I posted this on the Penn and Teller thread but I figured it should be put here too.
So on the whole P&T appearing in their house sometimes......................They have cancelled all of their shows starting on October 13th until October 20th. After that they have a show scheduled on the 26th in Connecticut. After that they appear to be off until November 3rd. You can see this info for yourself at the following links.

^thanks I can book my trip now...Thank the heavens its early enough to not have to cut my arm off for plane Tix
Don't go booking because of that. Honestly I don't know if it's even anything. It could be something, it could be nothing. I'm just putting the info that I found out there.

I watched the movie for the first time on Friday. I must say as the movie did kind of suck the set pieces and characters will make a great house. I'm very pumped for this house now and can't wait to see how they pull some of the stuff off. I'm gonna try to play or watch silent hill 3 in the next few days so I can get the gist of that one. I'm much more excited for this house now than I was a few weeks ago.
-
I think it may not be an IP announcement today. Maybe one of the original houses. Of course it could just be Alice Cooper too.
-
If these Penn & Teller rumors are indeed true, what a waste of a house.
You missed my point entirely dude. From the get go I was talking about taking obscure properties and turning them into houses. For some odd reason Bill and Ted was brought up, which is a show, not a house.
You missed my point too. Creative can do great things with things you wouldn't expect to be good or have anything to do with horror. I was the same way as you regarding P&T but have since done my research and feel like coming from the mind of Penn Gillette it COULD be a great house. It could also suck and you'd be right but I at least have to go through it once before I start saying it sucks.
-
My fault, I forgot Bill & Ted are featured in a haunted house every year.
You're still reaching. Nowhere in my post did I say anything about Bill and Ted being a haunted house.
-
Karras, no offense but you seem to be the one reaching. He laid out 3 things for you. Bill and Ted has absolutely nothing to do with Horror but yet is a staple every single year. Arbor day? Easter? Nobody ever thought of those two holidays in a horror sense before HHN. HHN has a way of taking normal things and adding a Horror twist and they do it very well.
As for your question, someone like me feels the house makes more sense for everyone involved. How can you expect Penn and Teller to drop their show in Vegas and their tour to do HHN every event night? The house allows them to have a presence at the event without having to give up all the money they could make touring and in Vegas. The flip side is Universal saves a ton of money by having them do a house and not a show. Obviously a show makes more sense if your looking at it from the standpoint with no budget constraints.

well last year 7 scarezone and Grown evil had actresses with some cleavage costumes, so, I don't think there is much problem inside the park no?
I do agree that is dumb for people to complain about this when there are billboards of girls in bikinis, I mean, This IS Florida...
No, not a problem inside the park, although I do wish they could go a bit skimpier but that's the dirty old man in me. Some people will always find something to complain about no matter the subject.
-
I always go back to this statement. If you don't like it, don't go to the event. I kinda understand censoring billboards but once your inside the gates as far as I'm concerned everything should be fair game. Oh my god lil Jimmy just saw cleavage *Gasp* just doesn't work for me. Keep lil Jimmy away from the event and you don't have to worry about him seeing it. To me the age restriction should be the same as a horror movie 17 and up unless accompanied by a parent. Then maybe we'd get the event we all really want which is uncensored and somewhat extreme.

About the use of the characters in the Walking Dead: I was under the assumption that they weren't going to appear in the first place except for maybe a queue video. I kinda figured the way they would present the whole story would be that you are in the group following along or having to meet up with them or something along those lines. It's probably more for marketing and advertising than actual house use.
I agree, it has to do with marketing and advertising. I don't know what the real issue is but hopefully they get it taken care of soon. I do tend to believe that we haven't seen a website update due to this issue but expect one to come soon with the Silent Hill info.
What if Silent Hill was a backup plan for TWD and we're just getting a generic zombie house based on TWD instead of a house promoting the show? I don't really care either way, I know if there are zombies, an RV and a barn it's supposed to be TWD. The characters don't make or break it for me but I'll be much happier and I may geek out if I see Michonne and the pets.

The shhhh could also have to do with TWD. On the show walkers are attracted to noise. Silent Hill would be the obvious choice. Of course it could mean absolutely nothing too.

I'm actually interested to know the answer to this. Do they drug test in order to be a scareactor? If they do and you test positive for marijuana in Hollywood and you have a medical card would you get an exemption? I'd think in Orlando you wouldn't get the job automatically but in Hollywood it may be different due to state medical marijuana laws. It's something I've wondered about for awhile, just never had a reason to ask it.
-
I'm going to have to comment and ask, why do you must ask this? I get it you try and it you wanna audition, however why ask in a forum thread when you could just PM someone who works there?

Would you just PM someone and ask them a question like that out of the blue? He's new here, maybe he didn't know how to PM.

No clue if they test or not but if you did it only once a few weeks ago you'd be fine. Marijuana's active ingredient THC stays in your system for up to two months depending on frequency of use. You say you tried it which to me means you took a few puffs of a joint or pipe which means you'd be fine. It would stay in the system for 2 months for someone who smokes all day every day for years. If your telling the truth about your intake it would only take about a week to be out of your urine. Blood is around the same time but I highly doubt they would take a blood sample. Truth is it all depends on many things such as your intake, the quality of the buds (THC content) and even your weight. If your telling the truth though you'd be fine. Say no to drugs (and I use that word loosely in this case) and you wouldn't have this problem though. Your from Fontana is that California? If so do you have your medical card? If you do, you may be able to get away with it even if you test positive.
-
I'm happy to hear we may get 8 houses and 7 zones but I'm skeptical until we get confirmation I'll still be skeptical. Of course it would be great if the whole Never to soon to start panicking was a dig at us on the forums like I said it was a few weeks ago.

From my understanding, the decision on Photograph was made before it was deciphered.
They won't change because of complaints about a rumor. While they care about our thoughts after we attend, they can't trust our opinions in July.
Ok thanks. I was told on a different forum that they would change things if people complained enough. I didn't think that was the case so i figured I'd throw it out there. Glad to know the truth.
-
I've also heard the rumor of Silent Hill possibly being shifted to Soundstage 20, if so we may lose the "Dead Exposure" style house. This rumor has something to do with the floor of SS 33. But I have also heard signs of FAKE being in 33, so I don't know what is the actual situation, Hopefully we will still get 7 houses.
Is it possible that they switched locations due to Silent Hill being an IP? If the signs of FAKE being in 33 are true my thoughts are they decided to give Silent Hill the higher profile location. Maybe they decided to not do the Dead Exposure style house after reading these forums and decided to go another route which opened up SS20 for Silent Hill. Of course until we see a permit for 33 I'm concerned about that location actually being used.

However, the amount of incessant whining I am seeing about what may be coming is astounding. It's simple. If you don't like like what they're offering, DON'T F---ING GO! No one is making you attend.
Agreed, there is a difference between criticizing the event and whining. I'm seeing a ton of whining.
And I'm really not trying to start a conflict but I wouldn't bitch if my parents were giving me a free vacation to Halloween Horror Nights, even if it was the "worst year". In a few years the days of free vacations will be long over and you'll be wishing your parents were paying the $7000 for your trip.
So true. I wish someone would pay for me to come down there every year. I wouldn't complain one bit. The truth is it costs me between 3 and 5 thousand dollars every year and I know for a fact other people spend more. We have a right to complain a bit if we don't like the event. If your Mommy and Daddy buy your ticket just be happy and enjoy it while it lasts.

How can 6 houses be a good thing? am I reading this right? that sounds awful, specially when there won't be any good scarezones or rides open or anything, yes they might be able to spend more on the houses but the lines will probably be 2 hours each on peak nights, I don't see how that is a good thing, that's a terrible thing, 7 houses is a bad thing, but 6 houses is a horrible thing, I mean, if they had 3 shows or more rides open or something maybe, or if they had big scarezones,
I explained how I thought 6 houses could be a good thing in my post. I'm trying to be positive, it's hard but I'm trying. I said I think 6 houses could be positive because more money can be spent elsewhere. Before that I even said minus the lines/crowds because your right they will be terrible if you don't have an express pass. As I said I'm trying to stay positive. My first year there were only 6 houses. I enjoyed it enough to continue coming back year after year so to me it isn't the worst thing ever. We're spoiled now and it will hurt to lose 2 houses but we'll have to deal with it for this year. All I can really say is if your not happy hit the exit poles or just don't go to the event.

Wow, I don't check the forums for 2 days and this is what I come back to? I guess I will start from the top. One scarezone is interesting. I'm expecting the roaming sz's to focus on Walking Dead considering the zombies that move around are called roamers on the show and in the comics. It makes sense and has been right there for us to put 2 and 2 together the whole time. I feel if done correctly with a ton of scareactors it could be cool. 6 houses hurts but could really improve the event minus the lines/crowds. Needless to say express will be a valued commodity this year, oh and don't think for a second they don't know that. I fear the prices for express may be on the extreme side. I think 6 houses could be positive because more money can be spent elsewhere and it appears it won't be on scarezone sets. Hopefully it's used for hiring more scareactors for the roaming sz's and somehow making better houses. Of course it worries me that they seem to have purchased the rights to 3 different IP's. I hope we don't get the 3 IP's at the cost of overall quality of the event. I'm trying to be positive here as you can tell since I know first hand that Comcast loves to cut budgets. I had to deal with several of them in my time as an employee there.
As for P&T being the focus of the event. I'm going to try to be positive, I can say we've complained about Fear and Lady Luck, the last 2 icons so they decided to go in a different direction. They decided to do an event just presented by P&T instead of giving us an icon to complain about. Of course that opens up a whole new can of worms. Different direction, same complaints. Not sure why on earth they would decide to go with P&T but it appears they did. In a way I feel that they feel like they're giving us what we wanted, it sure is different at least. It's not what we wanted obviously considering what I'm reading in everyone's complaints. We wanted a good iconic icon, someone to strike fear in our hearts. Not 2 comics who are sometimes edgy. This is coming from someone who loves their show on Showtime and enjoy their magic. The most edgy thing I have ever seen from them is the knife through the hand card trick or the bullet catch in the teeth. Yeah most of us like the comedy houses but we don't want our entire event based on comics. If they had to go with comics I'd much rather see Joe Rogan host the event. At least he'd have the help of magic mushrooms and bloody UFC fights to help him design a house. Who's next Carrot Top? Ok, ok so I'm getting away from my positive view but I think you guys and gals get what I'm trying to say. I don't like our horror event being hosted by comedians but I'm going to give it a shot anyway because I'm a sucker for HHN and spending the event with my friends.
I plead with everyone if we get the event that is rumored let them know. They always have the exit polls. Don't hold back, tell them how you feel but please at least give it a chance before tearing it apart.
I can see that. I think they have been phasing out scare zones since 2005. All houses with two shows
How exactly have they been doing that? Can someone explain it to me. 2008 was a great year for sz's and so was 2010. I have not felt this way at all in fact have felt more emphasis on scarezone quality than years past. Maybe someone else can set me straight???

I think you can video in Orlando if you dont have the big flash thing on it and the Ops people dont see it under a jacket maybe? in Hollywood you just cant have aflash thing on it. I think they arent as uptight in Hollywood as they are in Orlando.
Hmm so what your saying is your allowed to video in Orlando as long as you don't get caught? Nice one, I like the way you think. It's like saying you can take alcohol in but only if it's in a plastic bottle so it can't be detected by metal detectors and is strapped to your body somewhere that security can't see.
Does anyone know if you can take video of the daytime lights on tours?

Just putting my two cents into the IP vs original discussion, I must say I enjoy a mixture of both. As previously said nothing is truly original anymore though. If we we're to get 8 houses (obviously not this year but in future years) I'd like to see an absolute maximum of 4 IP houses. That leaves 4 original houses. It's a good balance for me. I like the original ideas because they're original or somewhat original at least but I like IP houses because it's the movies or tv show coming to life. Universal is a movie company so it only makes sense to do houses based on their movies. The whole ride the movies tagline sticks out for me. I like to experience what I've seen on the screen. I like to immerse myself into the movie so to speak. You can't immerse yourself when it's an original idea in the same way you can with an IP house unless your like us and come on here to find out every little detail about the house. I like to understand the story behind the house that I'm in which is obviously easier to do if you've seen the movie.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes divorce and scientology. As for songs I think we may hear Pitbull - Back in Time.

The info is rock solid. It's on their website for the Rio in Vegas and on the Ticketmaster website. They have canceled the dates. What we don't know is if it's a coincidence or if there is something to it.
