DTH316 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 That trailer is so epic. I think I might be hitting this first before running down to the lower lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoo Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) i never played silent hill but by the look of the sets in the video game it looks pretty damn scary. Edited July 14, 2012 by Leoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Silent Hill is official and I'm just as excited as all of you are. If we could keep the Silent Hill discussion in the "Welcome to Silent Hill" thread, that would be great. Any posts related to SH will be moved to that thread. Thanks guys! So no Walking Dead announcement yet. They probably did not want it to conflict with SH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESKER69 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 So no Walking Dead announcement yet. They probably did not want it to conflict with SH. The rumor is... UNI is having issues with obtaining the rights to use the characters. Which is why there hasn't been an official confirmation yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauntfan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^So if they don't obtain the rights, will it just be a generic zombie maze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGmoney1996 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 A generic zombie maze with multiple references to Walking Dead scenes... which I'm guessing is what the maze would be anyway... I guess it's possible that a Rick lookalike can jump out at you with a gun or something, but I have a feeling they'd only use zombies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESKER69 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 At HHN Orlando's event in 2007.... they only had the rights to Freddy, Jason, Leatherface... not the other characters. However the other characters did show up in the house. Specifically, TCM was a major one since it had leatherface's family & Jessica Biel's character.... so a walking dead house could easily just have the name & call it a day. Eitherway, it will be a generic zombie house with a brand name & familiar scenes to those who have watched the tv series/read the comic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauntfan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^Yeah that's true. Unless somebody stops Universal from using the characters when they try to. There's probably a loophole though that the characters are similar to the shows and not exact replications of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^ Not to mention HHN Orlando has had multiple occasions where a maze was inspired by a movie. (05's Demon Cantina was inspired by "From Dusk Til' Dawn", 08's Intersteller Terror was inspired by "Event Horizon".) I also recall that when they had the first All Night DrIvE In house in 03', they didn't have the rights for the characters as well, so Freddy, Jason, Leatherface had to be mentioned as Nightmare Man, Chainsaw dude etc. Though most recently (and more fitting for this situation) for 09's Silver Screams house, while they didn't have the rights for Evil Dead/Army of Darkness...they sure did have a Army of Darkness room in the house. (I believe they called it "Midevil Dead" or something like that.) Either way, even if the rights for TWD fall through, the maze will certainly be chock full of TWD references, it just won't be called that.

HHNZone Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 So it hasnt been officially announced because of issues to obtaining rights to characters, not because maybe Universal wants to just spread out their maze announcements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoo Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 so walking dead maze aint happening ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGmoney1996 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 No, it most likely is. There are just unconfirmed rumors that Uni hasn't gotten full rights. We would still have the maze, just with lookalike characters and scenes, just enough so that it's legal. I only heard the rumor on this forum, so if someone can send me a link to the rumor that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoo Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks for the heads up ^ , i would like to see the link that says that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESKER69 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 The only reason we know HHN Orlando has a Walking Dead house is due to construction (rv & barn) & two house scene names (scene 1 - hospital hallway, scene 4- rooftop). It just needs the confirmation. However since construction on the other houses for HHN Hollywood has begun (or will begin... too lazy to check what Murdy said), so if you happen to see a Barn or an RV show up at one of the house locations, that should be a good sign for the house.

Freak Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Now that Dante is still on the table even after the Silent Hill announcement, it still leaves it open for an original Murdy creation. Since he loves Alice Cooper and WTMN was so popular last year, I think he will want to try a new theme with AC for this year. Let's remember that the title of the maze has the letter "D" in it. Let's see what potential albums Cooper could theme a maze on... -DragonTown -Dirty Diamonds -Prince of Darkness -Theater of Death (One of his live albums?) Judging by the images MUrdy looked up like Las Vegas Buffet, Lost Franklin Expedition, it sounds like DragonTown could be a possibility. Theater of Death could be a broad enough theme to include those. We'll just have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, even if the rights for TWD fall through, the maze will certainly be chock full of TWD references, it just won't be called that. Exactly the point I was making. Although I do hope we get TWD maze. But then again, we would have an "original" maze! My guess is their back up plan is to have it called Zombieville to be another sequel to the Scarezone similar to how La Llorona was done. I'm probably off, but that's close to what they probably will have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGmoney1996 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Guys, we still are not sure if they ARE having trouble with rights. They may just be saving the announcement so we don't have two in one day... We still don't have an article saying the rights are the issue...

Hauntfan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^I know. Don't get too worked up. The point of speculation is to observe all possibilities and rumors that come our way. This happens to be one of them. Now that Dante is still on the table even after the Silent Hill announcement, it still leaves it open for an original Murdy creation.

JGmoney1996 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 So I wonder what could be at T2... ^I know. Don't get too worked up.

Hauntfan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 So apparently, Silent Hill is actually down at the Lower Lot behind the Mummy Had a feeling that would happen. My reasoning is that the video game seemed claustrophobic perfect for the Mummy Queue. So I wonder what could be at T2... I know that, just want to know where that rumor originally surfaced. I do too. I don't know where the rumor came from but lately rumors are more than that. Just speculating the possibilities. Sorry if I sounded like a smart-ass prick in my last post. I reread it and realized the tone could have sounded a bit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 kinda wierd we figured out silent hill based off the wrong code name we must have the gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 This year is weird... we guessed the right maze for the wrong codename... in help of the T2 queue pix when really its another location entirely. WTF? Oh well, at least we were right lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 I was hoping Murdy was working with John Carpenter to make an original creation. Oh well. It sounds like Walking Dead is going to go in the Terminator venue. It better go there since Orlando is having theirs in the Disaster queue. The sets do look like they could be a tad WD-ish. But that is probably the biggest "WTC!" we have ever has in speculation, ever. Guessing the right maze from what we've seen in the wrong wrong venue for the wrong code name.
