CoastersRZ Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Interesting article. Although, Channel 5 is perhaps the worst television station in the Cincinnati area, IMO. Did anyone see their terrible coverage of the WEBN Cincinnati Bell Fireworks over Labor day weekend? Quote
Seven Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Music to my ears! I'm still a little down about losing the original House of Nightmares by Mt. Vernon, so this is wonderful news. Ann is stoked too, so we'll definitely be there! -Steven Quote
Dvo Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Yee haw! I've been to Fearfest 4 different years now, and there have only been a few haunts that really scared me. The Curse of the Pharoah (name?) circa 2003 perhaps really scared me, and the Psychopath got me good last year, but that was only because we went through right as the park closed so we were the only people in it. YIKES! I hope this year all of the attractions are terrifying Quote
Browntggrr Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Well it is a good thing that the name was changed. Now I really wonder how many people are going to complain that their 8 year old was too scared and that the park should have let people know about the changes. It's bound to happen. Quote
Smitty Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Halloween Haunt is still free to passholders for this year right? My friend said she knows some people who are working Halloween Haunt and they said pass holders don't get in for free. Quote
Browntggrr Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 My friend said she knows some people who are working Halloween Haunt and they said pass holders don't get in for free. Cabana Lady right? Sorry, inside joke. Yes, 2007 season pass holders can attend HH free. Now come 2008, it is expected to change. Quote
hauntguy Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Is anyone else excited? I am! Let the haunt begin! -Hauntguy Quote

I figured that it was still free to pass holders, But I figured that I might as well make sure before I drive over there sometime this october. Quote

specialk141 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 “We advise before you come through the gates, no one, no thing is off limits.” no one... does this mean actors will be able to interact and physically touch guests? i hope so. i love hants where people grab me from behind... little extra scare. i doubt very much because of insurance liabilities that this will be possible.... but i guess we can hope!

That would be cool, but highly doubtful... Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 I am quite certain that will NOT be allowed. If it is, it may well be the last such event at the park. We live in a time where the consequences of that could be very, very ugly....and litigation might be less of a problem than physical interactions from some guests that may not be very pretty, to say the least. Fight or flight lives just below the surface of at least a few of the guests, and that isn't something the park needs. So, I'd say the "no touching" the guests or the scaracters rules will continue... Quote
Browntggrr Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 So, I'd say the "no touching" the guests or the scaracters rules will continue... For some reason, probably lack of sleep, I had this image of hauntguy running around people, arms and hands flailing while screaming "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!" Quote
UncleHenry Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 You guys know why it's going to be so much more intense this year right? Because I'll be a monster, and you really don't want to run into me on the streets of Rivertown. You'll have nightmares for weeks... *insert evil laugh here* Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 Yah, the guys know... The question is "Does Karen know?" --Terpy, being evil Quote
RingMaster Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Season Passholders get in free this year. Next year, ya'll need to start paying to get into the event. No joke, mateys. ....oh yeah, and I changed my nickname to Maniac, for the complete wild and unpredictable mannerisms one actor (read: ME) can do. If you see a creeper on the ground lying in the fetal position, then crawling up to someone's ankles, and finally hopping up on a planter ledge and screaming like a howler monkey all in the matter of a split second.... ....yeah, that'll be me. Quote
UncleHenry Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 And is a monster creeps right on up to you and growls into your ear "Manah manah", that would be me. I'm giving myself the nickname Muppet for that very reason. Quote
hauntguy Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Actually, HHN at Universal is throwing there "touch" policy out the window. Now, actors can "touch" you, just not "grab" you! Also, some scareactors ARE allowed to touch the guest, but only when asked or agreed upon with the guest; like if someone wants to shake hands, hug, or pose for a picture. Is anyone going to the RIP party tonight? I'm going, so I might see you there! -Hauntguy Quote
mikejenkins1 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 I am pretty sure when we were at CP a few years back it was stated in a guide or on signs that the monsters were explicitly told not to touch and would not. They may reach out at you and accidentally touch but they were instructed not to do so. Agreed there could be many law suits if they did and if they do, what kind of wording is out there about this and what they really can do. I can see that getting way out of hand and getting nipped in the bud quickly. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Man I can't wait till this years Halloween Haunt. Its the best time of the year. There is nothing better than a fog filled theme park so thick you can't see two inches in front of your face. The only sad thing is that the season is coming to a quick end. Quote
KIBeast Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 So true, FOF. My favorite quote: “You name it, they'll be coming after you with chain saws, hacksaws, knives (and) axes,” Helbig said. I was scared quite a few times last year. Let's see if they can kick it up a notch or two this year. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 They only things that scares me at Haunted Houses are the chainsaw guys. They get me everytime. I know they don't even have a chain on them but they still freak me out. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 I will be there every Saturday that Halloween Haunt is open. I just can't get enough of this event. Anyway we should have a meet on one of the days. Quote
Neon Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Oh my gosh! I'm going to have nightmares just by reading all this stuff! I' nervous about going already. And a question about the monsters roaming the park. What do they do while they roam the park? Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 Why, they do what monsters do! Quote
