This is a google maps satellite snapshot showing the OLD HSXLC station (Blue Roof) and the Haunt building for Toxic Plague and Zombie High (White roof). They have nothing in common and the Haunt building did not exist when Hypersonic XLC was operational. Toward the bottom of the snapshot, you can see what remains of the exit ramp for HSXLC (curved structure).
 
So where was the maintenance shed for HXLC?

It's been gone for so long (and I know they stuck El Dorado Drive-in back there for a season or two), I don't really remember it existing in any given place.

Google Earth has a time machine and a few scans of when HS stood.

I don't remember a maintenance shed for HSXLC. There is the former HSXLC air compressor building that currently houses the park's central air compressors. But, that structure would be in the top left of the snapshot. Just outside of the snapshot range I posted.
 
What is your objection to the queen, exactly?
She would be fine if she wasn’t following up the OverLord, the OverLord set the tone just right. I like the realism with following the storyline and i want it to be as menacing and scary as possible. The queen isn’t terrible just doesn’t live up to what the OverLord gave us before!!

Someone on Twitter said that it had too. I coulda sworn I didn't see it last time I was there, but I'm not sure. Either way, since it's still up, it seems like a pretty safe bet.
So I do remember seeing the sign as early as this spring, but as you say, it’s a pretty safe bet that it’s returning.
 
Important question: If Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Snow White are included in Grimm Woods this year, are their costumes going to be parodies of the Disney versions?

i wouldn’t think so, it’s called grimm woods based off the Grimm Fairy Tales, written by the Grimm Brothers who were the original creators of these stories. These stories always had dark undertones but when worked into disneys catalog it got softened up a bit to be more appropriate for the generation and children. Halloween Haunt takes these previously dark stories from the Grimm Brothers and turns the whole story eerie and scary. But my personal opinion it does need to be longer, last year (the opening year) it was a miss for me. it’s a experience one time but after never go again type experience, mainly cuz it’s not there for scare value in my opinion.

uhm ackshually

The original stories are all folklore and were around for hundreds of years before the Grimm brothers wrote their version down.
Being German, their versions of the stories usually did end up a lot darker than many of the older versions though.

e.g. the original "Cinderella" story from ancient Greece where a concubine was bathing and got her sandal stolen by an eagle morphed, over several iterations, to the Grimm version where Cinderella is an abused orphan with sisters that are willing to mutilate their own feet for a chance to marry the prince.

bruh, you’re trippin. i appreciate the history lesson. but the brothers grimm took these stories and made them their own thus being the creators of the specific stories being portrayed in GRIMM woods.
 
Allegedly according to Chrissie on Facebook, all guests will be kicked out at 5PM and then allowed to re-enter at 7PM. As well as lineup information for this year coming out as soon as tomorrow. Does anyone know if there’s any validity to this?

Big if true. I do worry that will absolutely wreck fall daytime ascendance if they do it though. Honestly, it seems like it would massively cut into F&B sales too as people wait for Haunt to start...

I'd much rather see a holding area setup a la HHN...
