Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

[RedRightDan]

last year some six lags parks (I think) bowed to pressure to get rid of an asylum house because it might be offensive to mental patients, I mean come on ...

I believe that was Knott's Scary Farm

Could be, if memory serves me right though there was something similar in six flags. I also think it was something about the use of 5150, and that it was disrespectful to people who are involuntarily held. Anyway, I have no problem with being sensible, but sometimes things get taken a little too far.

Yes it happened at a lot of events. Here at Six Flags New England we were supposed to get a new name called Insane Asylum or something to that extent and they changed it to like the Haunted laboratory

So it's been pretty quiet for the Scare zones huh? Pretty quiet. I decided I'm gonna spice up the speculation with some Codenames for the Scare Zones I have heard for HHN27 from my Source.

Spoiler: Original Details

I have heard the Scarecrow Dust Bowl Maze is completed and will have live corn as apart of the facade and left over props from TCM. The Crossover between Gothic and Catacombs will be very much it's own thing. And Bayou of Blood and it will follow in the vains of Ghost Town last year in terms of Set Design.

Yay! More speculation opening up!

If that's true about Bayou, I'd love to see a section set in a big open section of The French Quarter. Kind of like the canon scene from GT last year.

Subtlety is not your strong suit, huh?

Can't even do people the curtesy of a spoiler tag for facade designs.

Heard that TMs are no longer allowed to bring guests with them to preview day. Now they are given a comp pass for use on one of seven days.

Which is better for everyone involved. A true technical rehearsal night doesn't get swamped with bloggers who bought tickets on the black market and review the even too early. TMs who want to bring a family member can do it on a night when they might actually see more than 2 houses. A smaller, manageable crowd to work out the kinks.

I agree I think this is a good move. A large majority of guests who are usually attending preview night are attending it as their only night because they could get in free through a friend. While I've always really appreciated being able to go as a guest and see this as a preview I see how so many people use this as their only impression of HHN and it can really interfere with word of mouth.

If I'm reading into your spoiler tagged comment correctly, that could be really cool. As long as the house doesn't run out of steam halfway through this could be really neat.

Quick question on Maniac's SZ code names...

Have you heard that any are IPs this year, or are they all originals?

One is a IP. The Rest are Originals.

That doesn't mean that it is still not happening or is happening. For Orlando I have heard of the replacement. But I guess Hollywood from what I have heard is still moving with it.

By the way - house locations.

Originals share a soundstage and are in a Sprung, where the space is needed.
