  1. Ric Flair is in Atlanta and will attend the HOF ceremony tonight. Also, Jim Ross has confirmed that he will call "some" matches at WM.

    EDIT: Look for Kofi Kingston to be inserted into one of the already scheduled matches tomorrow.

  2. Figured this was the best place to post this....

    Does anyone know about this DVD called "The Art of the Scare"????

    Isi it worth buying? I see it's 14.99 on their site and on eBay. Just curious if anyone has any knowledge about it before I purchase. Thanks :)

    You can watch it on Youtube. Just do a search for "Universal Studios Horror Nights - The Art of Scare".

  3. Apparently they had some foam machines going to at one point. But I don't know of anyone who got the full effect. :P

    I really loved that concept but it fell short. The costumes were top-notch. I don't know why the fog just wasn't there.

    I experienced the foam in Containment. However, the fog was *never* thick enough throughout the entire run.

  4. Secondly I have begun to hear a rumor about the possibility of the return of musical performances at the event. A certain musical group that has long been associated with HHN may be performing live this year. For this to occur there would be many logistical problems that would have to be worked out. For example, where in the park would such concerts take place? If they were to be held on the main stage then the queue areas for the Soundstage houses would have to be rerouted from where they have been in the past few years. They could perform on the Beetlejuice stage but then Brian Brushwood (if he comes back this year) would have to be moved back onto the Animal Actors stage. Another possibility would be if B&T were moved into the T2 building as was rumored last year allowing the musical performance to take place in the Fear Factor Live (or whatever it's called nowadays) auditorium.

    I don't know what the acoustics would sound like for a musical performance at the AA stage, but that might be the most logical place to hold such an event(s). Like you said, placing a live band at the Hollywood Bowl stage could create traffic flow nightmares with the SS queues as well as all along the "Plaza of the Stars" road. If this rumor ends up being true, it will be interesting to see how Uni handles the potential problems associated with the setup.

    IMO, if they are looking at bringing in another show, I'd much rather see an "arrival" type show that is specifically HHN themed.

  5. What I would love to see Uni do is a variation on Hollywood's Terror Tram. They could load behind Lost Continent and drop between Jaws and Earthquake (essentially the route the Employee shuttle runs backstage). If they did that, with the SZ on the Backlot, it would allow guest to walk or wait and ride, and it would become one more crowd-soak.

    Interesting idea. I like it.

  6. That's pretty much how they did it in 2004, so there is precedent for it. The worse part was the trek from Lost Continent (around the back of Poiseidon) to the soundstage parking where Fright Yard was. It was a whole lot of nothing, except a lone barker on an old InGen vehicle insulting people.

    Oh, I was there in 2004 and the walking back and forth was very tiresome. At least Disorientorium made it a little easier in deciding not to make the ridiculous trek, especially if you'd already seen B&T.

    In the layout you described, I was commenting on adding TL and JP to that already horrible hike.

  7. Getting eight houses wouldn't be a problem, but I would love to see a layout similar to 2004 with New York and the main plaza being open on Studios side along with the full Islands. Use PoE, MSHI, Toon, JP, Backlot (think Fright Yard), New York, Sting Alley, Shrek Alley, Blvd of Stars and even the Breezeway. House locations would be Marvel warehouse, Discovery Center, Thunder Falls (if needed), Triceratops Encounter (if needed) 2-4 in soundstages, Earthquake (enter/exit near Beetlejuice/New York), Nazerman's (let's go old school), and even Herc/Xena if it's even usable. Get enough of both parks to make it fun, the only bad thing is that hike from Lost Continent to New York.

    Everyone would need to rent an ECV with this layout. :)
