fearfest
For those of you interested I took the liberty (bored) and made an audio clip that could be used if KI did chose to do a "House of Jigsaw"... kind of sets the mood for the haunt and explains the theme! Here's the link to the wav file... http://www.terrorhome.com/houseofjigsaw.wav Happy Haunting. -Hauntguy PS: This is me in the clip... not Tobin Bell (Jigsaw)

I think it would be cool to re-theme (really retheme, not rename) "Maze of Madness" into "House of Jigsaw". Yes, Jigsaw from the SAW movies! You would travel through a twisted industrial maze of chainlink and fog... the maze is filled with some of Jigsaws "trapped victims" and some victims that didn't have a happy ending! Really pump the gore and startle factor and you may have a really BAD@$$ haunt! Also, maybe have an area before you enter the haunt were you watch a greeting video or listen to an audio tape from Jigsaw! That would be awesome! Also I am hoping that PsychoPath, Maze of Madness and Sleepy Hollow Horror gets some new awesome facades! MoM doesn't even have one! SHH... don't even go there! Psycho Path just kind of walked into the trail... odd? -Hauntguy

What if you were hired to rename KI rides & shops?
No offense, but that is the worst idea for AE ever! I would not want to sit and revisit memories of miners and families who have lost lives! That would be one hell of a sad ride! NO WAY! The runaway mine train is a very cool idea... is really do-able... but the ending, scratch that! Maybe an ending were everything is falling apart, rumbling, debris (fake) is falling, lights are flashing. It's like simulating that the mine is caving in... but you exit just in time! -Hauntguy

Weight issues?
I'm a pretty big guy.... 5'8 and 260 lbs.... I can ride all of the rides. It's a REALLY tight fit on some of them, but I can ride them! -Hauntguy

No Winter Fest this year
"Other Park Attractions"... Could Fearfest be re-vamped and pumped up for '06? I hope so! -Hauntguy

WINTERFEST CANCELED

More on How Cedar Fair Does Things
The last 4 times I have been to KI this year there HAVE NOT been a show open! To me, shows should open daily (except Mondays)... have times when people are more likely to go... and PLEASE have more than ONE show! KI has 5 places to hold shows... USE ALL OF THEM! Timberwolf, Paramount Theatre (might change to Centennial Theatre), International Street Bandstand, International Showplace, and the small theatre next to SDATHC... is it still in use at all? Just my thoughts! -Hauntguy

Great Wolf Lodge
I think it's funny how in the drawing of the Lodge for KI... It looks SO far away, but one ride on Top Gun! I can throw a rock and hit it! -Hauntguy

Me and so many others want King Cobra back!
I hope, KI just gets a new stand-up, like Chang! Forget Cobra... I want a stand-up twister! -Hauntguy

Cool, Thanks for the info. Again, I've been at this for 11 years... Maybe they'll find a place for me! LOL! -Hauntguy

Kings Island Fearfest Auditions
This won't be my first haunt (been at for 11 years now)... but it will be my first Fearfest! I hope they don't say I'm too scary? I have made people in the past... Faint, pee themselves, crap their pants, and caused a womans water to break! NO JOKE! But I think I might go the tech route for Fearfest! What are the positions for techs at the event? -Hauntguy

fearfest
OH! Also, Captian Jack.... The Freezer, The Sewer, etc... those were all haunts licensed out by KI from "The Sudden Impact! Entertainment Company"... Lynton V. Harris owns/operates the company and was the man in charge at the first Fearfest. This was just a "Getting Started" event that set KI off to get their own attractions! Just a litle info. -Hauntguy

fearfest
Last year I would have to say that the Coney Maul WAS NOT a scarezone! A scarezone to me is like Corstalkers/Gauntlet area... Coney was only lit and had actors who roamed it (somewhat, most of which did not stay in their area and ended up in other parts of the park)... You want SCAREZONES>> Go to HHN! I think the perfect place for a haunt in AZ would be to open up the old q-line under the station of TG! Really work with it and turn into a haunted battleship or ghostship... I think that would be scary as hell! Have a greeter were that part of the Q starts... then break off the line for TG in groups of about 6-7... that way the haunt could span all the way to the ride and not have "wait for the ride" in the haunt! Also the empty lot behind Delirium would be cool! Maybe haunt out AE! Put some live actors in there... bloody props, strobes, musis, etc.! Also... maybe close down Skyflyer and set a tent up on that plot of land and do a haunt! That's a pretty big piece of land KI has.... I think a haunt there would be cool! I know at Knotts they close down the bumber cars... remove the cars... and build a haunt within the building! Maybe KI could do that if they want to get the haunts onto the midways! I think Maze of Madness would go perfect into a bumber cars building! Just my thoughts! -Hauntguy

Starlight Express: Costume Recycling?
I know at NKU... my Theatre advisor said that they have to GIVE AWAY costumes to local High Schools who need them! They have a HUGE storage space stacked from floor to ceiling with costumes! IT's INSANE!!! -Hauntguy

VERY interesting clarification re Cedar Fair/China
Please understand that IT'S FREAKING CHINA!!! American copyright law DO NOT apply in other countries! If I had the ability to build a replica park of Cedar Point in Germany (and use "Cedar Point") then I can! There would be NOTHING the company could do about it! ONLY in america do copyright/licensing laws/etc to they exist! I just can't see were people think this cannot happen? -Hauntguy

fearfest
I wish KI would charge seperate ticket admission to Fearfest! Maybe something like $10-15 for a UV Waterproof stamp... Just to allow you into the haunts! This could keep lines down and make MORE money to spend on the next Fearfest! I don't know, I don't have any say in the matter... just thought I would chime in! -Hauntguy
-
fearfest
I highly doubt that Fearfest this year will be any comparison to HHN... but maybe in time, it can be! Plus remember that Universal is a year round park... bringing an amount of $$$ KI can only dream of! Therefore, they can put literally MILLIONS into there halloween events EVERY YEAR! -Hauntguy

phantom theatre
If I remember correctly when the annoucement was made that the ride would be closing... they gave away a few "packs" that had some really cool stuff about the ride and an on-ride video of it in action! Maybe it could be found on the net? I think if KI were to open a museum about the park... bring back PT for it! That would be cool! I sure do miss that ride! -Hauntguy

Son of Beast
Well... I can say that I was at the park with a good buddy of mine (no names), I can tell you that he is a seasoned (26 years) structural engineer (or however you spell it). He told me just be LOOKING at SOB from the ground that it has a TON of problems! And I can remember him telling me that ALOT of people will get hurt on that ride... and he still hasn't ridden it. -hauntguy
