  1. I really hope they go all out and have completely uncensored sound bytes from the film.

    I'm going first weekend. God knows everyone is gonna be offended to high heaven with this maze and it'll be toned down to nothing by After Party.

  2. Could the globe theater be a possible venue?

    The answer has always been "no" from Murdy due to corporate event space.

    I have a solution though....

    Use Parisian AND Universal Plaza. Set up the queue for Parisian in Silly Fun Land. Set up the Plaza's queue in Shrek and have it cross over with a line moderator (they've done things similar before).

     

    AND WHOA. Just noticed! 6000 posts!!!!!

  3. LMAO as Zombieman said, I can only imagine there'd be less than 1/4 of that room being filled each showing. Can't that auditorium fit around 6k people in it? lol

    I wish I had video showing how empty it was. You could literally jump and skip in the Springfield-Pink's area where there's usually heavy traffic.

    The Terror Tram line was only 2 zig zags.

    I could slowly go through each maze with such a great pace and give myself space between myself and the next people. I got SUCH great scares in TWD, Insidious, AVP and TT. My second run through of Crimson was great. TITE I got all the scares too, but... ya know, unfortunately that maze is just NOT scary at all, so none of them really landed. The only maze I didn't get targeted was Halloween on the two trips I had. Both times I had a couple in front of me and so of course they got the scares instead (and the girl I was with wanted to run through the mazes, so she was often 10 steps ahead of me getting her own scares lol)

  4. Academy of Villains was in front of the Minions store on the lower lot. There was a small stage for a DJ and two go-gos, but the performance was actually on the ground. So unless you were in the "front row" of the circle, you couldn't see jack. They were dressed as french looking mimes and there were so many of them, they'd just be randomly roaming the park. Once I realized it wasn't a show-show, I just kept moving.

  5. Yup, only 6k people from what I heard. It was SOOOOO DEAD!!!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!!

    Absolutely insane to be walking through usually traffic jam areas and be the ONLY two people on the street.

    Trams heading to the backlot had entire sections EMPTY.

    They CANCELLED 2 or 3 Jabawockeee shows because the seats weren't being filled enough! (I was counting on seeing the 12:30 showing, but it got canned)

    I have literally never seen HHN less crowded and I've gone on Wednesdays/Thursdays/Sundays.

    Unlimited FOL was sadly absolutely pointless for whoever bought it. I walked onto Crimson Peak and we had the whole maze to ourselves on my second go around of it. Halloween had a 5 minute wait, even after Terror Tram closed. As someone said before, longest line was TWD, and from what I saw, at 35 minutes.

    Major gripe was the Academy of Villains show was shoved in front of the Minion store on the lower lot. YET WE CAN'T HAVE A SCAREZONE THERE?! What's really cool is they'd sporadically take over for the scare patrol and show up in lines on the lower lot.

    Universal needs to do this every year. It is PERFECT for the fans and for the leftover GP.

    Closing at 1 AM was not an issue whatsoever. With early entry, I could've been done with everything by 7:45-8 if I wanted to rush it and that's including the rides.

  6. I really don't understand...

    Is Universal really just THAT afraid that they'll cause irreparable harm to their event that'll cause it to not come back again?

    I mean, it's been 10 years since the reboot. There's a huge and loyal fan base. There's a GP that clamors for it. Even if with horrible press, I don't think that'll KILL it or get it anywhere near close to dead.

    BRING BACK THE SLIDERS FFS!
