Grimp0nd Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ive never considered the walkers to be part of the Legion but something else entirely. It was pretty much worked out on spec weeks ago that not all the scarezones will be tied to the Legions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV-426 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 it still worries me they were taken out, I know they might still be there, but why would they take them out? and not replace them or anything ( I mean the name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestionMark Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thing is, I feel like they would at least still advertise it on the site even if it wasn't one of the legions. Especially since the main marketing pull this year is The Walking Dead/zombies. There would at least be SOME mention of a zombie zone on the site.

Feeble Junkie Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) ^ Your Username is the one I tried to get, before I chose this one... (Sorry OT) I think it will be like TCM in 07... I believe more walkers will be right outside the exit; As the CDT was that year... Doesnt need to be listed. as it will be more like an extension of the house.

There would at least be SOME mention of a zombie zone on the site. exactly, with the Walking Dead being the biggest thing they are using for advertising, WHY would they not only Pull the legion from the site, but not replace it or make any other announcement, I know everyone says they have not cancel it yet, but I am not 100% entirely calm about it, there is something fishy going on, if for some reason, They could not have Walkers in the streets, I really do hope they would bring a replacement for the roaming zone, that's the whole point of the zones being different this year, I still wish they gave us Klowns with Chainsaws, but anything will be better than no zombies, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would utilize them in some capacity in the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foREVer56 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I hope this is still one of the dark legions/scarezones. I'm confused as to why they took it off the site. i think maybe they weren't allowed to call them walkers outside the house, so they can't call them that but just zombies. But to change it wouldn't take almost a week...so other than that, im lost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystiquephreeq Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 But to change it wouldn't take almost a week... I'm not so sure about that. The website this year is extremely glitchy. I'm convinced there was some kind of huge problem the night of the reveal, and that's why we got the FB reveal. I wouldn't be surprised if it is website issues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestionMark Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 If the issue was the website, then the Walkers legion would've appeared on the annual pass holders pamphlet we got in the mail a couple days ago. There was no mention of a Walkers/zombies zone whatsoever. So I'm guessing they ran into some problems with AMC over the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hush Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Even if we don't wind up getting zombies as one of the legions, I'm happy...we get a whole house full of 'em with The Walking Dead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuestionMark Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 No mention at all of the Walkers horde on the official map they just released. Looks like it has been scrapped from the event. Which sucks, cus I was looking forward to this legion the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV-426 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) This thread should be closed, if it really was closed, Didn't Universal Learned anything from 2007? I mean, if they didn't delete it, why not mention it in the map? I still have, or had a little little bit of hope that maybe the zombie horde is a surprise they have, but they would advertise it, if it got deleted, this is pretty pathetic. What about the cast that people were talking about? I remember Wesker saying how there is still a cast for the Horde, where is that going to go?

They had the zone on the site then immediately took it away. They didn't leave it on the site for weeks on end then say, "whoops, just kidding we wont have them." If you did look at the site the first day you would of had no clue about the Walker zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to sound like I am arguing, I am pissed at Uni, I am just saying what I feel, this is pretty shitty to do, from the speculation, and seeing how we were losing a house, we all thought we were getting 8 zones, then it went down to 7 Edited September 12, 2012 by Mr. Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuestionMark Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I agree with everything Mr. Black is saying. It's just irresponsible of them. They already cut us down a house, now they cut us down a scarezone as well? And one that many people were looking forward to. It just feels like they ran into issues over using the name "Walkers" and were just like "Screw it, let's just scrap the zone entirely." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they already had it, and already cast for it, they would have just changed the name. I assume that it going up on the site was a mistake.

boogeyman13 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 If it means that the other hordes get bigger, I'm all for it. Because of the nature of the event, they wouldn't be able to act like zombies anyway. Hard to do startle scares if you can only moan and shamble about. So not a big deal at all to me.

I was wondering the same thing about what kind of scares they would get...since most of us can walk faster than a zombie shuffles, it wouldn't be very scary. Or challenging. that is the only thing I am hoping for, I hope those actors go somewhere else zone wise, but, can they do that? will they do that? I don't know, we have not heard anything about that happening from anybody If they hired people for this zone and for one reason or another changed it up, those people will just be utilized in a different area...hiring them was already part of the budget for the event.

It just feels like they ran into issues over using the name "Walkers" and were just like "Screw it, let's just scrap the zone entirely." They haven't cut us down a zone. Last year, 6 named zones. This year 5 named Legions and The Iniquitus. So 6. The Walkers were never fully "revealed". We got a name with no description, that wasn't on the site for long. What is being lamented is a possibility based on spec and incomplete data. We've heard there are going to be scareactors at the front of the park. Some who have said they don't appear to be apart of the Vampires or Rat Lady escorts. This could make a 7th area. Also considering the theme mentioned on the survey and the Walkers shown in the commercial, maybe everyone is jumping the gun a little. Maybe Universal couldn't list the Walkers as one of their legions because of AMC. That doesn't mean zombies won't be in the streets. The street experience is described in terms of the legions on the map. The map also doesn't mention the Rat Lady or her escorts. Until it is confirmed through someone saying they are no longer cast as a "walker" or a "walker" is not seen at the event, I think the best bet is to wait and see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
