Fright Night 2014

It won't happen, but wouldn't it be cool if they did something to WWF? Make it a real ghost town and have actors jump out as the boat goes around behind the mountain. You could even have actors where the turntables are. It'd be a nightmare to operate but it'd definitely be something.

That would be cool but the reason wwf does not operate for night events eg. Frightnights, white Christmas is the fact due to the lack of lighting guest would jump out of the boats

WWF at night would be a logistical nightmare. Having actors on the course wouldn't make it much easier in my opinion. Would be very cool to see, however.

That is the only reason it could work. With actors being around every corner there would be a level of control with keeping people in boats. I'm sure the actors could police this even if it meant going out of character to fix the problem.

That would help downunder196 but could you imagine if the ride faulted and resulted in a evacuation at night

Yeah well obviously that would be dramas. Are there no lights back there what so ever?

[ispy]

Very little to none but sounds like they are making western area into a scare zone

Media Night is underway!

I'm just assuming that there will be a maze in the scooby que. They have put truss on the roof with moving head lights and its only on the "maze side". I highly highly doubt there will be a maze in a tent near wild west. there is a lot of stuff up on that concrete slab(like shipping containers and sea viper cars) so they would have time to move it all and put up the tent and build it inside. Today there was a bobcat flattening land leading up to the fire escape of the show stage. But who knows, I guess we'll find out shortly.

Another (unlikely) possibility could be in Intencity area, because in 2009 there was a clown maze in there... Has anyone looked in their lately?

[downunder196]

Do you really think they'd remove an upcharge for a month?

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

I went Movie World on Saturday and there's no tent up near Wild West Falls where the Saw Maze so either Cannibal Clowns could be in Scooby or in other half in the River Ride building which could be an unlikely since it's been used as for a maintance storage area. You never know with MW! If Cannibal Clowns is going to be in Scooby's they have to start construction either tommorow or on Friday.

Nope I went on Saturday on the Bumper Cars and there's no construction what so ever.

As far as I know the lights that are in Scooby have been there for over a month but I am heading down to MW tomorrow so I will see if I can see anything

what happens on media night? do they get to test the mazes?

[Reanimated35]

They show up, look around, say they saw some weird stuff, and that they chased it off, case closed, miller time.

Did anyone have any experience with the public transport bus after the event which I believe goes to Helensvale and then Surfer's?

I'm coming up from Surfer's so I have nightmares of being stranded there.

FULL walkthrough of Wolk Creek maze

Not that scary IMO, pretty quiet.. but this was media night so i cant really judge until I experience it myself

I assume not all the actors where inside media night.

[Zanstabar]

The themeing looked really well done. It looks as if most of the scares are concentrated in two main areas, with long gaps in between.

[ispy]

Hmmm not sure what to say about the wolf creek 2 maze based on that video I will have to wait and see for myself

[themagician]

The maze looks to have great themeing. It seemed quite long as well, or as most mazes in the sound stages usually that long? I can't really remember from last year.

I'm someone who gets scared really easily, so I jump at everything at Fright Night, but I enjoy them (even though my heart rate is very high for the entire night). So this maze will make me jump, but judging from that video, I'm expecting the others to scare me a bit more. Looking forward to it though.

Update went to mw today no work on the scooby maze but the lighting rigs on the roof. I would highly doubt they will have a maze in there this year only 7 days to go seems impossible to me. I bet they have us all fooled and the maze is already set up in a new area maybe over in the studios

There was nothing much to darkness last year, just a bunch of wooden walls and a few curtains put up. It could easily be done, just look at the HHN's clown maze. It's not too extravagant with theming but it gets the job done. Don't be surprised if it is used.

[themagician]

One thing to note is that SDSC is scheduled for maintenance on from the 3rd to the 5th November. Im thinking that this will be the time when the maze will be taken down, if there were to be one in there.

[Brad2912]

Why would they close it to dismantle the maze if they didn't need to close it to construct it?

[themagician]

^I don't know, just stating possibilities.
