I have a couple of times with Captain Cold on a hot day so they can squirt their friends... But realistically I had to pay my money to be able to use it so they should too... -

A couple of kids were doing this on Saturday night since the C2 maze exits from the old entrance to the show stage... If you weren't paying attention you were not going to have a good time... -

I usually put in what looks like a big effort in swinging it over so that when people who don't have the bracelet try and put in effort and nothing happens there is a bigger laugh... I have seen the silver capper lift and jam quite a lot though... -

Anyone that recorded the opening and closing... Chucking together music from the night... I know that in the opening there was: The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden The riff for Thunderstruck - ACDC At the closing there was: Selfie - The Chainsmokers I think there was a bit of Freaks - Timmy Trumpet Can anyone help with video or song titles for others that were used? -

That pic was just after the Rise of the Dead... This was just before it... This was middle of the night... This precinct was well lit most of the night... My wife liked this area as she felt safer here with not so many spooky things happening... -

Was saddened when we went to use this last night yet the mallets had been removed... Sure it would have looked great at night ? -

Now that I have some time... The last "Fright Night" I went to was their Family Halloween Night in 2006... Apart from not having much memory about a decade ago other than there was one scare precinct in the Chinatown alley area I have no previous experience at the current incarnation of Fright nights... Sort of a Fright Night virgin... And was extremely proud to lose that on the first night... As expected there were some teething issues being the first night but overall these did not detract too much from the overall experience... I will say here overall I was very impressed with the event but time to give my honest thoughts without giving away too much... After getting to the Terror Lounge and listening to the opening remarks headed over to the opening briefing for the scare actors... Was interesting to sit in on and find out a little more about the information and procedures for them... Also gave information I could use to help reassure and calm down my wife multiple times during the night... Timing was an issue here despite being told we were early at the beginning... I think this comes down to being the first night of 2016... Priority viewing area for the opening... Yeah... No... Let's shove you here in front of these people... Thought perhaps they were leading us up to the stage used for the dance during the day for a better point... After the opening I found my wife and friends who were attending but not on the UTT and we headed to the C2 maze... Managed to get there pretty quickly and chose not to use my UTT pass to skip the queue and enjoy this one with friends... Only waited about 15 minutes for this... Having watched the movie I was really impressed with the theming and accuracy towards the movie with several moments captured almost perfectly... Wont spoil anything for others but felt that the last few rooms really upped the ante... This is where I ditched my wife and friends for the first time of many and headed into the C2 Terror Room... Had a great chat with the tour guide there about the process they went through in design and production as well as getting the opportunity to scare some of the people currently walking the maze... From here headed to have dinner before doubling back to the F13 maze... Always been a fan of the earlier F13 movies so really enjoyed this maze... I do feel it could have done with more space as it was in some places hard to think you were supposed to be at the lake but I guess that is always the problem with a walkthrough experience... After exiting headed straight into the F13 Terror Room... This one was a lot of fun with the scarer in the room you could view interacting with the Terror Room occupants as well as the people walking through the maze... Spent the next half hour wandering the park enjoying the atmosphere and looking at the precincts... Of course I love this side of the parkz so just watching the scarers interacting with guests, the extra theming that had been put around and the overall atmosphere was something I was absolutely immersed in... Precincts: The Halloween precinct (despite being labelled as the fountain area) was really the grass area in front of Superman with generic scare actors hanging around the fountain... Day of the Dead precinct as many have mentioned had a Carnivale feel to it... This is something that had been mentioned during the welcome but that they had gone with a scarier feel... While this is true I don't feel they quite went far enough with it... Apparitions was sadly a bit of a let down... 2 people who looked homeless grumbling and lunging at people as they walk past... Not much more to say... Gothic Hall had some great music playing during the night but everytime I walked past there was no one there... May have just been bad timing on my part... At this point it was time for my Terror Tour... Didn't know what to expect here but it was a nice little novelty... Was easy to predict what was going to occur for the most part but the moment everything started to happen worked well... Quite a few people as we were walking out were asking is that all... Took this chance to head up the back to Wyrmwood... I was impressed with how they managed to pull off the feel of being outdoors while obviously inside... The scare actors really got into it and there were almost constant screams from the group of girls behind me... Considered FDTD but passed on it as I really have no knowledge of the source material... Took another quick wander through the park and then it was time for the Rise of the Dead... Great opportunity to get some snaps with some of the actors before a quick dance party and then wandering out for the night... From information of previous years we came prepared with an esky of drinks in the back of the car to wait out the mass exodus from the carpark... Finally left around 11:15pm TL:DR - Overview: Mazes 1 - Conjuring 2 2 - Friday 13th 3 - Wyrmwood N/A - Dusk til Dawn Precints: Rather underwhelming across the board... Terror Tour and Rooms: Tour was a great little novelty... Rooms were probably where I was most enjoying myself... Given when I was handed my info was told only C2 and F13 had Terror Rooms was a bit disappointing to read here that there was actually rooms for the other mazes as well... UTT: Great with the ability to head in and out all night for the drinks which were much needed as TPG said with dry mouth most likely to all the smoke... Meal was okay but this would partly being due to allergies I could only have roast potatoes, roast beef and ham. Selection for deserts was poor, again as TPG states too many sweets needed a bit more variety... Jumping the queues definitely made this worth it on its own despite only doing 3 mazes and no rides... Given one of the points they advertise when purchasing was "Behind the screams: Meet our maze designers, see how characters are brought to 'death' via our makeup team and meet some of our deadly cast for photo opportunities" this really did not happen (meet cast did but was rushed due to timing) and was actually the biggest thing I was looking forward to for the evening... Was it not the first night and knowing there were going to be teething issues I would have rated the night as a 6/10... However taking that into account and remembering I have not been in recent years so cannot compare it to anything so am judging this completely stand alone... I would give it an 8/10... -

Having not been for 10 years I have nothing really to compare it to... For me there was really only two things I was disappointed about... More info when I get more than 10 minutes away from work... Being the first night there was going to be some teething issues but overall I really enjoyed the evening ???? -
I would like to know if anything of a larger mens size would be available or if there would be the possibility of specially ordering a sizing... Hell I would be happy to be able to purchase the logo as an iron on to apply to a shirt that I would be able to wear... (Talking 4XL - 6XL depending on brand or style)...

If we were taking it seriously we would be agreeing with the OP... We are pointing out how many reasons there are it is not what the OP is claiming it is... -

Well if (as many here seem to feel) that it is going to have a Flash theme... What other colour would you choose? -

Just looked through MW posts from last year on FB... "the panic room experiences are $79.99 per room booking, not per person. So if you get 4 people in the room, it would be $20 per person. Zoe from Movie World" :-) -

Transcraft is an American manufacturer of the Transcraft Eagle 2 flat bed trailer... Hence the American flag... I was able to find a couple of sites where they do price them in AUD for purchase so that could be a possibility still... Close up of the number plate of the truck sadly couldn't find anything with a search... 57711 A But the mudflap does have Las ????? (I read Vegas but meh)... And a phone number in the 3-3-4 configuration which is again American... Why would you ship a truck out to Australia when you would then have to get permits and such instead of just arranging one of the many companies here to do it? Also looking at the barrier behind the track pieces... I don't recognise that from anywhere along the M1 southbound... That and like the steering wheel it's on the wrong side... -

Sure there is... At the bottom between the two inversions... The third just gives it a chance to get more speed going and the peak is instead at the top while inverted...
