So I know it is super early for this, but the Haunt 2014 thread started around this time last year, so I figured why not start this one now? We have about 8 months until Haunt and probably a solid 6 months before we see any real announcements. That is a heck of a lot of time to speculate about what will happen in Haunt 2015.
In 2014, we lost Miners Revenge, and Medieval Macabre was replaced with the return of Maze of Madness. Some of the maze facades also received upgrades (e.g., Club Blood, Cornstalkers). The scare zones received some updates, but no new zones were added. Cornstalkers won best maze of the year, while The Lair won best scare zone. Looking through reviews, Blue Ridge was the least favorite maze (not shocking), while MoM seemed to disappoint people as well. Although, as expected, the positive reviews increased the further we got into October.
So let's start the discussion for 2015. What would you like to see change in 2015 and what do you think will actually change (big difference)?
Personally, I think a scare zone will be scrapped and replaced, as we haven't gotten a new one since 2012. Feary Tales is my favorite of the zones, but it is also the longest running one, so I think it is on the chopping block. When it comes to mazes, I would like to see Outbreak go. Never been a big fan. I'd rather they just scrap it, open FoF during Haunt, and add a maze somewhere else in the park. However, I think KD likes having the alien theme in the warehouse, so I don't think it'll happen. Instead, I think Slaughterhouse - although I love it - may be on its way out. It's been around since 2010 and seems to fall in the middle of the pack for most people. Doll Factory has been around just as long, but looks like it is more of a crowd favorite. KD may also keep all the current mazes and put one back in the White Water Canyon queue. That is a hard area to work with, but if they went back to it, I'd like to see something done with werewolves. I love werewolves and the woods are perfect for them.
So what do you guys think? We've got a lot of time to kill before we see any announcements, so why not speculate for months until we are all proven wrong?
