chainsaws in a maze xD i've always loved it since the TCM first appeared
-
Loving the scream lighting.
They have to do the ghostface masks on at least the lampposts!! Even little touches like that makes for a better atmosphere.welcome to the HNN family
glad to have you hear with us.The entrance looked great as far as the lighting went. Otherwise it still looks like the same old dull entrance we've had year after year with 2007 as a exception. sigh* well theres not much you can really do with it. Well if they created a whole bunch of stab props and sets that would of been nice but i know they wont be doing that. So ill just remain use to the fog, go go dancers, a statue of some sort and chainsaws.
-
we really need a new TT ending. It is getting old.....or wait is old repeating the same process year after year. Hopefully murdy can spice it up this year so i wont be entirely bored at the end
-
after seeing this video theres no denying that its that time of year again. Everythings basically finished or getting its finishing touches and now we wait the remainder of these 5 days til the gates are unlocked
-
^^^ your right. i totally forgot they stripped benefits from the AP holders as well
-
seems like a lot of people are going opening night this year
see you all there. -
No doubt, the HNN part is definitely from the TT video.
yea i kinda figured it would be thanks.
If I'm not mistaken, it looks like that scene was filmed on the hill. We still don't know where the actual Stab-A-Thon takes place... I wanna know!! AHHH!!!
hmmm good question.i figured they just make a whole bunch of sets before you get to the hill part of the TT.
-
might be a stupid question but will there be any chainsaw scares from elites in here ? maybe steven can let us know
-
i wonder if some of the footage seen in the bts video is a part of the terror tram video
-
i always like to hit the lower lot first and with two mazes down there i was a bit torn of which one to go to first. Now im for sure going to hostel cant wait
thanks for the info steven. But you also said "Alice Cooper didnt have shit on Hostel" i hope that doesnt mean that WTMN was bad :/ -
Yeah, he only does it for several words in ONE song, and many reviews are erroneously saying it's an "Autotune album". And you think that's not bad enough? He RAPS on one track - albeit intentionally terribly.
As I was listening to the first track, I was driving home, and thought I heard the tell-tale un-natural warble of Autotune in one word, so I immediately rewound, and cringed when I heard it again. I let it bother me way too much, and it poisoned the rest of the song (and CD). But on the second listen through the CD, I focused on the 99.9% that was not Autotuned, and "got it". Even though Steven only reappears briefly in this album, it's just long enough to seal Alice's fate.
In the original, Alice was a boy, afraid of things that kids are afraid of: the dark, things under the bed, what their toys do at night. Back then, Steven was banished to the recesses of Alice's mind. It's now 30 years later, and Alice is still afraid, but of things that a 40 year old would be afraid of: lawyers, being forced to work for the machine, women who may be the devil, and of course - disco. Steven awakens in the first song, and this time he's not going away.
wait the autotone and alice is true
i need to listen to this albulm -
yea personally i like the wolfman in the HoH. like grindhouse said it already has one wolfman room in it already.
-
the cupons are the same as far as the discount for GA tickets the night I always go (Friday of the last two weeks of october) are always 5 bucks off and and $25 max.
well i wasn't referring to the nights you go lol im talking about overall. The minute i looked at the ticket discounts i could off the back tell that the deals were better last year.DTH just listed them above ^^
-
Alice+Autotune=WTF 0_O
so the villian of this maze will be Steven?
lol that would sound out of place. And its either steven or alice cooper himself as the main villian
-
Honestly im glad wolfman is in the HoH. im not a fan of the wolfman and i didnt like the remake. A maze at hhn? yea i can dig it but wasting a full maze on it would of been a waste to me. But then there's the "theme rooms" problem in the HoH. And its not only for the wolfman its for anything thrown in the HoH. Murdy and his team need to find a way around this so it won't be a continual problem every year. Hell maybe they fixed the problem this year we wont 100% know until we see the actual attraction for ourselves. does anyone remember the wolf at the end that was used as a final scare in the van helsing maze ? i think that costume would be perfect for a ending but it doesnt look like the wolfman lol. Unrealistically speaking you know what would be cool ? If they used the wolfman hoh overlay during the daytime and night (with hhn having a few more additions) that way they wouldnt have to switch up the decorations,audio,lighting or props. But that will never happen lol
-
thanks Dr.Satan i been anxiously waiting for them to release the first BTS video and it looks great
im so excited -
we understand the sharks gonna bite us maybe we just didnt think it would be this hard lol. Like DTH mentioned earlier it would of been different if they slowly did these changes year by year. Instead they just hit us with it all now which came to a shock. I guess it mostly only effects people who buy these special tickets. The regular general admission wasnt targeted as hard as these special tickets. Well actually the only good discounts you really get are on killer deal nights. The coupons hardly even help this year. But the general admission tickets time can be coming soon in the near future
-
I'm excited just cause one of the characters of this maze has a chainsaw... VERY cool since there weren't any indoor chainsaws last year... they're relatively scary in scare zones... scary as shit when you don't see it coming. Now that I think about it this may be VERY high on the anticipation list... there's just so many unique characters! VERY COOL!
yea chainsaws in a maze our good scares. we first experienced that in the TCM maze which was VERY GOOD!
On another note thats a good twist this year to switch up the soundtrack on the elevator. Were use to hearing rob zombie so i hope they incorporate his music elsewhere throughout the park. It just wouldn't feel like HHN without it
maybe they'll play it as you stand in line to get to the HOTC entrance who knows. I'm not a fan or familiar with alice's work so im excited to hear his music and all throughout my trip down to the lower lot and throughout the maze -
^^^ the first part might actually work. I really dont think psycho was my main concern it was more of (the mummy area, chuckys room and the frankenstein lab) As far as your idea of chuckys room it just wouldnt work. Keep in mind that the props and redressing done in the wolfman maze cannot interfere with the regular daytime hours. And i doubt they would have enough time to put black sheets around the wall in that time frame between the closing and opening time of HoH during HHN. So now these three areas are going to be the theme killers of the maze. Im hoping ill be proved wrong and murdy will redress these areas properly enough to mix in with the theme of wolfman.

^^^^ what dth said grindhouse im not accusing you of being wrong by no means but im going to NEED SOME PHYSICAL EVIDENCE showing the sliders are staying this year because last i checked, they weren't.
Sure universal is a business and all and there motivation is going to make money but the way they went about it this year was a kick in our ass.Im not saying that prices would of never went up because hey they did and would eventually but i think the deals is what effected me most. Why should we have to pay more for lesser nights on a FFP ? i could see if it was $75 for more nights than i would have a clearer understanding. Once again the FOTL pass. Your paying more for a crappier deal than previous years. The list can go on but bottom line its kinda like DTH's example. They nicely invited us in their home and took care of us in our time of need and than through us back into the cold. If these prices keep growing and the deals become even worst my thoughts is how long is it before the fans begin to drop and start exploring other haunt attractions and dropping HHN from their to do list in October. i have no problem with a business like universal trying to thrive to make more money but honestly in ANY business the fans should come first. I mean come on there the one's making you money from the get go. It's important for an event like HHN to also look at the fans best interest because without them HHN wouldnt have grown to what it is today. I actually know alot of groups considering not to go this year because of the price changes and thats just more money out of universals pockets. The better deals and prices universal has the more money they'll make. The worst prices and deals they have the lesser money they make. It's as simple as that. Maybe this year you wont see a dramatic change because alot of people love what hhn has to bring but as the years go on the GP/fans will be thinking "hey this is becoming way to overpriced there is no way i'll be paying for that this year" and so on.

I thought HoTC was? ;o
wolfman is going to be in the HoH which is our longest maze. it is 2 stories lol

well i cant wait to hear what your announced as hobbz

HorrorNights93 input.
So the years going by and its finally the time of the year when we start getting the good info for Universals 2011 Halloween Horror Nights event. Universal starts it off rather well announcing a number of great mazes and hey even adds an extra one in the mix. But all stories dont always have a good ending. Everyone's awaiting for universal to announce there ticket sales and once they were announced smiles turned to frowns as we learned about the true motivation of Universal....Greed. HHN has continually grown since its return back from the dead in 2006 rather quickly advancing each year to the point they have made a good fan base were everyone will come no matter what. If the economy wasn't already bad enough and for the people who have to save every piece of change they can to enjoy this experience it comes to a shock when universal gives them a good slap in the face. The ticket prices and deals have officially gone insane. History was made first when they announced the FFP would NOT be returning! Now for me personally the FFP is my MOST FAVORITE ticket to buy every year for hhn. Being able to just enjoy the event numerous times through the month, explore it with different groups and to just overall enjoy the experience hhn gets to bring every year was a dream come true. Once i seen the FFP would not be returning i was automatically filled with so much anger i could not control. it was a HUGE "WTF just happened " Viewing it from universal's side hey it was a great way to make extra $$ , rip the fans off and keep the parks lines in better control. After constant bickering on every social network hhn is connected to the executives stirred up yet another plan to make more money for them. The FFP was announced for a return of 5 nights for $75 !! Now lets take a trip down memory lane. Me personally have been going to the event since 2006 so i've been with hhn throughout the whole growing process. When the Fear pass was first announced it had a total of 13 nights !! wow what a great deal ? but then year after year the total # of dates decreased til now 5. It would be foolish to say i didnt see this coming. The continual decrease made me wonder if they even approved of the passes from the get go. My fear is it will get to the point when it finally cease to exist. On the current route hhn is going theres no telling what would happen. Now its in no way justified that universal should make us pay more for lesser nights. Hint 1 that universal doesnt truly care about their fans as they portray themselves to. Like i said earlier hhn has gotten to the point where alot of people will go regardless and as fast as those FFP sold out in half an hour showed universal was right. Although it was a lame deal i still managed to get me a pass. $15 for each night basically isnt to bad but compared to previous years this tops off as THE WORST FFP EVER BY FAR! Enough with the FFP lets move along to the FOTL pass. Now im not a huge buyer of the FOTL pass but anybody with common HHN sense knows this is also a rip off. In previous years although the FOTL was always a little more expensive then average tickets it still had a benefit of letting you skip through lines all night as many times as you want. This year that all changed when FOTL pass fans were stripped from that benefit. Not only did universal up the price but they said "hey were gonna only allow you to go through each house ONCE per night and than if you wanna do it again then tough luck you can stand in line with everyone else " Now wheres does this benefit the fans ? well it doesnt....every single price change this year is aimed to benefit universal...and universal only. Strike 2 ! Universal see's the fans continual disappointment and anger and announces there will be a pass with unlimited line access to be released soon called the R.I.P experience. For a more expensive price you get that and other benefits. One that stood out to me was 2 alcohol beverages. What is hhn coming to today ? it starts off now as two drinks but will eventually grow to selling alcohol beverages throughout the whole park. When universal see's another money opportunity they'll take it. and what does this mean ? well more fights and arguements with SA's and other guest...NOT a good idea. Plus we are in LA which means a higher rate of gang members attending the event which i noticed last year. could this lead to hhn becoming more unsafe ? who knows... Now were hit with more disappointments. Carls Jr. is the only one advertising coupons -____- and not only is the coupons not giving you a good discount but also the online tickets hardly give you any good deals throughout the month. sighs* does this mean an increase in customers or a decrease ? I am starting to fear the prices in the parks. Will merchandise go up ? the cost of food ? i enjoy getting hhn cups and full throttle shots and if i see a price raise in those im going to be a very disappointed customer. Its perfectly natural for a Business to try and find more ways to make more money but what Universal did to us this year was plain wrong. Our voices will be heard though to the snobby executives making these cuts in their air conditioned offices. Lets not forget our 2011 hhn survey at the end of the year...and BEST believe every single thing mentioned here will be put on the survey from me that things need to be changed. and i encourage everyone to at that. heck if you see murdy around hhn address this issue with him and maybe he can talk some sense into them. As for now theres no telling where hhn will be going from here. hopefully back on the right tracks. Is this part of our consequences for demanding an extra maze ? Possibly but what is for sure is we been "Souled Out " And FYI we also lost another SZ, 2 are returning, we lost sliders:( and we have a repeat maze...SUCKS!

I tested the link and it's bad. Have you tried looking at the side of that photo for a direct link to post the pic on the forums? That's what I did with photobucket images. If you copied it from a url when it's on an actual page, then it won't work. Hopefully that was helpful.
BTW, I copied the link to my url and it just showed links to ads. Try what I suggested.
thanks freak ill try it later when i have more time.
If they wanted to spruce up the front entrance some, they could always install a giant LED screen to point out toward the ticket booths almost like how Orlando does to act as an "attract mode" for the front to hype people up for what is to come. Maybe give little video presentations of situations that the guest would experience in the mazes and/or scarezones?
...I say almost because of the whole ticket booths being behind the main archway & all..
cool idea.
Go-gos definitely are hot this year but I am bummed they are in the front of the park. I always have liked them better in the Klownz/new york street area better. I see them more in my night that way, compared to just seeing them when I enter the park and leave the park. My favorite still is the year they covered them in blood head to toe in the Welcome to Hell SZ
true. its like as soon as you see them in front of the park when you enter you dont see them again til the end of the night
They have to do the ghostface masks on at least the lampposts!! Even little touches like that makes for a better atmosphere.
see you all there.
i need to listen to this albulm
