but man was I impressed. Really high quality and worth the extra $10. When you break it down, it's only like an extra $1.20 per maze. I don't mind paying extra as long as i it's worth the money, this definitely is. The props were really cool and mazes emersive, guess I just got used to how lame HOS has gotten. Plus all the coasters stay open! I know I'm always disappointed at BGW because I'm always looking for a night ride on Pantheon, but it's always closed for HOS, for some reason. Same with Alpengeist. I understand it's that area is being used for the event, but it isn't, so why? Coaster night rides were just the cherry on top for me. If you have to choose between KD or BGW, pick KD for sure! Plus if your a gold member, don't forget your free caramel apple funnel cake!

Haven't been to a KD haunt in many years, so I have a few questions.

I'd like to get some night rides on some of my favorite coasters, which ones say open during the Haunt?

I know there's an extra charge for the mazes, does this apply to gold season passes as well?

Any neat shows?

Since I've heard BGW is kinda lame, I'm not going, but I'm super excited about KD!

As the title says, I think I just had my last ride on Panterian yesterday. 😓 I decided to take a solo trip to KD yesterday because my son is away at camp and I had the day off so I decided to take a break from responsibilities for the day and have a solo park day. It was Monday July 6th, very low capacity day and I was marathoning coasters, especially Twisted Timbers, love that thing! Panterian as per usual was on and off day, and I kept missing it. It was over 100 degrees so it needed cool down time. I have to get a ride on this thing every trip, so later in the day I waited about 10 minutes and it was up. I blacked out, hard. I've blacked out on it before in the back, but not for this long or hard.I even remember thinking, oh damnit right before it happened. I'm thinking it was because it was freaking hot it was running extra fast, and my blood sugar was a bit low. I was really shaken up, but I was fine by the time I got to lockers. I've ridden this thing allot in past, even when it was Intimidator 305 and themed to Dale Earhart. No issues when I was younger. Now in my 40's I think it's just too damn much for me. Thankfully, I can still ride everything else, no problem. Anyone else thought "that was my last ride" after riding something? Getting old sucks.
