Team Danny DeVito from Dumbo Project Nine - Kooky Clown Time

Bump coming through!

If you guys go the Joker route, just be sure the whole event isn't completely DC themed. Doing one Joker maze is fine, but I want ya'll to get creative with some original concepts as well.

I need a translator for this post.

 

[Tegan pilots a chicken]

Ooh! I know Harley isn’t in it and it’s a bit dark, but I saw this and immediately thought of the Joker’s carnival in The Killing Joke which could serve as a really neat horror maze or a show in some way. We’d tweak it and just use that as a basis anyway

I am also sooooooo into this!!!

 

[TheOriginalTiki]

Just gotta give a shout-out to @Mickeynerd17 for taking on a worthy cause with his time off!

 

[ThemeParkPriest]

Thank God.

Actually, this worked out perfectly because I have a jazz camp all this week, so thanks!

Sorry I don’t understand Clown-speak. I think that’s one of clowns from the band. Give him some space for the next few days!

What amusement park is closely linked to Circuses and most importantly Clowns?
The Adventuredome at Circus Circus.
They used to have a Fright Night event there every October even had a FNAF walkthrough in (guess what year) 2016.


I know it's small so if we could fit all that we're required to do we'd have to be clever about it.

Ooo I like that! The space might be a bit difficult. However there might be options like using conference rooms or outside that could expand the space.

Well I don’t know regional parks very much, but I do know absolutely terrible amusement parks since my zoo used to have one before covid took it all out and ruined my life for the better part of a year and a half and if there’s one thing that feels like it would fit a house like this it’s the idea of a carnival or sh*tty amusement park funhouse. I’m exhausted and overworked right now so my ramblings may be incoherent and my idea may be really niche based on one specific awful fun house from a small zoo amusement park nobody’s ever heard of and is very specific to me and my memories, but if I can find pics of it I’ll post them and show how well this idea could be a clown-themed haunted house

So on a related note, how about Busch Gardens Tampa? What could be scarier than clowns?! When clowns come to a zoo!

There’s definitely precedent for Six Flags (or Cedar Point).

Also, I’m willing to volunteer to be Team Leader for the round.

"Jazz" is in the clown biz a technical term for riding one of those tiny tricycles. Hopefully @Mickeynerd17 can learn how ride one through a loop by this Monday, you know how clowns are!

On a personal note I’d avoid a circus theme at Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, or any other parks that house animals (beyond maybe Hershey Park because that zoo is a joke anyway) just because of the connotations of animals and circuses.

That’s just me being defensive of my career though, if we think Busch Gardens or something is the best place for it, I’ll set aside my real world biases

 

[Tegan pilots a chicken]

Yeah yeah, make all ya clown jokes. Buncha jokestas.

I’m obligated to bring up Amusement Mile. This is the version from Birds of Prey, which wasn’t released yet in 2016, but, Amusement Mile has long been established in DC.

No fair points. It would have to be designed carefully, too, so that human screams don’t scare the animals. Probably best to avoid.

So it’s like a carnival in Gotham City? That has some potential!

Don’t forget about the hypnotizing Ghost Clown from Scooby-Doo! He could find a home in a Six Flags park.

Yes!! And it’s often presented as abandoned and decrepit, and a hideout for bad guys!

Ooooooo!! Good call on Ghost Clown from Scooby!!

If we wanna do Ip, I say we limit it to 1 scare house and either a scare zone or a show, so like 2 IP and mostly original stuff

And going completely against this, since it’s 2016 and the whole clown thing started to advertise It, what if we did an It scare zone or scare maze. I could see a zone being the neighborhood from the movie or the house just being a scare house like Uni’s

 

[Tegan pilots a chicken]

-At least three mazes
-At least two scare zones
-At least one show
-At least one specialty dining and merch option for the event

So, we need eight things minimum;

3 mazes
2 scare zones
1 show
1 dining
1 merch option

And we could always do more.

Coincidentally, there are eight of us playing this round so theoretically each of us could handle one of these elements, though some of them will inherently require a bit more effort. A show is much more complex than a paragraph about mobile food vendors.

If we do elect to go with Six Flags, but also want to limit our IP use, I would say that I’m more than happy to handle a Harley/Joker/whatever show.

If someone else has another idea for the show, I can utilize those characters elsewhere. That idea for carnival from The Killing Joke is an awesome @PerGron and we could totally incorporate that into the whole thing.

I mean, we can always add more, we don’t have to only do the things required here. We should add a couple cheap rides! Like those old Pretzel dark rides or a creepy carousel or something!!

Agreed. Maybe one person can handle dining and merch. Then two can work in the show. And the rest do one. That feels more or less balanced, I think?

That sounds good to me! Sorry I’ve been checked out with brainstorming, I’ve just been really busy today lol

 

[Tegan pilots a chicken]

I thought I would just push my own agenda throw together some concept art to hopefully convince everyone to let me do Harley Quinn give everyone a glimpse at what this vibe could be like.

I’m all for it, sounds fun!

 

[Sharon&Susan]

I'm good with whatever park everyone else wants to work with as long as it doesn't require any leaps in logic for a fright event to happen there. I'd prefer something a bit more out of the box than Six Flags tbh to make our project stand out a bit more, but that's no big deal as it won't stop us from creating a fun, creative Halloween event!

@ThemeParkPriest

I’m afraid I’ll be inactive for the first half of the round (away visiting college) but I love all the ideas so far! Including Harley/Joker is a smart IP choice. I’ll be active once I get back, but for now know I’ll go with flow with wherever is brainstormed!
