Welcome to For Your Amusement, a theme park podcast that aims to exhaustively evaluate the world's most popular theme park attractions to determine if they are world class. I'm Ryan Bergara.

I'm Byron Marin.

And today we are going to actually be learning how to design a maze.

That's right.

And by maze, I mean a haunted house like the ones you would see at Halloween Horror Nights or,

notably Not Scary Farm.

And today we actually have creative designer from Not Scary Farm and just Natsbury Farm in general,

Gus Kruger, who also designs the mazes there. Yeah, that's right. It's a lot of fun. Obviously, we do awesome stuff all year, but scary farms are the most fun of all. And of course, guys, thanks for having me. I'm always always a pleasure to talk to you guys. Thanks for coming out again. Thank you for braving the SoCal traffic to get here. That's right. I did it for you. Crossing County lines. Welcome to the TIGU's garage. That's the true sign of faith and loyalty.

And then also we're going to be doing a little bit of a preview of this year's event because

Not Scary Farm about to be in full swing. It sure is. As you are very well aware of. I got my Notary farm slider shirt on because Byron and I were lucky enough to be able to go to the media preview.

We saw you there looking great on a balcony.

Overlooking ghost town.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And then if you recall, Gus was on the show last year to talk about Eight Fingers

Nine, which is returning this year, as well as a bunch of other mazes returning.

So maybe we just start there really quickly and just kind of jump into this year's event.

And then after that, as I mentioned up top, Gus has a presentation that you, this presentation, you showed it at midsummer screen.

Yes.

This presentation was prepared.

I was asked to teach a class at midsummer scream in association with,

there's a haunt designer competition called haunt comp,
