[NuttySquirrel]

New Facebook post! Pretty much confirms the Emily Alton Storyline.

Ahhh you got there before me!

I am pleased that TCaAM is part of the same 'universe' as the HH, but I think we knew that ever since the 'Property Repossessed' signs.
The Emily Alton theme should allow both HH nostalgics (me included) and others an equal amount of fun!

I'm really liking that teaser.

Actually looking forward to seeing how this turns out, not expecting too much from it but the bar was set pretty low with Duel so anything will be an improvement.

Good job AT so far.

It was obvious before that; sign in the exit corridor with "this is my house" was a clue.

That music box ITHOTMK is wonderful. If that is a hint towards part of the soundtrack, I am sold.

Interesting!

When you combine that teaser with all of the things like "Coming, ready or not!" within the park's official press release and the words in blood on the original Property Repossessed sign highlighting "POSSESSED, WANT TO PLAY", I have a strong suspicion that hide and seek could play a heavy role in the ride's back story...

I think it could well be part of the soundtrack. It also played in the background of that voicemail message from last Scarefest, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if it did allude to part of the new soundtrack.

I’m really looking forward to this!

Pretty cool.

If only the standard of attraction met the standard of Altons marketing.

Also, the teaser image showed a girl with her hands over her eyes, adding more validity to the hide and seek theme.

At this stage, who's to say that it won't?

Unless you come from the future, you don't know that this ride won't live up to the marketing.

Oh totally agree. And to fair Wickerman has in a way justified its marketing.

Let's see, I'm cautiously optimistic about this.

Well actually I am about all capex investments they have made in theast few years. It opex that's screwed.

No one else notice the floor in that video? Looks familiar

 

[Dobba]

The fence and the coffin are still outside the façade in that video, but I doubt they'd create a render of it and keep the Forbidden Valley and Katanga Canyon signs on the tower (plus there is no Sparks Estates For Sale sign as we saw in the promotional image).



So I'm going to assume that's just as recent a photo as they could get when making this video, I don't think we need to necessarily assume that it is staying just because it is in this.

Never seen it before in my life...

If it is a hide and seek kind of theme, I really hope that they make use of the old gargoyle head mechanism that is right before the offload, one final “found you” with a demon doll that pops up

 

[Danscott22]

The marketing done so far has been great. If they've got this ride right, I think it will really be something special. I'm quietly hopeful

THE GRAND HALL (hopefully) SURVIVES!!!

Chances are a few scenes will, maybe confirmation there won’t be huge scenery and background changes?

Thank goodness. Has anyone noticed that the wall in the background looks very different to what it was when it was Duel. It looks more align with the original 1992 look it had!!
