Me , I ain't streaming nowt, I'm going tomorrow for this weekend to have fun
 
heres...this


can somone get a screen shot of that and enhance it to the point of being at least, mildly readable, bla bla whatever

now, WHAT THE HELL MERLIN, WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER?
DO YOU HAVE NO STANDARDS?


also...anyone manage to sneak into the media event?
 
You can't magically enhance resolution that isn't there to begin with. Enlarging it just makes the pixels bigger. This isn't Bladerunner. ;)
 
whats everyones opinion on house of monsters this year?
after the TPG live audio walkthrough I listened to, it sounds much better than last year!

also, how much of the welcoming is hooded and what is the ending like?
(from the TPG live audio, the ending sounds quite naff)

also also,
was TotT any scarier to justify the 15+ age rating?

Has anyone got any maze reviews? Even though I hate that sort of thing and would never go in a scare maze, I'm interested to see what people think to this year's lineup, especially The Welcoming.
 
there is a video of the Welcoming here
vvv

before you watch it, it doesnt really spoil much other than the costumes and themeing and unless there are 2 hooded sections, (which they cut out of the video) it seems that they cut out some form of show segment or setpiece (potentally featuring the pirate stage)
there is not really that much to spoil (apart from the VERY good theming and the costumes)
BUT, if you do watch it, then take the video off at the 3:25 mark (its the 2nd jump cut, cutting out the hodded section) as everything past that, is spoiling the mazes final!

based on what I watched it looks quite naff (for a scare maze at least) but I suspect that may be the fault of the video which seems to not do it justice!

if anyone wants to know roughly what the final entails without flat out telling you what happens, then click this spoiler tag
it is more of a show type of thing, like the jack knife final from CoS
 
Booked a combi ticket for scaremazes at 1:00pm.. Says they need to be done within 2 hours. I thought there was points at scarefest when queues hit an hour or two so I'm not entirely sure how it works. Also, I printed off the sheet but do I have to go to the box office or whatever it is now to get each singular maze ticket.

Finally, what differences are there to the mazes in the daytime?
 
How does the daylight affect it exactly?
Like, can you see the actors hiding, see through the hoods?
What are the downsides for going in the day?

Just curious.

The hooded section is only a small part. The rest is outside in the open. A few effects work well at night.
