The way i see it is, as long as they can make some good scares out of them it'll be fine. The main problem i had with last years maze wasnt that they relied on the demogorgon, but that the scares in there were extremely predictable and most of them were super far away from where you would be walking. Also this is just an aside, but i think that the demogorgon costume last year was pretty bad, so at least if they use puppets they can make them look a lot better.But since S2 didn't have the demogorgon, but those demodogs instead, won't it rely mostly on puppets?
I feel like the reason the scares were placed as they were was because the designers knew Stranger Things would bring in a lot of newcomers to the event of a wide variety of age ranges, so I feel like they designed it as something of a beginner friendly maze, and I wouldn't be too surprised if this years is designed similarly.The way i see it is, as long as they can make some good scares out of them it'll be fine.

Thats likely a factor as well, those suits were pretty notoriously hard to breathe/move inOr, the Demagorgon suits were cumbersome and there's only so much mobility they could realistically achieve... which lead to telegraphed/obvious scares.
From what I have heard they didn't even get approval to put the Kids scare actors into the maze until pretty last minute, the did have Demogorgons though but none of the kids, just like Hollywood, so I think part of the issue may have been that the maze wasn't designed for those scare actors (the kids) to be there originally and the plan was to use mannequins. This year, since I will assume they plan their casting to include all the kids with the success of last year the maze, the maze this year will be designed more for scares. I am super curious what they do with the dogs, the Mindflayer, and if they end up doing anything with the vines in the tunnels.I feel like the reason the scares were placed as they were was because the designers knew Stranger Things would bring in a lot of newcomers to the event of a wide variety of age ranges, so I feel like they designed it as something of a beginner friendly maze, and I wouldn't be too surprised if this years is designed similarly.

Would the presence of the kids have made the maze inherently scarier? The Demagorgon is the scariest part of Season 1, bar none. There was no concerted effort to tame it down... it was just a showy maze.
I guess that depends on the guests themselves. I remember hearing from people who attended Orlando's event, as well as seeing comments on the videos of Orlando's Stranger Thing walk-through and how many people appreciated including non-scare actors, like the kids, as they claimed it made the environment feel more immersive to the show's tone. To each their own honestly though.
Just from that trailer, if they can pull off the mall and that creature in a maze, they've got no excuse to not do The Thing or Dawn of the Dead in the futureST3 looks crazy awesome! I hope ST3 comes next year cause this looks insane.
My first thought after seeing the monster was how they would pull that off in a maze, so many moving things and its massive. lets just hope they do the thing this year as a test run. (even though they wont)Just from that trailer, if they can pull off the mall and that creature in a maze, they've got no excuse to not do The Thing or Dawn of the Dead in the future
US is a good movie and could make a good maze. Yet we all said IT and Conjuring has to come but it didn’t, WB got in the way of that. Yes, US isn’t WB but it still doesn’t have to come. Nothing has to come. HHN can surprise us.If Us doesn’t come this year it’ll be a crime. Just finished watching it and it could easily fill up either it’s own maze or half of a Horrors of Blumhouse

Agreed but US is to big of an IP to bring to just one HHN IMOI really hope that it's its own maze, at least here in Hollywood. Let Ma and HDD2 or whatever Blumhouse is releasing in June and October fill out HoB, like how there was First Purge and HoB2 last year; there's just too much content in Us.
They started announcements/hints in 2016.With Monsterpalooza coming up I have one question.
Do they normally do announcements before or at Monsterpalooza?
