Dead Inside

The first house announcement was in June last year I believe.

From Teebin: "WD is kinda sorta maybe correct... but those SZ's are goofy off. Word is they are putting false info out to new employees and underlings in a certain marketing department. Pisser if they catch them." This isn't good news.

Something I find interesting is that none of the houses in Jimmy's April Fool's video are happening. We're getting a ghost house with Insidious but that's it.

I'm guessing that's Hellgate

They can always add more to next year's plate. Kong is going to be opening very early into the year, so Furious for the fall/winter would be when it opens. Would it be possible for the second show to move to Animal Actors' stage? EDIT: JungleSkip on OU is saying all of San Francisco is being demolished.

2017 already has the water park and Twister's replacement, so it would make sense for Furious to open next year. Could it be possible they demolish the building towards the end of the summer but keep the queue and Beetlejuice for HHN?

Honestly? Yeah. HHN would have 2 of the 5 highest rated shows on television at their event, it would be insane not to share them.

OI is saying Disaster closing might be why the house count goes down to 8: http://orlandoinformer.com/page/articles.html/_/blog/universal-orlando/exclusive-hhn-fast-furious?pg=2

They've done it in earlier years with Dungeon of Terror, Psycho, People Under the Stairs, and probably a few others that aren't on the top of my head.

I would hardly call RHPS popular. When I went last year team members were holding signs and shouting for people to watch it.

Keep in mind that if Beetlejuice goes they could put RHPS/The second show in Animal Actors.

If I had to guess, Comcast might have pushed Fast and Furious up on the list and we could lose Disaster and Beetlejuice before the fall.

I'd be surprised if Scream was in a Soundstage and not Insidious. Both can easily be done in tents, but Scream would be in a tent before Insidious IMO. This part at the end intrigues me: "a surprising twist that may cause the lineup to be cut back down to the normal eight mazes. We’ll cover all this – and more! – in part two, coming Sunday night."

Could the monsters potentially have moved to the void between DM/Shrek and NY to fit in with Monsters Cafe?

Would this be it?: Production Central- Children's stories NY- Sideshow Sting Alley- ? Hollywood- Icons/Anniversary zone Mel's- Classic Monsters (potentially cancelled) Central Park- Trick or Treaters

But we (well, most of us) don't know all of them yet

Quick mockup using last year's first mockup:

Taylor at OI confirmed TWD will be in the Parade Building.

Would "Icon House" be the better term now?

If the new location is a 3rd tent, I'd expect it to either be Insidious or Hallow'd Past depending on how big A&D wants to make the latter.

Unknown has all but confirmed there will be a Classic Monster scarezone at Mel's.

Now that we know more details, my new guesses for locations: Soundstages (or the regular 4 if the 9th house will be elsewhere): AWIL, Body Collectors vs Shadybrook, FVJ, Hallow'd Past, Insidious Disaster: Run Parade: TWD Tents: Scream and Wonderland

If it is indeed Body Collecors, all originals will be sequels. Quite the anniversary year!

My thoughts: TWD- This season doesn't translate to a house and I'm expecting it to suck. FVJ- I'm excited for this one. Hopefully A&D does their own story like AVP. Insidious- Meh, I'm indifferent. Everyone said Hollywood's house was great, so hopefully it's as good as their's. Scream- As long as it's based on the movie and not the MTV show, I'm looking forward to it. AWIL- I never got to experience it the first time around, so I'm glad it's returning. I can see how people are pissed it's returning, though. Hallow'd Past 2- Providing they choose the right scenes, this will be great. Run 3- This is the house I'm most interested in (not most excited by). Hostile Territory wasn't exactly acclaimed from what I gather and recreating the first would be impossible with today's crowds. I'm sure A&D has something up their sleeve. Asylum in Wonderland- Big potential here. If there is a 3D house this year, this will be it. Blizzard- The codename is intriguing, but we don't know much about it (or I missed something). My order of excitement from most to least: HP2, FVJ, AWIL, Scream, Wonderland, Run, Blizzard, Insidious, TWD
