Screamscape "While it’s no surprise that Halloween Haunt is returning to Kings Island again this year we have heard one interesting rumor claiming that in addition to being bigger and better than ever before there is rumored to be a new indoor attraction “somewhere you would never expect.”

What if somewhere you would never expect was swan lake?

Anyone know anything about this.

BTW I doubt it is the lake but what if?

I know where it's at!

The Walmart down the street. Duh!

lol, jk,

well, somewhere we don't expect? The festause?(Did I spell that right??)

Highly highly doubt Swan Lake... the word liability comes to mind.

I've heard rumors of a new haunt in a new location, but nothing that people would be shocked about.

Nick Theater, perhaps?

The only other location I can think of is inside the RVT Arcade building. Oh, and the interior of the Coney arcade building.

They have had haunted houses in the festhaus in previous years

Not to mention now it's impossible to put a maze since they added the Panda Express shop inside.

That, and the fact that it gets annoying from both people screaming constantly in the maze from outside on a bench, and when the old big screens used to show football games and having to hear that while in the maze.

Hmmmm.... if I were a new haunt at KI, where would I be:

-Festhaus?

-Coney Arcade?

-Rivertown Arcade?

-The Q-line of a ride, like The Beast?

-The 50ft. Platform of Eiffel (sp?) Tower?

-Picnic Grove?

-Nick Theater?

Hmmmm.... I don't know. -Hauntguy

Just a guess....

The inside & outside queues for FoF.

Take out the railings, and there is a rather large space to be used.

I've always said a sci-fi/alien type haunt should go in with FoF... kinda fits the whole "XBASE" theme! Good idea! -Hauntguy

They do that at Kings Dominion.

You and I have probably heard about the same thing. If so, I would have to agree with you that this attraction would not be in a location that would be shocking. The attraction itself may be shocking from the name I heard for it, but not the location.

Wish I knew the possable name....

Shocking isn't it?

how about the theater back between the turn-arounds for The Racer?

Someone mentioned the "abandoned" photo stations in RiverTown. I'm going to say not likely. I was pushing a stroller with a sleeping toddler in it Saturday and was walking on the "porches" of those buildings. can you say- MEGA storage locations?

also- if the original story calls for an "indoor" attraction, I can't imagine that would translate to Swan Lake- a very ominous outdoor location.

In 2006 they thought about the bottom level of Vortex's Station (they had the managers looking at the area I think that was what someone told me i don't know if its true or not but take it with a grain of salt) but I think they dropped the Idea

Does anyone know if they have announced the pricing for HH this year?

And... are they going to make everyone clear the park for the hour that they are closed (6-7) and then re-enter?

Of course, I have a platinum pass and don't have to worry about the charge, but I always have friends with me that don't get season passes.

what was that space ever used for anyway?

50th floor of the Eiffel Tower, lookin for that kid

at a max of 350 feet tall- I'm not sure you could make a case that the Eiffel Tower (at Kings Island) is capable of 50 floors.

Perhaps you mean the 50 foot observation area.

what was that space ever used for anyway?

Part of the old Que line for The Bat. I've only seen it open a couple times.

Are their any pics.I think the Kings Island Theater.They could put a sign over the name.

It was indeed used for The Bat Que but now they chopped all the rails and now use it for storage like old trash cans and the carts that hold Vortex cars during the off season. but that is about much it that I know of. I haven't been down there since 2006!!!

i ment that closed area, and how could that be a que for The Bat anyway dawg?

there are a total of 4 steps that lead down there

1. as you go down the steps after you went over the station

2. after you went past the first steps there is another before you enter the station

3. where the line splits front middle and back

4. in front of the station

You are right.

Tends to be a very claustrophobic feel when it's full of people. In fact, they normally opted to just let the line run out the station and down towards the Monster.

What about.........FX theater?

Probably not, just throwing them there ideas out...

And... are they going to make everyone clear the park for the hour that they are closed (6-7) and then re-enter?

From how the calander reads, it appears like the park will be cleared and then re-opened.

Which does bring up some intresting questions:

- will guests be allowed to leave HH and then re-enter later in the night? There has been talk in the past that the park would not allow people to do that.

- will the computers allow a season pass to be scanned twice? I personally have had issues with that at CP after taking a shower at Hotel Breakers to get the grimy water ride "stuff" off of me which led to the hand stamp also washing off.

- what kind of security presence will be at the park on Saturday nights? Please don't take my comment the wrong way, but having the park be open to 1:00am and combining that with a large group of teens at Halloween seems like it could be a potential issue.

It was put like that in the calendar to stress that the regular part activities will be stopping at 6, and Halloween Haunt will start at 7. This hopefully will get the people with young kids out before the scary people come out to play.

So there will be no closing with people pulled out of the park.

(Not official information, subject to change.)

^ Now that is good to know!

So what happens the monsters just start coming out of no where?
