I wan't to offer a quick update as to our plans for the 2019 tradeshow and beyond.
The Darkness: Yes we plan on opening The Darkness in 2019 during the Haunt Show. I doubt we'll open any other haunted house but Darkness. With that being said I wanted to fill you in on a couple things. If you EVER wanted to see The Darkness this would be the year because I'm not sure we'd open it again after this renovation. To me it always boils down to IF we do a massive renovation or not. I will not open it without some sort of monumental renovation. Our renovations as you've seen in some cases are more than others might spend to build a haunted house from scratch.
So we've decided to renovate the biggest scene inside The Darkness: If you've been before there is that scarefactory T-REX that comes out of that cave. We'll be selling that prop btw. That is the biggest single scene inside the Darkness and it will be gutted and turned into something we're naming SKULL KINGDOM!
So basically the theme is that anyone who enters is attached by the skeletons of the undead... they will then kill you and your bones will rott inside Skull Kingdom for an enternity. So get this everything that attacks you will be skeleton of something kind. I'm working with Unit 70 on this project and a MASSIVE order has already been placed just so you know. Yeah that far in advance yeah I know crazy huh... but Unit 70 is going to build me some almost to hard to believe type props. I don't want to give it away now but there will be like FIVE BIG LEAGUE animations going into this renovation. We're going to build the biggest wildest scene we've ever done. Just think of something like Sinbad Eye of the Tiger or something along those lines. Its going to be epic.
Our plans for the tour also will see a new Escape Room build, another room has already been renovated since TR and another scene upstairs in The Darkness will also be renovated. There is an old sewer tunnel which now will be replaced due to building a big sewer system at the exit of Darkness.
So right now 1 scene upstairs and 1 scene downstairs. Furthermore we're adding a party VIP room and our horror musuem will also be different.

Creepyworld: This is the haunt EVERYONE wants us to open and we're going to do it... in 2020. We will open Creepyworld ONE TIME and ONE TIME ONLY! Why wait until 2020? Well when I said I was going to try and open it I started looking around and realized wow that would be really hard. So what I've done is figured out a way to do it but I had to create new que lines ones that stayed around all year for example. I had to rebuild my hayride. I also have been adding roofs on all the attractions and I'm down to just one left that needs one. The difference is that when I can leave the haunt as is then i can re-open easier I can almost do that now.
Furthermore I needed better storage I got that to now ... little by little I'm perfecting Creepyworld to open easier. I also wanted to make sure all the haunts I liked 110% before I opened it... we're almost there. I love our hayride! That was a big one even so I wanted to improve it more which we've done this year.
So the couple haunts I want to nix are the 3D easy to do btw, and this farm theme which is going away after next Transworld. I'm planning on building a full sized haunt for the Transworld show in 2019 and that haunt will go to Creepyworld after the show. Once that haunt is in place at Creepyworld, I replace the 3D I will open Creepyworld because I'll have it to the point where I CAN ACTUALLY OPEN it without spending an entire summer getting it ready.
Warning however... the tickets will be at least $100 a person because its just way to hard to open. Opening it will cost me probably 3 times more than I can make back but we'll do it in 2020. I promise.
