It looks like we could be seeing Jack make a come back soon!!! * He can be seen in the Cabin in the Woods house (in the elevator room) * They are selling Jack vinylmations & pins

So I'm taking it that Board To Death lives up to its name?!

To those who've gone to Haunt, how were new the mazes, show & scare zone for this year?! Also were there any changes to the classic shows, mazes & scare zones?

Maybe rename AZ to Thrill Zone, CM w/ the Coney Island theming, RT the same & something more popular than Snoopy for the Kids area (Cartoon network, PBS Kids or bring back Nickelodeon?!)

Since I probably can't make it out to Haunt this year, keep me posted on all that goes on (especially with the new stuff)

Does anyone know where I can get the new mazes logos?! I'm currently working on wallpaper for my computer for Haunt (I'll post it on here once it's finished)

The link is a video of a stage with theatrical rigging set up in front of the Banshee construction fence. Maybe the stage for blood drums?!

Can't wait for Psycho Circus! Ed has said on his social media pages that its all new & he can't wait! (This maybe the best show Haunt @ KI has ever had!) not to mention the interesting new houses & scare zone, I think this will be the best Haunt since Fear Fest!

REALLY lost me at fantasy

I agree with you on the need to go back to an all-original event; some of their best years feature wildly unique houses and scare zones that all tie together into one cohesive theme/setting. That being said, the Creative Team is at the mercy of the higher-ups and the Marketing Division, and they have the final say on what shows up at an HHN. So when they look back on years when attendance soared because they had houses based on popular horror movie franchises ('07's deal with New Line Cinema for Freddy, Jason, and Leatherface), you know they want to replicate that almost immediately. Case in point, Walking Dead. Much like Bill & Ted's Halloween Adventure being a staple of Horror Nights, I see The Walking Dead remaining a major player for HHN for as long as the show remains on TV. As for everything else, it all depends on what horror movies debut next year and are well-received enough to warrant a house treatment. True & good point!

After seeing the commercial (the same thing as HHN Hollywood back in 2010 & 2011) I'm REALLY disappointed with these past 2 years (mostly this year). Very unoriginal & weak, it needs to go back to being an ALL ORIGINAL event :-/ I'm just guessing that they did this whole woods thing just to use that commercial & the unoriginal IPs, very very sad

Well obviously, what I meant was areas like behind Banshee & AE that is currently vacant put something there. But not in the area behind The Beast & Crypt.

And also KI has so much property there's always room for more! So change is a 25% chance.

Again change is good! Look at SOB, we now have Banshee as a result of change. Plus I wouldn't do it all at once, I would obviously do it all over time along with breaks here & there. But I would never do any "dramatic" changes to the park, it's fine the way it is. But there are things that just need to retire after some point in time.

With taking out those attractions there could always be a better version of it (like for FD maybe retheme & rebuild it (in length) to be The Bat , then with BSC make it longer in a new location with some rethemeing) but if I were to do any changes I could probably send out a poll either on here, the official site, or through the email send out to see what could be done. But when it comes to changes there's always benefits!

Remove: Vortex, flight deck, Invertigo, congo falls, whitewater, games, stunt coaster, Adventure Express. With the empty space put either a flat ride or some kind of coaster. Also add more cars to FOF (if at all possible). Then possibly a new area of the park devoted to Cincy with rides (ex. The Bangle), restaurants (maybe one with all cincy foods like skyline, Larosas, greaters) then stores themed to all things Cincinnati.

Get rid of DA, retheme the kids area to something kids today watch & know about, coasters (a lot of them), bring back Winterfest, make Haunt bigger & better, get rid of 4D theater to expand the park & so much more!

I could actually see a new area if the park connecting AZ & XB with some rides, games, food stands & an show facility. Or just an expansion of XB

haha true!

Scratch that FOA will be in Central Park here's the pic that was on twitter

FOA is in NY, Aillo confirmed it on twitter w/ a picture of the tank

Hanna Barbara Land, Phantom Theater, the title 'Fear Fest', WINTERFEST, & the old coasters

YES!

Yeah, it seems like HOS is improving a lot!

I have to say the most appealing years to me were 19 (the usher), 20 (20 years of fear) & 21 (lady luck)
