Knott's Scary Farm 2024

[Wesker69]

Here's "Legacy Store" pics from Saturday that I've been neglecting to post lol... *sigh*

 

[Wesker69]

Here's a few random merch things.. a lot of the merch is very "generic" with Scary Farm branding. Only a handful of things are event related. I was so annoyed by the lack of "Final Year" Bloodline & Waxworks merch that I forgot to grab pics of a few new things

2024 - Lanterns (now with spider)


2024 event shirt (now with AI)


KSF might be "Home of Nightmares", but HHN is "Where Horror Lives"

Backpack or purse too big? No worries! Get this new clear tote from the Knott's Legacy Store. Let EVERYONE see your personal belongings for only $17 +tax!

No way they literally copied the same style as HHN’s design this year for that second to last shirt pictured. Ain’t no way.

I really do think AI is rampant between both this year. They look way too similar and are missing something personal between them.

Buying both these skull shirts from Knott's and HHN for shits and giggles XD

Why stop there? You also need the "Home of Nightmares" & "Where Horror Lives" shirts too!

This is scum! Genuine scum!

Kind of baffled by how greedy this is.

I wonder if I could get one of my kpop lightsticks to "react" to their sensors. At least the ones that has the Bluetooth tech for concerts.

Honestly, I'm not surprised at all by this. It goes along with the kpop fandom of "ver 2 & ver 3" lightsticks. The newer one has upgraded tech rendering the previous model incompatible for the connectivity/pairing at concerts. However, I belive both Stray Kids & TXT had patch to upgrade the software of their ver1 lightsticks because they understand we can't always drop $50+ everytime.

As great as it would be for a patch upgrade be available for last year's Lanterns, we have to remember this is Knott's. They still use physical swap out the number waittime signs rather than invest in digital. So yea, it sucks. But not surprised at all. Can't wait for the riot this will cause lol

Oof

Gonna go out on a limb and say unless the effects this year are genuinely spectacular, this is probably the last year we're gonna see these.
I get why they sold well during the 50th cuz it was new and special to have a memento from that specific year, and I think they might even sell decently this year too, but I don't see it going any further than that.
A 50 dollar upcharge for some pretty basic effects every single year just aint sustainable for anybody, and it's not like popcorn buckets or souvenir cups where they actually have a practical purpose the other 10 months out of the year, its kinda just an extremely expensive very bulky toy that doesn't even look that different year to year. Maybe scale them down a little price wise or completely revamp the design year to year to be a tribute a new maze or a retiring maze that year, then theres at least some reason to collect them.

Oof

Pretty sneaky, sis

Oof

Who does Knotts think they are? Apple?

 

[Wesker69]

I hope it backfires & they get a lot of backlash

With that being said, at least keep the themed set ups in the SZs/non-SZs because it really fills a void

Keep in mind, these new lanterns do have some features that the old ones don't have like the interactive tag game. The employee could have easily been referencing that, not actual activation effects. Willing to not put the cart before the horse on this one yet.

Looks like Cinema Slasher's exterior got a little upgrade! This is very cool.

 

[Jake S]

Lmaooo that's awesome.

If the eyes don't light up & arm doesn't "stab"...

I will riot

 

[DTH]

Reminds me of a certain franchise that I've been wanting for years........

I stg if they secretly built a new section in the maze and it's based on Scream, you might have to pry me out of the exit.

 

[Spookies n' Stuff]

Hate to have to even say this, but that concept art is absolutely modified with AI art right?
a lot of objects and even the spiders in the background have abnormal shapes or blend into other objects around them, and theres some nonsensical artifacting of random half-formed objects in almost all of them. Seems like stock assets blended with AI assets in photoshop.

 

[queenmetroid]

Yeah, you're 100% on the mark. The staircase in the first picture is not correct and the wheelchairs all disappear into nonsensical shapes.

That's disappointing.
