Journey through the ever-changing maze of darkness! This all black maze will morph and change as you walk through it!!! You will not be scared the same way twice!

The idea is cool, but there should have been walls on the sides. It's not a maze if you can walk out of it at any time.
This would work better for an event where they could allow a smaller flow of people through. Or a house. But not at Universal, seeing as how they do conga lines. Hmm.
Is this even open when there's still daylight?
Going thru last night still didn't change my opinion on it, but the actors were trying hard. This zone has lawsuit written all over it though...
Totally. One of the times we went through this zone, one of the scareactors moved the wall right onto us and it was definitely on purpose because he didn't stop. It was a good startling scare and no one got hurt so I didn't mind it. But, that's only because no one in my party fell and got hurt... In a dark place where you'd land on rough pavement, and the things they're moving onto you are metal frames, there are a lot of possibilities for injury.
I personally thought this scarezone was very lackluster. I like the concept, but think they didn't take it far enough. I would have liked it a lot more if it was themed more like In-Between, with lots of lights and smoke, crazy shapes and rely a lot more on visual disorientation. I think a single all black zone would have been enough this year, Canyon.
Knowing that this specific scarezone area has never really been as intense as it could, a cornstalk maze of sorts with no chances of getting lost would definitely work. All the entrances to the 'other sections' of the maze could be blocked by guys with chainsaws wearing the heads of animals as masks, and there could be decapitated farm animals everywhere. Almost like a house, but shorter, outside, and more focused on the scares. And to avoid traffic, it would be a one-way ordeal with lots of tight corners and crannies.
Ha, I'm all ears on why since I've only recently gotten into haunts and the like. But, conceptually, wouldn't that idea work? A two-way 'maze' that isn't a house yet still keeps the intimate fear factor as alive as that within a house.
Wow yeah, that doesn't look like it could bode well under both storms. I think, however, that if the cornstalks were just bunched up onto structural bases and were tall enough, the concept could work with just a bit of cleanup after every night.
You can't really say if it was on purpose or not. If its dark out and they're wearing black masks, I'm sure they can't see you. I do agree that there is some possibility for injury though. They probably should of did the zone in a different space.

They had a scarezone during HHN 14 called "Field of Screams". It connected both parks, and the original idea was to grow huge stalks of corn for the actors to hide in. Well, that same year, we happened to get hit by 4-5 hurricanes and most of the field was damaged. They salvaged what they could, but it wasn't what it could have been.
I almost got smacked in the face by a fence Thursday night. No big deal, I don't get my panties in a bunch over such, but this zone is more of an annoyance than anything else. Even when you're "cut off", its just like "okay, I'll step to the left 4 feet and go around it". You don't feel trapped, but inconvenienced for a second.
