So I went through Gothic and Dead End last night...WOW! Blown away by both houses. They had some visually stunning moments and some really great scares and more that would have gotten me if I wasn't able to dodge their timing. Easily the best two houses of the event. I thought the Pepper's Ghost effect in Dead End was very nice, and seeing the end result didn't really ruin it for me.
Question about Gothic...
I feel like it is probably obvious, but I'm not entirely sure how they're doing it. Projection?Anyone know how they do the scene in Gothic where it feels like you're walking on a ledge high above the sanctuary?
How were the wait times last night? I went to a concert and completely forgot to text HHN.
Most of the houses stayed above 20+ minutes most of the night. Alice Cooper's longest wait was a 10 minute wait based on the text message times. Penn & Teller and Walking Dead had the longest wait times of the night - 60 minutes. The others fluctuated between 15-45 minutes.
House of Horrors would say 30 but was actually running closer to an hour.
Also, the text message times seemed flat out wrong. I received one standing in KidZone that had Alice Cooper at 5 when the sign said 20, and HoH at 20 when the sign said 30.
Let me just say, the street experiences are fantastic this year. I honestly think I've enjoyed them more than the scarezones in all of the years I've gone (2009-2012). The actors were ridiculously entertaining and on-point and really enhanced the event ten-fold for me.
For anyone who went to EP, how do you feel about the street's current state? How much has it changed in your opinion?
