Day 150- "Maaaaaster......the plaaaaaaaans!"

Well here it is! Day 150 is probably a good number to start things off for 2011! And now the plans: the actual diagram of what we need to do this year!

Looks quite complex, but actually it isn't. This shows the garage from above looking down obviously. The arrows on the right show the entry to the haunt. This is Zone 1.

02 - The Haunted Mansion

Found at: FilesTube

Yes of course! The guests enter the hallway (H) of The Haunted Mansion! They pass by the portraits and maybe a surprise along the way (to be decided on later). A corpse chandelier hangs from the ceiling and suddenly moves by itself (pulley operated from the control room (C)- I will be able to see the guests in the hall via 'cam 1'. They make a left turn and come upon a very creepy looking character who is very motionless under some black light (not shown in the diagram btw) until the guests come closer. He suddenly moves and directs the guests to enter......the elevator (E)!! Now the red bars indicate moving doors. As we go through an imaginary walkthrough you will understand the significance of these doors. For zone 1 the first red bar or moving door will have to be pulled back into zone 4 so the guests can get to the elevator E. The elevator operator will be responsible for safely escorting guests into the elevator to be certain there are no more than probably 6 people at one time. So those are the details for zone 1. If you look at the overall plans, notice there are only really 4 zones. As I mentioned in the last post, we are going to limit the zones so we can spend much more time developing each one to create a total experience while allowing everyone enough time to get to the vortex at the end. 2 of the zones will be complete enclosures, one of course being the elevator. The vertical blue line in the center represents the central wood frame which is what we build everything off of. Black lines with short single cross hatches or arrows through them represent doors. Next time we will discuss the elevator concept. Btw we aren't quite building stuff yet but definitely that will start this month. Until next time. Stay tuned ghouls!
