SonofBaconator Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I'm wondering if the train will make it on the haunt roster for next year. I thought it would be cool if they expanded on the Mystic Timbers story and had a live show right by the old western town. 5 Quote

That would be a good show, and would definitely be a good addition to the theming of the ride. Definitely would want to see it if it ever came to be! 2 Quote

As far as I am aware, they could technically use the same exact route on the train Haunt, and just use the new exit/entrance as the walk back. Unless for some reason MT is now blocking the old entrance to the walk through. Seems like a cool opportunity to mix the two! 3 Quote
Mystic.Timber1 Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Im hoping they either add more general decorations or a new scare zone, I feel the scarezones are just as much as the mazes. 1 Quote
pkifreak23 Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 I can't remember off the top of my head but someone said on Facebook we are getting two New attractions at haunt! They heard it from one of the speakers at coasterstock. Edit: Found the post it was KICentral lol They also said there are 2 new skeleton keys! 1 Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 That was me. I posted it in the Coasterstock thread as well. Quote
pkifreak23 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Less than 100 days til haunt! Anyone wanna share their ideas on what they think the new mazes will/should be and what mazes you guys think will go. 1 Quote
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Oddly enough, when the wife and I stopped by the park yesterday evening, I was already thinking about how excited I was for Haunt, though I shouldn't be since that means the season is close to being over. We discussed it a little and both agreed that we hope they do something to spice it up a little since it seems to have gotten a little stale in some of the houses. 2 Quote
ki95 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Posted July 19, 2017 I can see us getting a Mystic Timbers themed maze and/or Scare Zone. 1 Quote
D-Back Fan Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 At Coasterstock Lance Heal had made some reference to one of the mazes being "high" or needing to "get high" with it. And all I could think was "please, please bring back the asylum at the top of the Eiffel Tower, (it was a part of Fearfest, not HH)! I would also like to see us get the zombie hunter up-charge experience that Knott's Berry Farm has had for the past several years. 1 Quote

What would you like to see return, leave and premier at Haunt this year? I'm anxious to see the decorations.

beastfan11 Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 I'm curious to see extent of Halloween Haunt this year with Winterfest. I have fond memories of the last day of Fear Fest '05 and seeing Christmas decorations up in Rivertown. I wonder what the time frame/logistics are of redecorating the park that quickly. 2 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 They have a week longer break to do the changeover between Haunt and Winterfest than there is between regular season and Haunt. And there aren't (apparently) any private events to prevent work on the weekends. On the other hand, weather is more likely to cause trouble in November, and they might not do as much of the work prior to the break as they tend to do on Haunt before the break. I'm also interested to see the logistics and extent of each seasonal event this year! I'm fully confident in the ability of the park to put on two wonderful events! Can't wait! 4 Quote
ki95 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Posted August 18, 2017 I bet we're going to get a "Holidays of Horror" SZ somewhere in the park. Also, I'm just going to leave this here... https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/haunt/attractions Looks like SH is gone (I wonder if BB is going in it's building since the Winterfest decor is in the gardens) & pretty much the only thing new this year is a SZ which is TBA. 1 Quote
pkifreak23 Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Did anyone else notice this today! This was listed under the cemetery drive picture in scare zones. Maybe a new maze or zone! What do you think about it if it is? Quote

I am excited to see how this turns out! It also, for gamers out there, reminded me of BioShocks masquerade party. 1 Quote
Beerman_IPA Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 This looks exciting! https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/haunt/attractions/wasteland 1 Quote
JubJester Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 I really like the sound of these new two scare zones. I think it's great because it allows some mazes that lack (like Urgent Scare and Board 2 Death as mentioned) to have a bit more scare actors. I do think two scare zones will add more of a Haunt feel to the park. Here's the descriptions and photos that are up (in the link shared in the post above) Quote
D-Back Fan Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 The changeover shouldn't take too long should it? It should just be general decorating except for the scarezones. Most of the haunts have their own buildings/areas now, so they can have the freedom to work throughout the year. Plus, I gotta believe it can only help with the 3 week changeover for Winterfest. I am so excited for this haunt season! 1 Quote

D-Back Fan Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 When I was in Attitudes a few weeks ago they had the door to the back room open and it was all merch, a few stuffed animals and garbage. I didn't see anything haunt-related, (set pieces or props). 1 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Even when the two new Scare Zones were still missing from the list (and Cemetery Drive was still included, so it looked like there were only two Scare Zones), the text of the website mentioned ten Mazes and three Scare Zones. There were eleven Mazes last year so it wasn't just a matter of reusing the text as a placeholder. There are currently ten Mazes listed as well, so I'm not surprised there are no signs or plans to host a Haunt Maze in Sorority House's former location. I think that's the final list as far as Mazes. 1 Quote

They'd still need to use it for merch. 1 Quote

Looked to have a bunch of crates on the stage. I am also really looking forward to the beginning of Haunt. One, if not the best, times to visit the park in my opinion. It's great for night rides and is so much cooler. 1 Quote

MDMC01 Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I wonder if there will be any special effects (such as lights or projections) that will involve the tiles... 1 Quote
