Apologies if this is in the wrong area, rather new to the forum, but I wanted to share what I believe HOS will look like this year.
Houses:
Monster Manor: Revamped, they will completely redo half or more of the maze. The reception for the maze was awful, and I don't see them keeping it without making major changes, but don't expect too much, even though I am saying this as their recent Revamps have fallen flat.
Clown Town: Revamped, the maze did relatively well, and while it had its problems, I don't see it going anywhere, especially after ACE just had a walk-through of the full maze this weekend, meaning it is still up.
Death Water Bayou: Revamped, I am probably one of the many thousands of guests who have seen the maze for too long now and wonder what could be changed after all the revamps so far but the park has only removed a max of two mazes per year in the last few years of the event and since I have already pointed towards believing that Killarney and Lost Mines will be gone that leaves very little choice but to it being revamped.
Killarney: Removed, It did well its first two years as a maze, but the last two years have seen the revamps add very little or not be received well by the general public. With the most recent revamp of it being called Condemned, I see it as a big clue that the maze was on its way out.
Lost Mines: Removed, While I would have loved to see the maze have one more chance, especially because the general theme of the maze works well inside of its venue, as they can make a high wall maze with how high the ceiling of Pompeii is. But I do not see it returning for another year, despite all of this being said.
Terror Zones/Scare Zones/Terror-Tories/People who might work at the park scaring me/What is that/Huh?
Anyway, sometimes I forget they exist, but Scare Zones remain an important part of the event.
I will keep this section short, as the houses (for me) are the main part of the event.
Kept:
Stalker Street
Fest-Evil
Scary Tale Road
Ripper Row
Gone:
The bash
Gorgon Gardens
New (Maybe??)
Wolf-themed zone?
Shows:
Kept:
Fiends
Monster Stomp
Phantoms of the Festhaus (new songs)
Skeletones (new songs)
Nothing in here can be confirmed, and it's all my own thoughts on the event and where it will be heading for the 2025 season.
