spooky21 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I think they should skip haunt this year, no way in hell they can make it work with social distancing. I could careless about haunt anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of mazes, just put the jump scare animatronics in places along the rides lol like if they put one in the center grass area of The Beast's helix then lit it with strobes boom social distanced coaster and haunt! The park could become one giant scare park the maze actors joining the roaming ones etc. probably have to make no boo pathways though cause well ya know some don't like being scared yet come to haunt lol edit to add: think like in terms of haunted hay rides. Distanced yet scary and fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say put them where the GP could touch them if they can touch them they are in the ride zones and in off limit areas lol. But I do know they are heavy and with weather could be difficult to place them in the grassy nooks by a ride. It was just a funny idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With social distancing policies in place, there’ll be no demand for No-Boo necklaces and Halloween Haunt would become financially nonviable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterFan3180 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Part of the reason I don’t expect Haunt mazes to happen this year is because maintaing distance from people in front of and behind you while walking through a dark maze seems hard to do, plus I don’t know how parks would be able to enforce that.

You could throttle it and make it so no strangers go in together. However this leads to another problem. I usually go alone and I hate walking through a maze alone or first. I prefer to see reactions from people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they spent the extra $ the tunnel for Racers could possibly have a couple drop doors for actors or props. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Soak City can wait until next year. I never even go to the waterpark anyway because it is usually way too crowded and the lines for slides take forever.

CoastersRZ Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Realistically, it does not make much sense to open the water park for just one month. By the time they get all the slides filled, inspected and ready to go, there simply will not be much time left in summer before school`s start ramping back up.

On the site they added an update under it just like they have done to Soak City, early ride times, and bring a friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
