Description (2014)[]

Take on Alien vs. Predator, two of the world's most iconic characters of science fiction and horror, in our most ambitious maze yet with technologically advanced creatures and state-of-the-art special effects! A spaceship belonging to a hunter race known as The Predators has crash-landed in a remote forest. The ship was carrying life form samples of another extraterrestrial species ā€“ the cold-blooded Aliens ā€” that use living hosts as incubators, including humans. Now, those life forms have escaped into the countryside, with blood-drenched chestbursters and parasitic facehuggers leaving a deadly trail. But, you havenā€™t confronted the real threat yet. Youā€™re caught in the crossfire between these ancient enemies in a relentless battle to the death, and only one will win! One thing is for sure...whoever wins, we lose.

Description (2015)[]

Back by popular demand, Alien vs. Predator puts you in the crossfires of battle between two ancient enemies! Using technologically advanced creatures and state-of-the-art special effects, this is the most awe-inspiring maze ever! A spaceship belonging to a hunter race known as The Predators has crash-landed in a remote forest. The ship was carrying life form samples of another extraterrestrial species ā€“ the cold-blooded Alien xenomorphs ā€” that use living hosts as incubators, including humans. Now, those life forms have escaped into the countryside, with blood-drenched chestbursters and parasitic facehuggers leaving a deadly trail. But, you havenā€™t confronted the real threat yet. With a relentless battle to the death, one thing is for sure... whoever wins, we lose.

Experience[]

Facade[]

Guests entered the soundstage and entered the woods. Guests would curve around the woods to enter the facade of a crashed Alien spaceship with red lighting and smoke coming out of it. Guests then enter the maze

Haunted Maze[]

Guests enter the spaceship and enter the containment chambers. Guests see panels on the walls with yellow lighting dimming from bright to dark. Guests see red backlit panels on the left with Predator symbols and 2 Facehuggers in glass tubes and on the right can see 2 broken tubes signaling that the Facehuggers have escaped. Guests go towards 2 windows where a Facehugger bangs on the window in front of guests.

Guests then enter the trophy room where there are various skulls hung on the wall along with panels with more dimming and brightening of yellow lighting. On the table was a dead Predator with UV green blood on him.

Guests enter a short hallway with UV green blood trail and at the end of the hallway is a projection of the Predatorā€™s vision showing Predators being killed. Guests then go down a hallway with broken tubes where a Predator pops out on the left and Xenomorph pops out on the right.

Guests then go down a hallway with more tubes and then a Xenomorph pops out at guests spraying water at them. Guests go down another hallway with more tubes before exiting the spaceship.

Guests enter the woods where they see a police car with a static figure of a officer with a Facehugger. Guests see a projection of the Predatorā€™s red triangle reticle going throughout the scene. A Facehugger Victim pops out of the car backseat window at guests.

Guests go down a hallway with hanging bodies of skinless victims as a Predator pops out at guests. The Predator then pops out again from another side.

Guests enter the outside of a farmhouse facade where a woman with a melted face from acid pops out at guests from behind a tree with a flashlight. A Xenomorph pops out at guests from inside the house and another from another angle from inside the house before guests enter the farmhouse.

Guests enter the farmhouse and enter the living room which has become a nest for the Xenomorphs. Guests can see the Alien eggs and Facehuggers attached to Family Members trapped. Guests see 2 victims trapped struggling as Chest Bursters pop out of them.

Guests enter a hallway with a window which a Facehugger pops out at and guests see through wall panels and scratches on the walls. Guests are then scared by the Predator on the left and the Xenomorph on the right.

Guests then enter a teenage girl's room where she is struggling as a Xenomorph has popped through the window and torn her apart. The Xenomorph sprays water at guests. Guests then exit the scene.

Guests enter the outside of a barn where a Man with a Facehugger attached pops out at guests. Guests then enter the barn. Guests see more Alien Eggs and the Queen Xenomorph moving. A Xenomorph pops out at guests while they are distracted.

Trivia[]

  • Alex and Tom of ADI who worked on AVP Requiem let the HHN makeup artist move into the facility and use the molds used in the film. Murdy says this maze wouldn't have been possible without them. [1].
  • Murdy had the idea of creating a pulsing light (in synch with a sound effect) to shine through the panels that would give the ship a ā€œheartbeatā€. [2].
  • Chris Williams came up with the idea of recreating the red backlit panels with the Predator letters. [3].
  • The Facehuggers the Predators were collecting samples of broke out of their containment chambers, attacked & killed a Predator, which starts the battle. The glowing blood on the Predatorā€™s chest was a very focused UV light effect. [4].
  • The Aliens were all hybrid puppets (except for one creature suit version in the Barn Scene.). There were several types which were all controlled by blackout performers behind the set. [5].
  • The Predator was made by MageeFX using new sculpted molds using bits & pieces from the film since the film molds wouldn't work for the performers in the maze due to height. [6].
  • The Alien puppets were mostly from the film molds and then assembled together the way they needed them. [7].
  • In the trophy room there was a Predator 2 easter egg. [8].
  • The sheriff's seal on the car was accurate to the film. [9].
  • The performer working the Alien in the bedroom scene could lunge, dip down, move its head side to side, make the inner mouth extend & blast people with compressed air/water. [10].
  • The Alien Queen was constructed out of molds from the film and controlled by three different performers from a raised platform behind the set. One for the head and two for the arms. [11].
  • Murdy believes the Alien Puppet to be the craziest thing they've ever created for HHN. [12].
  • When HHN Hollywood decided to do AVP as a maze, they knew that it was going to be such a huge endeavor to produce it that they had always intended to do it two years in a row. They also wanted to make technical improvements on the Alien puppet characters by adding a traveler to give them forward movement. [13].
  • The maze was based more on Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, where a spaceship crashes in the forest, so they had to build a Predator spaceship to take people through. The spaceship had fiber glass panels with sections cut out that had other materials behind it, and with lighting they dud a pulse effect so that the ship felt alive. [14].
  • There were speakers throughout the forest that made the sounds of the face-huggers. [15].
  • One of the tweaks they made for AVP for 2015 was the score. They had a whole new score written for the maze. Murdy noted he was a big fan of the original Alien music by Jerry Goldsmith, and while the AVP movies had a more adrenaline-fueled, action-type score, this year, ā€œI wanted something a little bit more atmospheric and spooky.". [16].
