thatbandguy8807 Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 ok, well here i am writing about the thing that excites me the most. Halloween Haunt. Im going to start this discussion for anyone who wants to express how they feel, what they think, and how the overall atratctions rate to other people. do you love going to Halloween Haunt? Can you wait till friday when it starts? I know i cant, im going to get there early so i can go strait for Urgent scare. how do you think everything will go this year over all? I havent been to the halloween season for Kings Island in forever and am looking forward to it! tell me what you think about the whole topic. do you think that the houses and mazes will be as good if not better this year than last year? what is it that intrests you about Halloween Haunt?

clbehymer Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Well, I'm going on Saturday, so I'll let you know what I think after that. If it is anything like the improvements that CP made from last year to this year (just went on Fri & Sat), I think that I will enjoy it! Quote
The Beast Rider Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I really enjoyed the Haunt last year. I really hope it is as good or better this year. I am looking forward to the cool nights that really make the coasters seem to fly!! Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 same here i went saturday with the family. it looked like they had almost everything set up for it then. Cant wait for a great year of Halloween Haunt Quote
AgentSoB Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I'm hoping I have a better time going through CarnEvil this year. Last year my experience was very calm and quite lame. Only two people attempted to scare me. Other than that all the other haunts I though were great. The standout for me was Death Row and Club Blood. We ran into some people who were very dedicated to thier jobs in these haunts. On a second note I think that more of the haunts need dedicated line walkers like Trail of Terror. This may help cut down on all of the cutting in line. I will say that it was extremely terrible especially for the fearzones. They'll never be able to stop cutting in line completely, but even a decline would be welcome. Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 well im hoping that i can get all of the scare zones and mazes in this year lol.im planning on going like 2 or 3 times this season hopefully. im going friday so i can try to get a few of them out of the way Quote
Sportscaster17 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Got a question fellas... Will be making my first Halloween trip to KI October 24. Do most of the rides stay open? I know the park is open until 1 am, so does that mean the coasters and other rides stay open until 1 am also? Thanks! Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 if i remember right....yes they do. I think they stay open until the park closes....i could be wrong but from what i have been reading and from one previous visit during halloween season many years ago, they kept them all open...that is a good question yes. but i do think they do keep them open... Quote
RailRider Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Yes the coasters and rides are open as long as the park is open. Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 Yes the coasters and rides are open as long as the park is open. thank you. i thought they did but i just couldnt remember i was only like...10 or 12 when i went the last time...here is another question that i have. how crowded do you think it will be tomorrow when it opens? Quote
Sportscaster17 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks a lot. The thought of riding The Beast at 1:15 a.m. in the fog is one too tantalizing to think about. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 It's great. I was on the last Beast train of the season last year, on the Bare Bones night on 10/31/07. After the trick or treating was done and my daughter was in bed, I headed up to the park, rode a few other rides then waited for the last train of Beast. Quote
StalkerChick Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I'm totally stoked to unveil Urgent Scare and can't wait to hear what you guys think about it! But some of the mazes are amping up their energy this year. Got a chance to do some rehearsal walk throughs last night, and I'm one of those stupid ppl that everyone (including me) hates that you jump at them and i go "hi how are you" and laugh at things (this is to mask the fear btw;)) but i'll admit there were a few times i got a little spooked! Even in my own attraction when i knew it was coming!! Friday's going to be amazing. Not quite sure how croweded it'll be, but Friday will be better than saturday, as most of the kids are at the football games, and may come later after the fact (from what i've seen in years past) but it won't be nearly as crowded as saturdays. Can't wait!!!!!!! Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 sweet...cant wait then!!!! what maze or house are you in? and do you also have a good plan to try and see all of the attractions you can in one night? Quote
marlfox_21 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Urgent Scare. Please do not let me down. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL DO WELL! I can't wait to see the new maze. The same goes for everyone involved with any of the other mazes. I hope that you do extremely well, keep your energy levels high, and don't exhaust yourselves in rehearsals before the actual event. I will be going through the park on Saturday, so everyone be sure to give me the best scare that I am going to get all season, from ANY park. I KNOW YOU WILL! Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 it seems to me.....the best time of the year for the park is comming up on friday it is gonna be great....and hopefully since its the very first night, they will all do great at scaring ppl to death. haha bad pun..oh well. but yea....LETS GET IT STARTED NOW!!!!I CANT WAIT TILL TOMORROW NIGHT!!! i also help with a haunted house at one of the elementary schools out by me each year and even though this is going to be full of gore, i can still get some ideas from effects and things like that since im in charge of special effects and music....my favorite time of year is here...cant wait what so ever!!!! :D Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Gee thanks Marlfox and Bandguy, put even more pressure on us! And StalkerChick, you're one of those people?!?! I developed some good lines last night to handle people like you. Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 ^ why you are so welcome gatorhead....but im sure you all will do fine and be great...i will just be excited enough about going as it is... Quote
Ki Man Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Look for the dead guy in the suit with the two by four in Cemetery...he'll give you some special treatment Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 lol i will have to remember that then....maybe he can finally knock some since into me and i will be able to think more Quote
RailRider Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I think that if you are working HH and are a member of KIC you should post a picture of yourself in character and what haunt you are working. Just a thought Quote
UncleHenry Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I think most people know what to look out for by now. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 ^That's right. Beware of the crazy fish monster! And the bouncer at Club Blood may be able to hook you up with a VIP room. Of course, our definition of VIP is Victimization In Progress... Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 ^you know i was about to say alright!!! but when i finished reading i thought.....ummmmmmmmmm never mind lol. dont think i want that Quote
Mr. Coastermania Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I cant wait for this saturday.I'll take the kids up for the day,then after i take them home,i'll return for more fun. Question i have is will the park still run if we get this rain they say is coming or will they shut down certain things until it is clear? Never fails.It can forcast a perfect day right up until the day before.Somebody let me know so i can plan ahead. Thank you. Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Posted September 26, 2008 ^thats another reason why im going friday..no honestly im going cause i have to work all day saturday and sunday...but, depending on how strong the rain is, i think would depend on what they close down if anything Quote
marlfox_21 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Gee thanks Marlfox and Bandguy, put even more pressure on us! And StalkerChick, you're one of those people?!?! I developed some good lines last night to handle people like you. Well, after all, you are going to be my 1st impression. Haunt this weekend, following a planned trip out to Young's Jersey Dairy Farms. I really want for Kings Island to be my first scare for the year. Next weekend however, it's HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS at Universal Studios, Orlando. I will be sure to state how Kings Island's Haunt compares in my point of view. Quote
faeriewench Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Yay the haunting season is here, good grief it don't even feel like a year. Fellow Haunt talent that read these boards, good luck tonight at your Haunts =) Just remember its you guys who make the maze come alive, so be on top of your act!! Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 And the bouncer at Club Blood may be able to hook you up with a VIP room. Of course, our definition of VIP is Victimization In Progress... Ooo, I just thought of a better definition of VIP! Victim In Pain... I'll have to use that. Wow, replying to my own post. And good luck to you too, faeriewench! Happy Haunting! Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Posted September 27, 2008 ok well i just got back and had a wonderful time. the very first thing i did was go to urgent scare......not too bad it was pretty good. i then was going to go to trail of terror but saw that it didnt open till 8 so i went and rode Flight of Fear. after that i went over to Action Zone and did club blood...great house! after i got through that, i went and rode Adventure Express then headed back over to trail of terror...longest wait of the night...about an hour and boy were my feet killing me lol. this was prolly the best thing there in my opinion. i then went and rode crypt and then got in line for tombstone territorry. that was fun. i then after that went to the grave yard..that was put well together with the actors...I then went over to carn evil. the whole haunted house itself wasnt that great but i mean come on, not too bad for using the same thing for kids during the day. the whole 3D thing was kinda neat and The Vortex thing at the end was the best part about it. after that, i think i went to corn stalkers. after that, i went and saw the ending to dead awakening...then went over to massacre mannor which was the last thing i did. the only thing i did not get to do was the construction site. but i am definately planning on going back again....over all..GREAT NIGHT AND WAS REALLY IMPRESSED! had a blast with it. and even jumped a little bit..what all do you think about the first night...im thinking about going back after work tomorrow Quote
