    HHN Hollywood 2010 Speculation

    Well the sooner I know the PR, the sooner I can convince other people to go.

    Some people only want to go depending on the content, which is understandable. They're not fanatics like us who will go even if it were Teletubby mazes.

    People need a long time to prep for the event. To save money for tickets, their dates, gas, parking, food, etc.. College students are the main crowd and we know they aren't exactly stacked with dollar bills. They also need to get around midterms, birthdays, Halloween parties and work or any other thing they may see as a priority so a good day can be set for a big group of people can all go. Setting up a day where 10 people, whom are interested in the content, can go to the event is quite hard when everyone is busy. That's why I think the PR is important to me because that little extra time may mean good times with more friends or certain friends.

    I thought this board needed to lighten up just a bit. We're all so wound up over this PR being released! We need to remember to just relax and live life till it comes out. HHN feels like a big part of my life too! I know how it feels! I'm glad that made you all laugh. I wasn't sure if it was going to come off convincing but I threw that Zoolander one in there just for good measure, because if I just kept going with it then that would just be plain mean.

    And hey, Evil Dead is a possibility!

    PRESS RELEASE IS HERE!!!

    The 2010 “Halloween Horror Nights” 17 nights of terror will begin on Friday, September 24 and continue on weekend and other selected nights through Sunday, October 31. New content for the event’s expanded number of attractions, including five mazes, six “scare zones” and a new “Terror Tram” experience.

    Universal Studios Hollywood’s favorite thrill-ride attractions will also remain open for “Halloween Horror Nights” nocturnal affair, many with menacing twists. Favorites include “The Simpsons Ride®,” “Revenge of the MummySM – The Ride” and “Jurassic Park® In the Dark.” This year’s event will also include a tram ride through the world’s largest and most intense 3D experience, King Kong 360 3D, created by Peter Jackson.

    "The Evil Dead: Dead By Dawn" based off the Sam Raimi - Bruce Campbell collaboration that gave audiences "the most grueling experience in terror" is now going to be the "most grueling experience at Halloween Horror Nights." The character Ash will act as this year's "icon" and will also play a heavy part in the Terror Tram (more on that later.) The house's location is located behind the Revenge of the Mummy attraction on the lower lot.

    "Last House on the Left: Grim Company" is the twisted journey through the horrors that can be found when Krug and Co. take over. Can you survive the horror? This time, you won't be able to repeat to yourself, "it's only a movie" because this time - it's real! Located behind the Shrek 4D attraction (which is not open during HHN).

    "Wolfman and a House of Horrors" invites you to see the Wolfman's new lair, inspired by the 2010 Universal Pictures film The Wolfman and the original 1933 classic. Other horrors await in this house such as Child's Play killer, Chucky, Frankenstein's Monster and Bates Motel's lone resident, Norman Bates! Located within Universal's House of Horrors, a year - round attraction dressed up for the Halloween event.

    "Dr. Jekyll's Creation: Mr. Hyde" is a Horror Nights original creation inspired by the literary classic "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Encounter the viscous Mr. Hyde through the streets of London and Dr. Jekyll's other creations that roam the night. Located in a new location backstage of London Street.

    "Zoolander: Mushu's Revenge" is the cult comedy's rendition of horror where you encounter numerous male models set to kill. Be apart of the modeling scene and get on that run way because it's time - to run away. Located in the old Wild, Wild, Wild West Stunt Show arena.

    Now that you were partly excited, hopefully that holds you over until the REAL PR comes along.

    I honestly pray that if Wolfman is done, that'll be housed in the HOH.

    I mean, think about it, if Wolfman has it's own maze, it makes the 5th maze idea lame.

    That would be HOH and Wolfman we already pretty much know what to expect with only three pretty much original mazes to look forward to like we do every year.

    Cram those two together and we're making way for 4 new mazes of different properties that haven't been done before, hopefully at any event.

    For crying out loud, there's already a good forest scene in HOH that Wolfman resides today so just stretch that element a bit longer throughout the maze and I'll be satisfied as a clam. Heck, it might even be so close to the original HOH that it'll be the "free pass" of the night where now I only have to worry about the 4 new mazes, TT and shows, which could mean cutting out up to an hour of my time at the event which already feels limited. Only us regulars will know that while the newbies will be crowding up that line since it's the first maze they see while all the other ones are no wait! :)

    I haven't posted in awhile but I just read half of the thread since I've last been here.

    I think it's funny how you guys keep going in circles over the same thing, especially when it's things that are obviously not going to happen or have been confirmed otherwise.

    I don't know where to start --

    When Murdy says King Kong is a separate experience, it makes me think of two very possible things.

    1) The Terror Tram will start off at King Kong and then make it's way to the trail, where on the way it'll then start the Halloween atmosphere as oppose to before it to keep up with the theme since we all know Kong is not Halloween-esque. Perhaps they'll work with a Studio Tour at Night Gone Wrong theme, where we'll get a normal tour and then for some reason all hell breaks loose (the guide hears rumors that a serial killer is on the loose on the backlot after exiting Kong).

    2) There may just be two different queues. One that'll just go to Kong and one that'll just do the Terror Tram. It doesn't sound like the best idea to me but it's their newest and biggest attraction and people are probably going to be demanding it while they're there. The Kong line would be very small (maybe just the Spanish Tour queue?) and would only run a couple more than dozen trams per night as most people will be focused on Horror Nights. It wouldn't be too cost worthy to do this and would be out of the way of the other trams going towards the Terror Tram route. This could be the literal meaning of SEPARATE experiences.

    The very fact that the 5th maze area is their BIGGEST, I think that takes Gibson Lawn out of the equation. Sure, that area could fit a maze in that area but I don't think in anyway it's the absolute BIGGEST. This leads me to believe they're using a backstage area of some sort since it's not an "obvious choice." And by obvious, he could be meaning that I would not first pick that they would use the Terminator theater for a maze. It's really up in the air.

    And I love how we're still hanging on the most vague hints such as the maze is "very bloody" and contains "teenagers that are killed." It's a JOKE, that's EVERY horror movie. I don't know why that's so hard to understand. In no way was he actually hinting at anything because it goes in every direction possible.

    And why are people still thinking mazes will be on the backlot? That rumor was dispelled centuries ago.

    As for the Kong building being used for HHN by projecting horror images on it in 3D or anything of the like, I think it's possible but I don't see what the point would be. It's completely out of the way of the entire event and would be such a long ride over there, longer than the drive over to the area is when it's from the station already. Plus people might be whining for Kong since it's brand new and not everyone is an AP holder who got to experience it 3 or 4 times before October (now late Sept) hits. But if they do use the horror element in here, hopefully they use the hydraulics to move the tram. But I just don't see this happening, it sounds like it would need too big of a budget for just a small fraction of the Terror Tram. That'd be editing or filming a new video, enhancing it so it would look good on such big screens, converting it to 3D, changing the hydraulic platforms for it, etc, etc. Just use Kong or don't use it at all or use a separate tram for it.

    Any how, I'm getting very excited for the PR that should be upcoming very soon.

    And on a side note guys, I don't want to sound like an english teacher or anything but about 75% of the posts here are almost unreadable. I'm not saying write a perfect essay or anything just make it coherent and don't be afraid to use symbols to separate your points. My mind was hurting more and more after every page trying to understand the posts. Eventually, I understood them but it'd just be so much better if they were more well written to begin with. Just re-read the post before hand to make sure it makes sense. Like I said, doesn't need to be perfect just readable.
