    HHN 2016 Discussion

    That's what I meant!

     

    How is it not cheaper to just build some type of mechanism? With 8 hours a day, over $10 per hour, and 4 day weekends, and I'm guessing about 6ish weekends, that's like $2000+ per blackout position. How much does it cost for hydraulics and such? I know Knotts uses them all the time for a lot of, if not all of their mazes.

    K, so I've heard the Ouija board in Exorcist is a blackout performer like the 3rd time now and I figured that must be a mistake. Like there is literally a person controlling that thing? For what purpose? That couldn't have been automated? I'm finding it hard to believe management allows someone to be paid for just that... no offense to whoever Job that is! Haha

    Got to experience round two of HHN last night. In addition, I also got to use my behind the scenes tour I won at Midsummer Scream. I went through Texas with Chris Williams and he gave us a really good tour. What's cool is that my eleven year old sister got to go as her first time ever going to HHN. Considering we both started off with a BTS tour with Chris Williams and FoL privilege, I'd say she had an amazing first experience, wouldn't you? :)

     

    So I finally saw Jabawockeez and I liked it better than last year's show. It was nice that they incorporated a little narration and more humor in there. The laser effects were pretty cool. Still prefer Bill and Ted, but this show is adequately entertaining. 

     

    I also finally did TWD during HHN and that was great. I got one really good scare from one of the walkers at the very end as I didn't think that would be used as a scare spot. Not worth an one and a half hour wait, but it was cool to experience it with extra performers. 

     

    I got to do everything except TWD and TCM twice….well, we did the tour, so I guess that kinda counts as twice for TCM? We also got to do Krampus three times because they didn't scan our pass when we went through our second round with the pass. So we took advantage of that and went back for round three. 

     

    The highlight of the night for me was having some tater tot nachos. Hot dang those were good. Definitely the best HHN treat for me. They tasted amazing but the after effects aren't pleasant which is why I gotta wrap this post up pretty soon. 

     

    Oh, and I got to have the s'mores sandwich. It's good, but not quite as heavenly as it sounds. If I want to get a treat, I'll just get the Simpsons donut next time. 

    So yeah, had a lot of fun last night. **Hits post and runs to the bathroom**  

    If rumors are true and the Mummy is leaving after next Summer, I don't see the Exorcist coming back. They may retire that venue. 

    Mummy leaving... what would your guess be as to what's replacing it? Honestly you can just throw another ride into that building instead of tearing it down and completely changing the structure of the backlot. And even if Mummy's gone, they can rebuild Exorcist somewhere else, which would be beneficial to make some changes.

    So I've been a lurker for years but never posted. I know there's been talk about The Conjuring coming to HHN for years to both Hollywood and Orlando but it never has.  It always comes down to rights or what have you.  Well I just moved to Australia and was looking for Halloween events here.  Low and behold Warner Brothers Movie World has a Conjuring 2 maze this year.  Not sure how they are able to get the rights but Universal can't but this may be the reason we haven't seen it at either HHN event in the US.  Hopefully next year is the year it finally comes

    Because WB owns The Conjuring franchise.

    Am I the only one who thinks Stranger Things could be a possible maze for 2017?

    If not, I guarantee Knotts will do a maze "heavily inspired" by it.

    So I just finished Hotel and I am now SO DISAPPOINTED in the AHS maze. That season had enough alone to be a mega maze, but what is in the maze isn't even some of the coolest stuff/environments/kills/characters. I was already disappointed by Murder House's design not feeling as grand as it could, but now Hotel is truly missing the grandeur it should have. Freak Show is the only decent replication of a season. So unfortunate they dropped the ball on this one after all these years.

    eXpressives' First HHN Review!!! MAJOR SPOILERS!

    Weird, mine started on the 1st roof  in a straight line, 2nd roof was full of zig zags, and it was maybe 50 mins. However, there was only 1 or 2 zig zags in the actual JP queue area. They must've been pulsing the maze weirdly. The Halloween and Exorcist lines are the ones I hear the most about. Halloween being longer than it says and Exorcist being shorter than it says.
