The first thing you walk into (Ghost Town or something?) hits you with lasers and fog, dimming your vision and creating an eerie presence. The lasers are interesting, but what I noticed more of where down lights that created unique pools of light in certain areas. They came in an assortment of colors, and with the fog around them, the pools of light on the ground looked like muddied waters you had to walk through (ie, swampy). The other effect of these lights was that you could not see anything beyond them, and once you past through, some monster would jump out at you.
The other interesting thing I noted about the lighting here was the placement/lack of lights. When you walked through the mazes (which were not mazes...) they would give only enough light to guide you through, and sometimes not even that. They also used light manipulatively, forcing your eyes to look at one thing while something from the dark went "Boo!" I noticed a fairly even split between top lights and down lights - the top lights creating odd pools of light (again) and the down lights focusing your eyes and pointing out the "creepy" things.
If you haven't been to Knott's, I suggest going, you won't be scared most likely, but the effects are neat (mostly) and you can tell there is a lot of time and effort put into making the park the way it is. Plus, if you like roller coasters, you'll love the one's at Knott's.
