Jew Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 ASYLUM ISLAND - Oceans of Fun -- RANKED #1 ASYLUM in the chain for 2007 by Dick Kinzel I don't even remember hearing about (or seeing) Dick Kinzel visit Haunt last year. Nor does his opinion really mean anything. Everyone knows Asylum @ Haunt sh*ts on all the other ones. Aside from the bad location, it's definitely one of the creepiest mazes in the history of Haunt. And the talent kicks major ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefallbestrideever Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 If my uncle doesn't take us this year i'm going by myself I've only been through 2 mazes, one being The Asylum ^ and yes it does kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the ghost Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 First of all i got this off themeparkadventure.com which although it is not a good theme park site is the best for halloween haunt. Now onto Vffreak's maze descriptions. Grudge 2 was a very elaborate maze based off the grudge. You walked through the haunted grudge house wth grudge girls everywhere. They also used many mechanical special effects to make this maze really good. Assylum pretty uch speaks for itself but you go into the Mangler Assylum and walk through dark halls with crazy patients and staff. There is a lot of blood and gore in this maze which makes it cool. Tied for my favorite maze. Feary Tales is not a very good maze for scares but if you are looking for interesting his maze is very artistically done and because you have to walk through FT. to get to the Assylum so it is worth it. 13 Axe. Murder Manor is a really cool maze and even though I dont know exactly what the theming is. The year before I thought there was a specific storyline until I was chased by a werewolf and like an alien. Anyway this is tied for my favorite with the assylum. Lost Vegas is just not very good but fun to do if you are bored or scare easily. The other mazes I have been on are either gne or i did not have time to go into them. Joey I was wondering if you had any info on Killer Klown Kollege and where it is located because I dont know where they could put it near accelerator. I am also interested in All the Other new mazes Particularly Beowulf Labrynth and Doll Factory Is there any pyro effects in pyromaniax Also i know u work there so what do u have to do to audition. These questions are open to anyone who has info THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 No, that doesn't happen. They just ask you different scenarios, like: What would you do if a guest hit you? Or What would you do if a guest started yelling at you? I work at a theater and stuff like that happens every once. I would like to yell at them and be like, "Bitch, get the fuck outof here." But I gotta be honest, I really have no clue as to how I'm suppose to react, so I just try and get away from them. People are mean and I can't do anything about it. So in response to recieving that question I'd be like, "I don't know.. you tell me." Anyways, i'd like to get a job at Haunt this year, but since its seasonal, I'd have to see if my other job will hire me back once I'm done with it. If not I might just have to move onto something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 ^^You won't get hired for a monster spot if that's your answer. At least not for the first week or two (I'm sure that will pass by week 3 when they are desperate for anyone...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I can't wait to see all the haunt responses for this year, as well as to see as which haunt comes out on top. (Knotts most likely) Is video recording allowed in the Knotts Haunt? Or do you have to have permission like at most parks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerxeyez Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Asylum is the best! Lost Vegas was horrible! Oh man! I can't wait til October!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dino Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Can't wait for the haunt. Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday. Haunt is kind of "my" thing I do with my friends cause I'm the one who got them into it. Sad to see Terrorvision go but it is time for a change. Glad their not promoting the temple of sacrifice thing in the jaguar queue, was usually more annoying than scary. As for the mazes; Beowulf: Never read it, don't know what to expect. Pyromaniax: Sounds like it might be cool for the log ride even though red moon massacre is a favorite of mine. Doll Factory: Sounds like a promising theme. dolls=freaky Killer Clown College: Sounds scary but that might be because clowns kind of freak me out. Wonder how there going to put that by accelerator. Black Widows Cavern: Probably going to be much of the same stuff from the previous "army of the underworld" or whatever it was. Still good though. Lore Of The Vampire: An ok maze made much better by the hot chicks in it...even if they are dead. Asylum: Always great! Wouldn't hate it if they keep it there forever. Red Beards Revenge: Ok maze, like the way it seems all creaky and old. Feary Tales: Not a favorite of mine...just ehh... 13 Axe Murder Manor: One of my faves, seems like they always scare me the most in that one. Grudge 2: Pretty good maze even though I never saw either movie. Creepy but the theming seems a bit odd now. Lost Vegas: Didn't like this one, not many monsters and to open. The only cool thing in it was the bad puns on hotel names and stuff. Dark Realm Lazer Rage: Good idea! Bad maze though. If you can even call it that. Kind of like half indoor/outdoor type thing. Seems like they were going to make another maze but just didn't have enough materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Joey whichj maze r u working in? Maybe I will see you there because I will be going with a bunch of my friends because we love the haunt. Too bad that they are killing H.H. and keeping lore but I guess that maybe killer klown kollege will be slightly like hatchet.

the ghost Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Also the nre mazes better be promising because terror vision and Hatchet are both gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealTinkerbell Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 How can the Grudge me turned into a haunted house? Can someone describe it please? Coming from a person that works at a theme park and requested not to be scheduled during HHN because I'm such a scaredy cat, I would have to say that the Grudge maze was one of my favorites. Basically you see the girl everywhere you look, but there are some cool elements like you get to walk through her hair(well, I didn't because I was crawling mostly) and they had some crazy people crawling up on walls from what I remember.

Corkscrewed Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 decent YouTube vid for The Grudge 2 maze: Skip to the 2 min mark for the start of the actual maze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Yeah I saw that. It does look really lame, but the stairs part with the girl climbing down does look a LOT like the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 This year will be my first haunt visit and since I'm moving to SoCal it won't be the last! It's going to be great having such an amazing event only 20 minutes from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Any more info on this haunt so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curly Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hopefully the log ride is actually up and running by Haunt, seeing as its been down since Feb/March and still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 ^ I hear ya on that, I only got on the ride once a couple years ago and it's one of my favorite rides in the whole park, I've missed it twice this year in the spring and summer. My next visit will be for Haunt so let's keep our fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatleBen Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Here's my take on things for 2007. BEOWULF - LABYRINTH INTO DARKNESS: I honestly don't know what to expect having only read the book years ago. PYROMANIAX: Finally a new theme for the Log Ride. Sounds awesome and out of the new ones for this year, this is the one I'm most looking forward to. Fire!! THE DOLL FACTORY: Sounds promising albeit a somewhat narrow theme. Hopefully it'll be creepy with a bit of a Toy Story (a la Sid's house) twist. KILLER CLOWN KOLLEGE: I have no idea how they're going to fit this maze in. But it'll be nice to have the clown theme back because I love clowns! BLACK WIDOW'S CAVERN: Well, there was so much old Curse of the Spider stuff in the Mine Ride last year. (I know because I worked in it.) So I'm expecting it won't be much different this year other than a name change and any other subtle decor changes. LORE OF THE VAMPIRE: Ugh! JUST GO AWAY ALREADY!!! I'm so sick and tired of Emo vampires. THE ASYLUM: Same as usual. Great, creepy maze. RED BEARD'S REVENGE: I always enjoy the pirate maze. FEARY TALES: Haven't really gotten any scares in this maze. Really like the theming though. 13 AXE MURDER MANOR: One of my favorites! Glad to see it back. THE GRUDGE 2: That was so last year. LOST VEGAS: It was a let down last year. Maybe they can redeem themselves this year. DARK REALM LAZER RAGE: Boring and dumb. Yeah, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I see how they're fitting in the Xcelerator maze. It looks pretty cool, but honestly, couldn't they have just put a maze in Johnny Rockets or coasters or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingbooba Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I see how they're fitting in the Xcelerator maze.

ECZenith Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Oooo I hope Beowulf is an actual "MAZE" maze, those are always the best compared to most haunts that don't have any actual dead ends, WAY scarier that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheat Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I see how they're fitting in the Xcelerator maze. It looks pretty cool, but honestly, couldn't they have just put a maze in Johnny Rockets or coasters or something? No, thats not really very big. And besides, they can make money at those places so why close one for a maze that in a sense makes no money. So under Xcelerator seems like it will work just fine, the maze will just have to have a VERY loud soundtrack a la TerrorVision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
