Experience[]

Facade[]

The facade for this haunted maze was the Gideon Meatpacking Plant. It had smoke coming out of the building, and the Saw theme would play for the audio. Guests would then enter the maze.

Haunted Maze[]

Guests entered the maze and turned right into a room with a bunch of TV monitors showing each of the traps. On the right, a Pighead would pop out at guests. On the left was Billy the Puppet being wheeled towards guests and turning his head to look at them. Guests would walk further down the scene and see Cecil Adams in the Knife Chair screaming. Guests then left the scene and enter the Razor Wire Maze.

In the Razor Wire Maze scene was a bunch of chain-link fences and bodies along with white sheets and flashing lights. There was a clock on the wall with the time on it, and guests would walk through and see Paul Leahy on a fence banging on it and screaming for help. Guests would then exit the scene and enter the Reverse Bear Trap room.

Guests would then see Amanda Young with the Reverse Bear Trap on her head digging out the intestines of Donnie Greco on a table as he screamed for help. On the left there was a TV monitor showing Jigsaw. Guests would then go down a hallway and then enter a black hallway where a Pighead would pop out at guests from a boo-hole at the end.

After the black hallway, guests would see the Rack Trap on the right with Timothy Young inside it screaming as his body parts were being turned. There was also a shotgun and Judge Halden's body next to it. Then, a Pighead would pop out at guests from behind a door.

Guests then went down a hallway leading to the Pendulum Trap where Seth Baxter was on a table as a pendulum swung and cut him in half. A Pighead would then pop out at guests from the left with a knife. There was a TV with Jigsaw on it on a shelf on the top right before guests exited the scene. Guests then went down a black hallway before entering the next scene.

The next scene had Peter Strahm with the Water Cube on his head as he struggled to breathe. While guests were distracted, a Pighead would pop out at guests from the right behind a door.

Guests then went into the next scene where Jill Tuck could be on a chair atop an elevated platform as the Reverse Bear Trap had gone off. She would pretend to be fake and then pop out at guests. A Pighead would also pop out at guests from the left on the elevated platform. Guests then entered the Bathroom Trap.

In the bathroom had a bunch of corpses and a UV arrow pointing to the next scene. After that, Lawrence Gordon would open the bathroom door, jump out, and then close it. Guests would enter the next scene, The Buckethead Trap, which had a flashing light and three mannequins, which includedMalcolm Neale and Ryan. Carly would go out and reach to scare guests.

Guests then went down a hallway to then enter another hallway with flashing lights, hanging bodies, and saws on the walls that would move towards guests. Guests then exited the hallway and saw Billy the puppet on top of a dumpster bin. A Pighead would pop out from the right of the dumpster bin and guests would exit the maze.

Trivia[]

  • This was the 3rd time they featured Saw as a maze at the event and it drew scenes from the entire franchise [1].
  • The maze was originally called Saw Legacy since that was the original title of Saw 8. Since the title of Saw 8 changed to Jigsaw, the title of this maze changed too [2].
  • A majority of the maze consisted of reused props and set pieces from the previous two, with the only completely new scenes being the Pendulum trap, Jill's death, the decaying bathroom, the bucket head scene from Jigsaw, and the buzz-saw walls scene immediately following.
  • The facade was an obvious choice to them, the abandoned plant that is Jigsaw’s lair as seen in Saw 1-4 [3].
  • Stepping inside the abandoned factory guests discover Jigsaw’s secret lair and Billy. The puppet from the 2009/2010 Saw mazes had to be rebuilt/majorly refurbished [4].
  • They used Billy as a thematic thread through the maze, appearing twice in the flesh as well as on video displays [5].
  • The next section was the Razor Wire Trap from Saw 1, which was also featured in the 2 previous mazes [6].
  • The Angel Trap was supposed to be before the Rack Trap, but it was cut and changed to a black hallway [7].
  • The next trap, The Rack, is from Saw 3. With this maze, they just keep increasing the gore factor [8].
  • The Rack Trap had to be rebuilt for this House [9].
  • The Pendulum Trap from Saw 5 was something Murdy really wanted to do back in 2009 but they didn’t have the space. They made room for it in 2017. The blade functioned like a clock pendulum. Once it was started, it would continue to swing but could be easily stopped to switch performers [10].
  • Staying with Saw 5, The Water Box Trap was the next scene. It’s basically an acrylic box within a box. The actor never gets wet but by viewing him through the bubbling water (via a well hidden air hose/aquarium pump), it looks like he’s drowning [11].
  • The next scene, Jill’s Death, jumps to Saw 3D (AKA Saw 7). This was a new one like the Pendulum Trap. Murdy wanted to create a scene where the guests would have all their focus on the dead girl in the chair and then hit you with a Jigsaw Pig. And then the girl jumps [12].
  • The next scene takes you back to the bathroom, which was the main setting for the first Saw film. But this time we did it as it appeared in Saw 7 with all the rotting bodies and Dr. Gordon as the antagonist [13].
  • There was only one sequence from Saw 8 in the house because I was only able to screen 10 minutes from the film before designing it [14].
  • The scene from Saw 8 was actually a lot more complicated than it looked. Performers with metal pails over their heads with chains around their necks being dragged towards a buzz saw. So many things could go wrong so they specially designed the headgear to be extremely lightweight [15].
  • The red and blue dials on the buckets were bottle caps [16].
  • The final scene had buzzsaws on both sides of the path coming through the walls at guests. These were special custom built rigs being controlled by blackout performers off set. Each performer controlled multiple blades that were attached to a single rig. And they were soft foam [17].
  • As guests exit the abandoned factory they discover Billy sitting on top of a dumpster. Billy pulls their focus so they don’t expect the Pigman coming from the opposite direction. Classic “distraction scare.” “Game Over" [18].
