^ Nope, I got it from the park's E-newsletter you can sign up for on the website.
Since the new attraction teaser replaced Mind Warp on the list, I'm going to assume Mind Warp is out and the attraction count is staying the same. An' as Monkeybeast mentioned, it's confirmed that a new maze will be between the log flume and Tremors.
With 3-Dementia I'm expecting new effects, and probably the vortex tunnel since those are a staple in 3-D attractions.

If Mindwarp is out then its a virtual certainty the spinning tunnel returns in whatever the new attraction is as it was the most effective showpiece of Mindwarp.
I'd be curious what other effects would be in 3Dementia, hopefully a few more tricks then what was in Mindwarp and some real sets would be nice too.
Even with modest changes the new location could do alot for the experience since it pushes things away from the entrance of the park and spreads the offerings more evenly. Mind Warp wasn't very noticable just off Blood Bayou and looked pretty neglected in the far off corner of the park.
In a location like this makes the maze easy to pass through between hanging out in the scare zone, heading to the coasters or experiencing Terror Canyon.
Now I just hope they have beefed up the content so it can hold people through like Terror Canyon and the other offerings do. The event needs to spread people out and keep things running smoothly. Lines for Timber Terror and Scarywood Express are likely still going to be the worse things in the event for now.

Just wanted to pass on some info I came into today while waiting to audition. They are NOT doing a different theme in Terror Canyon. It will be "farm" but is course it will be improved from last year. Also, i asked about the zombie shooting and i have to say, she was very, hush hush and vague. Quickly changing tyre subject. She did, however, confirm they would be expanding into roller coaster alley. Oh and something I'm a lil excited about, new sound system for Zombiewood Express. Yay!

Great news from everyone! I can't wait to hear more about 3-Dementia, but I agree that I think the spinning vortex will definitely return. That had to be a bit of work to build, so I can't see them tossing that out the window. When I did Knott's Haunt back in 2005 they had several attractions where you wore 3-D glasses, and it made it hard to tell where things were so it was easy for actors to pop out of no where. Should be good, but I'm just glad that they're adding something new.
Again with the zombie paintball, I sure hope you're right monkeybeast. I just don't think it would be possible to do that type of thing logistically. It sounds awesome, and would truly be a one of a kind experience (especially if it's on the train ride), but all I can think of is one problem after another with the actual operation of it. And, the train is already the slowest line; I can't imagine what it would be if they really added this. If they do actually go through with it, I just hope they've got it figured out how they'll handle the demand and guest throughput properly.
I guess we'll find out soon enough. New sound system for the train sounds great though!

I think we're getting closer to getting a site update of 3-Dementia and the other attractions, various tweaks and updates are being posted on the Scarywood site.
Case in point, -They've posted a link for visiting tips on the front page -They've also changed the various social media icons into nifty tombstone ones.
Over on the schedule and prices page, they're now mentioning that you'll recieve a free May 2013 ticket for every Scarywood ticket you get. (I believe they've been doing this since they started back in 09')
Also, if you're a season pass holder, the park now has a deal for opening weekend.
With these little updates to the site, I'd say a attractions update ain't too far away.
UPDATE- 9/12
The website just added new descriptions* and now lists 3-Dementia. (No logo yet)
3-Dementia - This NEW 3-D attraction, a once pleasant fun zone gone horribly wrong, gave rise to a distorted mass of anarchy. What lies around each corner, one never knows... Bah, ha, ha, ha, ha!.
Blood Bayou - Experience the Blood Bayou with all new scares for 2013. This indoor haunted attraction from your darkest imaginings will challenge reality and keep you scared with every twist and turn of this diabolical scream machine!
Zombiewood Express - Mild-mannered Steam Engine No. 7 will transform into a fortified zombie hunting machine that will take you on an action packed battle that only the fearless will survive. New stunts and scenes will keep you on edge.
*= So far Terror Cayon Trail's description is the same as it's been for the past couple months.

Never as much new information as I'd like lol. I'm really hoping 3Dementia turns out leagues ahead of Mindwarp. I'm not sure what kinda twists will go into Blood Bayou this year. Finishing out the final hallway was a great deal last time but what more can they add now? Blood Bayou seems like it is going to be the biggest challenge for them to keep fresh while also being one of the more technically impressive attractions they have. Terror Canyon was pretty much perfect last year so I'm ok with it staying mostly the same for now. It seems to have finally found its place assuming it doesn't rain anyways (it was pretty flooded and misserable the first night I went last year). I do have to wonder what will change with the Zombiewood express is that is another attraction that has been getting better with each rendition overall. I will say I'd almost be curious to see if 3Dementia mixes elements of Mindwarp with the orrigional clown carnival scare area to have the county fair area change themes this year. Or 3Dementia could be a continuation of the theme as they seem to be rather compatible.

The park really could use a bit of theming out near the coasters even if its just a simple lighting package and some jack o lanterns.

This is true, I'm just curious because some peoples definition of all new is different. Like it could just be an all new theme and not an all new location. It really depends. Alot of the carnival theming from previous years could work rather well as special effects for a funhouse type attraction. This would then free up the main corridor to be rethemed as Oddities. Or it could be that Oddities simply fills in for an area that hasn't had many scares and could use them, which to me is further into the park around Coaster Country. I always figured this area was left sparse as the coasters are doing a decent job of drawing people back there and you'd have to pass through the other scare zones to get there anyways. At the farthest end of the park it'd likely have the least exposure too. I'm REALLY curious to see if and how the entire park gets into gear this year I appologize if I sound like I'm being a minimalist but I try to keep my expectations mediated, I love Scarywood so I'll be happy either way though the more things change the better
