How much you think that they aren't going to try anything new with design of merch for next year?
It's going to be disappointing for the current people who got everything that they wanted this year expect maybe certain of ip shirts.
I mean unless they going redo it and put 2021 on the shirt.
I mean they can get Merch to come up with new stuff cause they have time. But why would they tho?
Also, I don't know about the shirts inside the park, but the team member shirts are made from Gaum and shrink fast at least mine did. I had 2xl to 1xl.
Also, You guys know that chilling adventures of Sabrina Is own by WB, but put out by Netflix. So basically with this year could had been a year of Beetlejuice(wb) and Hill house(netflix) they could easily gotten that Sabrina house.
What do ya think about the merch getting resold for next year? Do you think this going to be stop resellers from upcharging. -

So the final spec map showed a 30 years 30 fears zone and a anniversary zone. Does this mean there would be a Icon zone and a icon house?
So it's 25 all over again.
I enjoy 16 because each icon had a house. -

Does anyone have any predictions for the third room of the tribute store? My thoughts are:
- Old props from past events like they have in Williams of Hollywood.
- That screen printing machine they've had the past two years that you can get a shirt based off past years logos. They have the retro merch from 91, 92, 99, and 2000, so why not have the screen printing machine there so they can print other past logos from any of the 29 HHNs by request? This in turn would save them money instead of buying bulk shirts of every single year and not selling them all.
- IP Merch - Billie Eilish, Beetlejuice, Haunting of Hill House, and Texas Chainsaw stuff. With the uncertainty of Universal being able to use these properties next year, they likely already purchased a lot of merch for these properties and have to get rid of it. Who knows if Billie Eilish will be as popular as she is this time next year, or if Haunting of Hill House will be relevant still if their second season flops. Any of these four properties could sell merch really well by themselves.
Not saying any of this stuff will be in the next room, just theorizing and wanted to gauge peoples thoughts.
The Ip thing wont happen. They wont be spoiling their ip for next year?
I think they have an agreement with the ip holders, basically using the ip rights for 3 years. I do believe the business model would support that.
I don't think they would lose ip that was suppose to happen this year. Unless Warner Bros going to revisit haunted events again? Warner Bro has the corner of horror film. -
So The HHN Store is open and it's sure is glorious.
It's a looking to what is could had been for HHN 30 2020.
I don't think the store would had open this soon if they were going to do the event.

Anyone want talk about how now they can do a fall festival now?
-
I think that it had something to do with an few shared IP from Hollywood and Orlando. Ideally, they parks split the bill of the IP's.
Why do you think Stranger Things 2018 was in Orlando, Singpore, and Hollywood?
I think they did the math and saw the numbers still rising. I want to go so bad,I know that they cancelled it also due mainly to Covid 19. I just hope they recover.
If they don't recover enough money, then even if they have 3 years. If the company doesn't have the budget to do extra stuff then we might get basic hhn again -
So I have a question, How is the whole lagoon show going to work if the current area is for relaxing area. ?
-
I saw the Horror Night Store outside at night time, It looks pretty cool.

Patrick worked in Art and Design, part of Entertainment. Not Creative.
sure, then why did his house ( Dead Expouse) that he originally wrote got a sequel. He wrote and worked on numerous of mazes and scare streets.
Don't not say that he didn't work on the event. -

The blockout dates for this promotion are 10/11/2020, 10/17/2020, 10/24/2020, and 10/30/2020. You can find these dates by clicking the "View Details" link when purchasing the ticket online.
this promotion might be make or break for hhn.
I project that they might loose up on black out dates?
I heard from Twitter that Patrick from creative got let go as well. its a sad day. -
According to ZombieChris on youtube. He found a rip tour and unmasking the horror tour packages.
I was thinking that both might be limited to 8 people or something. I think it would weird. -

The point wasn't really about merch being cut. It was more pointing out the fact that they are cutting a source of revenue in general. Her art sold out both years because they produced a limited amount of it.
If they are willing to cut a source of revenue, what else will they be cutting that never created profit for them? They could cut 4-5 actors per house per cast. They could cut half the street actors. More rides could be closed. The water show (if it was planned) could and most likely will be cut. At this point, the only show I think we will get will be whatever they put in Fear Factor because they can control social distancing there. So, it could be AoV, a special 30th anniversary show, or the rumored and hoped for Bill and Ted return (which is doubtful, that will draw a big crowd).
Cases continue to rise at an alarming rate. With Disneyland opening pushed back, the Halloween party canceled at Disney, universal letting go of quite a few parks and resorts employees, and travel restrictions still in place for quite a bit of a the world, I'm starting to lose hope that we will be getting HHN in Sept. HHN costs a TON to put on but it also typically brings in a ton of money. This year, they need to decide if they take a gamble and hope crowds show up and nobody gets sick from attending which would cause more issues or just wait it out and do HHN 30 at the start of the year if things have calmed down.
Are you doubting that universal has the best in mind for hhn?
I don't think they are cutting revenue, they are just scaling back overall. They will still have stuff to sell. They turn a profit off all merch, Think about the shirts, they buy them in bulk 100k at 0.75 and sell them for 28 bucks that's like 200% profit off each shirt alone. Thats them spending 75k to make 2 million from shirts alone.
I do agree that the prints were cool and easier to make in house. They have a printing shop on site. They are just predicting that people won't buy as much currently, hence why they are having super discount sale for excess merch Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Why would they have a full merch team, if people aren't buying stuff from theme parks that are 30 bucks more than regular price?
Just because some layoffs or downscaling doesn't mean it's going to be bad year. What is going to be a bad year is that Covid 19 virus, I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't Unmasking the horror tour this year, Picture this 3 or 4 tours going thru the house during the time walking through the house with lights on and TOUCHING EVERYTHING. I personally think they might scale back on that because they would have to have a sanitize team in each house location which mean extra team member. I think they will do it but limit number of groups or people per group.
how many times have you walked through a house with holes in the spots. There are actually a lot of holes in a lot of houses. I recall in Carnival Graveyard, they actually had extra spots for an extra 5-7 people. Yet people didn't notice it, or didn't mind because they were having fun.
I don't think it but its really quality vs quantity issue. Would you rather have 20 alright scareactors in a house or 10 Great scareactors in house?

With the job cuts at Universal that happened yesterday, I am worried about what the event is gonna turn out like. I know already that the artist who did the amazing art sold in the prop shop and the now Bourne gift shop last year has been cut from the event this year. The fact that they cut a single artist, who's artwork was always selling out and hard to come by, is surprising because they cut a source of profit. They clearly made more money off the art than they paid her to create it, so why cut it? Makes me nervous about what other stuff is getting cut if they are already cutting sources of income out of the event.
They cutting everything this year. They don't want to risk something even if on paper and numbers show that it's sold out in past and sold well enough to bring it back this year.
They are predicting that people won't have money for merch?
I mean they announced a tent super discounted merch for next week for team members and annual passholders.
I want to see the merch like for this upcoming year.
I don't think that it means that we won't see that art again? I mean who know they might bring her back in the future.Merch is risky, I mean look at the HHN 25 prints ? Those were heavily discounted towards the end of the run and at the tent sale.
I believe they were thinking that those prints were going to be golden.

This is weird, if true, second restaurant used for hhn.
I think logistic It would be cool, but with the small space and no regular ride line. Unless this going to be a Virtual line.
How many Virtual lines would you like to see at hhn 30?
Do you think Virtual lines work? Some people found the loopholes for re rides,
I think it could make or break hhn 30.
I still think this going to be at Shrek because the vip tours go out of La Bamba for food and meet ups?
I never have been lucky for a tour.
I expect that tours size might be reduced to 5-6 -
Why is Billie Ellish by the horror make show?
-
I mean they didn't take away annual passes, Right now the dry parks haven't hit capacity since reopen.
I think they might sell less fear passes?
-
It totally possibly for fall festival too happen. This would be interesting to have some real contest for halloween money.
Does anyone think that we will get HHN Face masks?

I bring to you all some bombshells from Inside Universal:
-Beetlejuice is NOT at the front, nor is it even in a soundstage.
-We are getting an Eilish house, but it isn't in MIB.
-TCM seems to be coming as a "best of" for all the films.
-No Terra Queen house, but she will be the main part of one (presumably the host of the anniversary house).
Eilish got that stranger thing money.
Who thinks that streets are going to be similar to icon 25 or face off 24 or Psychoscare 25? social distancing stage shows-

So Greg Nicotero said he thinks Orlando is doing creepshow this year... do we think this is the secret IP?
If thats the secret ip, its far from a secret.
Mostly likely, If something is well received in west coast, Orlando gets it 2 years after. Except jacboweez -
Saying that all hotels doesnt count to at least 45 % of park cap is wild. There has to be at 120k rooms on site.

You do need to keep in mind the size difference between the two resorts. Universal had 8 resorts (which besides Cabana and Endless Summer complex all mostly all smaller than Disney's) that guests could be booked in before this started. Disney had 30. Multiple Disney resorts were sold out due to spring break. None of Universals resorts were fully booked. While Universal still gets many out of state visitors, the majority of them "add on" Universal to a Disney trip still. While still an unprecedented challenge, Universal had a much easier time navigating the logistics of reopening because of the smaller property and significantly less guests in "limbo" about when their previously booked vacation could take place.
If Universal sold every single room on property, they wouldn't get to 50% of their parks capacity with onsite guests. Disney on the other hand will far exceed the much lower capacity numbers if they allow every room to be booked. This is why Universal is still selling tickets and rooms and Disney is not. Disney simply doesn't have enough places to put people if they sell every room and still have non-onsite guests visiting as well while park capacity is at the rumored 40% level.
While both resorts are complex beasts that take a lot of people and planning to operate each day, Disney is on a MUCH larger scale than Universal and takes a lot more effort and planning to recover from something like this.
One final thing to think about. Back in 2018, Universal had a reported attendance of 10.71 million people (average of 29,342 people per day). The same year, Disney had 58 million with an average of 158,904 per day, over 5 times the number of guests in a single day.
I think those numbers are untrue.
The hotel guest at universal makes up about 35%-45% of their guest volume. They have been increasing their volume of and Quality of the hotels.
there is going to be a weird influx of people still looking for best deals which right now.
But 40% is like 95k ? per park-

This Fall festival thing is to attract more people, Why limit the halloween to one park? This could be kicking the door open to Not so scary halloween money, or Spooktacter money.
I doubt that it would be canceled but maybe We might get midnight closes again? double the time to clean the park, since the park opens at 7am for Early park admission.
I mean we just adapting to Japan model for hhn?7 hours ago, zombieman said:Well this sucks.
I just got an Orlando survey.
UO: Which type of OUAP do you have? Me: Seasonal
UO: In what year were you born? Me: 1967
UO: Thanks for your time, Boomer!
I wonder which answer disqualified me...
<full disclosure: they didn't actually say "Boomer">
I did the same survey, they basically asked if I were likely to return to park for cheap tickets.
I am like yes.

I think Citywalk reopening is true test of if we will get hhn.
I am praying that we get hhn this year, I need it badly.
Strong rumor that we might get covid19 all still walkers streets would interesting with maybe few minions with chainsaws ? with stages for icon or photo zone. I already planned on this year being 80% photos streets like 25 was we had tight nest of scares in there, but if they redesigned it for 6 ft apart? It would be very interesting.
Comcast is killing the stay at movies right now, I wouldn't doubt that we could get a stay at home film house? Unless they releasing Candy man or Halloween Kills Or Forever Purge in October -
Who thinks? that if for the crazy reason of hhn might not happen? then why waste construction costs? they could easily leave it up and maybe add Jurassic Discovery center and extend que for Spiderman?

I went thru both houses. Surprise, I am a team member.
I went into Tooth fairy 1st cause the whole no physical line is a lie.
I waited like 25 mins in line that could wrapped around to ss 25.
This is odd way of having hhn.
The ops give you glow sticks and hand sanitize before you go into the house. The glow stick wasn't for a secret rave. It's for the scare actors to target you better.
They try to pulse the line, but actually have to tell you to stay in certain rooms. As holding, for safety.
I like this but I also hate it because the scares are space out but sometimes the actors are taking a breathe.
Tooth fairy is glory and cool. the masks are creepy.
Bride is a mess. but a fun house. both are long and detail houses, but with the lack of actors or maybe the safe barriers are lit up like a spot light. I would suggest to re light the mazes.
I very interested in that new haunt down the street done by former creative directors Patrick and Kim. I am very interested in see that nice contest for halloween.
So just imagine if they put a new parade building house into the mix, that would be long.
