"NEW MOON" CORN MAZE! I MUST go there!

I. Love. This!  It's Children of the (New Moon) Corn!!!  I would so travel from New Jersey just to see the finished product.

SYRACUSE — The second "Twilight" movie is arriving early in northern Utah, sort of.

 
*Photo at right is NOT the New Moon maze but I found it on this website. Pretty cool with the wolf, if I do say so, myself.

Utah's largest corn maze is themed this year to "New Moon," the sequel in the popular Twilight saga.

Although the new movie doesn't arrive in theaters until Nov. 20, this 24-acre corn maze opens Sept. 24 and continues through Oct. 31.

Located at Black Island Farms, 3178 S. 3000 West, aerial photos show that two separate maze patterns have already been cut into the corn — a "Team Jacob" and a "Team Edward." (In the movie, Bella can choose Edward or Jacob as her lover.)

The lettering "New moon 11-20-09" is also a part of the maze.

A side design in the corn depicts a KUTV reporter or anchorman holding a microphone.

GPS technology is used to cut the intricate patterns into the corn.

The idea of a corn maze is to enter and then eventually conquer the labyrinths by finding the lone exit. Getting "lost" is part of the fun.

Black Island is a working vegetable farm, with about 400 acres in cultivation, growing carrots, onions, cabbage, corn, pumpkins, squash and gourds.

Each Fall, the farm hosts a Harvest Festival and Cornfield Maze — Utah agri-tourism at its best, with hayrides, bonfires, and a haunted maze. The farm also offers a tour for school children and has a farmers market.

Last year's corn maze featured a Ronald McDonald House theme.
