Someone asked MW on FB where the panic rooms will be and they are all on Main Street.

Quite a few people have been commenting about the price on MWs FB post of the announcement of the panic rooms, and a lot of them are saying how expensive it is. $80 is really steep for it, especially if you wanted to do more than one of them. But you probably wouldn't get a chance to do them all as well as the mazes, unless you paid for the fast track maze pass. The panic rooms pricing is alright if you only do one and there are 4 of you, that's $20 each, which isn't too bad. I think they will be a great experience but can't imagine them all being a sell out every night for that price.

^Oh sorry about that, didn't meant to.

Panic Rooms announced: Cirque De La Peur: You’re exploring an abandoned fun house but realise this is not a place of fun but that of fear. Psycho clowns trap you. They love a game. Watch out for their tricks. Devilution A virus has infected the human race, ‘devolving’ victims into possessed, animals. An old basement provides safe haven, but you’re not alone. You must escape. You turn to run. The door is locked... Night Crawler You and your team become trapped while investigating recent murders in the sewers. Something is lurking in the shadows, and has hidden the objects you need to get out. The Playpen A crazed red-neck has kidnapped you, believing you’re the long lost children she brutally murdered. To escape you must play Big Mama’s game. Better learn the ABC’s and remember your 1, 2, 3’s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=69&v=gO1wAnvwEOk They are $80 each 20 minutes to escape 2 - 4 people.

I don't think he was trying to debate with you either. I actually think it's good that you feel that FN are better than HHN. Good to hear that people believe MW have an event which is world class. I've never been to HHN so I can't provide my opinion and compare the events.

^So why do you prefer FN? Is it the atmosphere, mazes, scare zones, scare actors?

I think the idea of a coaster there would be good and an outback theme would probably be good, but I doubt they would do an aboriginal theme, as it may be seen as disrespectful to the aboriginal communities and they would have to get permission from them to use that as a theme for a ride.

^No I don't think so. SW have just said opening these school holdiays, and on FB when people have asked when it opens, they have replied with, at some point during the holidays. And they also said due to the rain over the last couple of days has set them back a little.

^The removal of the carnival games and signage is a promising sign that they will be reopening the ride.

Looking at this image, do people think that they will have a pathway going to around the back of the two whales? The way it looks in the image, it seems like they will. And does anyone have any ideas of what they might/could do with that land to the right where there is just sand at the moment?

Just got this email: Don't just live the terror in the maze, scare yourself senseless with a second dose of death at the Roxy Theatre this Fright Nights. Prepare to dodge Jason's blade as 13 of the most vicious kills from Friday the 13th lunge at you from the screen in an epic "R" rated 4D experience.

Where was this photo taken from?

^Thats what I was thinking. I was at the park yesterday and I didn't notice anything new since the last person provided an update.

I calculated that it would be at about 26 degrees

As I've mentioned before on here, I get scared very easily, but always find enjoyment when going to FN. Last year I did all the mazes and the WC and EW mazes were terrifying for me, and when I came out of WC I had to lay on the ground for a bit to relax. All the small details in both mazes was great and add that extra scare factor to them. Yes it would have been good to have another 2 new mazes, but at least we know that if these are of the same standard as last year, then we should have 4 great mazes, rather than just a couple. And with the extra elements they are brining in this year, i don't think it matters at all that they are bringing back mazes,

^That's exactly what I was thinking. It seems like all the rides are installed, but I would say they all/most need to be tested and all pathways need to be laid, and vegetation planted. I would say that it may be early October before it opens.

Nearmap image from September 1:

I would say that they won't be using the SDSC queue space again for a maze this year, due to the issues there were last year with the queue for the maze blocking the path. Despite the overflow queue line being used, once that was full it would flow onto the pathway and block access, without cutting though it. So by using the dodgems space for a maze it should stop any issues of blocking pathways.

It's been announced that it will be opening these school holidays. EDIT: Karla on SWs FB page has said it will be open in time for the holidays on the 19th.

^Thanks for clearing that up. Seriously how do you know this info?

Surely it wouldn't be WC and EW again, as MW said it would be 4 new mazes

MWs snap chat has confirmed that maze 2 will be in sound stage 1.

I remember a few years back a friend of mine went for an interview at DW and was told that a Disneyland was in the plans, and could have an affect on the park, which may result in the people being hired to loose their jobs.
