SOBwasaSOB Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hamlet haunt ftw! Its got the spooky ghost...course most Shakespear works do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Given the recent trend that's been occurring with haunts over the past few years, I'd expect to see an Edgar Allen Poe haunt pop in before a Shakespearean one. Between the literal (Universal's Nevermore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G7F9L04n9s) and more abstract (Knott's Forevermore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24q3Y67U_5s) interpretations, it would seem to be a quite unique haunt in Kings Island's lineup alongside ones like Board 2 Death, Holiday Horror, and Wolf Pack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Interpretations. Poe. Even I might like that. The Interpreter ... typically a fan of only Kennywood's and Busch's Boo Events (and the Camden Park Spooktacular!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOBwasaSOB Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 A Poe haunt could be very scary! I was joking about Shakespeare but Poe's writing is disturbing enough to actually be a haunt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The Nevermore haunt US Florida was really fun. It was atmospheric and gothic with lightning, blowing curtains, a raven "cawing", a Tell Tale Heart beating, and dramatic Poe readings throughout the attraction and several Poe impersonators...lol...it was bizarre, but effective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesharrison Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Speaking of haunts, any word on Madame Fatales? Looks like there's a nice dump truck or flatbed back there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantisMan Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 For what it's worth.....when looking for information on the new AZ "circle" I noticed something interesting about that building. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocolts Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Madame Fatales is done and a top spin is returning with awesome themeing. I wish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The experience of a top spin will never measure up to the experience on a giant top spin... that is operating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocolts Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Alright then. A GIANT top spin. And honestly that's the only kind of top spin I've ever been on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The regular ones are more fun. See Kings Dominion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrypt Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The regular ones are more fun. See Kings Dominion. I wouldn't be so sure. I actually liked the amount of hang time we got on KI Crypt rather than KD Crypt, though KD's did provide more of an "out-of-control" feeling. KI's felt more immersive, which I think is half the fun, but I can't attribute all of that to Cedar Fair. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastfan11 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Giant Top Spins "crush" my future family heritage. Have Laura Croft raid that. ( with or without Cryptic/thematic elements.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I was crushed by the normal top spin restraints personally... but in the stomachI'm assuming you get crushed by Delirium's restraints too then?I, for one, don't understand these crushings by ride restraints.. #SmallPackageDelights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioRiders Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Can I just please say, for those who knock the actors, there are many scare actors who work their a$$@$ off every night to scare and entertain the masses. Until you have done it you will never know. I love being a scare actor and will be until I can't walk. To hear what we hear from people is very troubling sometimes. I will say one last thing, we have alot of "seasoned" actors but we also have an abundance of "newbies" every year, and for them they do need some time before they can somewhat perfect their craft. Thanks . "Jack" 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks . "Jack"Oh, no doubt. I volunteered one night for St Rita's Haunted House and I was over it after about an hour. It certainly was a lot of hard work. Fun, but exhausting.Problem is, everyone tries to create the Knott's experience. Los Angeles has more actors looking for work than any other place in the world. KI, Carowinds, CP, etc simply don't have that luxary. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks . "Jack" Oh yes, some of us like myself know full well the hard work Haunt is. Having done it for about 8 years myself..thanks to my knee probably never do it again so I enjoy it from a guest point of view. As Ryan pointed out Los Angeles is more entrainment based than say Cincinnati especially in acting. A lot of Knott's actors are actually....actors some of which played extras on television shows and such. LA is almost a completely different world. For Cincinnati, I'll agree KI does good but it'll probably never be Knott's or even Universal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 ^ Another interesting point... Universal Orlando. There aren't exactly a million actors in Orlando either. Some, but nothing like LA. That's offset by Uni putting a bajillion (that's one followed by 218 zeros) dollars into their haunt. It's an offset, but boy does it pay off for them. Knott's gets the better deal, though, I imagine. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Couple of my friends that work Knott's Haunt do a annual trip as a group to Universal Orlando for HHN, and interestingly enough, they rave that the Orlando park blows Hollywood out of the water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
