Don't even know why I bother, but can I just explain that if you've signed a contract saying you can't say, then leading people to the answer and then basically telling them they're right is still violating the contract!

not very smart sir

Some more images from the Snapchat Hype Train

The first image gives me a real cannibal vibe. Was thinking Texas Chainsaw, but I doubt a bunch of southern rednecks would be down with the mason jar trend. Maybe "Hills Have Eyes" like someone suggested earlier?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Texas... a southern state... a confederate state.... a state that has a place called MOONSHINE HILL wouldn't be down with the mason jar trend?

Do you think Mason jars only became a thing recently?

The south STARTED the Mason Jar "trend" out of necessity - what else were you supposed to store Moonshine in for shipment?

 

That said - the jar itself looks MUCH bigger than a mason jar.

[Zanstabar]

I think I might not have chosen the right words for what I was trying to say.

 

I don't see Leatherface storing cuts of human flesh in a giant mason jar. I think in the film they showed a lot of meat lockers, so that's what I would expect.

[HorrorGod]

I have a feeling it is a cannibal maze such as The Hills Have Eyes or something etc. 

[Zanstabar]

Just wondering, what does everyone think that the best Fright Night's maze of all time is?

Evil Dead holds a special place in my heart, so that is definitely my pick.

Evil Within was mine Evil Dead is equal too it in my eyes

The Evil Within for sure! I loved that maze last year and just outdid Evil Dead which is my second favourite .

Evil Dead and the Film Vault

they could bring evil within back

[FoolishMortal999]

My favourite maze was Hillbilly Slasher 2 and the darkness

^I can't tell if you are serious or not 

[Zanstabar]

I just had a thought. 

Last year on the behind the screams tour they said next year there will be a maze based on a new game serious from the same developer as Evil Within (I did Google it but can't remember the name). Nothing has moved up on the grave yard (storage behind Wild West falls) will keep an eye out for anything up there.

Now, while not a new game series, the founder of Tango Gameworks (Shinji Mikami) is known as the grandfather of "Survival Horror Games" thanks to his involvement in creating the iconic Resident Evil series of games.

In the original game, the setting is an estate know as Spencer Mansion. Looking back at some of the photos of the construction in Intencity, it's quite clear that this maze is going to be set in some lavish estate of some sort. 

If lifeofsamage is right in that we will see another video game IP this year, could this mean that Resident Evil is one of the mazes this year?

I mean, every maze was really well done. Actually, I'm going to throw WC2 in there too as well as Clowns. I forgot to add last years too.

What if it's Texas Chainsaw or Woman in Black ?

What if it's Texas Chainsaw or Woman in Black ?

It could be anything. It's all speculation at this point. 

Texas Chainsaw doesn't sound likely for this location (Intencity). The maze clearly doesn't reflect the southern architecture found in the film series. I don't think Chris Grew and the team would mess something like that up.

Brad2912 summarised my thoughts on the likelihood of the "Woman in Black" a little bit earlier

"it's likely, but I don't think it will be. It's not likely, but it could be."

Resident Evil is in the same boat. There's some information that says it could be but there's almost information that make it seem unlikely.

This is very true. The Maze Design team are very good at what they do. It's like walking on a movie set ( in my opinion) but the maze theme doesn't necessarily have to relate to its surrounding architecture. Look at The Ripper Maze. Inside, it was set up as Old London and outside it was Hillbillies. It was a really great concept - you get chased by Jack the Ripper on the inside and when you get outside and you think you're okay, the hillbillies scare the absolute daylights out you. And Texas Chainsaw/ Southern surroundings kinda go together. It's possible that the house in the maze is the mansion that the grandmother left to the main protagonist in TC 3D

That's a pretty good point. It's something I've noticed with a couple of mazes in the past. The difference between Ripper last year and this unknown maze is the fact that the facade of the show stage is permanent, while this mansion facade is just for a maze. Why would the team purposely design and build a mansion facade if the interior is going to be themed around something completely unrelated?

Just quickly went to MW and the car over the fountain has now been removed.

I think the mansion is related to the maze ( obviously) Watch Texas Chainsaw 3D- Heathers Grandmother ( who was related to the sawyer family) left the mansion to Heather in her will and in the basement there was Leatherface in hiding. This is just a random hunch though but I must say I think it's a bit disrespectful for someone to take photos of something that at this point is off limits. There are reasons why they have walls around it and I don't think it's fair on VRTP.

That doesn't sound good to me.. I hope it's just a quick refurbishment 

[themagician]

^I would say they only installed it for the recording of the to commercial. I would say that they will put it back in place when I gets closer to FN starting.

[FoolishMortal999]

 

Gold Coast Theme Parks posted this on FB: 

The first dates for this years Fright Nights at Movie World have been announced. These are the 2nd, 9th and 16th October. More dates will be announced very soon.

This has got to be incorrect. Fright Nights is usually a sold out event and MW has had to add extra nights in November ( example: 2006 & 2013), I  doubt they would exclude the first three Saturday's of October. 

Is the fountain itself operating ?

^I would say from that post they meant that they are some of the dates, but more are to be announced. I read something on FB that for the people who went to the Rv commercial recording last week got a free ticket to FN on one of those nights. Id say that's where they got that information from.

And yes he fountain is operating

[Reanimated35]

My money's on these dates as I think that's how it worked last time. Then an extra day in November.
