I hate that I'm never excited for scare zone announcements anymore and haven't been for years. I'm glad to see when others are, but when my fond memories go back to the days when the whole park felt engulfed in fog and scarezones were everywhere, like 2010, I just can never get enthused about a couple props being put up along the congested highway that is the front gate to New York Street stretch.
The French Street zone coming out of a maze has always been cool enough the past few years, but when that's the high point of scare zones nowadays, I'm just... bleh. I'm struggling to even believe it's been five years since we even had anything on the Metro sets, including the gauntlet setup, but what I wouldn't give to have a return to the older ambiance (which'll never happen with the crowd size now, so... c'est la vie on that idea).
