Precisely! :)

Asylum wasn't bad, As far as the Design. I have been playing Batman Arkham Asylum and was hoping for a design along those lines, a very realistic looking hospital with a very prison feel, make it feel like your in a real place. than make it scary with the people, doesn't have to be dark and dirty to be scary. The key to the scare here is monsters will kill you, but people will keep you!

As a side note, I will admit my only scare, more startled, but it got me pretty good, that I had in any of the houses, was the little air cannon thing in the hallway. I'm not sure what it was but the sound of escaping compressed air and feeling it scared me. Had I turned around and saw a patient/prisoner with an oxygen tank or something he was somehow rigging to explode that would have really had me running and defiantly leave a lasting impression.

I agree with ya on that. Any air cannon scare will get me. I just went through a house near me and it had like 4 of them. Great stuff!:)

Air cannons are the best! They always get me.

Understanding about being cautious, but that's why one would get a design copyrighted. The official screamster design logo is copyrighted. It's sad that everyone has to be cautious about exposing art, designs, music, etc...due to being vulnerable of pirating and stealing. What a world we live in?!

Yeah, but even copyrighting the design won't necessarily help Adam that much. 'Cause now he has to police the entire Interwebs to see who's stolen his IP, and then he has to go through the hassle and secure the funds to litigate any and all violators.

I think his way of doing things makes much more sense.

Which haunted house has the spinning cylider that you walk through near the exit? Is it the one by Wave Swinger/Maverick? Those get me every time. Going this weekend, so I will be sure to hit this house.

It was in that house (Undertaker). It was removed for Asylum.

So it's not there anymore. That sucks!

It makes FAR more sense going through a crazy vortex than a tilt room of corpses. Oh, and I could post my layout here if I wanted. I designed it to fit a buildings specific dimensions. The real reason I don't want to upload it is cause I'm too lazy. :)

Though I'll upload the layout for my backyard maze for halloween (since it's already in my photobucket)to make up for not posting the other layout. :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/Dragster420/65656.png

I was mainly curious through an architectural point of view being an architecture grad student and not to "steal" the design. People are so worried about that these days. It's quite annoying actually, but understandable.....Adam, I know you use SketchUp for the design process, but if you wanted, you could tweek the design by rendering the image using an add on render program for SketchUp....

Anyway...back to the Halloweekends thread............This weekend starts the outdoor zones being open on Sundays!

It's hard to believe that this is the half-way mark already for Halloweekends!

If this weekend's forecast holds, the park should be rather insane this weekend.

Should be elbows to a..holes! Perfect Halloweekend weather.....well..for Cedar Point that is, for anyone wanting to go on anything or through a Haunted house, have fun waiting in line! I can just imagine Fright Zone Saturday night!

The back of the park is going to be packed. I guess there is going to be crowds over 50'000 (that is how it has been for the past years). Sunday will be nice. :)

Believe me, I would if I could. I need a new processor before I get anything else that demands more power cause it struggles with textures on sketchup already. :)

And I'm excited for the nice weekend. It'll be awesome scarezone weather. Unfortunately it'll be my last trip of the year. :(

^Just be happy you get to make one more.. :(

7+ months until I return. Behhhhhh!

I'm just hoping that TONS of people go this weekend, so they stay home during BooBuzz. :)

Since I am in two weddings later this month, my time to visit during Halloweekends is this weekend. Which is sad, because I really wanted to attend BooBuzz. At least the weather will be great with zero chance of rain and very little wind. I'll take the crowds on Sat. knowing that we will be able to ride everything we want on Fri., and do some haunted houses. Actually I feel lucky with the weather we always get when we travel during October to the park.

As far as being busy, i'm sure it will be. But, it won't be as busy as DisneyWorld is during Christmas. Disney is Elbows to a##holes plus strollers.

Does anybody know if CP has a cutoff number as far as admissions alowed into the park? If they even have one I've been do Disney when all but one of the parks are full and closed during Chrsitmas.

What is BooBuzz?

Anyway I'm going to Cedar Point on Saturday and Sunday. I'm glad it's supposed to be so nice outside, but that also means big crowds. Ugh. :(
