If this hits, can we make August 15th Final Reveal Day for years to come?

Well, we can hope there's something on the official site, at least. With this hitting though I doubt it's going to be much longer at all.

I has been two years since i've attended but for four years in a row I had made it a point to make it to Orlando, it was interesting to watch the severity of security procedures increase. The last time I went, it took my party 45 minutes to move from the spinning globe just outside the park into the gates to a point where we could walk without being caught in a crowd. That's 2-3 houses with an express pass. But as you said, there's a greater need for security based on events occurring in the world that hadn't been considered or prepared for. We're all going to suffer for that garbage in the long run.

Back from a long hiatus! Hello again, all. Dead Man's Wharf sounds interesting, if only because I recently beat the Fallout 4 DLC themed around a harbor in maine. So that's fresh in my mind. Chance in Hell and Banshee's Lair are tied for second, with the other two resting at the bottom of the barrel anticipation-wise.

On our unmasking the horror tour someone asked the guide about this. His reply was that they simply stopped using PS for this year, that there is no conclusion to that character at the moment.

For my tour they failed to mention the "no video" aspect until our exit from walking dead. Worked to our benefit, but still: no video during the tours

All of the jack stuff should be available next weekend. My aunt spoke with someone last night about the jack bobble head and was told all of those goodies should be here in a week

The wait times for houses are on the website under "extras"

The completionist in me wants to recommend the opening scaremonies. But 2-3 houses before the crowds start to pile up is enticing as well. I'd say it depends on what you'd rather see; You're going to see the houses anyway, it's just a matter of what time/how quickly you want to see them.

Just about six hours to go until the event goes live. I wanted to get the sentiment out of the way early and say it has been another fantastic 9 months of speculation and discussion. I want to wish everyone a happy haunting season! Okay, that out of the way, I'm curious about Herschel's barn. Is it packed to the gills with walkers or is a nice burny smelling place to stop and enjoy a beer and hot dog?

Yeah, have to agree there. I had started making the shirts my thing to buy at the event but that tag line is terrible.

Generic saws...any theming to speak of or just a bunch of costumed actors with power tools

Oh typewriter, how we love thee

I recall that conversation from a while back. It's not that I dislike the masks, they work real well for displaying decay, tissue damage, etc. that would otherwise be corny with make-up. I was more insinuating the effects from the show that involve hours of make up and a combination of make-up and masks to offer a convincing visage of undeath aren't possible. The masks'll do the job just fine

That guy yelling...If he was just a little more quiet about it, it wouldn't be an issue...But damn. That's going to haunt me every time I go through the house if it persists like that.

It's just going to be about a little imagination. They aren't going to have the budget to pull off the exact effects from the show, sadly. Last years zombies weren't awful (save for the inability to do the reach/lunge scares), and I think TWD house could still pull off a few decent scares based on distraction and misdirection. Isn't that all that 'magic' is, anyway?

Agreed. It has the potential for good scares, but I feel that would be entirely attributed to the design team and their creativity. Couldn't really credit the remake for scare factor. As was mentioned in a previous post, some of those who saw the first film were a bit underwhelmed by the remake, so that could cause a disconnect with the property becoming a house. Had they done this prior to the remake...That might have been a little different.

Yeah that's what I would assume as well. Having watched both the original and remake, I could understand how a house rendition could feel drawn out

9/29 - 10:30 (+3)

1. Resident Evil 2. La Llorona 3. TWD 4. AWIL 5. Afterlife 6. Evil Dead 7. Cabin in the Woods 8. Havoc

I called universal today. If you purchase both tours you may not see six different houses. They'll try to mix them up between the two tours but frequently they will overlap one or two

Excellent. Police station to be included in house if we're lucky

Chernobyl? O.o

Yeah suppose that does indeed work for cabin in the woods as well. But if its from the facility standpoint and not the whole multiple environment point of view, it could work with RE being more of a focus.
