I mean, I'm getting Schittie's Kids meets Saws 'n' Steam vibes- not that I can remember 2011 as vividly as I'd like, but I remember the industrial/factory setting done pretty well inside the cramped Jaws queue so...I have a good amount of faith that an original concept created with the F&F footprint in mind won't be a failure in that regard.

The question now just becomes, how much of the experience is killer kids and how much is grimy factory? Personally I'd hope for something a bit like the retired Dark Ride at Knott's- weaving between the "open for visitors" portion of the factory and the "employees only" areas where things are a little more grusome.

I know today's location and setup are entirely different, but I'm reminded of when we had Giggles and Gore in San Francisco, specifically in the Disaster Queue ten years ago. That house was underrated in HHN history, in my opinion. I'm hopeful that this new factory house will capture a similarly unsettling tone, especially with the concept of sweets. We'll see.

What I'm most interested in about this house is the new layout for the F&F queue in general. From what I've heard, all the changes might benefit the location.

So, do we think that Sweets and this mysterious god-like icon we keep hearing about are connected in some way? Major Sweets possibly being under its influence or gaining power from it somehow? It would be a fun way to tie the icon in with a house if they decide to go in that direction this year.

 

[Legacy]

Honestly? A little disappointed in the factory angle. Hoping they really deliver an amazing house with it, but I would've preferred the traditional suburban Halloween we got in Sweet Revenge.

We got you.

 

[Chumpieboy]

Naw. That’s just l33t sp33k.

Does anyone know if it's Major Sweets Candy Factory (like it's just the company name) or Majors Sweets' Candy Factory (like it's his)? I know it's the smallest thing ever but it's just been bothering my head all day

If ya'll haven't listened to the podcast episode about Major Sweets, I'd recommend it, because it is indeed a prequel to the street. I think it's likely that some ideas from the backstory will find their way into the house.

Sweets should hand us visitor badges as we enter the factory

The scare zone was amazing, can't wait to see his factory that surely meets all health codes

At last, the spiritual successor of LEAVE IT TO CLEAVER

Even better if they make the entrance the Candy Factory exit/employee area and the exit the entrance of a Candy Shop. lol

 

[Lucky Planet]

not sure how kids belong in a candy factory... lol. is this going full willy wonka?
i was really excited for this until i saw the location, not sure what to expect except for narrow hallways,

it's a field trip to a candy factory.

i would say "wow i wonder how big the sets are, or how much will they borrow from wonka? chocolate fountain? "but the location makes me keep expectations low

We'll see how the rumored layout change affects things. I'm optimistic.

yeah i read about that and it sounds intriguing, i wonder if they are keeping the outdoor part

 

[Kichkinet85]

I’m definitely intrigued in how the layout will work for this house.

Could have some fun scares if it uses factory elements like overhead cranes or catwalks

Unlikely to happen since this is in the F&F tents.
