Monster stomp is now rumored to be going to the festhaus trading places with the show from inside the festhaus.

Fiends or a show similar to ot is heavily being rumored to coming to Ireland. Could it be true Fiends is finally returning like how gloria did?

That is certainly a possible rumor especially given that there have long been reliable reports the the current entertainment budget doesn't allow for the full Ripper Row show but if it does I would expect a significantly slimmed down show and better then 50/50 odds that the globe is dark this year

My understanding is that the theater will be in use but I don't expect based on what I have heard for it to be fiends or even fiends inspired.

I am also picking up some very interesting information about a location for a maze that people have previously dismissed that could be very interesting on multiple fronts.

I am thinking either back in France RPT or the globe (although Im not sure about the lines there, yikes)
 
Seems noteworthy that MSoRR is pictured for the shows. It’s always possible that they were just thoughtless in what image they chose, but this seems like a promising sign that the rumors of the show’s demise weren’t true.

I would put new in quotes as I am almost 100% positive that one of the "new" houses is simply the next chapter of Nevermore. I am also pretty sure Bayou, Killdiner, and lost mines all return. My understanding is the fifth house will occupy the area that once housed Cornered.

Where was cornered? I see the quick que list one of the houses is in Italy.
 
So I was at the park about a week ago and was on the train and noticed that the crows from Nevermore were gone, as was the curtain blocking the view in the station. So, if Nevermore is coming back, where do y'all think it will be?

Cornered is to the right of the Festhaus behind darkoaster. It utilizes that parking lot over there, but was an open air house. Lost Mines is in Pompeii, and Bayou is in Festa Italia.

Not super thrilled with the idea of a new house occupying the area where Cornered was. If I'm not mistaken, that area also held Root of all Evil. And neither of those houses give me much hope that a new house will be any good. Maybe the third time will prove otherwise. However, I am very intringued to see what kind of theme they would do in that location given we've already seen a farm, circuses, and other themes that would typically go in an outdoor setting.

That location is the opposite of suspenseful. It emanates "you shouldn't be here", but not in the spooky way. It is just weird being able to approach a house and see all of it while in an industrial parking lot. They never would, nor am I necessarily saying they should, but it could be cool if they put effort into atmosphere back there. Covering up some of the backside of DK, maybe having a bit more spooky lead up than switchbacks in a parking lot where you see and hear the whole house. Either way, not a fan of that parking lot location.

I know it is controversial, but I am still rooting for a comeback of the France location one year. It was claustrophobic, but that is what I liked about it. Such a grand entryway into a tight space, with one of the best exits.

+1 but primarily because indoor houses > mixed covering houses > outdoor houses. Festa location good, Oktoberfest parking lot location bad.
