Fallow Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Ohhh, the cargo net got me thinking. A ship of sorts. Variation of Ship of Screams, or the SS Frightanic. Maybe something to do with undead pirates, maybe just another haunted ship. Mmm, if I'm at all close, I could totally see that working. Not just the cargo net, which was awesome. The claustrophobic nature of Jaws is perfect for the underbelly of a ship. EDIT: You also allude to it in this post. Very smart thinking, Legacy.

Legacy Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'm not positive... just putting some pieces of what I've heard up against what we're seeing to figure out what matches up. The cargo net and the water do go together perfectly... And fire wouldn't be too out of place with the theme I'm thinking. I can be completely confident in saying that Catacombs will not be in Jaws.

Keosilver Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm not sure how Jaws works, but do they use the que line and the exit for the house? What if they reverse the boats and you first ride on the ferry to somewhere and then have the house at the end? Kind of like a pre-show to the house. IDK But this probably should be in speculation, but it was relevant to the conversation here atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeoneout Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) I'm still not 100% on my theory. I think the location is too perfect, and it would allow the return of one scare from last year in that area and some other effects from the past... but I'm still not sure.

So the Jaws queue would lend itself to a "Scare" from last year but would not be catacombs. A theme from last year that could incorporate water, fire, etc would be Saws and Steam but I'm not sure how well it would translate into a house.

Don't over think that. Jaws won't be Catacombs, and I have no reason to believe it's a returning theme at all. If what I suspect is right, it would be a variation on something we have seen a couple of times in the past (but not recent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK But this probably should be in speculation, but it was relevant to the conversation here atm. While they've done that in 2000 with the guests getting off the train at the end of Earthquake and continuing into a Hell-themed house (making it appear that you died in the earthquake and were sent to Hell), the sheer size of the crowds we have compared to 11 years ago makes this a logistical impossibility. The boats would never be able to run fast enough to prevent the lines from becoming ridiculous; think about how long the line for a house like the Orfanage or Saw got with just a conga line through the house, then increase it by the time spent waiting for the next boat to show up.

Guest Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Cleaned up the thread. Please keep discussion only pertaining to actual construction, as we have the speculation and wishful thinking topics for other conversations. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goo Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Has much changed in the parks lately? Maybe the Sprung Tent facades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 When do you guys think we will begin to see the prop trucks rollin in with the decorations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Went there yesterday, there were many Penske trucks around the sound stages and the tents. Not sure if it was for props, but they were blocking the view of absolutely everything. Though there does look like the facade has started in the disaster que.

Hailey_BO_Bailey Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I only saw them in front of the sprung tents yesterday and it looked like the only thing in the trucks was just lots and lots of lumber, and a random dark purple box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 so they are still putting on the skeleton...pretty soon like in a few weeks we will begin to see props because from photos it looks like constructions moving fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karras Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Since house construction started early I'm sure we'll see street props appearing sooner than expected. Hasn't street construction started pre-Rock the Universe the past year or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't street construction started pre-Rock the Universe the past year or two? It surely did last year; I remember discussion that many of the props in 20 Years of Fear had to be covered up for the Rock the Universe event.

Mango Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 So I got some info from a friend who has been working inside the houses. Apparently the houses are already about 90% finished. "Most of the set dressings are in place. Some hand props are placed but they're still working on the final touches. After the technicians are done messing up the place they will probably get everything finally put together." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think all of the houses are that far along, just some of them. Because when you walk by Disaster you dont see that much completed, so Im assuming its the more covered houses that are further along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruinsFan Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I would assume the Sound Stages, Tents and Parade building are the the furthest along in terms of construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I would assume the Sound Stages, Tents and Parade building are the the furthest along in terms of construction. Sine they are more closed and the public cant see them they probably work at a faster pace as opposed to the others that they know people are always passing by and taking pictures..

Cody Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Also, the sound stages and parade building are usually the big budget houses. They'll need to work faster and/or earlier to get them done in time for auditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll need to work faster and/or earlier to get them done in time for auditions. Also them being the most expensive they get it done quickly in order to prevent the piling up of costs that they would cost and be able to put it into other houses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
