Last year it was about the end of August, with filming for commercials done in mid August.

Do you think the post is a hoax or that it was taken from last year but they just decided to post it now? 

They would of had to of signed a confidentiality clause which would prevent them from revealing anything OR posting anything on social media. 

Hey Everyone here is the post just so everyone can view it.  

In the waiting area at 11pm?

That was probably posted after they have finished filming for the night. Or something? 

^ or maybe none of this even happened?

Well we dont know do we I guess

It seems a little early to start filming ads for FN, but I suppose depends on how big of production it is.

Maybe they are just sharing a photo from a previous year, they could have just come across it in an old FB album or desktop folder and decided to reshare it. There's nothing to suggest that's where they were at the time they actually posted the pic online. It's just describing where they were and what they were doing when the photo was taken, if you know what I mean. 

The comments also pretty much clarify that it was a past event, not a recent one ?

ETA: looks to me like the actors featured in this ad... especially the older lady, who is playing the creepy old mother (maybe that's why they are now refer to her as 'mumma bear') ?

I agree with you @Theme Park Girl, The comments on the photo seem to suggest that it was an older photo, more than likely from last year. It is way too early for them to be filming right now.

I will try my best to use my selfie stick for the very first time and see what's going on over the wall, 

They still allow those in parks here? Guess that's another thing to add to the list of things I miss from the US parks, security confiscating them from people when entering.

Has anyone noticed anything else in the park that's fright nights related?

It's still almost 4 months out. You won't see cosmetic changes for a while yet...

Which is why I'm really confused they have already begun on one of the mazes...  Taking out an attraction (sure it's just dogems but they are always busy when we are there) for 6 months...

My guess would be with the unavailability of the studios the design and production process for the mazes may be more time intensive than previous years, so they've knocked one maze off early in an easy location to get the ball rolling 

Whilst we already knew it, further confirmation today that Thor 3 will film from July 4 until late October, and they have exclusive use of the entire 9 sound stages during the production period. 

confirmation from....?

Not doubting - just wondering where the info came from...

Long ranging article on GCBulletin about the Thor Production, shooting locations etc. 

Usually would have posted/quoted it but it was a massive article and copying/pasting from my phone is a pain in the proverbial. 

Here that part of the article explaining this: 

Production crew members have been going hammer and tongs for the past few months to get the film’s epic array of props, costumes and sets, said to include several spaceships, ready for July 4.

The State Government helped fund the new $16 million 4000sq m Sound Stage 9 on the Oxenford studio lot, with construction fast-tracked to ensure it was ready in time for Thor.

While a large share of the film will be shot on giant indoor sets, the shoot will also visit various locations around the region.

As this first look at one of the gothic-inspired sets being built on the studio lot shows, Marvel is being treated to more of the marvellous craftsmanship local crews delivered Disney for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

While Dead Men Tell No Tales shared the Oxenford lot with the cast and crew of Netflix TV series Mako Mermaids, Thor: Ragnarok will have exclusive use of all of the complex’s nine sound stages.

Cheers. thanks for the info.

Just a question, do you think we will get another "icon" like the ringmaster and gang? If so what would it be or will the ringmaster return?

@Cooper Olsen I think it will be the Gatekeeper who has been the FN icon now for two years return who will be this years icon for FN

do we think we will see the Panic Rooms return this as well? I remeber doing The Playpen room and managed to get six minutes before the timer stopped..

Last year, Aussie World used the Ringmaster for their Halloween event so idk what happened there but it seems to me VRTP don't own the rights to him if he's at Aussie world.
