New for Knott’s Berry Farm’s Halloween Haunt 2010:

“Virus Z”: 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! From the insane mind of Brooke Walters, designer of Doll Factory and Terror of London.

“Sleepy Hollow Mountain”: 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? Brought to you by Haunt Designer, David Ortiz (Dia De Los Muertos)! (Description from Theme Park Adventure.com)

So this means that Virus Z is replacing Quarantine and Sleepy Hollow Mountain will replace Pyromaniax (Timber Mountain Log Ride). We’re VERY excited for Sleepy Hollow Mountain. It sounds like it could be a nice, traditional Halloween theme, which really is missing from many haunts these days. Most haunts are overrun by post-apocalyptic zombies, vampires, and aliens. We can’t wait to see a few pumpkins and witches, and hopefully a fog-filled graveyard.

Knott’s Halloween Haunt opens on September 24.
