cwoolboy Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Check out the description for the HOS house called Trapped In The Walls: Ghostchasers. "The grusome fate of an innocent family made headlines when their bodies were discovered years ago. Today, you'll join a paranormal research team as they attempt to reveal the house's horrible history by invesigating the dark demons trapped by the lingering evil that has seeped into the walls." Is it just me or does this description sound oddly similar to the description of LT: Wyandot Estate??? Both focus on a paranormal research team investigating a haunted house where terrible things were done. Even the names of the teams are similar. HOS's Ghostchasers and HHN's Spirit Seekers. So, is it just me or has HOS borrowd inspiration from Uni??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsquare Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Trapped in the Walls has been there forever, this is nothing but an overlay. Also you must remember that a key member of the HHN team is now working for HOS. How do you know the house wasn't his idea to start with? HHN borrows ideas from HOS all the time, and vice versa. It's the way the business works. And hey, YOU try coming up with an original idea for 7-8 haunted mazes every year and see if you don't start cribbing ideas after awhile.

Jakemeister Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 As far as I'm concerned they stole their name from ScreamChasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertBear Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Well, the Blackstone Group does have majority ownership of Universal Studios and did buy SeaWorld and Busch Gardens from the Anheuser-Busch Inbev Corporation during October of last year. So similarities between both HoS and HHN was going to happen. Edited September 13, 2010 by DesertBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Bled Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) That sums it up nicely. Bare to mind that Regardless, Blackstone has stakes in both HOS and HHN related parks, thus leading to a bit of re-hash. I'm sure both are still fun to attend whether across town or a 30 minute drive (Or where ever you're driving from).

Spook Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Let's Be honest there are only so Many Haunt Ideas out there.. And the more years you do Events them more ideas you see.

Jakemeister Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) LT>GhostChasers ScreamChasers>GhostChasers and for all of you who have never been to Howl-O-Scream which is probably about 40% of the people in this thread don't judge it till you go. I vastly enjoyed my experience at HOS last year. Just as much as I enjoyed my time at HHN. Edited September 18, 2010 by Jakemeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armyofrobots Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 it happens... hell, Busch Gardens in Williamsburg has a house called CATACOMBS. Read the description on that one: "Through a ruined cemetery filled with statues lies a tunnel that leads to an underground city. Its history is more terrifying than that of France’s worst revolutions. Deep within these tunnels lie mile after mile of bones—the final resting place for those who are buried here. But all is not as quiet as it appears. As guests venture forth into the dank, dripping corridors of rat infested remains, the voices of the dead begin to speak, and some have taken shape." they may have the same feel, or same everything, but I'm sure you would walk out of both knowing that there was no ripping off intended.

Mae Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 As far as I'm concerned they stole their name from ScreamChasers. It reminded me of "Ghostfacers" from Supernatural. Inspiration comes from many places. Mae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
