now that we know that the walls do indeed only block off the sidewalks, we now know that HHN only in the studios is doable, but might cause some heavy congestion between the disaster house and the tent exits.

that pretty much explains it i seriously have never met a person who liked this house. Fangoria did a terrible job with it, considering we know they can do much better. look at Leave It To Cleaver, a pretty good house that had a nice blend of comedy and scary.

my suggestion was to stop at mummy and block off the problematic area, amity, and san fran, which is, like you said, basically the whole studios. But since the map shows the pathway through amity still, then my guess is that at least for now we're looking walls up to the curb of sidewalk a la DM style, causing plenty of congestion on a busy day, or during any HHN night. And yes, FFL isn't going anywhere unfortunately . And you're right. even if the walls only block off the sidewalks, that still causes some pretty bad congestion considering the fact that B&T exits right there, Disaster! exits right next to that, and the tents exit right over there too. so, imagine the crowd in amity on a peak night without the sidewalks. My guess? A MAJOR change to HHN this year. But in what way? we won't know until May, when the permits are pulled for house locations.

the 2 park for 22 is an obvious thought to have and definitely can be pulled off. if it were to go 2 park, i see no reason why they would open all of the studios. i think it should be at the farthest the sprung tents, exit at MIB like normal and have that ride open. hell, they could still do B&T in FFL if that was the case or another show(which is not a bad thing). san fran and amity should be left out if its a 2 park ordeal. on the islands side, theres no reason to close any part of it since the SZ's would probably be Marvel, Toon, JP and possibly LC. if Potter isn't allowed, then just use the bridge to cut across or leave it open if not. that's a LOT of walking. this is an excellent point. im sure plenty do mind the walking during the day and would still mind it at night, but they'll still do it. and i don't think they'd jack up the prices just for HP. i predict the ticket will go to 83.99 next year to keep on track with the price raises. the upgrade to do HP isnt a bad idea either. i never heard of a noise complaint about the coasters. they're always open past 10 on the days uni closes later than 10 unless they're doing something like fireworks which causes a safety hazard for guests. from 02-05 hulk and dragons were open all night i believe. it'd be nice to experience a 2 park event as i missed that event back in 04(by 1 year ), but i dont think they'd do it unless they had absolutely no way of doing it just in the studios, and the only thing that could do that (in my opinion) is if they completely wall of Amity from Tuesday all through October. also, keep in mind that there's more restrictions as to what they can do house wise in IOA, specifically the locations in JP.

im about 99% positive they'd NEVER shut down B&T for a year. members of A&D have said that it's a staple to HHN and is never going anywhere, so don't worry about that. my suggestion was only said if the entire Amity was to be completely walled off(which i dont believe will happen) and FFL stage will be demolished(but uni renewed a 2 yr contract with FFL, so the show stays ). the event will most likely operate as usual with the 8th house either in a new tent, a second house in the parade building or another SS. also, i think having potter closed at HHN would turn out to be more problematic than anything because plenty of people that do ride rides at HHN would want to go on those rides.

Animal Actors can't be used because it would wake up the animals. Beetlejuice is too small and would interfere with the house right behind it i believe. theoretically, they COULD film B&T and make it 3-D and put it in T2:3D, but it wouldn't be as great an experience, especially since it wouldn't change at all over the course of the event. The bridge is indeed there, so it could be put to use to cut across HP. B&T can go in the Toon Amphitheater or Sinbad on the Islands side. Seuss isn't allowed to have HHN activities either, but the rides were open 02-05, but that's up to J.K. Rowling to decide. plenty of people would be pretty pissed if they couldnt ride FJ/DD. IMO, they're really isn't THAT much dead space for a 2 park event if you map it out right: SZ in: POE Marvel Toon JP Twister side of NY and Plaza of the Stars Hollywood BLVD roaming SA's in LC and connection of parks. Houses in: Carnage Warehouse SS22(line in Studios) SS23A(line in Studios) SS23B(line in Studios) Sprung Tent 1 Sprung Tent 2 SS20A(line in IOA) SS20B(line in IOA) Discovery Center B&T in Toon Amphitheater Horror Make-up Show(i don't understand why they wouldn't open the Horror show during HHN O.o) Rides:Hulk, HRRR, Mummy, Spidey, River Adventure, FJ and DD(if HP is open) Queues for the SS's might be a problem, but besides that it doesn't sound bad at all. it'd be nice to get another house too. But i don't think they would do all of that due to the cost of it. i only see it necessary to move the event if they wall off Amity completely. if not, build another tent or make another SS house and there's no problem besides possibly B&T, because we don't even know if the FFL stage is closing or not.

they can use nazerman's still, but that would be an incredibly short house since they can use the Starbucks building anymore. i've heard that come January 3rd, walls will be put up at either end of Amity. if this is true and it lasts through october, the crowd flow of the event would be a complete nightmare. i think that would be the only situation that calls for an IOA/2 park event.

1. it's just THING this time. 2.FOREVER, not a while. that is all

i went through twice, both were excellent walkthroughs. i guess timing is everything. like how i went through Hollow'd past without seeing a single SA then did it again another day and saw all of them. but i thought that house relied the least on timing. how you can think any house last year was worse than zombiegeddon is beyond me though

TCM is from 07....lol. i just read a few posts above.....WHO DIDNT THINK CATACOMBS WAS BRILLIANT?!!?

i wasn't into HHN as much as i am now, so i didnt know about LT and everything yet, and i didnt know of any back story/tie in yet. and without that, 08 wasn't that great. there were only 3 houses that were excellent, IMO. the 3 SS's and Doomsday were ok, and RoF was horrible, thats why it wasnt my favorite. it's my least favorite in fact then 2011, the back story wasn't very present at all at the event, Luck was shunned to an alley and a photo op in the beginning of the park. but, all 8 houses were incredible, something i can't say about any year that i've gone(05-11). that's why that's my favorite.

someone didn't like 2008 very much . but i agree. i rank 08 as my least favorite year (05-11). i understand everyone loved 08 for it's incredible backstory, but i prefer great houses over great story. look at 2011 for example. the theming was not very good and Luck was barely present, but all of the houses were incredible. i'll list my top 10 i wish i saw as well: 1.All of 2002 besides Fear Factor 2.Ghost Town '14 3.Hellgate Prison '14 4.Psychoscarepy '13 5.Scary Tales '11 6.Body Collectors '05( i went 05 but the line was 2 hours ) 7.Dead Silence '07(i went that year too. we just didnt see it ) 8.Dungeon of Terror '91 9.DIE-in '03 10.Deadtropolis '14

i think that's more coincidental than anything. 2005 was the last year that was all original, so when it went back to the studios in 06(all sequels), 07(movies/sequels), 08(legends/sequels/1 original), and 09(movies), it wasn't the greatest work of A&D. last year and this year still wasn't completely original, but it was original for the most part, and most fans liked these past 2 years more than the previous studios years post-IOA(with the exception of 08). what i don't get is when people say there will be too much dead space. only Seuss and HP are off-limits for SZ's. just turn the lights off, throw in some fog and music and those areas are taken care of. then put an SZ in Marvel, POE, Toon and LC are still available. since there's only 4 Sz's then, just make them cover the entire island. just a thought, but i still rather it in the studios.

woops. i fixed it thanks for the heads up!

haunting of Hawthorn Cemetery you mean? lol

2011: Nightmaze: i was shocked this happened, but this was probably the best scare i've ever gotten at HHN. i was towards the Mel's side of the SZ and my head was turned backwards watching these 2 teen girls getting scared. i turned my head back and a SA blended in with the tower came out of no where and stuck his hand in my face. my heart was racing for a good 5 minutes lolol. Acid Assault: i was walking towards THING, and a male SA came up to me. we started circling each other when a female SA came out of nowhere and yelled in my ear. i jumped a good 20 feet lolol. In Between: the first drop door in the floating head room got me real good. Holidays of Horror:Lincoln. need i say more? this was a very successful year for memorable scares

i guess i'll throw in my bottom 5 as well: 5-Body Collectors: Collections of the Past 4-Zombiegeddon 3-THING:Assimilation 2-Reflections of Shit 1-The Spawning

HP is indeed off limits to HHN. if the pathway has to be blocked off during construction, i could see them doing an IOA-only event. not being able to have a full circle in uni during HHN would be horrible with the crowds. in IOA you have a full circle. it doesn't matter that you can't do anything with potter, imo. turn the lights off, throw in some fog and you're set. same thing for Seuss. then put SZ's in POE, Marvel, Toon, JP. if that's too little of SZ's, then they should add another house or 2. it could be done. With a 2 park, there's even more deasd space plus a LOT of walking, so i think an IOA-only event would be better.

i believe it's used currently as a break room for employees sounds like that must've been a hell of a house location plus, if they indeed take down the FFL stage, where could B&T go?

couldn't they do it like they use to and just use the one side of nazzermans? they have enough room to build a bunch more, so that's possible. could they do that with all the floats in there?

the empty SS right next to the lagoon across from mel's

hopefully this makes them do another SS or a second house in the Parade building.

you didn't like orfanage, but you liked THING? O.o to each is own i guess i don't get the hate for orfanage i thought it was an awesome house, but spawning and RoF were both horrible
