How about converting the Black Forest picnic area. It's hardly used anyways.

I'm pretty sure they run the queue for Bitten directly through that whole covered pavilion. But I do like the idea of maybe having it off the beaten path... maybe in one of the many empty fields you see while riding the train? That'll give it the campy, creepy 'we are in the middle of nowhere' feel for HOS.
 
Too bad it seems the park is intent on hiring a body builder/actor instead of an actual DJ for the role of... Demon DJ. You know, if the park could find a real DJ, They'd get the job done better than an person standing there pretending they are mixing songs together.

So why would Demon Street have to exist of this club was made? It would do what DS does but much better and it wouldn't kill the area like DS does. Best of both worlds.

You and I disagree when you say DS kills the area.

I agree last year's version of DS was pretty abysmal once inside, however...
the concept could work with proper decoration, A proper Dj, and the proper scares. The lighting in that area could be fantastic... Where you blatantly disagree with the concept as a whole, I support the idea, but lament at the idea of the current level of execution.

Also, DS is far from a club atmosphere, My idea for the club is a monetized add-on experience that is not steep enough to deter guest from trying, Is aimed purely at adults which ad several pluses to the event, while being able to turn a profit.

But why not take whatever the hell DS is, shove it indoors, and take that concept improve it. Two party areas/attractions is a bit much for one theme park.

Nope. That's an opinion and I only kind of see where you are coming from. Kind of. Mine is two on the opposite sides of the park, one completely hidden and off the beaten path purely for adults and one hybrid scare zone would be perfectly fine for a park.

Again, demon street could be pure amaze. I get the general concept of what they are trying to do and it could really be awesome.

I think you just have some sort of extreme bias against anything resembling a party.

Isn't technically a DJ just for atmosphere in a club as well? It's still a party thingy though. I might be totally missing somethig here, but DS would be a crappier, redundant version of this club. Then again, I still can't figure out what DS is supposed to be (grown up party?, kiddy birthday party?, scare zone?, environmental disaster?, warning for sinners to repent?)

I don't have things against parties, I'm just trying to figure out how DS isn't a party by your logic.
 
DS is a Scarezone with a Dance section.

DJ's are usually not atmospheric for a club. Depends on the club. Goth night at the wave, you betcha. PBR... Not at all.
 
Okay, setting aside that "scare zone" and "dance section" conflict with each other by their very nature. Why would you have a bad dance section while a much better dance section where people are not actively trying to scare you exista elsewhere? That's my question.
 
One is adults only, the other is based primarily as a scare zone in the event.

One is an Add-on to the event, the other is apart of the base event.

One has elements of a scarezone it, while the other would basically be a halloween themed club.


I'm speaking on what Demon Street could be, and it's potential to be pulled off very well versus what it is now. All these things can mold together and form a scare zone.

The dance club we have been discussing is an up-charge attraction for adults. To me (and I could be very wrong), the DS area was a terror-tory designed to feel chaotic and hellish. I think they were trying to creating a specific mood, not trying to give people who like to go clubbing somewhere to dance.

Whether that mood was appropriate for HoS is a completely different debate. Similarly, the question of execution is an interesting topic in and of itself.

I think the case could be made that not everyone shares our preference for a creepy, frightening mood at HoS. Clearly the Frat Party motif was very popular. If you accept that plenty of people associate partying with Halloween just as much as they expect scares, then an area meant to feel loud and out of control is probably appropriate. Actually, Halloween in Georgetown is about costumes and parties, not haunts and scares; and the M Street party used to be one of the biggest Halloween events in DC (until people started getting attacked).

Regardless, the existence of such a scare zone (or whatever it should really be called) does not to me seem to be relevant to debate over whether a club-style attraction makes sense at HoS.

Right, the concept was a failure and the work required would turn it into anything good requires money the park didn't have and a level of scare acting the park has not been willing to do for some time. Take DS and improve on it by putting it indoors. Have a /real/ party.
 
A replacement of the party would be great. I'm not saying the club should be DS themed, but give people who want a party something in a way that doesn't sacrifice a scary atmosphere.
 
I think you are just incapable of seeing how a DJ mixed with a scarezone could be effective. But in order to do that, the park would have to hire a /real/ Dj.

And DS would have to be overhauled...


You can have a "party" atmosphere mixed in with a scarezone, and not have it completely deplete the whole area and the rest of HOS from dying a death from lack of scares. The area that the "dancey" portion of DS takes up of the park has to be less than 1% of the total pathway. Come on. Also, It's not a bad idea to have "breaks" built into the scary atmosphere. But either way, whatever way you'll have it, DS could be executed efficiently.
