Does anyone else see the humor in this?

Awesome, thanks Dane!

So... Cowboy Carnage is simply renamed "Red Beards Revenge". Is there any new changes to the haunts at all? -Hauntguy

How is that Hummer HHaunt themeing?

^It's not.

Awesome, thanks Dane!

That's what I'm wondering. Now that we know Halloween Haunt is free with admission (for the last time), are the haunts going to be any different from last year other than the names?

How does Halloween Haunt work at other parks where there's an upcharge? Does the season pass holder get into the park until 12-1am and pay extra for the haunted attractions? This should be clarified before season passes are sold at KI. Are they going to open in April like last year? What is the normal park season? April through October?

From a few sneak peeks last week, I'd say the layouts and interiors of the mazes will remain relatively unchanged. A few people have suggested that a good chunk of the improvements this year are going to the costume and make-up departments, to make the monsters look even scarier than before.

Also, and I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the press releases say there will be 13 attractions for the Haunt, yet only 11 are listed right now. Well, I asked around, and it's confirmed that there are going to be a total of thirteen attractions.

An obvious guess is that the Hauncert Series may be coming back, along with that Heckle and Howl improv show, although I can imagine the improv routine will be more adult-oriented than last year's offering.

Although, it would be really cool to have two more fear zones available this year, or perhaps one additional zone and one additional show. Maybe copy Kings Dominion's upcoming VooDoo Swamp or CarnEVIL scare zone.

Speaking of CarnEVIL, looking at the two boards on the opposite sides of the Theater, there's an attraction with this moniker. So I'm thinking to myself, it's either the official rename of the Circus of Horrors, or a new scare zone. I personally doubt the latter and am just expecting it to be the Circus's rename. But, hey, anything could happen.

Did they say it was going to be an upcharge next year? CWL and KD don't charge for there Halloween event. PGA doesn't have a Halloween Haunt. I hope they don't charge for it next year.

Reading the entire topic will provide the answer to 90% of your questions.

That attraction will not be returning for the 2007 event.

Halloween Haunt is FREE with park admission this year, however WILL be an upcharge next year.

How they will handle Halloween Haunt as an upcharge next year is a decision that has yet to be made. Likely they will be open from 10-5, close, then Halloween Haunt will be from 7 to 1am, however that is NOT the official word.

Im bummed that the hauncert series wont be returning, I heard Combat Stupendous might have been playing.

That, right there, would be a Timberwolf concert event on its own.

Wow... I hope CarnEvil is a scarezone! If so, I wonder if I could switch? I really don't like being a "cowboy"! Haha.. -Hauntguy

Hey, on the HH site under "Videos", KI has uploaded several very cool vids for haunt. I'm in one for about... .5 seconds! HAHA!!! Anyways, the vids are really cool... go check them out:

CarnEvil is there any proof that leads to this?

See post #37 of this thread, where Ringmaster tells us of the signs on either side of The Paramount Theater.

I'm thinking it might be a show! On one of KI's Haunt videos... it says there are 3 shows? Well, only one has been announced! Could CarnEvil be a show? This is getting exciting! -Hauntguy

WHEW! Good thing there not! Worst excuse for music EVER!

There will only be one show for the adult Halloween Haunt, Dead Awakening. However, there are typically one or two shows for Nick or Treat.

I'm not sure if this was posted but, is Elvira coming back?

^ HAHAHA!!! She'll be back when they find one! -Hauntguy

To answers some of the above questions:

Both Top Gun and Elvira will be featured in the 2007 Halloween Haunt experience.

They really ought to get rid of Superstition; that ride is NOT scary at all, barely entertaining as well. I thought last year's Fun House Express was much better, and that movie is actually OLDER than Superstition, too (I believe so).

Actually, I really enjoyed both shows. It was the Dracula one that was terrible.

Superstition is the best FX Movie I've seen at KI, it may not be scary buts its fun.

Top Gun featured for HH? Ryan, have been taking the "cough" medicine again! -Hauntguy

People have been asking in a few different threads if Top Gun will be open since Club Bood is in such a close proximity.

Topgun is on the list of thrill rides at the Haunt site. I wonder if the Action Zone area is going to be dark for Halloween Haunt? It might be thrilling to ride Drop Zone in complete darkness. My questions are will there be facades outside of the houses (except for Massacre Manor) and will the train be stopping along the route for Tombstone Terrortory? I always thought that a train ride dropping guests off in the picnic grove for a haunted h use would be kind of neat. Guests could walk through a zone behind the meet and greet theater right between the Wild thornberry ride and Reptar.

I don't know if this should be labeled 'Bursting the Bubble' or not, considering the wording is a bit confusing to me, but it seems as if they are, in fact, charging for Halloween Haunt as discount tickets for Friday and Saturday nights:

http://www2.cedarfair.com/kingsisland/shop...l_admission.cfm

Unfortunately, it doesn't say anything involving Season Passholder discounts at all, and this is the only page that pops up for General Admission tickets.

So I don't know if this is just an online discount for regular admission (like you'd find at, like, Wendy's, or Kroger) and paying at the park means paying full price, or this is the upcharge that was rumored for awhile only in the form of the general admission being 'slashed' in half.

Any more details, please?

EDIT: Also just checked the information for Nick or Treat this year. Apparently, NoT will be closing at 5:30pm instead of 7:00 on both Saturday and Sunday, with the Haunt starting at 7pm Saturday nights.

It's the price for a regular admission... HH is free with park tickets! This is surely a web only discount! -Hauntguy
