What is new in 2014?

For 2014 some of the mazes will return but even scariest. But there is a couple of new mazes  and new shows that will be to die for...

Special Ops: Infected seamlessly integrates interactive gaming technology with an immersive mountainous landscape, delivering a breakthrough interactive haunted experience that is as terrifying as it is challenging.  Missions will take guests through a variety of wilderness terrains, including the unpredictable barrel bridges across the rushing river, through the dark caverns, and through mysterious backwoods.  Six acres of the beloved theme park is now home to mutinous, scream-inducing zombies, and the time has come for a harrowing Special Ops survival mission.
Picture
Voodoo: Trudge cautiously through the cursed swamps of the Deep South, where creatures search the murky bogs for their next bloody sacrifice and demons curse the innocent with Voodoo hexes. Guests must choose their path from a number of foreboding choices, resulting in a different terrifying outcome with each journey into the swamp.

The Tooth Fairy: The joy of hiding a lost tooth under the pillow becomes a nightmare of pain and blood in this new maze that will leave teeth chattering.  This twisted tooth fairy steals more than just baby teeth as he drags his victims out their bedroom window and into a world of deranged dentistry.  Unbelievable special effects include a blackout room through which guests must feel their way out, a disorienting x-ray strobe light room, and a final encounter with the massive tooth fairy, himself.  Say aahhh. 

Trapped: Lock and Key: This year Trapped returns with more rooms, more intricate puzzles and a shocking finale more extreme than any experience ever presented at Knott’s Scary Farm.  You become part of the terror and are forced to face your darkest fears, confront your inner terrors and descend into the madness of a maze with no way out.  Trapped is not for the squeamish as the challenges are darker and more terrifying than any that have come before.  (Additional fee and reservation required.)
And there is great news for season pass holders. For the first time if you are a season pass holder you will be able to buy the Scary Farm Pass. You will get 24 nights of terror for $65 dollars with no blackout dates.

TMNT opens August 8th, 2014

About the movie

The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians.  The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April O’Neil (Megan Fox) and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett) to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan.  Based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Characters Created by PETER LAIRD and KEVIN EASTMAN with a Screenplay by JOSH APPELBAUM & ANDRÉ NEMEC and EVAN DAUGHERTY, Producer MICHAEL BAY (the blockbuster Transformers franchise) and director JONATHAN LIEBESMAN (Wrath of the Titans) bring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the popular franchise that has captivated audiences of all ages for decades, into the 21st century. 

Watch the trailer

Did we like it?

Yes we did. I grew up watching Ninja Turtles and this movie was fun and entertained. Packed with action scenes will keep you glued to the screen. The story is different from the origins of the Ninja Turtles that we used to read in the comics, however is good for the development of the movie. It is good to see that the personality traits of each one of the turtles is still there. You can expect a lot of funny scenes specially from Michelangelo. (yes, Mickey is my favorite).  It is NOT the original story, but it is not a bad one.
All we can say is Cowabunga! If we were you we will head to theaters to enjoy a good summer film

I grew up watching the TMNT cartoons and I am happy that the movie is finally here and will be on theaters on 08/08/14. I am also happy I am able to pass along to my son my childhood memories and he can enjoy some of the same things I enjoyed, but with updates in technology.

Paramount has launched the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mobile game based on the summer film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We got the TMNT app in our iphone. I usually get games for my son, however this time, I have been playing the game too. It is actually a fun game, very well designed and entertaining.

In the game, available for iOS, Android and Amazon devices, you can take the streets of New York City playing as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello or Raphael. All we can say is Cowabunga!
