Notice the sentence. Things just got exciting. When the rumors started, I thought there was no way Orlando would leave The Thing if it were on the table. So what if something(IP or Original) were changed & now The Thing is coming back to the event? It just makes sense to me, especially since Mike really loved the maze & the property & i'm sure would jump at the chance to do another one. Of course it could be something entirely different but just my thought process..

Yesterday there was a post on UO's Twitter about an HHN Q&A that was postponed until Thursday. An announcement is coming, whether its Icon, House, Full Ticket Prices or a combination of them.

Why does it have to be a Scarecrow? Why not a Path of the Wicked original maze, it could even be the 3D one or have the vortex this year. Kinda like what they did with Asylum, another scarezone turned into a house, just a thought.

Like i've said numerous times, Murdy wouldn't turn down having the Big 4 plus The Exorcist & the two unannounced mazes this year. I do hope we get Conjuring next year as a share. IP Fans are in heaven this year.

Personally I think when Zombie comes to Orlando it will be with HOTC & this will be based off the original Halloween 2. Should be interesting with the location & what surrounds it. Looks like the whole park will be busy this year not just front or back.

The idea I had was that Chance was an intern at Shadybrook, it's her first job so she's very excited at the prospect. She works with a Nurse Ratchet type whom everyone hates but fears. Around this time Jack Schmidt is admitted & after a few weeks, he ends up killing the nurse leaving Chance now in charge of his care. From the beginning she is intrigued about what he's about & starts to become infatuated. Months go by where they interact daily & slowly she falls in love with him. He knows this & uses this to his advantage as he knows he's about to break out of Shadybrook. He tells her to come with him, she hesitates at first but slowly & surely she starts to change, the attitude is now darker, still as bubbly as before but now replaced with hatred for one man, the same name Jack keeps repeating over & over. Oddfellow. So its set that they are gonna run away together & get Revenge on Dr. Oddfellow for everything that he's done to Jack & now by association Chance. They go Mickey & Mallory on Shadybrook & leave it a path of destruction with bodies everywhere. Jack & Chance head towards the Carnival to became anew & to get that final revenge & do just that one night when Jack kills Oddfellow. What everyone didn't know. Oddfellow had a secret that no one was aware of, he came from a rich family & they gifted him control of Shadybrook when they passed away so Chance was treated like garbage in the beginning by the owner of Shadybrook over the phone but never in public. Because by that time Oddfellow had another business venture he had to attend in person, a Carnival. And the rest.....well all will be revealed at Halloween Horror Nights 26. It's her turn...

I think i'll join you guys, might be fun to watch for a while.

I have no way to know if i'm right or not but I can't see Alice(Asylum) or Run being used. Uncertainty about the Shrek location & they never use Disaster houses due to safety issues. If I had to guess at this point i'd say TWD, Blizzard, Anniversary, Insidious, Freddy VS. Jason are guarantees for the tour. AWIL is the Wild Card & due to what it used to(& should still) be I want The Purge included as well. I can't see them not showing off the two soundstage originals & i'm guessing also that they will try to get the sprungs used in the morning tour due to it getting so hot in there in the afternoon. Last year we spent next to no time in the sprung in the morning because of the heat. TWD, Insidious & Blizzard- Morning FvJ, Anniversary & The Purge or AWIL- Afternoon. I think they should've added a 4th to each tour so we could see 8 houses only missing Run but perhaps that will be on the table for another year(30 my guess if not before, by then we could tour all houses since Disaster won't be used by then. Just my two cents.

Ok Rumor Time. Via HHN Rumors yet again, code names are posted. We know Round 2 in 24 B is Freddy VS. Jason, Blizzard in 24 A, Harry in 22, Reboot in Sprung 1, Beyond in Sprung 2, Dynasty in Parade, Spandex in Disaster, Party in Shrek & No Code Name Needed for 21. So to recap it sounds likely that a few locations that were rumored may be proven different once the houses are official.

And there was no announcement apparently. Now we continue to wait...

Announcement started at 2 pm EST. It started with a USB drive & will most likely end with a major announcement. Let me just leave you with this idea. Only a Doctor may know what might be announced in the U.K. today for #HHN25. Could it be? Who knows. Might wanna exterminate this quick. Of course I could be wrong. Who knows.

A blue police box does jump to mind, perhaps dream a bit bigger. An AWiL return announcement would make sense to bring the U.K. crowds to the event but then again i'm not sure its major enough. Perhaps something else, Who knows.

Scream 2 would work in Shrek due to the finale of the film but i'd much rather have it in a Sprung. Alice+Scary Tales= Win Win.

Given what's supposed to be the first in park scare zone, it makes much more sense to flip Shrek & Sprung 1.

Same exact issue I had when I tried to buy my tickets. I ended up calling Universal and buying my ROF from them directly. I hope next year they solve the AP login issue.

Couldn't agree more. I'd love to see Jurassic World in Disaster since its such a small walking path. Would be terrifying.

A couple items about this statement. It's basically confirmed that Insidious Chapter 3 isn't coming out on DVD until October & by then the event will already be in full swing. With Jurassic World this week & the line-up of Inside Out, Ted 2, Terminator Genisys, Magic Mike XXL & Minions in the coming weeks, Insidious will have a short shelf life on the box office & be gone by mid July at the latest with all the blockbusters coming out. I think Insidious should've been the first announcement to play on the new film which is what I think will be a part of our house & the basis of Hollywood's maze. So I would announce it quickly before people seem to forget about it & without a DVD release to promote, it may get lost in the shuffle. With TWD & Insidious most likely confirmed to be coast to coast, I think there may be at least one more somewhat shared IP but it's anyone's guess at this point. That being said it will be hard to announce Insidious as a share since that leaves Hollywood at a 1-2 disadvantage. Unless Hollywood announces something that is just for them soon after. Then we can progress in announcement season.

It all depends on if its just our reveal or if its a share. If its us only, there's a good chance Round 2 would be AWIL(2013 being Round 1) but if its a share, it's either FVJ which does make sense to be first if its the focal point along with Jack's return or Insidious due to the film coming out over the weekend & they need to announce it soon before Jurassic World, Inside Out & Ted cause it to drop out of the Top 10 Box Office. Then again its still not a guarantee Insidious is a share either, it most likely is but you never know. Round 2 could easily just be the second announcement as well. A lot of ideas going around, I look forward to finding out the truth tomorrow.

TNA has been using Soundstage 20 since returning. They haven't been in 21 for a while, they were in 19 prior & set up shop in 20 what seems like permanently.

Perhaps Run is being done this time around in an abandoned toy factory(which would explain the teddy bear) where you have to survive by getting through a maze of colorful characters such as Clowns with Chainsaws & perhaps Eddie at the very end. It might be the general successor to Giggles & Gore.

Just seeing that, I think it confirms its "Halloween" not From Dusk Till Dawn"

No rumored info on the cost plus Express but i'd say add $130 to each ticket as a starting point.

Don't forget all the speculation that Jack would have a new look for the 25th.

I agree with Jeramy & Doc both. Its always more fun to speculate why you are arriving at the solution than the solution itself. Perhaps Cassi has stepped aside & we may not see her return. Who knows what will happen next, perhaps we need some Legendary guidance to steer us to the right Paige.

Tease info throughout the year to build up more anticipation. Get the gp to speculate along with the diehards to what is coming. It would help to have a regularly updated year round website giving us back stories to appeal to everyone. Get everyone excited again for the event.
