The teaser trailer seemed to hint at a horror film released in 2013, so there we go.

Knowing this cinema and its love for Warner Bros., I suspect The Conjuring from 2013 will be the next 4D film considering it has the same BBFC rating as It and is a VERY big franchise.

New show has been announced as Rebel Ball with dance, fire, music and Dj shows.

I think this is a replacement of all the shows at lucifers lair, so I assume this is going on the launchpad and lucifer is going to take a backseat.

This confirms a few things and makes more things confusing

• What will lucifers lair be?

• Creature Campus was rumoured to be moving to the launch pad because of the what3words code in the teaser.

• Will Rebel Ball just be shows or have roaming actors too?

It could be the best use of the launch pad for this event and I really hope it’s advertised well as the hub of the event

Bit of a curveball that's for sure.

My best guess is that Creature Campus and Rebel Ball will alternate on the Launchpad stage, meaning there's always something going on. One of the downsides for Creature Campus is it was pretty much non-existent outside of the performances, so having its space doubled up for something else works.

It's worth noting the description for Rebel Ball lists "fire performances" as opposed to a fire show.

I'll be disappointed if Lucifer's Lair is scaled back this year. It's been the crown jewel of Fright Nights since it came about in my opinion.

Ahhh, that all makes sense.

Creature Campus could work as a scare zone if they wanted it to. Back in the day, Amity was a mix of both, and I think the location outside Stealth makes more sense for a full set based around the school than Launch Pad, which seems to be used for multiple different things.

Not really Fright Nights-related, but it’s funny how Launch Pad suddenly comes alive when there are food units open. Maybe they should have stuck to the original plan and kept permanent food units around the area.

I just can’t see Lucifer’s Lair also having a stage and staying show-focused. I think the danger is that there ends up being more shows than scare zones. I think the theme of lucifers lair lends itself better to being a hub of entertainment. I’d be really sad to see it go.

I don’t think Purgatory Town should come back unless they move away from the conversation-based approach. Me and my group aren’t really going to interact with actors on that level. I think the actors should be providing scares and approaching us to scare us, rather than just loitering around and having a conversation with people.

Alton Towers does scare zones really well with its two free walkthrough scare zones. I’m glad The Crows are coming back, but I think they really needed another one alongside it.
