I hope to be going tonight, so I haven't watched any vids yet to try to stay mostly spoiler-free (though I have seen a few pics). The few things I have seen look pretty decent for Six Flags (though obviously a step down from HHN). The giant monkey prop for the Oz scarezone looked really cool, and maybe original? I've never seen a prop like that before, so it implies they're not just shopping at Spirit to get these props.
One thing I did hear is that the chaperone policy did keep crowds pretty light. Granted, it's always lighter on a Friday night at SFFF, but let's hope that keeps up throughout the season.
I should be able to attend for free with my membership, so I'll probably be going a lot. I hope to see how/if it evolves over time.
But it does seem the returning mazes (Saw and Conjuring) got much better reviews this time around. Perhaps SF is in for the long game? Meaning they'll likely keep all these properties for a while, but just keep improving them year after year? It's an interesting approach, because even Knott's generally doesn't typically change their returning mazes. But we've now seen it happen for Vault 666, Saw, Conjuring, and Truth or Dare. Also also for Condamned turning into House Party, which was a very clever re-invention--though I hear it's back to the regular version now.
