Just wanting to make sure, are we looking at Six Flags mainly because they have the rights to DC characters? Idk if any other parks have those rights so I wanted to be sure

Fairly certain DC is exclusive to Six Flags.

I personally don’t know anything about the rights, but this article could be helpful:

Knott's would be a fun choice! Plus a Victorian circus theme for Scary Farm would work great with the 19th century Ghost Town.

That’s actually why I was asking about the properties… I was thinking that Knott’s would be a cool option as well!

The circus on the railway out to ghost town fits beautifully
I’m definitely cool with Knotts if that’s what y’all wanna do!!

Day 1 Summary
IPs: the focus should be on original concepts, but an IP could be used for 1 scare house and possibly 1 scare zone or show
Park options:
Six Flags—The Killing Joke and Amusement Mile are options for DC. There’s Scooby Doo’s Ghost Clown
Adventuredome at CircusCircus
Knott’s Berry Farm
Individual Components:
An idea that came to me: space clowns
So let’s keep brainstorming for at least another half day. We will look to settle the park first, then the themes for the different scare houses/scare zones/show. And then later on we can divvy up the tasks. Sound good?
Division of Labor: most of the 8 of us would each be responsible for 1 of those. Dining and Merch probably combined.

So here’s a basic pitch for a Knotts circus attraction.
Come one, come all! The greatest circus in all the world has been traveling all across the brand new Intercontinental Railway and is settling down along the way for performances here in Ghost Town and all around!
See the terrifying freaks like the Bearded Lady or the lizard man! Witness exotic animals from the deepest jungles of the world! Laugh along with our colorful clowns! All here at the World Railway Circus!
The overarching theme of this event would obviously be that the circus has come to town for Knotts Scary Farm and is taking over! I think we lean heavily into the PT Barnum days of traveling circuses and that could give us some great stuff.
For the houses, I think a freak show one would be super cool, have the freaks get their revenge. Obviously the highlight house would be clown-themed and we could do a ton with that. The third we could decide on, I’m not married to any ideas really (except the freak show one).
The two scare zones I don’t really have ideas for. One would be have it themed to the carnival outside the circus and have carnies and cowboys alike mixed up and scaring people, but this would need some more brainstorming.
The show is clear: A Circus! Have a big top, bring in clowns, trapeze artists, fire jugglers, dogs and horses (though I ask we refrain from any exotic animals) and put on a really neat circus. Bill and Ted wasn’t scary but was a staple, so the circus can be eerie, but not straight up scary. The scary part of a circus is the daring stunts they do.
Plus, a circus lends itself to food very obviously with fried food and whatnot. Since this is spread across the park, we can change the circus theming to fit the areas instead of just old west (I’m not very familiar with Knotts beyond Justin Scarred’s videos there). But yeah, that’s my pitch

I'd have to expand on this idea a bit more, but something with an Annie Oakley-like sharpshooter character (possibly back from the grave or gone insane) would make for a great antagonist
Also related to guns tangentially (because the Wild West yeehaw!), a maze combining the Winchester House and a Fun House would make for a great maze concept. Have the ghosts of the victims come back for revenge for whoever built the (fun)house. Maybe we could incorporate the sharpshooter character into this one.
We could also have a Scare Zone themed to some type of fortunetelling camp. We could have some cool, mystic imagery for this one. Possibly tie this into the Boardwalk area (fanservice!)
Probably was very lighthearted, but it's definitely a subject matter that can easily be turned into something freaky.

If we include animals in the show it'd be a perfect opportunity to tie it into some forgotten Knott's history with Bewitched Village show. An animal show that had a storyline of the citizens of a nearby town drinking from a cursed well and being turned into animals!

Other areas include Camp Snoopy, Fiesta Village, and the Boardwalk. Here's a map of Scary Farm from 2019 that shows where all the mazes, shows, and Scare Zones are located:

On a side not since we won't need to split up this round (I think) maybe we could get double the page count for this thread than the one last round (11 pages).
I mean what other objective measure of quality for an Imagineering project is there?

So anybody "knott" wanting to do Knott's Scary Farm? I'll take the following people as interested in doing Knott's: PerGron, Sharon&Susan, Nate, and Goofy. I'm up for it, too. So anybody against the idea, let us know in the next 5 hours or so.
