deliciousoatmeal Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Seems like only 3 zones? No French street then? Only thing I can think of is if whatever zone is on French street is related to Blumhouse somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bggrenville813 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I really hope these aren't going to be the only ones this year. It's just the same as last year (placement wise, not content) except for the gauntlet being moved. Murdy did say during Q&A a while back that scare zones were coming back so fingers crossed he just couldn't tell us about all of them yet. Man I really miss having scare zones down every street. Especially when they had good ones down on the lower lot. Wasn't the last one they had down there Skullz? And even that one was lagging....two dudes walking around on stilts in that crowd didn't really accomplish much. That being said, these new themes look awesome and I can't wait to see the entrance zone!!! I mean how can you hate a Halloween Horror Nights terrifying classic Halloween scare zone! Complete with pumpkins and witches and ghosts - oh my! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrorNightsFan13 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm pretty sure these are all of the scarezones we're getting Entrance Zone Tunnel Zone Metro Sets Gauntlet and all of that makes sense to me atleast. No zones down French Street or Baker Street is what it's sounding like. Baker Street will be the extended Queue for The Walking Dead Attraction like it was last year French Street, I have my own theory for. So despicable me is not open for the event, and that means that it won't be a guest accessible area. That means we won't freely be able to walk down Baker Street or French Street. What I'm thinking is that the Blumhouse Mashup is gonna end out on french street with a gauntlet style purge zone. Makes sense to me Lower Lot hasn't had a zone since 2014 and for good reason. That area is such a cluster that there's no room for actors to move as freely as they used to. The lower lot has become the center hub of the event since it is the middle point of the upper lot and the backlot. And I don't think we'll be seeing the return of the lower lot zone anytime soon, especially since those zones were lame anyways. Two stilt walkers? Yawn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think we'll be having Route 666 again instead of a tram that goes from where Shinning will be down to the back lot, like in 2015? Also, you think there'll be a gauntlet style scare zone down by where the Metro Set Purge zone was last year? Same size, or like the one upstrais that led to TWD?

If you didn't hear the news, John announced the scarezones yesterday. No official names just the themes and locations. We will be walking to the backlot again. The layout of the metro sets zone is going to be changed up according to John, he described it as a style similar to the gauntlet of fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John never said yesterday that there are more zones than that yesterday. So it is safe to assume that those are the zones. And it makes sense to me. Where would the other two zones go? Baker Street and French Street? Not likely. Baker Street was closed last year for the extended Queue for TWD and it's safe to assume it will be again. And as I've said many a time, my theory is that French Street will have a scarezone gauntlet style finale for Blumhouse of Horrors themed to The Purge. Just kinda makes sense to me. Plus, Despicable Me is confirmed to be closed during the event. Why would that ride be closed for a second year in a row? Last year the ride was closed because no guest accessible areas went to that area of the park, Baker Street was closed for TWD and French Street was closed for the gauntlet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbp Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 There are 2 simple explanations to why there are only 3 scare zones announced: 1. They only have 3 Scare Zones announced 2. They only announced the Scare Zones that are original concepts and are not related to IPs/Franchises because this could spoil their maze lineup, which is all IPs/Franchises. I'm going to guess it's the second one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said "these are a few of the designs of some of our scarezones for this year". If if these were the only scarezones he would've said "these are some of the designs for this years scarezones". im sure we're definitely getting an exit purge portion. TWD, I doubt will have an extra long line since we are having an extra maze this year (Parisian) compared to last year where TWD was the only one in that area.

dereksdominance Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I also took John's words as a preview of a FEW scarezones. It did not feel like a definitive list and I think there might be an additional scarezone or two that he is saving as surprises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrorNightsFan13 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 When he said these are a few of the designs from our scarezones this year, my interpretation was that he meant here's a few of the characters you'll see in our zones. He didn't show us every single design from all of the zones, so he just said that we get to see a few of the designs tell me where else they would put scarezones? Don't expect them in Simpsons or on the lower lot at this point. So the only other option would be Baker Street but why would they have a scarezone down that way? You don't have to go down to get to anything this year. Despicable Me is closed so they wouldn't want guests going back there anyways. I'm telling you guys that these are our only zones. There's nowhere else to put another 2 scarezones like you guys are talking about. If you look at last years scarezone placement on the map, it showed 4 scarezones. 1 being the entrance, 2 being the gauntlet, 3 being the tunnel, and 4 being the metro sets. Take away the gauntlet since we'll have a maze there, and we're left with the same 3 zone areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bggrenville813 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 It's possible we could have another scare zone on the lower lot. I know it does get really crowded there like you said and the performers don't have as much room to move around, but last year we only had 1 maze (2 including TWD) on the upper lot and this year we will have an additional maze in the Parisian Courtyard, so maybe that will even out the crowd situation on the lower lot a bit. I totally see your point and you're most likely right, we probably will only have 3 scare zones! But I also see where everyone else is coming from too. I personally miss having a zone down by JP and the Mummy (even though it did kind of suck in 2014 with the two stilt walkers), it just changes the whole vibe of the lower lot. It just kind of loses that Horror Nights feel when you take that long walk from the end of the entrance scare zone and down the Scareway and there's nothing there to scare you when you finally reach the bottom. Thats always when I lose my adrenaline rush and get tired, but when you know there are scare actors waiting for you at the end of the escalators, it keeps you on your toes and pumps up your energy a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorrorNightsFan13 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Website is up. Scarezones are named. And there's only 3 urban inferno (hell on metro sets) hell-o-ween (traditional Halloween in entrance) toxic tunnel (self explanatory) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Looks like they were able to trademark regular names, so no need to create a name with "Z". Also, I have no idea why anyone is even suggesting there's two IP zones, especially when Murdy tweeted this... Add in the rumors of Blumhouse utilizing French Street, and Baker Street being used for TWDA, the idea of two IP zones this year does not hold up.

Though it is kinda weird not seeing them. I subconsciously mizz them. The website only lists those three zones anyways. Lists nothing more, no coming soon slots. Just those 3. While I haven't heard any official rumors of Blumhouse using French Street, I just kind of had a crazy idea that that might happen and as we got more info on scarezones the more I think it'll actually happen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bggrenville813 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Anyone catch those tweets just now?

Also pretty sure that if we have something on French Street as the finale for Blumhouse it won't be listed as an official scarezone since it'll just be a part of the maze and only a one way scarezone unlike hell o ween which can be walked through freely I think what's a bit more likely is that John is putting together the presentation similarly to MSS where the twitter questions are the transitions to the new topics and maybe they just want to give a quick mention of the names for the people who haven't seen them on the website since the scarezone page didn't work on mobile for the first few days Edited August 5, 2017 by HorrorNightsFan13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrorNightsFan13 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Don't mean to be that guy and double post... buuuuut. Called it. 3 scarezones and John was just using the question to transition into talking about the zones at the panel more. If there was a fourth one it would be listed on the website as "coming soon". I'm sure you can still expect something on French Street as a gauntlet style finale for Blumhouse, themed to the purge is most likely since the purge worked best in that environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
