    Most Anticipated Scarezone (HHN 26)

    I know you didn't ask me, but I'll respond anyways...

     

    I thought that having the stage that close really messed with the aesthetic of the whole area over there. Between the obscene amount of people crammed into that small area (especially at the beginning and ending of the show) and the need to put up railings near the entrance where the stage was, it just seemed like a mess to me. What the heck was the point of those railings anyways other than to get in the way?  Honestly, I avoided that scare zone most of the time last year because of how crowded it was. If their goal was to jam as many people possible into an area so filled with smoke that you can't see the person in front of you, they succeeded. Other than the smoke, I don't even remember what was supposed to be in that zone. 

     

    I may be in the minority, but I could care less about a 2nd show. Just watching Bill & Ted is fine with me. I'd much rather have them turn the area where the stage is into an add on to the scare zone where Evil's Roots was. If possible, even take it a step further and bring the scare zone all the way down to the water. The area where the park benches are is always deserted. Why not fill it with something?

     

    I completely get what you mean about the level of crowds as it did get very tight in there. I don't feel that this second show will draw any where near the crowd levels as the Carnage Returns show so I hope that will help Banshee. I do think that the light levels were handled reasonably well though. In terms of the thick fog, I actually like it from time to time and if used effectively it can freak people out and be great cover from the actors.

    1. Wharf (Sounds bad ass along with feeling like a lot of love and attention will be given to it)

    2. Survive or Die (Saws N Steam immediately comes to mind except instead of harvesting water it's now air.  Too bad no Sting Alley)

    3. Banshee (Always like the Central Park zone's atmosphere.  Though not too thrilled with the stage show being so close 2 years in a row)

    4. Chance (Though my infatuation with Chance runs deep, not sure what to make of this one yet)

    5. Vamp '55 (Not into the campy stuff.  Not sure why, but I just get a similar image of All Nite Die-In when thinking of this zone.  But with vampires from Grease)

     

    Did you feel that Evil's Roots was affected much by the show last year? I thought that they did a great job with the close proximity.

    They could bring back that thing you have to stoop to walk through (the last I remember it was TWD in 21 I think?). The one thing that could be a problem with a crawling area or similar is the fact it will have to be ADA, which they could of course have a separate pathway similar to The Forsaken in the tilted ship scene, but still I don't know how much room they have to do something like that and keep the claustrophobic feel. 

    I'm hoping that they bring back the extremely tight air bladder effects that you have to force yourself out of. Some people call it the birth canal. LOL. It certainly would give the claustrophobic feel that has been teased. Check it out!

    Never forget that "A butcher shop" and "World War II Nurses" turned out to be 2 of everybody's favorite houses ever.

     

    Sorry, not trying to be a know it all but Nightingales was based in WW1.

    The Repository (Upcharge/VR Experience)

    in Haunted Houses

    Posted

    See the thing people need to remember is that this comes from the Creative team (TJ and Rick among others) and they have been working on this for years. I have been fortunate to experience all of the testing that the fans were lucky enough to get a chance to be part of the last 3 years and let me tell you, it is a very neat blend of technology, story telling and traditional haunted house elements. This is in no way the "Extreme" house that people are calling it. That is a throw back to 2003 and keeps coming up from time to time in fan spectulation. This is an all new (to the masses anyway) experience for 2016. Expect live sets, a few scare actors and heavy use of technology. What I experienced the past few years, particularly last year, was pretty damn cool and in spots delivered an experience that you simply can not get via going through a traditional HHN maze. I expect it to be about 30-45 minutes and the VR portion about 15 minutes. I suspect that much of the content will be what I have already seen, but I am ok with that because I want to see the full product delivered from the team. I hope that it will be an all new experience that will surprise me, but whatever the content, I am glad to support this as I believe in the Creative team and know that with their success in this area gives makes it more likely we see more original content at HHN. Given that, I really hope that the team have this experience bug free and seamless. For the $50 upcharge it has to be glitch free and go off without a hitch. Show your support guys and gals. This is a project of love by the masters and for the fans. The fact that UO gave them a budget says a lot. I can't wait for my session I booked for September 30th at 5pm.
