Halloween Horror Nights 22 Discussion

My apologies my major was in criminal psychology and it shows. I can talk all day about serial killers, personality disorders, and the psychologically insane but I just can't write it. Not the first time I have been called out for grammar and not going to be the last I can promise you that.

Hey can you proof read this for me? It looks good but I don't know?

 

[universal_fanatic]

Haha, you've done well hatetofly! Missing a couple of commas, but I'll let that slide...

 

[Andy]

Thanks Glad to see someone with a sense of humor.

Discovery Trail had 2 of the WORST haunts of all time. Most people who go to HHN would not like a trail type haunt they can't do a lot of the magic they can do with design in a house in that area.

I believe there should be a comma before "hatetofly." As in, "you've done well, hatetofly." I was an English major, too.

I'd like to see a haunted trail, but to be honest I think Busch would do it more justice. They have that DIY on a budget feel and I think that'd work with a trail better.

Difference between a Scare Zone and Discovery Trail was that Discovery Trail had a line..
Busch has learned not to do trails anymore either...partially because it stresses the birds around Bird Gardens and partially because they were never good (except the last year of Freaked)

Shouldn't've

Sadly Trail Haunts need more space and room to work then the average Theme Park haunt offers. Also they are at the Mercy of the weather like the scare zones.

Rumors from Screamscape

(4/24/12) The last word from our HHN spies is that while TruBlood was given the boot (a good idea I think…) it sounds like everyone was quick to approve a huge cross promotional event with AMC for an attraction themed to The Walking Dead, which should be launching it’s third season around the same time HHN kicks off.

(4/20/12) I’m not sure how much of this is true, but the latest rumor to float my way regarding Halloween Horror Nights 2012 seems to indicate that the park may be looking to partner up with far more existing intellectual properties than they have in the past.
According to our source, the Alice Cooper themed maze from HHN Hollywood last year was such a break away hit, that we may see it copied in Orlando this year. We’ve already talked about the pending inclusion of Penn & Teller, but there are also rumors claiming that we may see haunts themed to current shows like TruBlood and The Walking Dead. I’ve also heard some about kind of possible creative changes taking place with this year’s Bill & Ted show. More when we hear it…

 

[Jakemeister]

I've seen a lot of the tweets from Hollywood and while I haven't out-ruled a Walking Dead house for Orlando I see it as more likely for Hollywood. They've directly implied one of the houses is going to be based on an I.P. and Walking Dead makes a lot of sense.

On the note of the actual concept of the house, meh.

 

[Captain Tragedy]

I would only agree to a Walking Dead House if there is a scene where Lori dies. I cannot stand her character on the show.

Spoilery example.
Lori: Rick, you have to kill Shane.
Rick: Um, okay. (Goes out and kills Shane, comes back)
Rick: Hi Lori, I've killed Shane.
Lori: WHY DID YOU DO THAT??!
Rick: ??!! Hey where's Carl?
Lori: Who?

 

[Jakemeister]

I imagine a Walking Dead house would involve 9 scenes of just dialog and then 2 scenes of zombies trying to get us.

 

[Captain Tragedy]

HHN presents the new haunted house The Walking Dead: The Hunt for Carl

 

[tiredoldspook]

With the Walking Dead based out of Atlanta (they even offer a tour up there now of sights of season One) I would think HHN Orlando would get a shot at it. This being said We have seen a few zombie type houses in the past don't know why this would be different except as Jake Said more Dialogue less zombies.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I'd imagine it has to do with tapping into the show's enormous fanbase more than attempting to do something new.

 

[Brian G.]

With Busch Gardens doing everything Zombie last year, and HHN doing their fair share of zombies in recent years; I'd like for them to focus on something else this year.

My bet, something Mayan related to tie into 2012.

 

[JungleSkip]

I think something to do with 2012 Apocalypse is unavoidable. Whether it's a house or the overall theme, it will be present.

Is that based on source or park hours?
