I just got back. Today they weren't too busy. I didn't do much HoS stuff, but: Curse of Pompeii (6/10): CoP needs a makeover. I've heard it's been the same since it opened 9 years ago. It was the same as last year, save for less scareactors and a new prop. Festhaus Fright Night (4/10): I hated this last year, I hated it this year. Enough said. I was going to do Masquerage, but the line was too long. My parents, one of my cousins, and I plan on going again next weekend, probably Saturday night, and we'll do everything (hopefully) and give a PTR.

Well, this certainly looks GREAT!! But, is this supposed to be set in 1987? 'Cause inverted coasters and stratas didn't come until the early '90s and late '90s.

Well don't go down anytime soon! Hanna, Ike, and Josephine are coming!

Sweet! I'm into hurricanes! Anybody in the Gulf who has to deal with Gustav? If so, watch out! He could become a C5 hurricane!

Well thanks! We get 2 new mazes and a new scareone this year!!

OVA stands for Old Virginia, I think.

I tried the same a day or two ago and it didn't work... But is that official?

Sweet, how'd you do that?

KD Hypersonic XLC BGE Wild Maus Pavillion Hurricane: Category 5 Wild Mouse Little Eagle

I knew about CP... I can't wait to find out! I just want to know when King's Dominion will OFFICIALLY announce theirs... KD is my home park.

For every park, or just KI?

No Do hurricanes interest you?

I voted Carnage 'cause I felt like it.

What fansites? I only know of 1....

King's Dominion has not put up their site yet. I don't think Great America or Canada's Wonderland have either...

SCAROWINDS: (Mazes - Scare Zones - Show) Last Laff (new) The circus has come to town and everyone is going on opening night. The crowds are huge as everyone gathers to enter the big tent. While you are waiting in line, you look and notice something different-- there are only clowns around you. As you enter the tent through the clown’s eye the music changes and the only thing you can hear are the screams of those who passed into the tent before you. You have to get out. Who will have “The Last Laff?” The Asylum (new) Meet Dr. Starkweather, but do not question his methods of treatment. His cruel tortures caused the deaths of many mentally unstable. Their bodies never to be found again. Now, spirits have been seen in dozens of the rooms; their shrill cries and tortured screams are often heard in the desolate hallways. The Starkweather Center for the Insane has it all-- cold spots, disembodied voices, and apparitions roaming the halls. The atmosphere is further darkened by a chilling history of mass death and of patient abuse. Ever since the doors at Starkweather were chained shut there have been rumors. Rumors about the patients and staff, and the chilling fact that they will never, ever leave THE ASYLUM. CornSTALKERS (new) Something awful has erupted, and Carowinds’ corn field is alive. Every night the Scarecrows cease from motionlessness and indulge in stalking. Amongst the hay and rows of corn they are still by day, but come night fall, who knows what will become their prey. Final Summons Deep in the heart of the Louisiana Bayou, an old manor stands in great disrepair—a testament to its previous days of grandeur. The Beauvais Manor served as the family home of the Beauvais family for over 100 years. The home was a place for the family to gather each year and celebrate their great heritage. As generations passed, the family outgrew the home, and many lost all connection with the family heritage that had at one time been so dear to their hearts. The only remaining member was an old maid named Aimee Beauvais. Having never married, her only connection to the family she so desperately longed for was the home. That house meant everything to her. Being alone all the time draws its suspicions. Aimee was known by the townspeople as the old “witch.” Long being accused of toying with Voodoo, many people were too terrified to even pass the house. As time passed, Aimee grew older, the house went into disrepair, and people were content to ignore the old woman. All that changed one summer 25 years ago. The town faced the worst plague it had ever experienced. Everyone fell deathly ill…except Aimee. Specialists were called from around the world, but no one could identify the mystery illness that was killing the townspeople mercilessly. It wasn’t long before fingers began pointing at the lonely old “witch” who lived in the Beauvais house. The townspeople, desperate for answers, stormed the home searching endlessly for Aimee Beauvais. Finally the mob reached the attic. When they opened the door, she was sitting in an old rocker. The room was a terrific sight, filled with poppets full of pins and wreaking of putrid flesh. They stormed Aimee, who sat calmly in her chair. There was no struggle….no sign of resistance. It was as if she was expecting them. As the crowd dragged her from the house, others rushed to prepare a noose in the yard. They slid the rope over her neck on the large oak tree in the yard. The crowd became silent. Aimee let out a laugh that chilled the air. Then, as if she had rehearsed it a thousand times, Aimee spoke these words, I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld. I will smash the doors and leave them flat. I will let the dead go up to eat the living! The dead will outnumber the living! You will all suffer! This was all the proof the angry mob needed. They quickly released her and let her lifeless body swing from the tree, leaving her there to rot. Soon after, the town seemed to return to normal. And so it has remained for the past 25 years. But on the anniversary, strange things began to happen. Things in the house began to stir. The first thing people noticed was that family graveyard was empty. All of the graves dug up, as if something had escaped. Then people began going missing. Now there are tales of walking dead! Zombies who have returned at the hand of Voodon master Aimee Beauvais to seek her revenge. All who enter this cursed place, will be doomed! Dead Inn These stories always start out with a dream. This one is no different. John Cole and his family had always wanted to open up a cozy little inn in the country. They scrimped and saved for years to bring their dream to reality. In the summer of 1963 the Park View Inn opened for business. After several months with few guests, John became obsessed with making their plan work. His obsession began to tear his family apart. Following the one year anniversary of the opening the conditions had not improved. John's wife left with their kids and decided it would be best if they went their separate ways. Losing his wife pushed John even further over the edge and he decided that he would make the Inn a success. John believed that if the inn were a success he could win back his one true love, but fate had other plans in store. Within months of his wife leaving, John began to change and reality began to fade away. He saw each guest that came to his Inn with suspicion, believing that they caused his wife to leave him. Several guests that had visited the inn simply disappeared, never to be seen again. The sheriff’s office began to investigate the disappearances but was not able to learn the truth. On October 13th 1964 John reached his breaking point. In a violent rampage he murdered 18 innocent guests who had made the mistake of staying at the little inn. Following the massacre, John walked into the front office and slit his own throat. For years, several owners tried to revive the cozy little inn, unfortunately all of their attempts failed. The story of the massacre is too well known, all of the locals call the inn by a more sinister moniker, Dead Inn. Only a few years ago the inn was condemned and boarded up. The old building that was built on dreams is off limits. Even to this day locals claim that the ghost of John Cole and his victims still roam the rooms. Within the doors of the Park View Inn history is coming alive room by room. Who will be the next victim at the Dead Inn? The Slaughterhouse For sixty two years, generations of men made their way to the outskirts of town and worked in the dimly lit corridors and bloody death rooms of the Shady Lake’s Pork Processing Plant. For sixty two years, father’s ritually passed down to their sons the secrets of how to best “stick a pig.” For sixty two years they fought against their own primal nature and tried not to “enjoy” their work of committing unspeakable acts of violence and murder upon millions of innocent and defenseless pigs. They succeeded for sixty two years…. Finally, all of the killing and torture has taken its toll on the sanity of the butchers at Shady Lakes. The pigs have now become too boring. Too predictable. Not even smart enough to hide. The crazed butchers have decided that it is time to make their work “fun” again. You are about to enter a place that you will wish did not exist; A place where your last breath is controlled by the twisted and insane. How many ways are there to die? Our butchers have decided to find the answer to that question. Over the year’s, they have become very creative. Have YOU been chosen to be their next little piggy? The Dream Factory Welcome to the famed Cedar Productions. The Dream Factory has been the home of horror for more than 8 decades starring hoards of nefarious creatures from mad scientists to werewolves. As you enter the studio you will see the scenery from some of our most famous movies. These sets only offer a glimpse of what you will see once you begin your tour. You are entering a world of terror personified. Our art teams have been working tirelessly to recreate some of your favorite scenes from Cedar Productions films. You will be joined by mad scientists and their creations as you wander through the laboratories of geniuses. Here the tortured minds of evil scientists have created some of the most horrific and inhumane experiments known to man. Reanimation of dead corpses, crossbreeding of savage animals, transplanting brains from one creature to another...there is no telling what you will encounter as you wander through these tortured halls. As you cross through the gateway of the ancient world be on the lookout for mummies who never made their journey to the afterlife. These creatures were drained of their blood, wrapped in cloth, and locked in a stone tomb. Thousands of restless years have made them hungrier than they ever thought possible...and you may appear to be a tasty snack. Deep from within ancient Eastern Europe, you will be greeted by Vampires and their familiars as you wander through their sacred great halls. These immortal creatures are the only remaining vestiges of their culture, and it has been a long time since they last encountered fresh meat. Your scent will weigh heavily on their dry palettes, so traverse these dangerous halls carefully. The full moon is always hanging over The Dream Factory but never fear, our werewolves have rarely converted anyone... usually their victims don't live. These creatures of the night stalk their territory looking for prey. With a savage heart that lusts for blood, there is no escaping their relentless jaws. Welcome to a place where a new reality is created every day. Where fantasy meets your worst nightmares. Welcome to The Dream Factory, the home of horror. Alien Annihilation For years, these woods have remained uninhabited by any humans…or so we thought. Just a few months ago, a team of scientists set out on a mission to map these woods—one of the only remaining uncharted pieces of land. What they found astonished them. Buried deep in these ancient woods were ruins too great and grand to be imagined…remnants of structures that would amaze even the ancient Egyptians. But that’s not the most amazing part. After extensive study on the ruins, it was determined that these structures predated even the earliest records of human existence. Could this mean that humans may be even older than we previously thought? Originally, the only evidence found at the site was fractures of tablet, written in a language unfamiliar to humans. This meant the only avenue for explanation of the phenomenon was the human imagination. Scientists simply deduced that the culture was one of human origin previously unknown to us. Of course, more abstract thinkers had slightly exotic theories. Recently, the situation has become even stranger. The teams of scientists previously working on the site refuse to return. They claim to have seen bright lights in the sky, circling as if planning an attack. As they fled, they claim to have discovered the most compelling evidence to date—a tablet written in English but dating to the same time of the other tablets that details plans for a return. A return from another planet to claim what once belonged to another race. No humans will be spared. This world will bow before them. All we can do is sit and wait. Wait for the time when they decide the era of humans has expired. Wait for ANNIHILATION. ---- The Cemetery (new) The lifeless inhabitants of this grave yard are the victims of a massacre—an evil raid on their small colonial village. A few centuries later, and the city is encroaching on these sacred grounds. Crowds now trample the cemetery, and the dead are awake… Feeding Frenzy (new) For the past four weeks the hottest club in town has been the “Feeding Frenzy,” located in the heart of the old docks in the warehouse district. When you enter club the pulsating beat encompasses your soul and your heart begins to beat in time with the music. The air is filled with strange scents that mingle with the sweaty bodies packed on the dance floor around you. While you are dancing the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when you realize what you smell is the coppery odor of fresh blood. You look closer…it dawns on you…not everyone here is human… The Harvest Deep in the backwoods of the Carolinas lies a small village shadowed in secrets. Several have reported that backwood-like folk have been spotted tending to this murderous land. Many have dared to investigate the supposed, chilling stories, but those who have entered into The Harvest never return. --- Dead Awakening If you believe that this world is a beautiful and promising place, then you need a Dead Awakening! This unique adult-oriented, contemporary horror and musical includes graphic scenes and disturbing activity as you witness a young lady's gruesome nightmare unfold. Presented in the Carowinds Theatre.

These immortal creatures are the only remaining vestiges of their culture, and it has been a long time since they last encountered fresh meat. Your scent will weigh heavily on their dry palettes, so traverse these dangerous halls carefully. The full moon is always hanging over The Dream Factory but never fear, our werewolves have rarely converted anyone... usually their victims don't live. These creatures of the night stalk their territory looking for prey. With a savage heart that lusts for blood, there is no escaping their relentless jaws. Welcome to a place where a new reality is created every day. Where fantasy meets your worst nightmares. Welcome to The Dream Factory, the home of horror. Alien Annihilation For years, these woods have remained uninhabited by any humans…or so we thought. Just a few months ago, a team of scientists set out on a mission to map these woods—one of the only remaining uncharted pieces of land. What they found astonished them. Buried deep in these ancient woods were ruins too great and grand to be imagined…remnants of structures that would amaze even the ancient Egyptians. But that’s not the most amazing part. After extensive study on the ruins, it was determined that these structures predated even the earliest records of human existence. Could this mean that humans may be even older than we previously thought? Originally, the only evidence found at the site was fractures of tablet, written in a language unfamiliar to humans. This meant the only avenue for explanation of the phenomenon was the human imagination. Scientists simply deduced that the culture was one of human origin previously unknown to us. Of course, more abstract thinkers had slightly exotic theories. Recently, the situation has become even stranger. The teams of scientists previously working on the site refuse to return. They claim to have seen bright lights in the sky, circling as if planning an attack. As they fled, they claim to have discovered the most compelling evidence to date—a tablet written in English but dating to the same time of the other tablets that details plans for a return. A return from another planet to claim what once belonged to another race. No humans will be spared. This world will bow before them. All we can do is sit and wait. Wait for the time when they decide the era of humans has expired. Wait for ANNIHILATION. ---- The Cemetery (new) The lifeless inhabitants of this grave yard are the victims of a massacre—an evil raid on their small colonial village. A few centuries later, and the city is encroaching on these sacred grounds. Crowds now trample the cemetery, and the dead are awake… Feeding Frenzy (new) For the past four weeks the hottest club in town has been the “Feeding Frenzy,” located in the heart of the old docks in the warehouse district. When you enter club the pulsating beat encompasses your soul and your heart begins to beat in time with the music. The air is filled with strange scents that mingle with the sweaty bodies packed on the dance floor around you. While you are dancing the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when you realize what you smell is the coppery odor of fresh blood. You look closer…it dawns on you…not everyone here is human… The Harvest Deep in the backwoods of the Carolinas lies a small village shadowed in secrets. Several have reported that backwood-like folk have been spotted tending to this murderous land. Many have dared to investigate the supposed, chilling stories, but those who have entered into The Harvest never return. --- Dead Awakening If you believe that this world is a beautiful and promising place, then you need a Dead Awakening!

Dominator at King's Dominion.

When were King's Dominion's announced?

Yup, those are it. I wonder if Cedar Point will change any of their mazes...

I went to King's Dominion yesterday. There were tons of posters advertising HH. I also saw the tent used for Maze of Madness last year is up.

Cool! I hope a Top Spin is added!

Nice job!! I like the Dive Machine! I certainly assume there will be more flats, hm?

Nice job! Can't wait for this to grow!
