The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. I've been there, it's a lovely place but the movie? LOL sort of can't get that out of your mind while there.

Is that the actual location? It does look like Calmwood! Saw the shining as a kid. Was pretty scared! :oops:

It DOES remind me of the overlook hotel! :lol:

Seriously good idea! Especially if its snowing. Looking forward to seeing someone do this! Perhaps you should do it jwlizard? :D

I'm good with ideas, but when it comes down to execution... yeah, not so good :D I'll leave the artwork to the talented

Yep. I lived in Colorado for a few years and actually didn't know that was the hotel. We were out playing tourist and visiting different places and saw the sign proclaiming it as the location for the Shining. It is a really creepy place, lol.

Google it, might give you some design ideas if you see the way their grounds are, etc.

I don't think I've seen your town but seriously....I really like your shining idea. You should definitely give it a go :D

Oh wow, you actually got to go *bows down* we're not worthy *bows again* :D

I am completely jealous, very cool :) I wonder if you have to pay extra for room 237

That's an excellent idea! jwlizard FTW! If nobody does that I sure will (eventually). :)

I'm pretty sure a bunch of Tappers already thought of it and are working out killer designs. Every single one of them is cussing me for ruining the surprise :lol: I'd like to see your version, you have a very aesthetically pleasing Springfield :)

Check out the maze from the shining!

Wanted to use it as a creepy mental hospital, so I put it in my Halloween area near the bad dream house and cemeteries

Mine is going to be by my hospital. It's building on a bare piece of land as of now.

When I enlarged my maze I tried to do this:



To make it right, it's gotta be huge! I wasn't sure I wanted that much of my town devoted to that maze. I tried and then realized how much land it would have to take up. I remember seeing that movie when I was 10 (even secretly got to book to read without my mothers knowledge. :oops: ) I've been a fan since then.

Indy hates to let the torch go out, but that would take some serious messing up of my town.
