Its Spiderman 2.0... same ride system they've been working with since IOA opened in 1999... its not new tech like Potter or failed eye-sore (aka Rockit). It will be up and running with no issue.
Very good point!
-
*facepalm* ....really?
Given previous history with projects such as the red behemoth that must not be named - I don't necessarily think conjecture that the ride MIGHT not be functioning by October is totally and completely out of the realm of discussion, especially for Wishful Thinking. I'm aware it is a virtual certainty, and I certainly wish and hope it is open when it is scheduled to be.
Facepalm worthy? NIMHO.

Music is a critical part of HHN, but I don't think it should be a focus. Not when there are all sorts of other things that could be done instead, and to greater effect.
Before this gets implemented - could we maybe pretty please get AC Goes to Hell Not in 3D But With Full Orlando Creativity? Keeping in mind that casting is CRITICAL, of course.
Just wishfulling my thinking. Even as a party of one.
ETA: Zombie babies.

Lets have a shinning inspired house.
Heck, if they're gonna go for IPs - let's do a whole Treehouse of Horror house! That might be the ultimate in cheese for me. Not like they don't have some of the costuming already...

You're wanting original characters, but then say you want a house featuring the Traditionals? That sort've backtracks. Besides, as I previously stated once already, 2010's "The Orfanage" was a house based around the Traditionals. There was even an eprom (scareactor activated device that triggers effect/audio) that said "TRICK OR TREAT!"...
I wonder if many posters, when talking about "original content," are comparing to and differentiating with IP's moreso than with previous years' offerings. Maybe that would clear up some of the inconsistencies being perceived, and still allow for the wishful in wishful thinking.

I wouldn't say SS houses are better, they just have the potential to be...
I strongly suspect this is what most people mean when they hope for a house to be in a SS, not that SS houses are all innately better - although I obviously can only speak for myself. Silver Screams, Catacombs, Havoc, Forsaken, AC - all my favorite houses from the past several years have either been in a tent or parade.
But if there is a house that I'm particularly looking forward to, I would also like as many factors to be in its favor as possible - including a bit more room, a bit more control over lighting issues, etc. If a SS will provide that extra bit of potential, I look forward to that. That said, I personally believe a house I enjoy will thrive regardless of location.

Wait.... 256?
Don't you mean 262 days 5 hours 44 mins and 52 seconds?
Cuz last time I checked... September 27th was the start. If not, I gotta fix the counter before it roles out.
OH! I think we were assuming a start of 9/20/13 since last year's was 9/21/13. If not - oh, that's completely different. Never mind.

My preference is two parks, since my favorite year is still 2004. HOWEVER, I'll bet I would be setting myself up for a disappointment. Partly because I think nostalgia may be coloring my recollections; also - yes, it is a long walk to and from certain areas.
With another HOWEVER, if they could come up with some large and detailed scarezones a la Field of Screams and Fright Yard, then that would alleviate a lot of my remaining concerns.

So - is there any reason we (they) can't drop the "roaming" from the hordes, and have set horde scarezones? I think something similar was mentioned earlier, but - best of both worlds? Still no safe zones, though - please!
Hordes ftw! With special love to my Strengoit of course.
And to whomever suggested Repo! as a show for this year - that is just sick and odd enough to be a really fabulous idea.

Check this out if you guys would like. Maybe I'll make a wishful thinking blog here soon to give you guys my thoughts, wants, and needs for HHN 23
You get a like for the content and editing and a subscribe for the shout out. Good work hon!

Evil Dead is my favorite horror film of all time. That would be the bees knees you guys! The bees knees! But again, Knotts has also done an Evil Dead house as well. Not sure if that would diminish it's likeliness or not.
And JW, the houses you'd like to see are spot on! I went into Ghost Town when I was in elementary school so I don't remember much, seeing something similar would be neat. I believe it was HHN In Photographs that listed Ghost Town has the house they wish would get a sequeal for HHN 30 Day Challenge. I'd be up for that!
The Hollow 2, and another prison house, gah! These all sound really good. Hope to see these in the near future.
You get +1 for bees knees.
And Ghost Town was my favorite house for a long, long time. I'd love to see an equally impressive sequel/re-imagining.

In recent discussions I've seen about locations for an eighth and maybe ninth house, I don't see any mention of additional tents as had been tossed around before. While I know soundstages are preferable for multiple reasons, does anyone in the know think that another tent is out of the question now? Is all the construction/expansion eliminating possible locations for a third tent house? That is - is Uni running out of space? I thought I had seen elsewhere that Uni was attempting to re-acquire some of the surrounding property, so I may be thinking more space is there than what really exists.
So, anyway, the wishful thinking for me, again, is 8 - 9 houses. Even if someone has to pitch a tent.

I gave: Christmas cards.
I got: 20 years worth of holiday joy.

Also, anything and everything possible to eat up the crowds. I think TF will definitely help with that, but anything they can do to disperse the crowds among as many attractions as possible would be sorely needed, especially after the crowds that HHN and other activities have been drawing lately.
H.R. Bloodengutz for icon? Heck, why not?
To watch over a blood and guts event.And for heaven's sake, I really hope they don't skimp on the actors. You want to maximize your most valuable resource - they did get the numbers amped up toward the end when they added the additional zones, so hopefully they will continue and expand on that, both in streets and houses.
And yes, I'd like to see a mix of stationary sets and roaming hordes, as others have recommended. And continue with Horror Unearthed and/or LT. I dearly love when they cater to the fan community, and they were just phenomenal with us this past event year.

Isn't that third shot from Scary Tales? LOVE!

Since Uni has generally not had highly IP driven events in successive years, do you think that will most likely affect this coming year? I'm thinking 17, 19 and 22 had lots of IP's, so probably little to none for 23.

Let's see, given all the love I'm seeing for the Alice Cooper property thus far - let's have an all new Alice Cooper house, Alice Cooper chainsaw drill team, Alice Cooper go-go dancers, and Alice Cooper for HHN 23 icon! With an all Alice tribute to Rocky Horror in Beetlejuice
After all my silly foolishness here - yes, I would like to see Orlando creative take a shot at Alice Cooper Goes to Hell. Not in 3D, though, oh please. While I'd love to see it for 23, I do understand those who want it, but who believe it might be well to give a year or two gap.
I also agree with everything Reaper recommended - although I would prefer a two park set up to just IOA. Also, a return to 8 houses minimum, and finally bringing in that 9th extreme (upcharge, I suppose we must accept) house.
And I'd like to see a significant increase in psychological intensity and possibly the gore factor as well. I have absolutely no suggestions for how to accomplish that, but I'd like to see them take the sick up a notch at least.
Wow - that really was in the Christmas spirit, eh?

3. Ghost Town
The remaining are still in no particular order
S.S. Frightanic: Fear in First Class & Carnage Crew
Run
Gothic
Deadtropolis
Catacombs
Havoc: Dogs of War
H.R. Bloodengutz: Holidays of Horror
Psychoscareapy
All Nite Die-In
Leave it to Cleaver

You can see by the posting date that HHN didn't start until October back then. I didn't remember knowing about Eddie at the time that I realized Jack would be back - but I did get confused by the specialty cocktail being named after Eddie. I see internet fandom has been around a really long time - it sure has changed, though.

If they do plan on doing another AC house in Orlando, I hope they wait at least two years.
With house "series" like Scary Tales, Body Collectors, PsychoScareapy(SP?), etc., what was the shortest amount of time between any of the house sequels? Only one I can think of off the top of my head is the 2 or 3 years between PsychoScareapy HFTH and Echo's of Shadybrook.
Didn't they have a Screamhouse in 2002 and 2003?

Twi-not... the story of a forbidden love between a vampire and a Zombie Carl.
To watch over a blood and guts event.
