  1. Screamscape is reporting that Lightning Rod will not be running on opening day. Anyone seeing anything else about it one way or the other?

    You could try reading the posts before yours...
    I have and the story posted was after those. Thanks.

  2. I seriously doubt Pinnacle would be interested in buying either Coney Island or Riverbend. Casinos do concerts to bring people in and/or through the casino and there is really too much distance between the two properties to do that effectively. Don't be fooled the only reason they bought the horsetrack was to open a casino.

  3. Urgent Scare did have the elevator effect when I went last night. In fact, there were strobe lights, several scareactors, and it felt like the room was moving. Maybe they didn't do it for you.

    Edit: Oh and I also agree with you about the name of Nightmare Alley. It's themed to a carnival, right? Nightmare Alley sounds nothing like that! They should change the area to CarnEVIL, and change the name of the maze.

    They were not running the elevator effect when we went through, just walked right through the room.

  4. We went last night and overall were disappointed in all three of the mazes we were able to do. Nightmare Alley was cool, I really like the lighting and fog effects but I think it is mis-named. Holiday Horror was okay and honestly probably my favorite for the night but they really need to work on the cue after you get your pictures taken, it was kind of a cluster. Urgent Scare was a huge disappointment for me. It has always been one of my favorites but the changes with the cue and exits really nurtured the Haunt. Also without the elevator effect at the beginning they ended up with just one long continues line and the actors were not able to re-set for each group. The last Haunt we did for the night was Massacre Manor. By the time we finally got trough the line it was kind of let down, I think this Haunt just needs some updating. Also nobody was behind any of the hidden panels on the wall in either Urgent Scare or Massacre Manor, cut backs? We did start and finish the night on Boo Hill, it was nice to have it opened but I have to wonder if it will continue since it seemed like nobody was riding it. We also did not understand the point in the actors standing along the track since they did not do anything. And one final rant – TOO MANY FRIGHT LANE PASSES! This was defiantly noticeable when trying to get into Massacre Manor.

  5. Worse addition ever to Haunt, it really slowed down the lines tonight. I am not sure how many they sell on any given night but it seemed like a lot tonight. Unless you are prepared to shell out the money from one I would not even recommend going to Halloween Haunt if you actually want to go to the Haunts.

  6. I would not be surprised if we begin to see the Metal Detectors to begin to disappear. They are costly to keep running and as they age they will get harder and harder to find parts for. Like it was mentioned earlier, they very rarely have them on anymore.

  7. I have never had an issues on Vortex but I personnally believe not all the seat belts are not the same length. I have had times in the past that I did not think I was going to get it buckled and in the same day I had no issues.

  8. It could be as simple as one division not know what the other is doing. The contract for the ride may have included having concrete in the area and it may have been executed out of Sandusky. The Coney Mall paver project may be part of Kings Island Cap X items for 2011. It is very possible that the one did not know what the other was doing until it was too late.

    Being a part of a large and fast construction project previously, I know this happens all the time.
