Going off the new Spec Map, what would everybody like to see in the "Best Of" Scarezone?
I think we'll see Invasion (hopefully with the crashed saucer) and Dead Man's Warf (hopefully with the ship wreck). Those were generally very well received zones that suffered with the space constrictions of San Francisco, so giving them a mini version in wide open NY would serve them well. I fully expect Killer Klowns to be included since everybody loved that zone. Maybe not always have them there, but just have them come parading through the zone every now and then or something.
Then I'd expect something along the lines of the Legions since that covered a full event year worth of scarezones (though I personally thought they were pretty weak), don't expect TWD even though that was a full year thing too. Though it would be hillarious to have TWD return knowing that the die hards will be upset...and then have Thriller come over the speakers and have all of the Zombies get together and do the dance as a joke every 30min or something. Or stick a couple by Blues Brothers with the icecream truck for another selfie op.
I would LOVE to have the Acid Assault projection mapping return, but don't really remember the characters of that zone so wouldn't miss them. Vamp '55 was a classic, but we just had '85 and I'd argue it wasn't nearly as well received. Some of the recent pumpkin related scare zones were awesome, but with the Pumpkin King and stuff I don't know if they'd include them. The return of Rob Zombie's The Creeper and Dragula would make me soooo happy, and only take up a little bit of space, but that was just at the last (full) event. I don't expect any Icon-related zones to be represented here as it sounds like they'll be the focus of the Anniversary zone. The New Years Eve zone wasn't anything special, but maybe having some of the celebrities wandering around could be interesting.
I'm kinda surprised that thinking back over the last 5-10 years doesn't instantly bring a ton of Scarezones to mind that I'd like to see return. After the Zombieland dud from the last (full) event, I hope they go all out as NY is great of a space to have another weak/empty zone.
