Knott's Berry Farm, Los Angeles, CA
In October 2002 when Michael and I went to LA we went to the Knott's Berry Farm Halloween Haunt (they claim they were the first theme park to have a Halloween night ... it was started in 1973. It worked out well for us, as there isn't really enough there to keep us busy for a full day. We had a lot of fun for the several hours that we were there. The Xcelerator coaster was the highlight of the night, though they had a wooden coaster that was a big surprise. There were several good coasters at this park. I'll try to get all the information up soon (but then I have been saying that for about four years now).
