It appears the demand is not there. The past couple years I've been have been very light on crowds. Turns out they need the teens' money very badly!Is the Demand really not there?
Hasn’t the event always started late September?It appears the demand is not there. The past couple years I've been have been very light on crowds. Turns out they need the teens' money very badly!
Honestly, if you saw what a dumpster fire operations & everything else is leading up to/during Scary Farm, you'd understand better lolSo is there a reason Knotts lets Halloween start so "late"
Like HHN is starting the first week of the month and Disney is in August now. Is the Demand really not there?
I’d love to know about the BTS aspect of KSF. I think future workers will be able to learn from this moving forward.Honestly, if you saw what a dumpster fire operations & everything else is leading up to/during Scary Farm, you'd understand better lol
It's a complete -show, even after 50 years. Which is embarrassing. The event itself is great, but behind the scenes, you'd be baffled the event still exists.
You'd think they'd start way earlier given how much they love to brag about being the "biggest, best, & original". But outside of disorganized chaos, I think it comes down to $$$. While HHN is paying Scareactors $19/hr this year, Knott's is STILL only paying them $16/hr. When I did it in 2022 (same crap last year), they had us work as a scareactor for our maze as if it was a day-ops job (two 15min + 30min lunch). This is why you'll get those "dead"/empty scare-less walk-throughs since only certain roles had a tag-out.
I could do a Q&A honestly love the event, but their ego is bigger than their demand. Unfortunately.
I didn’t experience much of the empty sections until the very last maze at KSF (Room 13). Is this something that has occurred often?Having worked as a scareactor & staff for different haunts, while also going as a guest for half my life, I have a different perspective.
Which is why I'll also go in the corner & bang my head against the wall
They'll announce that they'll have the announcement reveal event in August.KSF better pop up at MSS with unexpected announcements!
Either this, or the complete opposite and they will drop some kind of news there and not have an announcement night..They'll announce that they'll have the announcement reveal event in August.
Don't expect the two mazes to be announced at MSS.
