Worlds of Fun: Terror of London Scare Zone

Photo from Creepyla.com

With the rumor that Worlds of Fun might possibly be adding a Terror of London themed scare zone, that got us thinking. How do you theme a scare zone to Terror of London? Well a viewer asked us that same question and we're going to take a stab in the dark at how we would theme it.

If you take a look at the photo above from Creepyla.com, you'll see the final scene in the Terror of London maze at Knott's from this past 2009 Haunt Season. The last scene depicted a graveyard, some sort of dock, and a LOT of brickwork. Overall, having been through the Terror of London maze, it was an absolutely breathtaking scene. The details all around were fantastic and the scares were top notch.

Now making this into a scare zone, although difficult, is possible. In most scare zones there are objects or set pieces that break up the path so guests have to avoid objects. These objects also provide hiding places for the actors and actresses in the zone. In a Terror of London themed scare zone, we would most likely place some brick walls along the path, along with a lot of tombstones, a couple of eerie London-style streetlamps, as well as maybe a storefront or two (in a facade type of manner). This in our eyes would make for one hell of a zone.

If you could design a scare zone, what would you put in it and what would you theme it to?
