Please towers, please make TotT better this year and return sub species. TotT I found a little disapointment last year (just came out of sub species before that which probably didn't make it look any better), it needs more. I found that the jump scares were all predictable (we were in the middle of the line so we could see the actors before they jumped out). It might be that I'm just harder to scare, but saying "I want to eat you" and blowing my hair just doesn't do much for me (that said, my friend behind me cried most of the way through and was close to being evacuated). There are good elements to the maze, but overall I found it wasn't enough for me. One thought here: even if TotT returns, will it be "what lies within"? Towers could easily change the tag line and theme of the maze for this year.
Sub species was the opposite. It was the one maze that I really did scream in (need I say more than the word chainsaw?). I can think of few improvements for the maze (maybe not having alternate endings since one will inevitably be worse and how many non-geeks pay twice?) but small differences will be welcome. The best bit about the theme of SS for me though is that it is mot specific (like for example, molly crowe). Last year, it was the end games (is it just me who loves that as the name of a scaremaze?), but when they decide to move on from that it can be called anything.
Molly crowe was alright. If it comes back it comes back but if not I won't be upset. it was a decent maze but I don't see how the story can be changed enough for it to run much longer. I did expect it to return this year, but one of the mazes needed to be replaced and we all know how towers keep holding on to TotT for some reason. I hope the replacement has a higher budget.
As for the scare zones, I actually liked how they were last year. I know in the past you've had smaller versions of the mazes, but I enjoyed running around forbbiden valley being chased by zombies. They got some decent scares but I hope this year they use the areas a little more and maybe change the theme around (like to see a smiler themed one around x-sector). They could have so easily used the theming of FV to their advantage (and not fenced off the car perhaps). Just open NST and you have a great scarefest area.
