    I am willing to bet my ticket the HHN team was paid a to do this zone as advertisement for the upcoming movie. 

     

    You’re kinda right.

     

    New York was supposed to be a Ghostbusters zone, but Universal was having budget issues with pulling it off (specifically renting an Ecto-1). 

     

    Sony cut cut them a deal for Zombieland instead.

    What do you use to sketch out the photos in your rough draft? How do you get the ideas and whats the easiest format to write out or present the maze? Sorry for all the questions I'm just really interested in the process of designing a maze.

    The concept sketches were done with the Adobe Draw app for iPad with the Apple Pencil, and I just write the synopsis in whichever word processing program I have available (mostly Google Docs).

     

    These ideas just come. This house came about, mostly, from some work I was doing on a different house (Literary Terror) that includes a "Shakespeare" scene. I was second guessing the best play to use, when I realized Shakespeare could support a whole house.

    What did you think about the 80s theme at this point, last minute idea kinda put on for the event or because they had acquired Ghostbusters alongside Stranger Things? 

    They stated last year they were interested in exploring the 80s further, so this year isn't a surprise.

     

    Older properties are also cheaper. It gives them a bit more leverage to go after bigger names (like their pursuit of Game of Thrones).

     

    That said, Orlando is less 80s this year than last. They have Stranger Things, Ghostbusters, Killer Klowns, and... That's kinda it.

     

    House of Thousand Corpses/Rob Zombie are 90s. Universal Monsters are timeless. Zombieland is 2010s. Sure, Depths of Fear is 80s-inspired, but not directly connected so far. Maybe the Graveyard house will be connected to the 80s, but I doubt it.

    Oh okay, well I mean I still hope they announce something soon, at least one more house or just the scarezones before next month. I'm thinking they'll probably throw something for Stranger Things like they did last year. 

    An announcement is partially prepped. Orlando is behind schedule on their coast-specific stuff.

    Yeah but if you look at how now Mike and Murdy both realizing how impatient people have been, have been trying to their best to throw tweets but I think the leaks have been really stressing them out, maybe Murdy since majority of the properties revealed are California's. 

    Orlando has no exclusive IPs this year...

    Whilst i understand why you think this, for someone like me a price increase that dramatic would probably mean i'm no longer able to attend or would have to cut down the amount of nights i do attend. I travel from the UK every year and get a FF+E and spend £500+ ($630-ish) on flights alone. To then be spending another £500 on my tickets would mean that's £1000 ($1,300) before i've even eaten anything lol.

    I’m also from the UK and do have some sympathy for this. It would be good to have alternatives such as a 14 day pass, whereby you can go as many times as you want during a 14 day period (similar to theme park tickets). Would help international visitors who currently either have to buy individual night tickets or multi-night tickets where they realistically could only attend a small number of nights anyway. 

    I can support a new “week pass,” or package pricing similar to Magic Your Way (lower per night costs based on how many nights purchased). As the event runs longer, something like that almost becomes a better option than RoF.

     

    I literally stopped attending because it got too crowded for my taste. An RIP tour is the only way I’ll go back. I want to see Universal curtail attendance while maintaining profits.

    Those are Disney ticket annual pass prices for a seasonal event. They would literally have to start killing people at the event for me to ever even consider having my butler buy those tickets for me

    That’s kinda the point.

     

    But, here’s the thing - a single night’s admission cost $100 before discounts. So, if you’re attending 4 or more nights, a $300 RoF is still a better deal. If you’re attending 11 or more nights, a $1000 FFP+ is a better deal. And both of those night counts are completely reasonable, as they’re 20%-30% of the total available nights.

    Yeah, they talk about FFPs being abolished every year.

     

    I know some (@Legacy) have advocated for abolishing them because it might thin the crowds a bit.

    I’m for eliminating them or drastically increasing the prices. I think they can make more profit and improve the experience by doing that.

     

    Here’s my proposed pricing (AP discounts in parentheses):

     

    Rush of Fear : $309.99 ($239.99)

    Rush of Fear Express : $449.99 ($344.99)

    The first 17 Event Nights

     

    Frequent Fear : $399.99 ($374.99)

    Frequent Fear Express : $549.99 ($489.99)

    EVERY Sunday-Thursday event night PLUS the first two weekends and the last Friday event night.

     

    Frequent Fear Plus : $649.99 (No AP Discount)

    Frequent Fear Plus Express : $799.99 (No AP Discount)

    All Sundays-Fridays, the first two nights and the last Saturday. Includes parking.

     

    Ultimate Frequent Fear : $899.99 (No AP Discount)

    Ultimate Frequent Fear Express : $999.99 (No AP Discount)

    Definitely hoping it isn’t true. I’ve just heard from friends of friends that an entire house was just recast, scareactor wise, and that’s whats fueling debate among them 

    I heard that too. A different direction with character design would cause that though. It doesn't mean the sky is falling.
