gatoralex Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I am really not exactly sure what to expect with this zone, I think of the concept and the pictures I've seen and I just think of lame. I'm not passing that judgement now, I'm going to first rely on the expertise of our show directors before officially judging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taskmaster Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Looking forward to seeing how this works, this could easily be AMAZING or horrible, let's hope it's amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kiwisoup Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Nobody has mentioned anything about the markings on the ground in the house image. Do you think they will be somehow incorporated? I think it would be really disorienting if the walls of the maze were literally changing AS you were navigating through them, but there is the whole safety aspect to think about. I'm not really that concerned about moving parts, but there's always people out there that are going to find some way to hurt themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it is a reference to time distortion, black holes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZKeeper Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 JWFearman.....you rock for noticing that! I complete overlooked that. The black hole / time distortion would explain the shift in the pathway as you walk through it. Simply we can break it down. It's a maze not a open scare-zone, All Black Maze (very interesting), Changes while you walk through it (Perhaps they will only allow a certain amount of people through) and Not scared the same "Way" twice ( We already know the scare-actors will be able to shift sides) Does anybody think there will be anymore props added to the maze other than lights and structure?

darkdelusions Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I foresee this area turning into Hide and Shriek with the maze aspect thrown in. I have a feeling we will see people in all black costumes hiding in the darkness. aka Ninja's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkdelusions Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) What makes you foresee that, Andy? Due to the simple fact there is no real decor in this zone just black fences... Edited September 7, 2011 by darkdelusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goo Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 If we get just people dressed in black, I'll be pretty disappointing.. I want some type of ghoul or goblin character, witch a b/w skin tone or maybe some black light paint on them. We'll for sure see the ninjas, but if that's all I think the zone will be a flop. That just isn't enough for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hush Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 This should prove to be an interesting zone, but I'm with Goo on this one...there needs to be some type of b/w skin tone or the random character to throw you off while walking through it. I do foresee many scare-actors in this zone getting hit on a consistent basis each night because well, you know people won't expect to be scared in a completely blacked out scare zone, right?

ZKeeper Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Agree with the topic of it being more than blacked-out scare-actors. Though If this turns out to be a success. What are the odds of us seeing this concept as a house in the following years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the odds of us seeing this concept as a house in the following years? If this zone is a success, then I could definitely see it being worked into a full fledged house in the coming years. It sounds very promising and the idea of an entirely blacked-out house is very intriguing. To me, that which can't be seen is much, much more frightening than that which can.

Couldn't agree with you more, Hush! I've been dying for an all black house that uses sound and touch. I think taking away the ability to see is extremely scary.

Hush Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Fear Factor was suppose to be an all black maze in 2002, but it proved nearly impossible for guests to efficiently navigate, so they added lights. Pitch Black in 2001 was similar, but only lit up as scares occurred. I doubt Universal will attempt a full black maze again (though it would be awesome) because they don't work with the amount of people who go through a night. Pitch Black was done well, Fear Factor was probably one of my least favorite houses. Ever. It would be great if they offered a fully blacked out house as an additional in-park ticketed option, like Alone at HOS. That way it would still be doable by limiting the number of tickets sold each night and individuals who are in the house at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oysterhead00 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I didn't go to HHN until 2004, but WISH I was there for an all black house! My first year had Disentorium or whatever it was, and that was a mindf**k of a house. It was amazing, we got lost, and it really freaked us out a bit. I chalk that partially up to our first time ever going, but nothing has been like that since. I seemed to have started going a year before the event BLEW UP and the Conga Lines going through each house now pretty much make it impossible to have such a house.... ....unless they incorporate it into an Alone/Extreme house. Ha ha ha....let's not start that conversation here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallow Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 So, is construction completed for this zone? It... isn't looking good folks. Maybe five total move-able walls. Some "maze..." Knew it wasn't a good idea to get too excited about this... but who knows, they may still surprise us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallow Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 From everything I heard about this zone from rehearsals? Yeah... not looking too good... Wow, there were already rehearsals here? Since the moving walls are integral to the zone, I'd hazard that what you see is what you get, people. This isn't really a maze. I knew I got too much of a Cold Blind Terror vibe from this...

Goo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I still have a little bit of hope left that it might pull through. We still haven't seen what it looks like with the walls opened up, with fog, lights, or scaracters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connor.quaschnik Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I was at the park today and looked inside the posts and they all seem to have those industrial air blowers inside. Kind of like the ones used to inflate bounce houses. Do you think those are going to be used to inflate a covering for the zone (ie. Containment) or just to create wind inside the zone?
