Fright Nights 2019

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

As we are about to see construction begin in Dodgems for FN on Monday I feel it’s that time of the year for discussion to begin on this event. 

Information that has also been mentioned that has been reported yet by anyone on here is that Bikash confirmed on PCL that there will be now five mazes this year. Having another maze added to the lineup this year is a welcoming addition 👍🏻

Wow, awesome to finally hear there will be 5 mazes. Very good move, but let’s hope the standard of them will all be high and there are improvements seen across the entire event 

[Santa07]

5 mazes sounds great, but it’s certainly more important that they’re quality mazes - something that hasn’t really been the case with recent mazes such as leatherface.

[Brad2912]

Tbh I’d prefer quality over quantity. 

Last year was just an absolute let down all round imo...

I’m thinking that we will have a maze return to the show building that’s now being used for WB Showcase. If we have 5 mazes, it would make sense especially with Aquaman closing next month and the new exhibit not opening until November. Aquaman opened early December last year after FN, so it will be possible. That leaves one maze for the dodgems and the other 3 in the sheds behind WWF

Is there enough room for three mazes? Scooby queue is the other go to location.

There was last year. Halloween and Jigsaw shared a shed, and Leatherface was in its own shed.

[themagician]

The last couple of years they have had two mazes in the square shed and one maze in the longer one 

[westical]

Oh right, totally forgot last year's setup...

[Meep Meep]

Would love to see a walking dead Maze 

[themagician]

Theyve already done TWD a few times now and I wouldn’t say that series is any where near as popular as what it used to be 

[Rivals]

Would love too see the curse of the weeping woman as a maze... could be interesting and very different 

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

Very wishful thinking here...

but as it’s ten years of Fright Nights this year 

I think it would be very sick if they had an maze based on all the mazes they have done from 2009-2019 and have snippets from each maze 

 

I’ll be very interested to see what their maze selection is this year 

[themagician]

Wooding flooring has already been installed within the dodgems area in preparation for the maze

[Brad2912]

Well Bikash reckons they’ve secured the worlds best IP for FN - so let’s see...

we known he had a penchant for exaggerating but world’s best horror IPs could include (excluding themes already done):

- Scream 

- TWD (was done but 5-6 years ago) 

- AHS

- Aliens 

- IT - good tie in with part 2 due out for Halloween

I want to play a game.

[themagician]

@Archer they’ve only just had that franchise

For the fifth time?

they’ve already had it the last 2 years 

if that’s the IP that Bikash is referring to then he’s lost the plot entirely

Pipedream, but id love to see a Scooby maze. Bonus in doing it this year is that on Friday the 13th of September is the 50th of the show airing.

It would be easy for them to construct. Just a blank dark maze with a few screens here and there showing one second clips of scappy-doo. It could end with a brief flash of white light.

5 mazes?!  Wow. That’s actually great news!!   I’ve traveled from Sydney the past 2 years just for fright nights and plan on doing it again this year. So I’m rather excited!!  And with 3 new mazes.  That have to be good.  Can’t wait for the announcement.  But I’m hoping for “IT”. And just in time for the release of chapter 2!!

[ejpdtd]

To the people that are happy with the 5 mazes, did you manage to get all the mazes done last year with the queues. I’ve given up on fright nights with the past two years being horrible experiences where you can barely get anything done unless you pay a lot extra for the fast passes. 

Have decided to travel to the states and do HHN at Universal Orlando with 10 mazes.

Good luck getting anything done unless you pay a lot extra for the fast passes..

[themagician]

@ejpdtd the last few years I’ve easily managed to get all the mazes done within a couple hours, leaving plenty of time for rides, shows, etc. Last year we had left by 9 because we had done everything. So I definitely think 5 mazes will be very good.

And a very good luck to you for HHN, you will struggle even more than you do at FN to get mazes done
