Mine was HHN 18 when I was 14 I believe. I remember loving every moment, and hyperventilating in the houses. Me and mom always regretted that we didn't get to hit everything. Next year, we both had FFP's.

When I moved to Satellite Beach I kept hearing murmurs of it, heard a radio ad, and then went to the library to look it up. I fell in love.

Just a couple of threads below this.

the 2 park for 22 is an obvious thought to have and definitely can be pulled off. if it were to go 2 park, i see no reason why they would open all of the studios. i think it should be at the farthest the sprung tents, exit at MIB like normal and have that ride open. hell, they could still do B&T in FFL if that was the case or another show(which is not a bad thing). san fran and amity should be left out if its a 2 park ordeal. on the islands side, theres no reason to close any part of it since the SZ's would probably be Marvel, Toon, JP and possibly LC. if Potter isn't allowed, then just use the bridge to cut across or leave it open if not. that's a LOT of walking.this is an excellent point. im sure plenty do mind the walking during the day and would still mind it at night, but they'll still do it. and i don't think they'd jack up the prices just for HP. i predict the ticket will go to 83.99 next year to keep on track with the price raises. the upgrade to do HP isnt a bad idea either.i never heard of a noise complaint about the coasters. they're always open past 10 on the days uni closes later than 10 unless they're doing something like fireworks which causes a safety hazard for guests. from 02-05 hulk and dragons were open all night i believe. it'd be nice to experience a 2 park event as i missed that event back in 04(by 1 year
), but i dont think they'd do it unless they had absolutely no way of doing it just in the studios, and the only thing that could do that (in my opinion) is if they completely wall of Amity from Tuesday all through October. also, keep in mind that there's more restrictions as to what they can do house wise in IOA, specifically the locations in JP.But going all the way back to the tents and MIB, isn't that basically using all of the Studios since you're pushing all the way to the back like that? Unless you didn't use the top half of it, of course. And I think more hardcore fans complain about the walking and the dead space than general visitors to the event, and even then it's because many of us hit the event so many times. I don't think there'll be too much ruckus about it. Maybe this coaster nonsense is just my insanity showing. I looked all over the forums and couldn't find a mention of it. Maybe I read about it on the Vault or something. Or I'm just crazy. In that case, let the show go on and add the coasters! And I feel like I kind of agree with you about when they'd do the two park switch-a-roo. If they wall off Amity (which is starting to look like what they're going to do, looking at danny_p's post) and lose FFL (Which I'm starting to doubt... unfortunately), I could see them moving. If they kept it there with the walling, I'd be kind of annoyed. Congestion much?
Well if this new park map is any indication of what will be seeing I'd expect to see walls running that entire span from diaster all the way through to the fear factor stage then allowing that area to be open to people traffic without any real hicups usually that path was open as it all and all you lose in the jaws house and the ride itself.I suppose I see your point, although I still think it'll be congested with the walling off.

^ That last one reminds me of my golden retriever, who seems to think he's a lap dog!

Rip Ride Rock it was open for HHN 21, I rode that thing like 20 times
Oh, well great! Then I anticipate that being open again (as long as no major problems came up). Maybe the noise ordinance agreement was only for the Hulk since it's made to "roar". Or maybe no one pays attention to it anymore! Ah well. We'll see.
-
I still see it happening at IOA and USF, I just don't see it happening with it strictly the right side of Islands and the left side of the Studios. I think they'd have to live with the deadzones, and utilize more of each park than that. Maybe not to their fullness, but at least more than that. If they did that, there's the possibility of keeping the Mummy, Simpsons, MIB, Cat and the Hat, Spiderman, and Jurassic Park open at least. This is excluding Forbidden Journey because we don't know Rowling's stance on that, and also Hulk, Rockit, and Dragons Challenge because of the coaster situation. So I take it that agreement is still in place about the noise ordinance then? Anyways, if they spread it out you'd have better space (and with some dead space) to utilize for scares and more rides to keep open for the people who prefer to do that. I still don't think the average guest would care that much about walking back and forth between parks. They do it during the day without complaint (for the most part). They can do it at night.
Also, during the years HHN was also at IOA, did they ever keep the Toon Lagoon rides open? Just curious.
-
The only issue is, what rides would be open for HHN? If they do what they have done for 15, then that means only Mummy, the Cat and the Hat, and Despicable Me will be the rides for the event unless Rowling (SP?) will permit Forbidden Journey to be open during the event (Which I doubt). I assume they will probably open Marvel Island for the event so everyone can ride Hulk and Spider-man. If they do that, could we see the return of the Marvel zombies?
Is it just me, or has this thread turned into the official speculation thread?
You must pardon my dust if I'm wrong on any of this. Been a couple of years.
But would they leave Despicable Me open? On account of never leaving Jimmy Neutron (I think) open, I don't know if they'd keep it open unless it was doing really, really well during the day. And was Rockit open last year? If so, or even if not, that could remain open. So you'd have Mummy probably for sure and Rockit. But that's only two rides on USF's side if they kept it to that side of the park. I'd imagine if they restricted the ride areas that way at USF, they'd do it to IOA also. But if they only utilized the right side of the park and Rowling doesn't let them use it for fright, wouldn't that only leave LC for scares (depending on how far left you went) because they can't do Seuss either? I don't know if they'll keep it compact with utilizing the left half of USF and the right half of IOA with the new things gone on, just because scares would be limited at IOA. If they did that though and didn't open the rest of the park, they'd have Cat and the Hat, and MAYBE if allowed, Dragon's Challenge and Forbidden Journey. I think that we should just gear up with Tennis Shoes because keeping the event compact doesn't look like it'll work right now. At least in my eyes. (And the idea of restriction might not have even been mentioned here, but it was by someone on another site).Also, wasn't there some point brought up about not being able to run roller coasters past ten or something? I remember that being brought up a couple of years ago.

I can't wait until this place is hopping again! Especially since I actually (well, maybe) will get to attend this year!

I'm so blessed to have my friends and family to give me gifts, but I think the best one was that I was able to volunteer at an elderly home here and minister to the Japanese people. I remember this one old woman just crying and holding my hand because she was so happy we were there, and even though I couldn't understand her, I was very happy to be of comfort to her and to sing to her. What a great year.

I think that the event could stay at Universal if both the extended Jaws queue and the FFL stage were gone, but I don't think it would be as good. The house situation is easily fixable - they could fix up the Herc&Zena SS, or add another sprung tent. But I can't envision B&T being able to go anywhere else, while maintaining it's large cast, pyrotechnics, and where the noise won't interfere. That would be very tricky if there was a stage big enough. I do think the event is ready to kick it up a notch in both parks. It's a good opportunity to add another house or two, and I think there is better space in IOA for B&T. Yeah, there will be dead space, and yeah it'll suck. But I'd be willing to have some dead space if the event itself is very detailed with another house or two. As for the WWOHP being too much dead space, does anyone know if the bridge from JP to LC is still there? The one they used when they were building it? (You must forgive me, I haven't been to the parks in a couple of years) Just block off the area and re-use (and if it isn't there, re-erect the bridge) it. Then you wouldn't have to walk through that dead area unless management wanted to leave the rides open, in which case this is all a waste of typing. Would JK let them use the rides if it's not contributing to the scares? Anyways, I haven't experienced the two park deal - HHN wise, so I don't know from experience how much of a downer the dead space can be. I could be wrong and it would make me really annoyed! But I don't think I would mind it too much.

I've seen plenty of guys scream, and plenty of girls not scream. I think it's completely personal to the individual's experiences, mindset, etc. I don't think it's a gender issue, I think it's an experiential one. Some people have experienced things (whether or not they remember they did) which subconsciously causes the fear. Why they react the way they do is just their nervous system's way of handling it. Granted, some people scream just to scream, but for the legitimate "I cannot control myself" screamers, that's why. The screaming is a stress reliever for some people and fear is a type of stress on the body. I'm a screamer, and at the end of the night (for HHN) I can never explain why I freaked out so much and why I did scream. Depends on the person I guess.
-
Reflections of Fear for me out of the ones I've attended. It was the most immersive and the one that connected with me the most.
-
I'm kinda mad that I can't afford to come down and ride Jaws one last time before it's shut down. No, actually. I'm really angry about it. It was one of my favorite attractions.
-
A happy thought: I'll be more active here and it won't make me sad, because after I graduate in June, I'll be moving back to Florida. My first HHN in two years. I'm very excited!
A terrible thought: For you religious posters, I'd love if you could pray for my school. A senior here was murdered over the weekend, and all of us are struggling to deal with it. Most of the seniors including myself can't even bear to stay in class for the entire period most days. We just run out crying. It's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever had to witness and be a part of.
-
Yes, it said on the news both that Al-Qaeda is going to retaliate, and that there were plans discovered to attack us (I think it was by blowing up or derailing some of our trains) on the anniversary of 9-11.
Other random thought: Man, I need to stop eating so much, especially since my calories are starting to get to me.
-
-
Everyone (admittedly, including me) is happy that Osama Bin Laden is dead, but I have to wonder if it's really a good thing with a probable retaliation from Al-Qaida looming on the horizon. Maybe it's just the fact that my father is deploying soon, but I've got a bad feeling about this.
Also, thanks Dr. Jimmy (concerning the response to my earlier statement about school).
-
Since I've moved here, my social life has gone poof. I can't wait until I get back to Florida.
Also, apparently no one here can fathom why I'd take challenging classes as well as an eighth period during my senior year. Is it that odd to do?
I miss Universal.
-
Everyone keep all of the people over here in your prayers, as the damage is majorly catastrophic. It's terrible, and the death toll is rising.

I've gotten some amazing goodies for my birthday. Especially the Japanese things (like Lightsaber chopsticks and all of the cute Disney things you can't find in the states!). My favorite present however is the Canon T1i my parents bought me since my old DSLR pooped out on me.
) It's AMAZING. -
I'm totally geeking out because Mandy Moore and Zach Levi are performing "I See the Light" from Tangled at the Academy Awards!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
And I've also got a lot more respect for Toy Story 3. I was kind of mad at the film for a while because Tangled wasn't nominated for an Oscar and they were, even though I adored Toy Story 3. But I just read a statement that made me respect them a lot.
" 'Tangled' didn't get nominated and I was really rooting for them, they really deserved to be in there. And I'm disappointed for those guys because they made a really beautiful film that was definitely Oscar-worthy," Unkrich said. -
I'm going to see Montgomery Gentry for free tomorrow!!! Military benefit concerts are the best!!!

Thanks for the kind words earlier, Director of Horror. It helps to know that someone reads my nonsense.
My GPA is just below a 3.5. I'm aiming for a 3.8 to a 4.0 next semester.

I would love for it to be a scarezone, especially boxed in and dark if they didn't keep it as lit, but with the exits for the tent and parade building houses, MIB, Simpsons, and Bill and Ted in that area, it could get super congested and I'm not sure the almost clausterphobic scarezone would be worth it for the crowds unfortunately.
I really can't see Universal making two separately ticketed events if they were both HHN, but maybe if one was kid friendly and you kept HHN at the other it would happen. I've been hearing murmurs of the family event being at IOA for years now. But for this year, I'd love to see a dual park HHN and it would be an opportunity for marketing to do some predictable moves with it being 22 and all that I know most of us can imagine them wanting to take advantage of.
