    the website has gone themed dark instead of last year's blue and red, love it

    It’s a nice look! Very old school style!

    Surprised they didn't include ANY type of show in the announcement. They outline 9 houses and 5 zones and that's it. Last year they at least included the word "shows" in the announcement. I wonder if AoV won't be back (which would be a big disappointment!). 

     

    I also hate that they are following the same method as last year and releasing a single type of ticket to start and not allowing you to book Unmasking or RIP without booking a vacation package. You would think they would want to make as many sales as possible now, well before construction starts, so they can better gauge the budget for the houses. I am ready to buy my tickets now Universal...let me give you my money! Also, why the random Thursday at the end of Sept with no event night? Figured I would get to go for 11 nights this year but I guess i'm down to 10 now. 

    Shows may be something small like what they had way back when... Brian Brushwood? David S. Pumpkins? Academy Of Villains? Robosaurus?

    I think that may be a mistake. Whilst I enjoyed the scare zone last year, it’s not a very widely known IP in the general public, and hardly likely to make shockwaves.  I’d expect the first announcement to be one of the big IPs expected to be a big draw for the general public. Start the HHN buildup with a bang. 

    They can do like what they have always done in the past. Announce the TV shows first.

    Then announce the films, which would be the older ones. Then the newer ones after that. Like I have a feeling if Halloween comes to hhn, it may be announced after the trailer is released with Truth Or Dare.

    I did hear on the rumour mill a large proportion of the budget may be going on one house. Which also helps to explain why the rumoured list has a few houses or props previously seen at HHN being used. 

    Im fine with returning houses coming back(if that’s the possibility), but you’re speaking to a newbie.

    i wonder if this one house is an IP that’s been making them very costly.

    this is true, but I'd rather them add that location and stop using a different location (Shrek?) because I don't want them to spread the budget out too thin, the SZs were pretty lame last year even with only 9 houses.

    Some of the scarezones were pretty cool! But they should have entire scarezones around the park like the chainsaw drill team popping out of nowhere or something like that.

    Halloween isn’t that big a thing in the U.K. so it can be difficult to find haunts. The ones they have tend to be outdoors in the woods so very different to HHN. 

     

    There is one in London (special events at the London Bridge experience) which looks to be an extreme haunt where the actors can touch you and do chase you in small groups. I did read a story about one section one year where an actor performs a “shotgun” wedding with a guest. Never been to it as it sounds a bit mental, and my friends aren’t that into this kind of thing. 

     

    They also do scary Easter events apparently http://www.scaretouruk.com/review---leporiphobia-2016-at-london-bridge-experience.html

    Damn! That sounds crazy!

    Idk about the Re-using of things (lol) from the 09 house because I've read accounts that many of the props were damaged throughout its run, so much it really worsened the experience of the house. Also, the first SAW house was 09, too, and how much was reused from that house last year? I don't think much but I could be wrong.

     

    When I say Hellraiser 3- I mean Hellraiser 3, 4, 5, a ton of sequels after for each of the sequels I listed, Weinstein even has the Halloween remakes.

     

    Also in regards to Hellraiser, maybe in marketing they could call the maze Pinhead or The Cenobites or something that doesn't blatantly say HELL

    You talking about The Thing that was in 2007. I didn’t go through the ‘ 09 saw house, so the games of Jigsaw was new for me.

     

    Honestly, screw the Hellraisers after 3.the third one is awesome to use especially that nightclub scene!

    and that was an unofficial sequel house to the movie, which is cool but I'm excited at the prospect of being able to experience the original movie in house form!

    I have a feeling we may get stuff from that house with some new stuff. It”ll be new to us newbies(I was old enough allowed then to go, but other stuff happened). But it will be a great house

    uhhhh Scream, It Follows(god please don't bring that shitty movie), Hellraiser 3-, Children of the Corn 2-, and Halloween 6-. uhhh Scream is really all they got, yay?

    Scream is what I’m thinking about. Hellraiser would’ve worked, but marketing is the problem for Hellraiser. Halloween 6 and Children Of The Corn 2 lol those would be silly houses.

    Hey, I graduated in 1985.  

     

    I'm still missing why we'd be doing The Thing again.  Honest to god, wasn't that at HHN just a few years ago?

    HHN Orlando? We had it in 2011(I was a freshman in high school that fall), but they did It to promote the prequel/remake on both coasts. 

     

    Orlando hasn’t touched the original(‘82 version) since 2007 with Carnival Of Carnage.

     

    Universal Orlando has done it before with IPs. they’ve done Psycho probably about 4 times. They’ve done People Under The Stairs 3 times. They’ve done An American Werewolf In London twice. The Thing is a Universal property, just like the ones above. So they can bring it back without a hassle.

    I wonder if Zombie Chris is the same Zombie Chris from the Vault. If so, nice to see the Vault Chat nickname stuck. 

     

     

    There's an icon who has an 80's backstory. An icon who was obsessed with 80's horror, specifically the slashers. If he could be retconned back to his roots, he would be the perfect icon for the event. 

    You talking about Eddie?

     With such an IP heavy year, do you think they might bring The Usher back as the Icon? He is the only Icon (so far) that makes since to have with IP's. Really missed having an Icon last year to tie everything together marketing wise. 

    The Usher would work.

     

    but honestly in my opinion, The Director would be a little more badass this year as he uses the marketing with the IPs are like the movies he’s making and they’re like his little minions in the marketing.

     

    And then do something similar to his All Nite Die In but nothing too similar, do something with the recent horror films like Annabelle and The  Conjuring in there, and put Chucky or something else in there. And then put the Director in a couple of spots of the house to spook the guests.

    I know, I think the rumor is after that we aren’t getting any more outside of anniversary years, I think @Legacy said it if I’m not mistaken

    Oh yeah. I’ve heard that from Zombie Chris on YouTube. So yeah an icon will not happen, unless Universal is like Hey we got an amazing idea!

    This year-round haunt idea is interesting, but Hollywood can do it because they have less of a family audience than Orlando does. 

     

    But as for T2’s closed block, they can do something for a haunt for space but universal is probably building something for 2020/2021 so it could be closed off. It took Mummy 2 years to come to Orlando after Kongfrontation went away in 2002. Although it took a year for Simpsons to open after Back To The Future closed.
