haunt 2013

I see your new here. Welcome to KIC! We are so glad to have another member of our KIC family! This thread should go in polls though but its okay, your a new guy, mistakes happen. Welcome to KIC!!

You don't have to put everything in the topic title, just saying.

I think Mysteria will be leaving. Well, at least, I hope it will be gone. I see everything else staying.

Club Blood will be replaced with Club Bub.

Are you comparing club blood to a cat or are you "Just Kidding"?

I'm saying Club Blood is on its way out and Lil Bub is awesome.

i could see club blood leaving and being replaced by something similar to no vacancy at kings dominion

Fear The Feral Cat, Bub!

Actually...this kid isn't new.

In other news, I hope no mazes come or go. Please refresh all mazes and put in to them a level of detail similar in quality to Madame Fatale's. Some of them have been the same since even FearFest's incarnation, and they're getting old (Massacre Manor and CarnEVIL come to mind).

An 18 year old is a kid?

Wow.

I'm almost twenty and I still like to consider myself a kid.

Gotta stay young while you can, right?

Agreed. I'm 25, and in many ways I'm really just an overgrown kid.

please see my avatar for all age related issues...

26 year old kid here

Need to make them more scary....The Holiday one was cool to walk through, but no fright in it. Terror Train again was cool, especially heckling the zombie train robbers...but again, not really scary....The most interesting were the last two we went to...the one close by Invertigo and the one behind where the Drop Zone is. Loved being made to feel like I was being squeezed out of something....

Hardly saw any scaractors walking Coney or anywhere.

I would love to see Fright Feast from CP. Man that one got me several times. I enjoyed the ones at CP a lot more this year, and I was even going into them with kids (by their own choice)....got scared several times.

Cornstalkers

Why does Mysteria have to go because it isn't scary? Why can't it just be a warm up haunt for the people who aren't quite ready for the major ones?

It's not scary but it's also weird and pointless. I've mentioned it plenty of times before, but it has a bunch of people in spandex hitting cowbells. Remind me how that has anything to do with Halloween?

Oh yeah you are right. I forgot butcher shops have to do with Halloween, also.

Butcher shops including people with axes wanting to kill people, yeah. But Mysteria, there is no blood, no gore, no monsters, no creatures...

I guess we just disagree.

The R-rated "final scene" of Mysteria is rather tasteless; I wouldn't consider that a warm-up for anything.

So strippers in a night club are now related to Halloween?

I walked through it 4 times this year and have no idea what you are talking about. The only ending I ever had was walking through the exit.

Mysteria's usually the haunt I take newbies through to get them warmed up to Haunt. It's so out there that it "breaks the ice," so to speak, and generally warms people uneasy about being scared up to the idea of laughing off the scares, rather than freaking out all the time. Cut-Throat Cove's good for that, too, and Holiday Horror and Cornstalkers are good next steps after Mysteria or CTC.

It's hard (and usually permanently counterproductive) to throw people who aren't totally sold on the Haunt experience straight into houses like Wolf Pack, Slaughterhouse, or Madame Fatale's. Houses like Mysteria are the "kiddie coasters" of Halloween Haunt--they're there to warm you up to the idea, rather than tossing you right into a terrifying, high-adrenaline house that's nothing but scares. If you're used to haunted houses (or, if we're still going with the kiddie coaster analogy, roller coasters), they may not do much for you, but that doesn't necessarily make them failures.

My predictions for next year: if a house is changing/leaving, it'll be Cornstalkers. That thing's apparently difficult to keep staffed, as it's usually the one that's noticeably lost the most scareactors over each Haunt season for the past couple seasons. It doesn't really have unique props except the costumes, which could easily be reused if one of the scare zones *coughnightmarealleycough* gained a little corn. Don't know what could replace it or how it could be modified, but that's my prediction if any house is going to change or leave. I'd sooner guess we'll see another house added in Flight Commander's queue or in the field outlined by Racer, Flight of Fear, and Adventure Express, for instance, than see a house changed/removed, though.

I think I missed something... What "R-rated final scene"? The most I ever noticed in the end of Mysteria was a scareactor standing there telling you to have a good night.

I'm glad to know that the "ending" I saw (after 12am on a Friday night with particularly bad weather) isn't a normal occurrence.

Suffice to say, it was not at all appropriate for any family amusement park.

Well now I'm just curious if ya made it up.

Any grown-up male in spandex scares me

Vampires...

The point haunt is to scare people. Of course some of the stuff listed isn't scary to most but it is to some. Also the non scary attractions try to create a disturbing "encounter". The purpose is not always to scare the living sh*t out of everyone, you got to mix it up a little.

Then explain to me how a wax museum fits with Halloween.
