BruinsFan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 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.

Lambier Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I think a terror tram would be incredible!!!!! I've never been to the event out in Hollywood, but come on.....even the name....terror tram.....it sounds thrilling!! Whenever I read about the year they had The Director "loose" in the terror tram, I get so jealous >.< hah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jimmy Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I have begun to hear a few rumors which I'd now like to share. First I have begun to hear from my sources that A&D may have received corporate approval for whatever their current plans are for HHN XXI. That means they are now further developing their plans into specific houses and scarezones. Of course there is still the possibility that these plans could be radically changed over the next couple of months. 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. All of this comes from sources that have sometimes been accurate, but also sometimes inaccurate. Therefore please do not take any of this as anything other than rumors for now.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambier Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) As much as I would love to see MS perform live, I would have to agree. An arrival show, or something of that nature, would be amazing. I think it's a really good way to introduce the icon to the public and of course, it's a field trip for us hardcore HHN groupies :] lol Edited March 10, 2011 by Lambier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 would you think they will do a 3d house and extreme house i think the alone house was a good idea, i didnt go to hos but i heard it was good, do you think hhn will do some thing like this I Would love to see a séance type of show, has that every happened before at hhn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambier Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 i thinj they'll put an extreme house. If not this year, than the next. It's the hot thing right now; HHN won't allow itself to be out done by HOS. I guarentee you we will be seeing one soon enough :] I really hope its this year...while I did go to HOS last year I didnt get the chance to go into Alone :/ And a seance show? Like,we watch someone summon something? Well.....there was the 08 press only show they had where Bloody Mary was "summoned" to talk to the crowd. But I dont think that really counts lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seance thing. I don't remember one. There was Madame Kuszel at Fright Nights... but To be honest I didn't care about the shows back then ( I was 14 ) and many of them were nothing more than a roving street preformers. In fact I don't think I watched a show except for B&T until.. '97? Edited March 10, 2011 by JWFearman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) I hate the 3D houses! I end up just taking the paper glasses off anyway. It's not like there is really that much to see in 3D. As for an Alone type house, as much as it pains me to say this, I don't see Universal doing it. I don't know how they would effectively pull it off with the amount of guests they have in the park. I remember being at HOS last year and people complaining about not being able to go through that house. Universal has a greater number of guests, a lot of which are drunk morons! I think it would be too much trouble for Universal to put themselves through. I doubt it would bring attendance up that much and with the limited amount of guests that can actually go through the house in a night, I don't think they would end up making enough money from it to deal with the inevitable issues that will come of it. Just my opinion, however. I really hope I am wrong. Edited March 11, 2011 by Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goo Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The problem with splitting the event is the obvious really spread out attractions. It's A LOT of walking. If they were to split the park up like that, I think they should stay away from using the Earthquake queue because of how far away it spits you out. Maybe two or three houses in the sound stages or in Nazerman's, a scare zone in that area, and a scare zone in between the parks. They could also put the MS show in a soundstage if they used both parks. Anything beyond Nazerman's would be way to much of a walk. But I think this would help disperse crowds a bit and help with queue times. Maybe they could get HRRR open for the night as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, if they are looking at bringing in another show, I'd much rather see an "arrival" type show that is specifically HHN themed. I dont think the acoustics are a problem in the AA stage because they typically put concerts in there during Rock the Universe. Also, I think some of the que lines could easily be re-routed, perhaps placed inside of a soundstage, much like a few years ago. Of course, we could always get really really lucky and see Universal repair the SS next to Mel's. You never know right?

Dont forget, if both parks are used, the the number of guest can actually be increased. I do know that park capacity is determined based on the capacity ratings for each park. Back stage areas do not count in the capacity issues. Thus, if both parks were used, Uni would be able to increase the amount of allowed guest by a substantial number. I am all for expanding the event, but I think we all have to remember that their goal is to pack the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jimmy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Well, whatever HHN XXI will be like, I hope that there won't be any rabid HOS fans accusing HHN of "ripping off" or "copying" HOS as apparently HOS will have the very "original" idea of zombies this year.

Lambier Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yes I saw the update on that -__- No offense to HOS here, it's a fun event, but...come on. COME. ON. Zombies? Really? I think if HHN had a zombie icon, I would just cry D: However, seeing as some sort of zombie is usually incorperated into the event every year, there's no doubt we'll be hearing some whining >.> BTW.......does anybody else wish we got updates that early??? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goo Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Another thing that I think will change this year is the layout in the tent where Havoc and the Spawning were.

I mean, I knew they were in the same tent but I hdn't noticed too much D: In my defense though.....I only went through each of them once xD And now that I think about it, I was a little distracted in Spawning.
