mr.luck Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 So I keep hearing F.A.K.E. is in and out of SS 33 from multiple people and a few have seen props clearly meant for HHN. SO I think, while we haven't seen the permit, it's still on. may i ask what f.a.k.e is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzrock13 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 ^^Are we sure they weren't moving them for the daily show stops they have? Or because they had the Minion float out for the grand opening this morning? Because they aren't going to leave them out in the elements for the next 4 months. Where do they usually put them for this three month span? Do they ship them completely off property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 May i ask what F.A.K.E is? They are one of the main set design companies Universal uses to build houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwrestledabearonce Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Something just occurred to me... maybe that photo Armando posted is from then digging an actual "Creature Pit" in the house???? They could do something like that if the house was in a building that is going to be torn down afterwards anyway!!!! Pretty legitimate point but do you think they would want to even remotely risk safety of park goers by having them enter a live demolition site? Albeit there may not be anything structurally wrong with the SS. And I believe I heard demolition already started? Idk, guess I'll just have to try and peep it out when I go back to Uni later this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has, the house in question has been scrapped... as far as I have heard since then at least. (today's revelation of 8 houses has taken everyone by surprise) And safety issues would prohibit that area for use as you said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing 7 houses from other people, seems like it might be 7, After more conflicting reports last night it seems that it will be 7 houses after all. Apparently the call sheet had as house locations SS 22, 20a, 20b, Disaster, Tent 1, Tent2 and the Parade building. This last was assumed to be a typo as SS 33 was listed under house rehearsal times instead of the parade building. The 8th house confusion was that one of the new zone locations LG (whatever that means) was also listed with the house rehearsals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I would stop fretting about SS33. Even if anything was happening in there, the marquee entrance would likely be the exit (because it's the closest way to get back into the park without crossing potential queues). Anything else would be inside or at a door backstage you wouldn't be able to see. But that's if anything was happening back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 They always put those up, for the TNA Stars, because their trailers are all back there. Ok...didn't know, thanks. There goes my hopes, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foREVer56 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Construction update: we now have a facade for tent 1. It's only the black wood as of now, but its arched at the top. But not a clean, smooth arch. It's rugged. If i had a camera i'd have taken a pic of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Could the new facade be an Alice cooper schools out? I know it does sound like a good one to use but that facade with the brick reminds me so much of a school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foREVer56 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) p&t? Penn and Teller, 2 magicians presenting a house this year. Should be announced soon. Although, recent spec may speak against the originally proposed locations tent wise. Edited July 23, 2012 by foREVer56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwrestledabearonce Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Oh, derp...How sure are we that we're getting Penn & Teller though? Also, wouldn't it make more sense to have them do a show instead of a house? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely sure, and actually is more cost-effective for them to not do a show. But this is off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goo Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Looks like the picture with the brick at the tents is the Alice Cooper house. So P&T is the other tent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WESKER69 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 It is definite. The Alice Cooper facade concept art says "Sprung Tent 1", which is the sprung tent closest to Simpsons. The facade was covered with a black tarp so that way the Alice Cooper house could remain a secret until they announced it. Sprung Tent 2's facade is flashy and Vegas-like... But can only be viewed from the side at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreySalyer Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Seems like we might be getting some decent facades for the sprung tents this year. As much as I loved last year's tent houses, I thought both of the facades were a little too simple. Don't get wrong I loved both facades, they worked PERFECTLY for their respective houses...but with such elaborate facades such as that of Winter's Night and The Thing they just came off as well, too simple. Maybe this is one of the positive consequences of being down a house this year. Make up for the lack of a house with some nice set pieces/facades or the houses his year. We'll see though on opening night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESKER69 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 The lack of one house doesn't affect whether or not a house facade is better or not. We've had very well done and somewhat elaborate facades for the Sprung Tents when there were 8 houses. 2006 (Psycho Path), 2007 (The THING: Assimilation), 2008 (The Hallow), 2009 (The Spawning) & 2010 (Havoc) = the best Sprung Tent facades. There were other really good ones too that had extra things to enhance the entrance. My point is, don't expect to see anything more "elaborate" than usual just because there is one less house.
