Honestly what the PCs came up with was much better of an idea and if I were the GM, I'd of burned my notes and went with their idea of the Everfree. No reason a thick dangerous forest can't be maze-like.
So much this. Take the old notes, run them through a word filter to substitute all the relevant nouns, and the players will think you were a creative mastermind the whole time.
Nobody will ever guess you just have a few spare points in plot forgery.

"As you make your way through the forest, the trees seem sparser than you recall and ample sunlight spills through the thinning treetops.
"The undergrowth however, more than compensates for the lack of trees, rising up thickly around as you push your way deeper into the forest."
Roll perception. Natural one? That's fine.
It isn't until you see the marble benches flanking a water fountain that you realise you're now in an enormous hedge maze."

Well, I'm done spreading chaos.
Worldwide.
I think it's time to focus a bit more locally.
That hedge maze looks nice.
A bit too nice.

Neon signs only work if you're already looking at them. You need some means of getting the attention of Ponies NOT looking in that direction.
Use something noisy. Like trumpeting fanfare and a marching band.

Steal Pinkie Pie's one-pony-band equipment. it needs a comic page to make up for not being used with the parasprites. Now THAT'S fanfare!
Tell the truth, I put a mark on miss violet vampire there(even I think that was a bad story).
That way, no matter where they decided to go, I could mess with them.

You just said the one I can't do.
Reverse personality, yes.
Mind control, no.
Ponies have a weird ability to say no to chaos taking over their minds.
It hurts just thinking about it.

Or what about that time you made evil demon beavers,
If you want someone to look at something then tell them they look at something before they have time to think otherwise.
That's why I like using roll20. When you have a map you can just put things on, you don't have to discover every last thing before the players can start jumping to conclusions.
And when they find out Twilight was on the right track later, they are going to give the DM hell.
Ahem... Player you are not going where I want you to go... So I will discreetly tell you the place you need to go because you are too stupid to notice where I need you to go
Does anyone else know why the same riddle in the show lead to Twilight thinking they were referring to the maze?
Though admittedly, the maze itself was entirely a red herring.

I think it was mainly see the maze from the window of the castle and Twilight could not thinking something else.
Second Part? That is not important? I'm forgetting something that could be important? Don't worry, that is not important, Only I have reason, the rest of you fools need to follow me.
And, unfortunately, these Element Bearers are veteran Adventurers (mainly), so they are a lot more thorough.
Which, can be an issue as the maze is a red-herring, and the DM has had issues with railroading in the past.

I am so glad my lukewarm take about riddles last comic was met with validation and fruitful discussion about puzzles in general. Not what I expected.
