Leads On Hard Haunted Mansion Story Through Social Media

Hi Everyone,

I unfortunatley was unable to get input or information on my inquiries through my Facebook and Twitter accounts. in response to this, I decided to conduct research using these social media sites instead.

I have been using Facebook and Twitter to conduct some research into my story for my second project in J309. My story is about how security measures and new rules regarding attendance to Hard Haunted Mansion will be enforced and how this event is publicizing itself to avoid scrutiny in the media that has been directed toward raves lately.

I unfortunatley was unable to secure interviews with the organziations invloved with Hard Haunted Mansion nor with organizations that oppose the event. However, I have been able to find information regarding basic facts about the event through sources such as Twitter and Facebook.

Through the event's Facebook page I was able to find facts such as the new curfew the event has, unlike the later one it had in the past, as well as certain security measures that will be enforced at the entrance. This information will allow me to conduct further research into why and how these measures are being enforced this year.

I have also found (through a Facebook search) a site that is againts raves purely for all of the factors that make raves what they are. Although I was hoping to find an online parents group opposing this specific event, none could be found.

Twitter, unfortunately, yielded fewer results with all of the relevant searches I did. From my research on Twitter I did however discover that many people are still planning on going to the event despite the accidents and fatalities at other raves in the very recent past. Here is a link to one of my searches.
