Tomorrow we MIGHT be getting an announcement about Halloween Haunt! We MIGHT get to see who's thoughts were the closest to the actual attractions.

Can I ask where you got the assumption that it may be tomorrow? Was there a hint that I missed?

On Kings Island's Twitter they said "Going to be on living Dayton tomorrow. Talking about Soak City, Pink days, and maybe even Halloween Haunt"

***More details to come, but new attractions for Halloween Haunt 2013 include Board to Death, Delta Delta Die & Backwoods Bayou.***

***Halloween Haunt attractions Massacre Manor, Mysteria and Cut Throat Cove have been retired and will be replace with new...blood.***

Holiday horror and hot blooded are both coming back this year for sure as well!

Mucho excitement. The best time of the year. But Massacre Manor is the best. ):

Bored to Death is like jamijai

Delta delta die- is a college party gone wrong

Backwoods bayou - is something with a banjo

Did you email Lance your thoughts about what these three may be? 'Cause his post is almost word for word the same thing:

[...] “Board To Death” is a new maze with an evil board game theme, just think of it as Jumanji with lots of blood, gore and boobytraps.

“Delta Delta Die” will take you inside the ultimate college rush party... one you may not survive.

“Backwoods Bayou” is fairly self explanatory... as any haunt with banjo music is always of great concern.

Aside from that, this got me thinking about Board to Death. I assume BtD to be replacing Mysteria, a haunt that, at first glance, I thought would be similar in nature to one of Halloween Horror Nights' own mazes the very same year it debuted - The In-Between:

The story behind the house is that two college dorm-mates snag a board game from a professor's office, unbeknownst to them that the "game" is actually comprised of cursed ancient runes that transport them to a demon world simply called the In-Between. I could potentially see Kings Island doing their own take on said attraction as it would leave a majority of the former Mysteria relatively unchanged (this wouldn't be the first time a KI Haunt and an HHN haunt shared the same theme, see Club Blood).

Or, I could be completely wrong and this could instead be a trek through a toy factory that specializes in manufacturing demonic board games and other children's novelties. At least then it would finally give people the Doll Factory maze they've been wanting for years now.

Que the Foggy Mountain Breakdown, quite literally. Now this Haunt BB as I call it, could be in the woods somewhere, possibly ToT replacement?

Not trying to be that guy, but I called the exact same thing that Cdeq said a few days ago on the other thread: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27856-halloween-haunt-2013/?p=534749

So how does everyone feel about the new mazes and the ones leaving?? Personally i'm excited for the new mazes. I'm really happy Mysteria is leaving; that was just a waste of time and space. I'm sad for Massacre Manor leaving that one wasn't bad but it has been there for a while.

I've always wanted to know is who comes up with the mazes? Does KI come up with them or does Cedar Fair come up with them? Either way, they've made great choices this year!

I believe CF does, b/c many of the parks have similar (if not the same) mazes, scare zones & shows. I could be wrong.

These sound liek they will be great additions and replacing a few mazes that were ready to go. Massacre Manor was ok but has been around for awhile now. Mysteria was a waste of space. And I enjoyed Cutthroat Cove when it was an actual house over near where Diamondback is now (Red Beard's Revenge then I believe), but this past year it was pathetic and not scary at all.

Very excited about having 3 new haunts to explore. And really looking forward to Backwoods Bayou.

I wish ki was as into preparing for haunt as knotts was. I have done some research and knotts prepares for haunt the whole year and that is why they have to beat haunt!

I don't know if this pertains to this thread or not, but I got bored and am trying to recreate Circus of Horror at KI with Google SketchUp.

Here's a screenshot of the WIP. IDK. Just thought I'd post it here.

...wait. Picture isn't showing up. How do I add a picture? I'm using Flickr.

Use the Direct Url, that usually works with Photo Bucket. Just click url buttons until it works. As well use the image button while in the post mainframe.

In the lower right corner of the photo area at the top of the page, you'll find several icons. One of them is sharing options (or "more sharing options"). Clicking on that will produce a small popup with options for HTML and BBCode. Select that, then the "BBCode" radio button. Next, select the size you want to embed from the dropdown menu. Finally, copy and paste the raw code provided directly into the main post text box (not into the "media" option or any of the other options above the post text box).

I thought it would be cool to have a Banshee trail or something the 2014 haunt season.

Ok...let's see if this works; if it does then THANK YOU to jcgoble3! haha...

Here's a screenshot of the Circus of Horrors I'm trying to recreate in Google SketchUp. I geo-located the enchanted theater for accuracy. It's a WIP.

Tomorrow is one month away from Haunt opening night , who's excited!

At this point I'll be spending more time at Knott's Haunt than I will be KI's....woohoo working evening shifts. I still plan on visiting KI when I am able to though.

Kings Island posted this on twitter. Anyone know if what maze its from or if its from a new one?

Yes.

Someone knows.

Terp, doing his thang.

Looks new. Good to see we'll be seeing higher quality props this year!

Cedar Point put up their Haloweekends site for anyone who is interested

I noticed that Knotts' HH site is different from the Halloweekends site. I wonder if corporate is letting each individual park have a little more free reign as to how they design their sites compared to past years? If I'm not mistaking, in years past, weren't all the HH sites for each park the same cookie-cutter design?

All Cedar Fair websites were different and then they changed to the same layout.

The haunt site is up

Is that the same haunt that has been used at cp in previous years? Is there a bridge through that cylinder that spins with weird lights on it?

YoungStud,

Yes. The 3D haunt at KI has been there, I believe, since 2001. That "tube" is a spinning tunnel, classic haunt effect used in many attractions. The "floor" in that picture is a geo-location from Google Maps of the Enchanted Theater in Planet Snoopy, so my location of walls and stuff should be exact.
