This is exactly the reason I reallyyy wasn’t a fan of the Killer Klowns SZ. Mind you, obviously the set pieces and costumers were amazing, but because of the congestion, the slow movement of the klowns, and it’s location it didn’t feel like scarezone. More like a cosplay convention lol.
It was located in an “out of the way” part of the park, so instead of people naturally walking through it I noticed myself and a lot of people would walk in on the Vamp 85 side, walk around for a little bit, then go back out the way they came from. There was no natural walk-through flow, in one way and out the other, like the other zones.
Actually early on in the 2018 spec I had hoped they would put Killer Klowns in Hollywood, themed around the parade from the movie. I think that may have worked better, but it turned out best anyways because Chucky was my favorite zone last year.
Okay off-topic rant’s over. But for those reasons I’m so glad they decided to go with San Fran again this year and not the Killer Klowns location (idk the name) like early speculation maps placed Hellbilly Deluxe at.
I don’t think congestion is going to be an issue with this zone. Invasion and Dead Man’s Wharf were mostly congested because of the construction of F&F and the huge center pieces, and neither seem to be an issue with Hellbilly Deluxe.
