BB1 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I do like the batty side of The Beast too, the same for a Tibetan expedition. The attraction itself, heck it could be just a tent like the old days. (If you remember, you will know) In fact, I believe I would like a tent Haunt, possibly a campsite went wrong even. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkroz Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hmm... Maybe I'm thinking too big here, but one of my favorite of Universal's Halloween Horror Nights events was in 2002, when the event took over Universal's Islands of Adventure. Basically, as night fell, each Island became a "twisted" version of its daytime self. They embraced the park's daytime theme and flipped it. In Marvel Super Hero Island, dead heroes lay in the streets and the Marvel villains had won. In Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs were loose. In Toon Lagoon, the characters had been frightened away by "Treaks and Foons" who were disfigured, playful cartoon characters, etc. It would be kind of cool if each park's Halloween Haunt took advantage of the park's theming and stories. I mean, we've got a roller coaster called The Beast. Couldn't hurt to expand on that mythology and create a haunted house for it (though, at least PART of that haunted house would need to be in the woods, where you could hear the coaster roaring by...). It would be cool to have The Worksite back around Backlot with the police lights and traffic cones and cars, an Irish cemetery maze near / around Banshee, a dinosaur maze through part of Dinosaurs Alive, an "Adventure Express" style ancient tribal house in Oktoberfest, etc. In other words, embrace what the park already has an expand on it. Makes more sense than creating these unrelated haunted houses from scratch, right? Don't be surprised if I get myself hooked on this idea and start a new thread about it. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalefan Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 That area for Haunt would be a very bad idea seeing as how its too close to The Beast and Crypt back areas. A guest might want to look around more and get hurt unless they place a tall fence around that area of the rides. During a tour, we can't get too close to The Beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTD-120-420 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Why build a new building that'll only be useful for Haunt? A month long event? Cedar Point did this exact thing a few years ago in the Mean Streak infield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dtk1376 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Kings Island's Twitter teased something in this area today, so there might be something to the original rumor. Hope not, I'd like that area to stay unscathed. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I can only say it seems to be a permanent structure being built. But I think a wooded haunt would be cool. Who knows what will happen here. Well someone knows. Lol. Maybe we can get a better look during The Beast tour at the Big Bang Banshee event?

ThatGuy11 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 What if they are just figuring out where they will plant trees? ThatGuy, who just had to go be that guy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dtk1376 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Would seem weird for Kings Island to be making a big deal on their Twitter about planting trees. Maybe they are putting a pond over there since people always want to talk about the water that used to be incorporated with the ride, even though most that talk about it never saw it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesharrison Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Blue flags are probably the 4 corners of a building or tent. Orange/red- entrance and exit. I could see the entrance being in the back for space for queue in the access road and exit being right next to the former Beast exit. I'm betting on a new Haunt attraction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees help the environment. They also give The Beast new places to hide. ThatGuy, a treehugger. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalefan Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 If it's for Haunt, then it maybe too late for it to be for this years. It's almost July. We start hiring in August, and start in Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'm getting my hopes too far up, but wouldn't it be amazing if the building they may or may not be building was attached to The Crypt's building for a new crypt-themed Wonder Mountain's Guardian-esque ride that utilizes the existing Crypt queue? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my memory is failing me, but wasn't that area previously more treed in? I seem to recall a decent amount of trees being removed to open up that area a bit within the last 10 years or so? If that's the case, it doesn't make sense to plant trees there when they fairly recently removed some pretty hearty trees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink flags are survey markers for digging and blue indicate water mains/ lines for digging/location of... purposes. The first flag in the picture has writing on it enlarged it appears to be one of the following: ekava ekave e/cava e/canal e/cave any guesses? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
