Usually 1 or 2 are used in filming the TVC going off the previous years, they also set up some precincts (and then put them away again)

Not necessarily. The TVCs aren't always filmed in the maze itself. The Conjuring wasn't. They will only need to film stuff that requires extras and people walking around in the background. Like shots that need the park to look like it has guests and whatnot. The people featured in the TVC are hired actors.

That’s basically what I just said. All 4 (or 5 mazes) are clearly not ready to roll.

they may have 1 complete in the shed, or a couple partially complete that they can get some basic shots in. 

They’ll set up some of the precincts and film those (like putting the car on the fountain like they did a year or two back, and then remove it again)

For example.

Last years TVC. 

The shots right up until you see Michael and the girl in the closet all had extras. This are the kind of shots that they will film those nights. All other shots with actual actors and characters (e.g Valak, Michael Myers) are all done at a different time with just those select cast members.

The Conjuring TVC wasn't filmed in the maze at all. They set up a different set in the same shed as From Dusk Till Dawn which stayed there for the remainder of the event.

The car stayed that year. That's when they had the Zombieland precinct. She car shot flames every now and then as if the car had caught fire or was blowing up. 

The car went down for the TVC and was then removed and put back once FNs began. It didn’t sit there for 2 months prior to FNs

Can confirm Sat 29/9 is opening night 

I see you signed up for the TVC. Haha Or you know someone that did.

Just found this on the FN website

Must be moving it to Sea World. Everyone will gasp in horror at the attraction list. 

You mean like how the commercial for dc rivals was on TV before the track was even completed?

How long do you think it will be before Movie World announces the dates and new mazes? 

Want to organise to go. Can’t wait!!

Dates are already common knowledge... 

3 mazes have basically been confirmed - 2 returning plus Leatherface/Texas Chainsaw

But I would assume based off previous years that an announcement would be mid to late this month 

If Texas Chainsaw/ Leatherface is in the shed what do you think will be in the showstage ( assuming they will use the show stage)

Don't think they are using the show stage this year but who knows.

I mean, with SDSC being closed, they could use the queue area for a maze. Wouldn't be the first time they have done it. 

There will only be four mazes this year. 

Well that’s how many there always is... 

There has been a lot of word going around about 5 this year. 

But who knows. Won't know for sure until the website is updated.

Also, as of yet there is no scheduled down time for the dodgems over the Fight Nights event yet.

There was an interview on Channel 7 Gold Coast News for Fright Nights 2018. They said they have two new mazes this year and that one of them is going to be alot edgier. 

I'm just saying what I've heard and so are you. 

But I've learnt not to always trust the media.

I mean, after attending part of the Inquest for DW and hearing the information first hand, I now know how media can twist words and make them sound a way that they are not meant

There's a way to make money. Host a big boxing match. call it Movie World Fight Nights. Sell broadcast rights, sell tickets, sell extremely overpriced softdrink you have to refill at the other end of the park.

Any excuse to see Mundine get the snot beaten out of him.

This might be just a rumour but I've heard that it's possible the fourth maze is IT

Is IT?

The most common request I heard last year was IT, and it’s the same this year. So hopefully it is true.

Showstage would be the best location for it.
