There's probably not going to be any real signs of HoS until August, outside of the teasers online. Nothing physical will be noticeable until much later.

time clocks have nothing to do with it, any tm can clock in/out at any clock no problem
try cost centers, those are unique to actual locations, their just numbers tho

Cost center is what I meant. And I'm pretty sure Wendigo doesn't use the Train Op cost center. Otherwise when people started getting "Train Op" they would have just said "looks like I'm in Wendigo" instead of the whole scare community being as confused as we are. I could be wrong or things could have changed, though.
Also, one can't clock in/out just anywhere. If someone were in, say, Deadline, and they clocked in at Festhaus or anywhere besides Pompeii or England, they would get a warning or written up.

I miss it :'< early 2000's Halloween cheese is totally my aesthetic. Bring on the smell of plastic and cheap latex! And lazer shows! Halloween isn't Halloween unless it looks like it came from a thrift store (jk).
Also, does anybody remember seeing some weird bloody dog monster prop thing by the swing set in New France circa 2004? It was hiding in, like, a barrel or something. Maybe it was just my imagination as a little kid. It looked like some sort of animatronic or puppet though. I know it's not the troll I'm thinking of, it wasn't that big. All I remember is that it looked very out of place for what it was (as a lot of their props did) and it's been bothering me for some time.
They had a St. Bernard dog animatronic in a barrel in that section. However, I don't remember it being covered in blood until it was reused in Sea Dog Cemetery.

Thank you! Now, if only I could find pictures. I think it was covered in blood in New France too since I never went through SDC. Do you know if it moved or made sound at all? As a kid I was afraid to look at it for too long.
It would be cool if they brought out more old props besides the troll, though I can name a ton of reasons why that's a terrible idea.
I love cheesey Halloween things. I don't love weird fonts that aren't attached to a b-horror movie from the 50s though. Nor did I like the webdesign of the old HoS site.ghosty said:
I also remember the dog. Although, I don't remember him in New France. I remember him covered in blood by First Aid. (Though that was in later years.) Which is an appropriate place for him. I always wondered what it was supposed to do, since it was never on when I walked by. I do remember the talking rat being placed over in New France though. The one that's currently in the Wild Reserve.
So I've talked to a few trusty sources and I think I have an understanding for the line-up this year. CTC and Deadline will remain virtually the same other than some small modifications that will be unnoticeable. Catacombs and Bitten will receive small renovations, nothing too serious but will change up the houses. The house that is following the "Unearthed" story line is going in the Germany Parking Lot most likely. The EITA queue is either receiving a house or has been cut so the park can add other attractions to the line-up. From what I understand is, if everything stays on track, we might see a fan favorite attraction roll back into the line-up. None of this has been officially confirmed by the park, but all I can say is stay tuned...
EDIT:Another update from the site.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but the park has changed their policy and now prohibits selfie sticks inside the haunted houses. Source.

As if that will stop people. -sigh- I can forsee actors being whacked upside the head with one of those things, accidental or no.
Hey All. Just to clarify the "Train OP" position you are referring to is the old train Cost center which was used as the Root cost center. The Train Op is a basic code used by HR and the Ent team to refer to Whatever maze is in the Germany back lot when developing new product.

I laughed so hard reading that. It's a pretty nice looking website, does anyone know the cost associated with creating and keeping a domain, and all the site design/graphics? If it's more than a couple hundred bucks, I'd MUCH rather they used it for decor in the park

It would be nice to see those extra dollars in the park. But then again im excited for halloween stuff in general be it cheesy or high dollar. I still hold true to my less is more roots but i would like to see them give it some real love. Its nice to see what can be done with a Haunt that has money. 
I'm not sure it is fair to criticize them to spending money on marketing, when we spend so much time criticizing them for failing to market their attractions and events.
Honestly, I don't think the problem is their using HOS money to get people interested in the event. The problem is that in the past they have spent their event money on what are arguably the wrong things, like that bizarre face paint last year.
