You should take one of your parks and do a halloween event in it. That'd be so amazing!

Yeah Hellside is officially 200% better. And yeah I agree the new MCBS sign looks awesome! It spews out a TON of fog!

Yeah it had a tunnel. . . That's the part a lot of people didn't like surprisingly.

Woohoo! Finally it came. Valleyscare's opening day. First thing I noticed once we started walking around was the cornstalks all around the park. I loved that addition. A couple other things I noticed: -Hellside actually looked amazing! -Carnage's new entrance looked really cool -Chateau's building was COVERED in camo netting -Bloodshed's Facade looked really awesome! -The Flume is gone Also there are advertisements advertising a new wavepool so woohoo, we're getting a wavepool! Onto the reviews! Mr. Cleaver's Bloodshed: I loved this maze. Very gory and disgusting. I loved all the props, and the actors were spot on in their performances. The drop doors really got me all through-out the house. Only complaint I have is that it's far too easy to get lost/wander through an emergency exit. In fact, the second time we went through the maze, the people ahead of us (who we were following), leading us out the back of the house. We had to go back through the Cedar Gate. Other then that, I thought the actors were great, and the layout was as well! Atmosfear -:- 9 Layout -:- 5 Intensity -:- 8 Actors -:- 9 Overall -:- 8 Chateau Du Damne: Back for the 3rd year, I wasn't expecting much other then a changed exterior. Boy was I wrong. . . This maze yesterday to me was the best maze of the day. First thing I noticed was that the house had a lot more creepy looking lights. A couple layout changes, and more props made this really cool! But my favorite part HAD to be the ending! The garden/gate area was so intense I was literally scared for my life the first time we went through. If you experienced it differently, let me explain. First time we went through, after the hallway of hair, we were screamed at on the left, someone on the right (werewolf) had a bone and hurled it against the gate which was extremely loud, there were 2 people on the right above the gate reaching down at us screaming insanely loud, and a monster was chasing after us. It was the most intense experience I've ever had in Chateau let alone the haunt. Also I wanna give a shoutout to the greeter (HHScreamster) for doing a tremendous job at the door again, and the girl on the right in the first room. (Inside joke) Atmosfear -:- 10 Layout -:- 8 Intensity -:- 9 Actors -:- 10 Overall -:- 9.5 Mangler Asylum: This maze also returning for its 3rd year was alright. Right off the bat, I have to say that the greeter for the Asylum was very rude and snobby. That's one of the things I didn't like about the maze. In fact because of her, we avoided it and hit up Chateau about 20 times. Layout is basically the same, actors are the same for the most part, and yeah they did a nice job on keeping up the intensity of the Asylum last year. Not much else to say about this one. Atmosfear -:- 8 Layout -:- 10 Intensity -:- 8 Actors -:- 7 Overall -:- 8 CarnEvil: CarnEvil was sorta a hit & miss for me last night. It seemed the first time we went through, the actors were just getting close to us and not trying to scare us, but the second time, we got scared crapless a couple of times. I liked the moving heads in the dark room, and the ending was actually pretty cool too! Loved the soundtrack, but still can't remember what exactly it is. Oh well. I hope this maze gets better through-out October! Also, the clown in the little booth at the entrance has a new little *twist* on it. Watch out! Atmosfear -:- 10 Layout -:- 7 Intensity -:- 4 Actors -:- 5 Overall -:- 6 Carnage at Crimson Isle: Carnage to me was a bit of a let down. I loved the new entrance (lots better then 06/07), but there was a lot of things that were not so good to me. First off, the first room. We were in the second group that got in for the night. It was so foggy/flooded with lights, nobody could see anywhere. It was very scary, but not in the haunt sense, more like the people could get lost/hurt sense. Onto the next room we went where it was insanely foggy still. I swear it took us about 7 minutes to get through the first two rooms. Everyone was running into each other and overall it was just not fun or scary. After that, we went down the hall and into the next section. The alligator's were cool, and the guy laying on the boxes made me jump, but then we went back into the tents. This time it was strobes. Again, couldn't really see, got very congested, and people had to be led out. Final scene, only cool part was the canon (same from 06/07). Overall it was a bit of a let down, and I won't be sad if it does get removed next year like the rumor has it. Atmosfear -:- 7 Layout -:- 4 Intensity -:- 2 Actors -:- 3 Overall -:- 4 Hellside Farm: Well, just walking up the Wild Thing path and seeing the gigantic rows of corn covering walkways convinced me that this would be amazing. I was right. This maze was very cool. I had a nice couple talks with the greeter lady. She was nice. She said that it would be 100% better this year, and she was so right. There were creepy scarecrows, maniacs, farmhands, and even a slider! This was very fun, and it's just really a great experience walking through it. Word of advice though, if you'd like to maximize your experience, wait a LONG time before you enter. It's 20x better if you are the person getting scared and not the people in front of you (don't you hate that?!). Overall, 100% better than 07. Woohoo Valleyfair! Atmosfear -:- 10 Layout -:- 8 Intensity -:- 9 Actors -:- 9 Overall -:- 9.5 Blood Creek Cemetery: Blood Creek is now the only Scare Zone (which leads me to believe we'll be receiving another for 09 but I'm not gonna think about that ha). . . and I'm glad it's awesome! The atmosphere of the whole zone was crazy! Everyone seemed to be injured/dead and everyone had their game on! Props to the "Brains Brains Brains" dude. He is honestly my favorite monster of the night. Everyone in the cemetery contributed to scaring people, and despite one guy texting at around 11 (Hey I'd be tired too. . . ) no one was slacking! At one point, I saw two girls literally Screaming for their lives on a bench, surrounded by around 7 monsters all just screaming at them. Funniest part of the night! Overall Blood Creek really improved from the first/second year, and I hope it keeps getting better! Atmosfear -:- 9.5 Layout -:- 7 Intensity -:- 6 Actors -:- 9 (Brains dude rules!) Overall -:- 8.5 Overall the haunt like every year, improved! I loved all the new props, haunts, features, and monsters! Thanks to everyone for putting in an amazing effort on opening night, and good luck with the rest of the year! Onto the pics: *Picture* Caption Woohoo! Finally the day has come! Valleyscare 2008! Mr. Spider who always makes his appearance *Snarls* Yay the rumors were true! New wavepool for 09! Also returning to the park. . . the fountain skeletons!

Ever heard of Powder Keg?

Last time you went on a wooden coaster, it was most likely a fun experience depending on the coaster. The aggressiveness and out of control feeling makes it a great experience. Now I'd like to switch types and talk about your last inverted coaster experience. It was most likely very fun and unique (I mean seriously any inverted coaster is cool because you're basically dangling in the air). Now think about those two together. Wooden & Inverted. One word to describe your next experience could be one of many, but all I am thinking is. . . ouch. http://www.gordonrides.com/invertedwoodencoaster.html

Also I'd like to direct some of you towards pointbuzz.com They have some AMAZING photos of the haunt.

http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm Over everything at CP is looking incredible!

Oh I'm sorry I keep forgetting haunt wasn't around until 06. On a side note, I guess they're re-paving the Gazebo Stage so that's no biggie. I was kinda excited for that to leave. I absolutely HATE walking around the whole thing just to get to Wild Thing. Just make a path behind it or through it or something. I'll get another update today so once again. . . stay tuned.

Longest: MF at CP for about one and a half hours. Worst: Well like the worst in shape I've been in was probably either Rajin Caujin or whatever at SFGAM or Wildcat at CP. My worst experience in a line was TTD left side at night. Took me about a half hour to get to the front because everyone was cutting and it was like a mosh pit in there.

Well I'm guessing they're just doing what every park does. Act like nothing is going on & hoping it's a surprise when it is announced, but around the amusement industry (mainly online) it isn't like that Although they could be right and we aren't getting anything for 09 and the Flume is just going down so the haunt could expand right?

Um... no they weren't actually. Xtreme Swing was September 23rd and Riptide was August 23rd.

I have no idea. I asked marketing and they said they have/had no clue so yeah whenever/if I ever hear something, I'll update you all. I'm getting an update today since the park is open, so stay tuned later today.

Hey it's a fun coat hanger ride

Too late The barrier seperating the Flume & Waterpark has been torn down. On another note, there's a fairly large amount of construction over by Xtreme Swing at the Gazebo Stage so we'll keep you updated on that. But yeah I agree with you guys Valleyfair's waterpark lacks big time, and it's about time they updated it. (I personally feel like I've contributed to this happening, I've been suggesting it every year to the park for about 4 years now )

Yeah true. Although I do hope our wavepool is like that one. Theirs has an actual break in the waves and not just up and down no splash at all. Also on a quick note Valleyfairzone has re-opened the forums for discussion while we're getting V2 prepared. I posted a quick little report about the Flume's last day of operation.

Hey everyone, basically, the Flume is now being deconstructed to make way for something bigger & better! I'm finding out very soon when the announcement will be, so keep checking back! And to verify that there is construction, there are flags, marks (fairly large amount of them too. . . ), and electrical flags covering the whole Flume area, and also, if that isn't enough evidence/proof for ya, the Flume has been removed from Valleyfair's website. The rumor is at the moment that we are getting a wavepool for 09, so we'll have to wait and see. Here are some pictures for evidence/proof. Over by the Waterpark Cone over by the Waterpark Markings on the Flume Walkway Electrical Flags under the drop. Also there are currently 4 stakes, 3 construction orange cones, and a ton of markings. So basically something is bound to happen soon!

www.haunt.worldsoffun.com Updated Worlds of Fun descriptions.

Yeah, Worlds of Fun just happens to be located in the Central Time Zone, so sorry to all you East Coast dudes, they aren't going to fit your needs and announce it at the right time. They announcement is at 11 at the park, so I'm guessing they'll announce it on the website after the announcement.
