We skipped last night's presentation. Anyone else go? Got some highlights or key points you remember? I'm glad Universal listened to the feedback and opened the lounge to those under 21. Let's just make sure not to do anything to make them regret that decision. (;
-
A few ground rules -
1. This is not an open forum to flame anyone or anything.
2. If you want to rant about something, please explain why. Saying that something sucked is not enough.
3. There will be no fighting.
4. Remember to fill out the HHN Survey when you exit the park for the night.
Now that we have that out of the way, I'll start -
Pulsing the lines Sunday night was not a good idea. Lines that should have been (and were advertised to be) short were taking two and three times their normal time because of the pulsing. Sure, it's a good idea, but it's just not feasible.
The Express line for the Hallow'd Past starts much too far back. At the point where you join the line, you still have a considerable wait.
My group and I were told we need to "walk faster" by one of the ops in the house. We were moving a pretty fast pace as it was.
One of the coordinators in Saws 'n Steam told mz_, JackLover, and I to stop asking the guys to pose for pictures. We don't ask people to pose for pictures. And, even if we were, the coordinator should told his guys not to pose for pictures instead of lecturing us.

The whole standing up for an hour and 15 minutes thing did, indeed, suck. I think T.J. mentioned they will try to get chairs before next week. That would be most helpful. And, there wasn't anywhere to buy booze. The advertisement indicated that booze would be available from waitresses, and I didn't see any.
-
Yea! I was going crazy guessing who was saying my name in Catacombs.
Victoria - Really doing a great job in Hades. She seems like a veteran already.

I doubt I can make it, but if anyone one goes to the Extreme House or ESPECIALLY the Icon one, please take notes and lots of pictures!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll buy you a gift!
I went to the Extreme House one with JackLover and mz_. It was about an hour and 15 minutes long. It was very cool. T.J. went over the house in great detail, scene-by-scene. I can tell you that it was to have involved coffins, a bus, and an electric chair. There was going to be a code word or phrase that you could say if you wanted to leave because it was too intense. The phrase suggested by one of the designer's children was, "I'm a fluffy bunny." Lots of other members were there, too - Dr. Jimmy, Rob, Jim and Judy, so I'm sure someone could give you a more full run down. Or you can find me, JackLover, and mz_ one night and we'll tell you more about it. It's too much to type out.
Pictures from the event -

MrBungle did an awesome job last night with CDT.
Justin did as well in 20 years of fear. First time I saw multiple people fall down!
It seems like everyone's warming up to their spots and getting even better.
And I still wanna know who's calling my name in Catacombs.
-
Who said my name in Catacombs last night? That was freaky!
It was also nice to finally see Armyofrobots in action and know it was him! Yea! And nice meeting you, as well.

You can get a double at Chez Alcatraz or Finnegan's for $9.50. If you drink liquor, it's a much better deal.
-
if it was B, it was the other guy cause I'm on A. Carl and Dennis are my chainsaw guys
Clearly I'm confused. Next time, I'll look at the teeth.
Someone in Hallow'd Past blew in my ear and then my hair and said "Nightmares." That was pretty awesome, too.
-
that would be cast B
Thanks. Armyofrobots was the Wolfman. I don't know who the Jack in Fear Revealed was, though. I think it was the cast Kim is not on.
-
Last night was a great night. It was my first opportunity to explore on my own (with mz_ and JackLover, of course).
Kudos to:
20 Years of Fear scarezone peeps. I'm not sure which cast, but the one with Justin as chainsaw. A lot of you scared me last night, particularly Jack and Wolfman.
C_D for scaring me again. I was not expecting that growl in the ear.
Matty, for the extra surprise in Havoc.
-
C_D in action!

Drew, Mark, Jenn and I caught Malice last night. I thought the show was great. In addition to the magic you'd expect, we got a lot of good laughs. Also, there was a lot of audience participation, which I thought was nice. I definitely recommend it!

Why pay $25 for something you can do with good timing and multiple houses?
I'd be curious to know what house(s) you got to go through on your first trip through completely alone. I've been going to the event nine years and have gone every night of the FFP in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009 and only been through a couple of houses alone and certainly never my first trip through.

Great pics! I'm particularly fond of the baby crying in its stroller. (:
-
I agree with everyone else; it's not very good at all this year. I give it a 2 out of 10. It only got a 2 instead of a 1 because of the Count.
-
Why did you switch, if you don't mind me asking? It seems odd to downgrade, in my opinion.
On a side note, I can't wait until the pictures start coming in from Opening Weekend. It's exciting.
Well, I just have the Canon Rebel XT with the kit lens and one 50 mm low light lens. I wasn't really getting that great of pictures because the camera has a lot of noise at high ISOs. I considered upgrading, but I don't like carrying the DSLR stuff around with me. It's heavy and the camera bag is big and bulky. Plus, when I'm drinking, I turn in to a klutz. . . or turn in to more of a klutz. (: The point-and-shoot I got is the highest rated one and is especially good in low light situations. Best of all, it fits in my back pocket!
-
The pictures look great. When it comes to the icons were there just lines waiting for photos with them? I might have to be one of those people waiting in line some night I go.
Yes, there were lines. That's why my picture of the director is so cropped; I cut out the other people.
-
I was on the most amazing PR tour with JackLover and mz_ representing the Nightmares. We didn't get a lot of time for pictures, but here are three that I did get. A disclaimer; I'm still learning my camera; I just switched back to a point-and-shoot (Canon S95) from a DSLR.
