I have...no idea what this means.

Nightingales? I'm not saying that the entire lineup screams "masterpiece" for me--I think it's best to go in with a blank mind. I'm just saying that there's nothing currently rumored that actively turns me off, like HDD last year.

I can say that of the speculated house lineup, there isn't any one single house that makes me want to skip (Blumhouse). Obviously a lot of variables happen, though.

It wasn’t quite as open as I had hoped.

Could it be an open floor plan?

Ok so Hysteria = Ghostbusters.

Seems similar to Dollhouse. Guessing this will be the flyer house?

The Purge The Purge: Anarchy The Purge: Election Year The First Purge Look Who's Purging Now (with Tony Toni Tonne!)

They had lost access to WB's properties by Christmas 2017, IIRC. We didn't really figure that out until around this time last year.

Glad you responded. That said, I'll believe "It" when I see "It." (Not meaning to be rude. It's just that my skepticism is through the roof after last year's spec, when It was a "sure thing." I was also looking through the AHS v2 thread on IU recently, and insiders saying that barring major events, AHS would be back at 28. Well, major events happened alright.)

"He was transferred." Boom, done.

The story, I believe, just said he went to "prison." Well, in the HHN mythos, why not Hellgate?

As I've said, a good backstory for this would either be his ghost becoming a demi-god of sorts and haunting the old studio (like Gabriel from Supernatural), or him and other inmates escaping and holding a TV studio hostage. About a month ago now, I watched a little of Kitchen Nightmares (specifically the most infamous episode, Amy's Baking Company) and thought that concept could make a good comedy house. So that would work as a scene in your idea.

By that, I meant from the first maze. As I've stated previously, it could be a good way to incorporate the UCMs, as well as a proper Hellgate crossover.

It should be a different theme, though (from holidays).

Thinking he might've been notified that he couldn't.

Highly doubt we see Usher this year, but yeah, an IP mashup in an original form would be a nice compromise.

A house that doesn't really have enough drawing power to be used in the advertising, but rather is there just to promote a new property. Basically its goal is not to draw people to the event, but rather to get people to go out and watch the movie/show/whatever. Fear Factor, Dead Silence, Doomsday, Thing prequel, Dracula Untold, Krampus, the Blumhouses...

HoTC would be the "synergy" house--more on the line of the Blumhouses than Saw and H4 just because it's nowhere near as known as those two.

Sadly only Hollywood will be getting an announcement. Probably UCM 2.

So this is just for one year where Uni might be allowed to use WB properties? If they were able to land a white whale like Conjuring or It, they better have as many rides open as possible--and sadly, they're going to have to make prices astronomical. Because otherwise, the crowds would make last year's crowds look like a local haunt. Could be much ado about nothing of course--member two months back when Alien was being teased for about a day?

I'm pretty sure that they've clamped down on leakers this year, so I doubt even Legacy knows. Could be wrong, though. I would expect them to announce something by the end of the month, but they seem to take a bit longer to announce houses on odd years, for whatever reason.

I'll help: it sounds like they might be doing a permanent attraction, and they decided to announce this after HHN had all its properties locked in. Then again, you did say you know something we don't.

Might've been a reason 4/6 houses in the Jaws queue (not counting the years when Jaws was closed) were poorly received. Saws N Steam looked pretty damn awesome, though.

From what I can tell, it was wildly popular for the first three years. 25 was when it seems like even the GP started getting tired of it.
