Trivia Terror

 

A very special thanks to all of you who took the time to enter our 2005 Halloween Haunt contest!  We wish we could send everyone to the Scary Farm, but alas, the reality is, there can be only three winners each year!

For those totally curious, most entrants got 13 - 14 of the questions correct.  There were a good number however, of folks who answered all of the questions correctly, sealing the fate of those who missed even one of our horrifying questions.

Below are the questions, the correct answers and the winners of this year's Theme Park Adventure Haunt contest!  Congrats to all!

  • Two Tickets to Knott's Halloween Haunt for Friday, October 28, 2005
  • A Special 10-Minute Private Meeting With Either Gregg Picon (Vice President/General Manager of Knott's Berry Farm) or Jack Falfas (Chief Operating Officer of Cedar Fair, Ltd.).  During this unique meeting, our winners will have the opportunity to take pictures with either Mr. Picon or Mr. Falfas and discuss all things Knott's with them, from Halloween Haunt to their plans for the future of the property.  Due to the very busy and of course, unpredictable schedules that both Mr. Picon and Mr. Falfas maintain during the Haunt event, we cannot determine which executive our Grand Prize Winners will actually meet with on the evening of the 28th; the best we can narrow it down, is that it will be one of the two - whichever one is available to meet and greet with our winners.  This is a tremendous opportunity for hard-core Haunt/Knott's fans and we know that offering this will greatly excite our readers and that they will do us proud while meeting either Mr. Picon or Mr. Falfas at the Scary Farm!

And our Grand Prize winner is:  Stephen Moore of Long Beach, California!
