Neko Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Wow. Those videos were amazing. Makes me much more excited for this scarezone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 visited the parks today and took some real time to explore this street and some of the finer details that you cant see in the photos are incredible! as to the 3D projection i will give it a high probability and a good chance of happening esp with the way the projectors have been set up for the correct coverage of the buildings for the effect! Surprisingly i found that some of the strollers and shopping carts had some military bags and equipment in them, as well as camo clothing.... just speculation tho!

Rossco999 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) here's another video of 3-d projection that my home park did this year. Good example of what can be done in an urban park with lots of light pollution. especially an awkward surface (they're projecting on a mountain...) particularly check out ~ 5:18 Edited September 3, 2011 by Rossco999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karras Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I still have my doubts about this zone. However... if those projectors are implemented somehow, my mind will explode. Thanks for posting those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhnlovr23 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Maybe they could do something with the fire hydrant like in apocolypse. And as to makeup.. They could put like eroded gashes on their body and burns and boils.. Torn clothing, bleeding, etc.. The zone will be good, if the visual effects are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hush Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The 3D video projections are amazing effects, if those are used in this area that alone could potentially make up for any lack of ambiance otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (Warning the pics I linked are actual acid victims) Well contaminate zombie and acid victims are two very different things. Your skin doesn't boil... it is eaten away along with muscle. So you get a lot of severe burns. There is melting and fusing going on as well. Which will tend to pul facial features taunt. Here is a case of a child with actual acid rain burns. This would be considered an extreme case in the real world. However in a world of constant severe acid rain you would have burns similar to an acid attack.

cwoolboy Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'm gonna be honest and tell you all that I had no interest in this scarezone..........until the videos of 3D projections were put on here. Wow is all I can say. Imagine the possibilities with technology like that. To say the least it's stunning. If they actually end up doing the projections I can't wait for this zone. I really had another containment in my head like some of you. Maybe they will use the masks but that really isn't a big deal to me. The atmosphere is what makes a scarezone to me and this one is looking good. I agree whole-heartedly! When I first read the descrition I practically screamed O NO, NOT ANOTHER CONTAINMENT!!!!! But now with the 3D projections rumor, my hopes have been heightened greatly for this zone. With it's use of the NY area they have GOT to do something cool with this zone. I think back to City of Cannibals. Not the best zone but the effects were awesome and made a leisuely walk thru the area worthwhile. For this zone to be worth it for me, It's GOT to have: A. a constant rain effect (cold or warm don't matter to me, but warm would make it slightly more believable to be acid....I'd prefer the rain to be kind of hot but not burning or anything) B. 3D Projections. I don't have much hope the scareactor costumes/prosthetics in the zone, but who knows, maybe Uni. will surprise me. This is one of those where Uni's got to GO BIG OR GO HOME (Grown Evil is another one of these zones). And that's all I have to say about that. Till then, wake me up when 3D projections are confirmed for this zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwoolboy Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 CONGRATS!!! HAVE FUN SCARING ME!!! I also took a look at the set/constrction pics for this zone. I now retract all my skepticisim for this zone. Pretty sure it will be amazing, and I love how they went all out with the theming. No way will this be another Containment, truly psyched now!!!

Troiandan Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 see everyone is like "i doubted acid rain now i dont" but basically NOTHING except grown evil (which will only be trees and wild life) and nghtmaze (which all you need is large strobe lights, fog and dark space) are the only scarezone that have things OUT. i mean yes my expectations have risen A LOT for acid rain, but i dont wanna said like a b***h but its the truth. i mean everyone can keep saying things just wait for the actual event. ok now that im reading this i am sounding more like a b****h. lol sorry just i'm a little annoyed of seeing EVERYSINGLE commene be my expectations have rosen. but if you want to keep saying things, do it. Just idk how to say this without making people mad, well if i offended you somehow i didnt mean too. lol Is that English? I don't mean to be mean or judgmental, but if you could spell check and make sure that what you write makes sense before posting, it would be greatly appreciated. My view on Acid Assault is the same. It seems like it will be very interesting in terms of design and set, but I feel like that may be more of the focus instead of the scares. Don't get me wrong, I live the intricate sets and atmosphere at HHN, and I am excited to see how it looks with the 3D projection and what not, but I am still a little unsure of it. Perhaps this is more suited for the Acid Assault discussion? This is from the Construction discussion. If I understand the first poster's concern, there are a number of people (me included), whose expectations have gone up for Acid Assault now that so much set dressing is out. I do believe that it is the actors that make a zone work; but even the most skilled artist and professional usually needs tools to maximize performance. I've long thought that, of all the things Universal excels at, their biggest strength is their sets. When they gave Containment a plastic green bubble and fog machines that seldom worked, that didn't give the actors much to work with, and didn't create the ambiance I normally associate with Uni. That's where much of my disappointment came from. When I see what they have done so far this year in terms of the details of the set, it raises my expectations significantly for a SZ that I at first thought sounded like a standard post-disaster apocalypse scenario. The SA's have a terrific canvas to work on/in, and that makes me more excited. The possibility/probability of the 3D projection also has greatly piqued my interest. But, I also agree that it is a wait and see scenario. Not just this zone, but all zones and houses. I don't think there is anything this year that I feel "meh" about. Last year, when I first heard of Catacombs and Havoc, I was meh about them. I was seriously and happily WRONG! I'm enjoying the anticipation as part of the event, and really looking forward to discovering what else will exceed my expectations this year.

JDW Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Not really ground breaking but This is from FB Even the streets of HHN 21 will be crawling with evil…deformed mutants in Acid Assault, unwelcoming creatures that dwell within the Canyon of Dark Souls …which scarezone will have you running for safety first?

LuckyCat Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 dont they have that water cannon thing that they used outside the spawning? what if they use that for the rain and have it go off every minute or so. I remember it being somewhat loud too so it could add an extra startle effect to the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jimmy Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I like the evil little mutant rats that are popping up in the street construction. I fully expect them to have their own FB fan pages soon, they will likely be this year's version of Ryan and Kevin the birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalifasFinest Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 only difference is freddy kreuger was burned to death yeah, the skin does look similar though, Im hoping the scare actors will look burned or bloody since the theme is acid rain, we will find out though soon.
