@FoolishMortal999 I think @reanimated35 is trying to figure out of those two people are on these forums or not.

And I really hope those two people aren't on these forums. Because there is nothing I hate more than enthusiast, who probably visit the parks on a regular basis, ruining or affecting visitors to the park who probably don't go often, or haven't been before. And all just to try and get the 'perfect shot'. As many people on here have shown, you can take awesome pictures at the parks, without disrupting others.

Nice to see they've themed it to TOT and not just left it as a horrible brick wall.

That's why I said, I can't imagine the amount of effort and hours that are put into making the event. I do think they did a good job this year, but compared some of the previous years, this years wasn't quite as good. And after seeing what is possible, this year in some areas/parts felt a little flat or could've been pushed even further to be made even better. I loved the conjuring Maze. I thought the improvements to Wyrmwood were great, the other two mazes were a little disappointing for me (F13 because of how awesome it was last year) but still thought they were solid. The characters in the precincts were good, and I thought the scares in Appirations were great, but the Precinct could've been bigger. Yes all these things cost more, but the amount of extra value they add to each night, and the experience everyone gets out of it would make it all worth while. But as said, this is just my opinion on it.

Wow. I'm thinking next year they should purely just focus on the things that really make FN. The mazes and precincts. The panic rooms are a great addition, along with the UTT. But these extra things like the VR, after parties and sleepout, personally I don't think are needed. Yes, it's good to see them trying new things, and if they don't work they may no bother again. I do think they did a good job with them this year, but some parts could've been better, and the precincts are a bit underwhelming at times. With these last minute announcement of additional elements, just seems that some things were just an quick idea that they thought they'd do. In saying that, I can only the imagine the huge amount of effort and hours that are put into the event, and maybe after last year (which I think is the best FN out of the ones I've been to), i set the bar to high. I had a great time this year, but feel like they could've made it even better.

Videos just realised for the mazes and the final party:

All of the blue has been removed off the steel frame of the slide. And new steel work is being installed between the existing frame

I saw that, and it's a real shame they've had to remove it as it was probably one of the best scares in the Maze. But if the actor was getting injured or touched by people then of course they'd need to remove it. Maybe in future if they want to do that type of scare again, maybe they need to have the actor higher up

Looks like the Silverwood Asylum might be no more, as its been taken of the FN website.

Agreed. And the look of the Hong Kong Disneyland's Hollywood Hotel is what I'd expect it took look like, and very much suits the style and theme I believe. I'd say either that, or a modern style.

Crazy to think that in a couple of years time, how different that area may look

DD is going under its first maintenance period from November 1st to November 5th 2016.

Cheers guys. And I checked @Tim Dasco and the last update was on June 30

There was 1 scare actor walking up and down along side the queue line of Wyrmwood at the start of the night. But when i went to do the other Maze a couple of hours later he wasn't there.

Not really. One or two every now and then, but otherwise, just smoke.

The ceiling scare was down a corridor, and it's completely black, then suddenly a light turns on and this girl is screaming and reaching down for you

From what I saw at the park yesterday, there aren't any significant changes. So there was no point in taking photos.

I feel like the animals are a fundamental part to the show, and really hope in telling the story that the shows try to convey. I think they'll be staying

Oh I didn't see them the couple of times I went down Main Street. Well it's good to know they're still there. And also, was really surprised how quick we got out of the carpark too. We were leaving at the same time as a lot of others were, and it only took a couple of minutes to get out.

I went to tonights FN, and had a great night, and surprisingly wasn't as sacred as what I have been in previous years. But I do have a mixture of positive and negatives from tonight. Didn't arrive at the park until 5:45, and had no issues getting in, and quickly made our way up to the front of Main Street. Thought the opening act for the beginning of the event was pretty good, bit different from previous years with starting with the guitarist. From there we headed through the Apparitions Precinct, which despite being only a small area, was really well done and the two guys were providing plenty of scares. Probably my favourite precinct, shame they didn't use the whole alley way, or spreader into the AA courtyard, that would've really added to it. From there we headed to the Dusk till Dawn Maze. Dusk till Dawn Maze: The queue was only about 15 minutes, as we were one of the first to get to it, and it did seem for most of the night this queue was relatively short. Having not seen the show, I didn't really know what to expect, and I did think the maze was rather underwhelming. Most of the scare actors were there in view and just walked back and forth. Despite there being a number of good spots that couldn't been used to their advantage. And it did seem relatively short too. Unfortunately this was my least favourite maze of the night. 5/10 We then headed for Friday the 13th. I will make one comment here, that it was great to see MW using more of the park for this FN. Using the WWF space and having two ways to get to the mazes out the back made the flow through the park much better. Friday the 13th Maze: The queue was about 25 minutes for this maze. This for me was one of the scariest mazes I've been through at FN last year, and was one of my all time favourites. This year however it fell a little flat for me. All of the major scenes were still there, but they all felt too shortened. From remembrance, the cave scene with Jason charging towards you. But this year it just didn't have the same impact. The maze was still well put together, and had some great scenes, but was a little disappointed. 7/10 Conjuring 2: This was the maze I was most nervous about going through, as I expected it to have some big scares in it, and I was right. This was the longest queue, being about 45 minutes, and it just seemed to keep going. I thought as soon as you entered the sound stage you'd start the maze, but nope, you walk to the other side. But that provided a pretty good build up, with the news reporter over the speakers, and the posters. And throughout the whole time queued in there it was non-stop screaming from inside the maze. There were really great scenes in the maze, one of the most memorable wad the kitchen scene, really well done and quite intense. The scare actors were great and hid in some really good spots, such as the one who's above you. The sounds really added to it, making it a great maze. 9/10. We rode SDSC, and then passed by the Gothic Hall precinct, which never had anyone actually performing on it, except one time, for about 5 minutes. The rest of the time it was just pre-recorded music. I remember last year always seeing performers there. We then went down Main Street, passing the Day of the Dead precinct, which wasn't anything special to be honest. From what I saw there was probably only about a dozen scare actors in the whole of Main Street, which was rather disappointing, as I remember there always being tonnes, and the smoke was really thick, and it was much darker so people got some really good scares, but there wasn't really that this year. The guys with the chainsaws are always great, as well as the ones with the knives. I wish they had the guys that would slide around on the ground again. And passing through the Halloween precinct, which was also fairly disappointing. Last year the Zombieland he precinct went all around the fountain and it was great. But this year it was just on the grassed areas. We made our way to the final maze, Wyrmwood. I'll also add here that the panic rooms were running tonight. It was a shame that there weren't scare actors in the fenced alley up the back to mazes, as they always used to get some great scares in the 'Zombie Alley' to the sound stages. Wyrmwood Maze: We queued for about 30 minutes for this maze, and wow what an improvement on last year. This maze was great, and had so many good scares. That strobe lighting flashing at the start really messed with you, but really added to it. All the scenes were really good, and the scare actors did really well and provided some great scares. Especially in that last scene. I think something they could add, as there are a cars in a couple of scenes, is have their horns go off, like the scene in the Wolf Creek 2 maze, to me that would just add that something extra, and provide a good scare. 9/10 There were a few disappointments this year, but as always you can see how much effort the park and designers put into the mazes, but some things fell a little flat. I don't know if its because of the construction throughout the park, or delays with maze/precinct designs. What they did well, was really great, and really added to the night. But those few things, mainly lack of scare actors in some areas, was a shame. But I still highly recommend that anyone who's gone in the past to go, and hopefully some minor things are sorted for the remaining nights. Overall I'd give the night a 7.5/10

The last night for the show is: 12th November 2016

I think it really is just a new show, rather than a redevelopment and linkage to the hotel/precinct. From my knowledge I don't think the area of the that development is known yet, a part from being near MW.

Is this what you were after @joz (The original image was 25MB, so I have had to reduce the quality down to be able to upload it) MW Map.zip

So what a few of us on here were discussing last year and thought would never happen, is now actually happening. Here's the info from that link: Think you can handle seven hours of excruciating group therapy, tests and excursions with an evil matron, unnerving doctors and psychotic nurses? If your answer is yes, then beware of failing any tasks... We have our eyes on you and your inmates and discharge is not an option until your assessment is complete. Inmates must report for admission to Silverwood Asylum at the entrance to Roxy Theatre at midnight Saturday 29th October. You will be processed and voluntarily committed at which time you become property of Silverwood Asylum until your overnight assessment is complete at 7am Sunday 30th October. Will your sanity pass the test to ensure your release or will you be held captive in the asylum indefinitely?
