Two identicle mazes will be made for better throughput so I have heard - it was being talked about during last Scarefest when management were looking at them.

I dont think that will happen, went to look at the field today and unless there different in the sense one will not have a tree and the other will i cant see how it will work.

But, the land theyve used does look huge! About an extra 1/3 of the size of the last one.

How can you tell if seeds had or hadn't been planted? :?

They are seeds?

:P

Hmm we haven't heard much about TOTT recently, usually it has been confirmed by now and promotional material goes up round the park for it. Probably just my paranoia coming through i'm sure theyu still thinking about ideas for the story and theme.

I think it was June/July when the car appeared at the bottom of Towers Street last year.

Yer that's the more obvious stuff, i'm talking about the posters they have scattered around the park (which appeared April/May time in 03/04/05/07 albeit the event was cancelled on 2 of those) or even official confirmation through Haunted Attractions, is it even on the park map this year? Usually not this quiet on the TOTT front because we haven't actually heard anything, even when they said that Scarefst was going ahead, they didn't actually mention TOTT.

The posters are very good.

It's basically the promotional image we have already seen but with a Halloween edge. Hats and costumes added to guests, green water on the Master Blaster, spider webs and stuff.

It's a very attractive poster.

The posters look great and still look spooky. This shows that Scarefest will also be for families this year which is a good thing to fit in with the theme. Also by the looks of the poster we might be seeing green floodlights around the resort. :D

One of the posters advertising the event. They are all very similar, with different captions.

That poster looks fantastic, it's been done very nicely and should make people want to go to the Scarefest. It clearly shows that it will be suitable for families while being a scary event at the same time.

It better be scary! Last years TOTT was bad enough, they need to step up the scare factor back to what it was in 2003. Less story telling, more "Boo".

Hopefully, it will all work out. They have something significant to build on and I remember alot of surveys/feedback papers floating about around the hotels so perhaps they will have put everyone's suggestions into practice.
