Evil's Roots was most certainly effected by having a show there. I was in the zone and when the show let out we were told to stay at the sides as the crowds made it impossible to work the whole street. I don't, however, feel that the actual stage or the audio was too distracting to the zone as I could always hear the audio that was playing throughout the zone.

Sting alley is not being used this year. They are on the Mummy/Park area of NY.

I wanted to just put this out there.... Although they aren't listed anywhere, there are two/three groups (Clowns, Inmates & Traditionals) of chainsaws in the park. I realize that most people don't have a reason to walk by Transformers to see the Inmates or Traditionals, but I think they are worth a walk by just to experience the interaction. I have heard some amazing one-liners and crazy tactics from the female prisoners as well as with the Traditionals. In the course of the night you should make your way by Transformers as well as Animal Actors to visit these "non-zones".

They stretch from Mel's all the way to the statue by Starbucks.

It's funny watching people try to take photos in the zone with all the fog billowing around. It's great for the SA's, but bad for amateur photographers and the selfie generation. Speaking of fog, they have added more fog into this zone as of last weekend.

The two zones that you mentioned were in the same area.....an area that allows for a more intimate, immersive setting. Unfortunately, it will probably not be used in the near future. With NY, it is hard to get a truly immersive with the vastness of the area. Even when they only use a portion (not Sting Alley or the side streets) of the area, it still feels massive and "uninhabited" by SA's. Unless they can somehow bring in the zone, it will continue to feel vast and have "too much dead space". I think that "The Fall of Atlanta" (2 yrs ago) did a good job to immerse you with the barricades, the helicopter lights/sounds, the victims and the walkers. I think they did a good job of utilizing that area.

The prisoners have about 10 girls on the cast. You don't always see them all there because 1st set half of them are at the front gate area. Less than half of them (3 I think), were prisoners during the roaming hoards.

I feel there are too many SA's who want tons of photos of themselves so they pose for every photo that comes their way. That's all well & good, but that makes those who are there to scare and don't stop/pause for a photo seem like asses. They weren't hired to be a photo-op (I know some are) so why should they be expected to be?

The street opens at 6 and they do 45 minute sets. Also, Scareactors aren't required to have their photos taken and guests need to respect their wishes if that is the case. I am in another zone and we are told that if you are taking pictures, you need to get to one side of the zone so a line doesn't form in the middle, blocking the walkway. Inevitably, if you take a picture with one - more will take the opportunity to get one with you.

Thank you!

I just noticed that you are missing a street from your list. Please add the San Fransisco street as a Scare Zone. I realize it isn't on the website or site map, but there is a scare zone there. I don't know what you would call it, but it is a legitimate zone. Thanks!!!

Yes, there is a bride, but the rest of the costumes are all recycled and random. There was a 50's flight attendant type of dress, a pants and hoodie girl, and others in different types of clothing.

The new Zombie SZ goes out after 7, but I don't know their first set time. As far as I have heard they mostly stay in the MiB area. They may move around to other areas, but I haven't heard which.

You all must have impeccable timing..... Contrary to popular belief, that room has no guest-activated triggers or buttons.

Memories.....

I agree!!

I haven't seen any clowns in any of the houses.

That is the way it has been so far. I agree they need to expedite the wait time tests.
