OldieButGoodie Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 So it's truly NO fun to be with a group that has a No Boo necklace, in a maze. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Why the heck even go inside a maze with one of those on? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 "No boo" necklaces shouldn't be allowed, or recognized within mazes. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The only reason I can think of for the use of necklaces in the mazes is if they want to look at the scenery and environment of one without the scaring from actors (like, say, the Lights-On tour at Dent Schoolhouse), and even then that's a stretch, because if said person is in a fairly large group, does that mean the entire group doesn't get the scare? Or if a wearer has a phobia of clowns, does that mean they can walk through CarnEvil and not have to worry about a clown catapulting from behind a curtain? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon12 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I was one of the annoying boo necklace wearers last season (I don't mind being jumped at, I just can't be touched because I have this bad reaction of hitting people who touch me without my permission) and, honestly, it did nothing in the mazes, not because the actors were honoring it, but because no one could see it in time. It led to quite a few amusing enounters after the initial scare though. Sent from my LGLS660 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 The actors are not supposed to touch you, regardless. You don't need a no-boo to avoid their touching you. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Accidental touching can happen, though - on the part of the guest or the actor. Spaces in many of the mazes are tight. Those who react physically to being startled should take appropriate precautions (or avoid haunted attractions). 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon12 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 That was why I got the necklace, just to make sure no one got hurt. The actors were really smart though and were able to catch my friend off guard and give him a scare even with me beside him.

Italian Job 2005 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 The No-Boo necklaces last year were very hard to see. This year, for $8.00, you can get a no-boo necklace that lights up in the dark and turns a bright orange all the way around the lanyard. That way, even if the ScareActor approaches you from behind, they should be able to see the lit-up ring of orange light around the back of your neck. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon12 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I loved the penguin, it was just a soft glow :-) I named him Spooky Penguin and he lives on my nightstand now. Sent from my LGLS660 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 The creators of the necklaces should be having fun and make them as something other than pumpkins like strands of garlic or maybe a necklace with a glowing chicken or maybe even a yellow cat with huge, wide open eyes. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIghostguy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'm so scared to go to Halloween Haunt, I wouldn't go there even if I did buy a No Boo necklace, to be honest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Its not for everyone....and its definitely tame in conparison to other haunts for certain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 You can go and not do any scary mazes too. Just make sure you know when you're in a scare zone. Edit- but Im not trying to persuade you. Its your life 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterDirected Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I believe none of the scare zones are open during Sundays, so it should be a lot better to go then if you are not into the sp00kyiness of the haunt. I personally love haunted houses, just not at Kings Island and other parks. I think it becomes way to crowded and a complete madhouse in my opinion. I'm probably sticking with Sundays for the rest of the season unless my friends are going on a haunt night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 The park closes at 6 on Sundays now, so you're right, none of the scareactors or haunt mazes/scare zones are open on Sundays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsIsland1972 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I understand the reasoning for having or wanting a no boo necklace. I agree that if you don't want to be scared or jumped at that's your prerogative. What you don't realize is that with your glowing pumpkin that illuminates everything within 20 feet of you, you're ruining the Haunt for everyone else. This is not to be rude or insensitive toward you, but such as BLACKOUT, you're assigned to a rope and if your group gets added to another group, say 5 to 7 people, (which is not by your choice) the magic is gone. Everything is illuminated and it's not effective. It also goes for those with cell phones. "Hey, I'm in a dark maze and can't see because that's part of the attraction, so, let me be the hero and whip out my cell phone so I can ruin it for everyone else." It's a losing battle, and I know this for a fact because I hear what is said and my heart goes out to people who have their experience totally ruined by someone else acting out in a manner that's immature and sometimes inappropriate after having to wait 90 minutes. I feel if it's at all possible, which I'm not sure it is, but if you are a boo necklace wearer, then you should have a special line you get in that is for you only and either you and your family goes in together or you wait until there are several of you boo folk and you go in alone. That way it's two separate experiences for everyone. Ones who don't want to be scared with their family and those who aren't annoyed by those with those no boo necklaces and want to have the bejezus scared out of you. Those who assist others with wheelchairs or help assist those with walking disabilities to navigate the maze is 100% totally understandable. This is just MY OPINION. Not anybody else's. Happy Haunting...Carry On! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIghostguy Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yea, I usually go on Sundays in October because no mazes and no crowds! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Amazing. Kings Island is able to draw huge crowds to its park in the fall to have people stand in longer lines for $2,000 attractions than they would for a $20,000,000 attraction. Then they figure out a way to charge even more for people that want to go to the front of said lines, and then charge even more so you don't have to fully experience the attraction that you just stood in line for, or possibly paid extra to go to the front of the line of the attraction you don't want to fully experience. Brilliant. Seriously, that is unbelievably brilliant. The scariest thing about HH to me is that they will somehow carry the concept over to the regular season (Which, in a way, they have. How many dormant HH structures are now visible during the regular season?). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People paying big money for the privilege of jumping in front of others--cost to the park in investment? Very little--certainly in the low thousands--not $20 million--UNLESS lost future business is included--Question Mark or Explanation Point--(both? neither? Remains to be seen?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acfinn Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Ok so are any of the mazes even remotely scary? My wife and I decided to go out there tonight for a couple hours and walked through slaughterhouse, the one that goes through the white water canyon cue and the one that is inside the old crypt building and none of them were remotely scary. They were extremely short as well. Disappointed but may try and go out again another night to try some of the other ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Those necklaces are great souvenirs, and can be re-used when kids go trick or treating. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
