    Fear Factor has been under construction/transformation into a HHN unconfirmed show. Sprung tents still being constructed and altered per multiple sources 

    If this is the case, are they no longer hosting a "no mask zone" inside? Are we sure they aren't just removing the FFL set pieces instead?

    I wondered the same

    So those rumors about no HHN and instead doing a "Fall Festival" were definitely false now that casting has started. 

     

    I'm wondering when we will start to get announcements. It's strange not knowing a single element of the event in June. We are 3 months away now. Hopefully in a few more weeks we will get info.

     

     

    Is there any indication that we will get "fall festival" during the day?

    Just Finally hearing from sources in the park that HHN 30 will indeed not be happening this year. Apparently There’s an event expected to happen called “Universals Fall Festival”. Bringing characters and everyday faces from the parks such as costume characters to attraction workers in Halloween attire passing out candy with a “Halloween vibe to the park”. Will be taking place during the day/early evening From September 18- October 31st and be welcoming to guests of all ages. HHN Is set to return in 2021. Announcement supposed to come June 19, and the headline “Scare ya later!” Don’t know exactly how true this is, and again only hearing it from multiple people inside the parks. Hope it’s not true, but seems legit and like a planned out idea from universal. Still hoping for a HHN 30, but after hearing this multiple times the past couple days, doesn’t seem likely anymore. What do you guys think of this? Smart? Or completely whack? Guess time will tell in coming weeks. Fingers crossed.

    Pump the brakes y'all. Like @Legacy said, the event is still happening (as of now) and there is no June 19th plan to announce that it's not. Builds are happening and scarezones are also a go. This year has IMMENSE potential and it will feel like an indie-horror film vibe with originals and tremendous nods to the past. There won't be colossal looming IP's that they're clearly trying to capitalize on like TWD, Purge, etc. This year has a very "homemade" vibe to it(at least the houses).

    I've been around for awhile here and I've seen it this year. I might be wrong on the one IP thing after recent events but I still feel like it's for the long-term fans. And as of right now I don't see it changing. There's always a possibility it will but I don't see it. 

     

    The comment above mine is not something I've heard at all, and if anything I can see that possibly being a daytime activity to supplement HHN.

    It's a 5/5 split. 6/4 if you consider UCM Bride original

    Just had a thought. Would this not be the perfect year to open up HHN at IOA and USO? Bring in the same capacity, but double the space and maybe use IOA as the "holding zone" for guests that have a virtual queue reservation for the houses at Universal? You can add food, a show and some scarezones to IOA, but that way the capacity could be cut in half while still entertaining and feeding the guests.

     

    Yes, operational costs would go up, but I think guest satisfaction would go through the roof knowing that people could spend less time in line and more time walking around a general haunt vibe that has been expanded.

     

    Just my 2 cents.

    Do we know for sure they aren't working on houses? I work in welding in Orlando and we are working for sure right now. The rumors in my circle are that Epcot will NOT be opening this year but the other parks will open as soon as possible. 

    Construction has continued, yes. Lots of third party vendors are on it and moving forward.

    In my opinion, if ever there was a year where things are up in the air, it's this one.  Even with IP contracts in place, I can imagine ANYTHING can change at this point.  Look at how movie studios are now pushing out their release plans.  Those delays will ripple.   For example, who knows if Candyman will be pushed out or if it will even release this year.

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if we hear originals announced first or if all announcements will be late.  So this year may be like the good old days - when no one knew what was coming until it was announced.  I wouldn't even be surprised if Hollywood backed off the "apocalyptic virus zombie house" (a.k.a. TWD) if the US has a much higher than expected death rate.  Bill & Ted may get a go simply because it's a show intended to make you laugh.  Might even be a very light year for gore, as they did in 2001.

     

    And number of houses?  I seriously doubt 11.  Heck, 10 might not even happen.  Think about this: some major airlines have already said they are not resuming international service with Asia until OCTOBER.   If similar happened with Europe, that's a non-insignificant amount of the HHN GP.  The crystal ball is very cloudy as to what domestic travel will be like a short 6 months from now.  Remember, viruses tend to flare up again later in the year...  You had better believe theme park execs are video conferencing right now as to how or if they might be able to enforce a 6 foot separation rule in queues.  I'd give the event about a 90% chance of happening at this point.

     

    Expect anything.

     

    Believe me, it's not fun being the pessimist in a room full of optimists.   But that's what a pessimist would say...

    This is one of a couple times per year where Universal profits, as opposed to reinvesting into it's parks, etc. They will do everything in their power to get the event up and running, even if it has a smaller capacity.

     

    We also need these idiots to stop going out to unnecessary places. I heard today Wonderworks is still open. Are you f&$#ing kidding me?! The place where everyone is SUPPOSED to touch everything?! That place is a petri dish for viruses.

     

    Also, this is the gross statement from the Fun Spot CEO, clearly taking advantage of the other park closures:

     

    We value each guest who visits our parks and hope these measures give you confidence that we are taking the necessary precautions in this evolving situation.  We remain committed to providing you and your family with a safe-clean-fun environment.  We look forward to helping you, your family and friends celebrate each other while creating memories for a life time.

     

    At this time, Fun Spot America is fully operational. If you’re interested in purchasing a Single Day Fun Pass, Single Day Mega Fun Pass or 2020 3-Park Season Pass, you can save now by purchasing tickets online.

    Scarecrow is the most obvious house to get a sequel this year, but I'm not quite sure how to continue the story in a satisfying way.

    The rumblings are still in favor of Scarecrow appearing at the event, though in what capacity is still TBD

    Children of the Coronavirus house?

     

    sorry not sorry

    I think it's safe to say that any plans to have a zombie/virus related house/scarezone, are out the window. Here's an interesting exercise to help pass the time: Anyone want to compile a list of zombie/virus related scenes for a theoretical anniversary house or full houses(both original and IP, or speculated) that they will NOT be doing? I think it's safe to say we can rule these out. Also.....

     

    NO WALKING DEAD!

    I'm surprised this, from The Ifrit, has not been addressed on here:

     

    Seeped in blood, the roots have grown
    Vines of iron branch like a throne
    A flame is stoked, the fires lit 
    A blade is forged in the pit

     

    Guards await, calm and steady 
    Berries ripe, wine is ready
    Hold your hope within reason
    And prepare for the season

     

    Is this too obviously Terra Queen?

    It says brb while I summon a demon. I saw it and replied to it. I don’t know why you can’t read it while it is selected, but my phone notification and twitter app notifications let me read it. 
     

    Interesting, it can be read when it’s in my feed, too. 
     


     

     

    Brb makes me think there might be an announcement soon?

    Get off my lawn

    How about this? Give the children and the moneygrubbers what they want. Give her a stupid lagoon show and maybe a zone or a house, but then make EVERY OTHER house and sz original, icon or mashup of the two or sequel to an original(minus IT and Conjuring).

     

    Then the kids can all go watch this Billie Eilish BS and leave the rest of the event to the fans of the actual event.

     

    Edit: This is not an attack on her personally, as I know she's a fan of the event and maybe a lovely person, but her music is just as unoriginal as the next pop princess, imo(get off my lawn).

    Been a long time “lurker” on these forums.  This place is one of best sources for info for HHN.

          This is the first year that I can remember that I can’t even have an educated guess as to what houses are going to be here this year.
          Maybe 30 year anniversary house... And that’s about it... Maybe Hellraiser? I can’t even say that those are educated guesses.

          I know what I would like to see, but I don’t believe in getting my hopes up. (*Fingers crossed* Horror made here doesn’t return)

         I am also afraid that people “in the know” will be tight lipped after what happened last year (losing GoT... which I was super fine with)     So I have a strong feeling information won’t be as easily available as previous years.
         What do you all think? Am I being to negative or realistic.

     

     

    Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but by GoT, do you mean Game of Thrones? And if so, can you please explain how far along it was?

    How BAD of a lineup would it take for you to skip HHN 30?

    It's really dead around here...

     

    My boredom got me thinking: what would it take for you to SKIP HHN 30?  I mean, what lineup could they present that did everything so wrong that you would opt out?

     

    Here's my line-up of mashups that should never happen and things that are better left unseen:

     

    Houses:

    Caretaker Presents: Fear the Walking Dead     Experience "Generation Z" as it began.  But watch out for the icon that is always ready to make your end come sooner.

    WWE Presents: The Fiend's Awesome Funhouse     Take a journey as The Miz into the twisted mind of The Fiend.  You came to play, and HE is ready...

    Freddy vs Usher     No matter how bad the movie is, never EVER fall asleep in the theater!

    Purge the Walking Dead     In the Walking Dead universe, every day is Purge Day!  Come celebrate these two epic universes in our universe - Universal's HHN!

    Take a Chance On Me      Gimme, gimme, gimme an S.O.S!  Your favorite Slashing Queen is back! Sing along as Chance slaughters to your favorite Abba hits!

    Candyman vs Bloody Mary     This house of mirrors is twice the fun....for them.

    Universal Monsters Invisible Man    You'll never see him coming!

    Ash vs Mia vs Evil Dead    A groovy "He-dead"/"She-dead" battle for the ages!  If the Deadites have any say, we're gonna need a bigger Boom Stick.

    Hellection '20: Choose Your Fate    Vote with your feet!  A choose your path house that marries politics with horror!  Don't get caught with your chad dangling!

    XXX: Do-Over (anniversary house)   We've given these "not so good" icon houses from the past a makeover.  Will they earn a "slash right" or get another "slash left"?

    The Director Presents: Freddy vs Jason vs Leatherface vs Jigsaw vs Alien vs Predator vs Bagul vs Chucky vs Mary Shaw vs Killer Klowns vs La Llrona    Mic. Drop.

     

    Scarezones:

    This is Your Waterloo   You managed to escape Chance, but these Abba hits will be forever seared in your head.  The winner takes it all...and it won't be you.

    What Brings you to HHN?   The vacation planners have escaped their kiosks and are roaming the park with free meal tickets.  They only want five minutes...of your life.  

    Nightmaze II   Because once wasn't enough

    Z Nation   From the producers of Sharknado, direct to the streets of New York.

    A Quiet Place   Don't make a sound! The first-ever silent scarezone!  (Amp Up The Fear!  $5 upcharge for the blindfolded Bird Box Experience!)

    Don't Go! (park-wide)   No restroom is safe after the toxic spill last month, but our demented gas-masked crew is on it!  Hold it (if you can) because it's about to hit the fan.

     

    Shows:

    Jack Presents: Jabbawockeez   (replacing AoV).  Jack may not say much from behind the white Jabbawockeez mask, but his fiery orange hair will speak for itself!The Fastest and the Furriest    (lagoon show).  Join in the celebration as we scare up the most intense moments from the Universal blockbusters Hobbs & Shaw and Cats!

    Kill Bill and Ted   They said it would never happen!  Killer LIVE recreations of gory fight scenes from Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2, hosted by everyone's favorite stuffed bear, Ted!


     

    Don't threaten me with a good time. I would pay top dollar to attend all of this. In fact, I wouldn't even buy a Frequent Fear pass; I would demand that they take my money each individual night to see this cluster.
