I wonder if this will be the last year with this specific plot.

Love the 2024 show, but have to wonder if the leaves of change finally affect The Purge on a larger note. Regardless, I wonder what they do in comparison to last year's show--which felt like it tightened up the pacing and upped the visual graphics of the blood.

I for one will appreciate the formal confirmation that the 2025 version will be largely identical to the 2024 version, so I know whether to skip it or not. :)

It is super cool that Dangerous Waters is so popular, and I love that for everyone who likes it, but it would be cool if they mixed it up a bit more every year. (Even Nightmare Fuel, which I know for many feels repetitive, has a different theme / story / overlay each year.)

I’m just happy we have a show in this venue. It’s very uniquely Hollywood and I love Waterworld so I enjoy it every year.

My one thing is I wish they could figure out a way to incorporate the seaplane. Otherwise, this is a consistently entertaining show that fills the stadium and takes people off the streets. It's also outright horror in a way that Jabowokeez never was.

Question to ask--I presume the reason why the Seaplane isn't used, is as a result of a longer reset period? Less time to be actually able to do a show if you can't reset the seaplane in fast-timing.

I assume combination of reset time and simple resources. Takes more techs to prep, launch, and reset the plane.

I guess I'll see it this year, I skipped it last year to do more maze repeats (due to the hot weather making the mazes empty on my first run throughs). As long as history doesn't repeat itself, I might as well check it out.

The WW show uses 5 stagehands, 2 stage managers and 2 animation techs. The purge has 7 stagehands. Both shows do 4 performances each day so I don't think reset time is an issue. Although time might be an issue because there is more pyro - but then there's more crew.

I think the main reason is the launch area is used for Dante's entrance.

I liked the tweaks they made last year, so hopefully they keep pushing that a bit further to refine things. Gimme a place to sit and some new gore and stunts each year and I'm happy.

I probably won't see this opening night since I'll be prioritizing all of the houses, but I may try to see this later in the event's run!

At the very least. But it looks like nothing new this year.

I've seen it 3 times. Its still a fast paced, stunt show at night. I just love all its doing with the lasers, actions, extra fire effects, blood effects and the firework finale


Perfect place to walk up to and rest your feet and enjoy a show. Heck if you just need a break I think they open the gates 20 mins before show time so you can come in and rest more if need be but I love I can just walk up to it 5 mins before and find a nice seat
