What about putting VB into maintenance mode and using the show building as a house? Not sure if there's space in there for that to work...

I think that would be some kind of safety hazard even if the ride is closed. Also... it could go through DK’s series of events or becoming a house and then dying

Its not a matter of maintenance mode, but rather how much area is not a "Ride Restricted Area." While a considerable part of that ride is at a height in the building that people could safely walk under (I estimate maybe 60-70% of the floor space in the building), the park has only made a limited area in the building nor Ride Restricted, so they would have to install considerably more fencing than exists now to safely do it, plus protections from any loose articles that may fall off the ride and hit guests. They would probably want to expand it outside the building too, just to make it longer.

I was thinking with the ride taken out of operation, which sounds like a major no go

Yeah, its one thing to make a maze at a ride that no one would want to ride then anyways (Pompeii and Roman Rapids), but to shut down a ride that would be very popular would be a grave mistake.

Just do it like kingda ka and run one rotation every 10 mins while you wait for the other attraction to cycle. I’m sure it would be super effective /s.

At risk of getting off topic, I wonder if that is something that gadv knew about before they committed to building the drop tower on KK. I imagine that it was something jersey pulled after they already started building it, but that’s pure speculation.

I am fairly certain that they have separate people approving the building of rides and others handing out operational permits.

I'm respect to both Pompeii and Roman Rapids the rides are not closed down because of the mazes. Those rides could be operational during HOS but it's too cold to do it for the majority of the event. Both mazes stay up all year in the space they are in and are in areas that could be accessed while the rides are operating.
 
By 2019 I started to enjoy NBR, but I almost had to make myself enjoy it. If they replace it with a real show, I’m fine with it leaving.
