What is Your Most Anticipated House for HHN Hollywood 2013?

[Mr.HHN]

Funny how neither of TWD attractions have any votes.

[Arsik_22]

I'm looking forward to TWD maze/scarezone but the other properties are completely new so I'm more interested in seeing how those turn out. I could care less about the Terror Tram though. lol

[AgentOfChaos93]

Had to go with Black Sabbath. They have been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid. Add in the soundstage and its now one of the most anticipated mazes of all time ( for me) and I've been going since 2007.

[Mr.HHN]

Cucuy 7, Sabbath 8 and Evil Dead 9 in the lead Woo!

[DTH316]

I'm surprised not more of us want Insidious. That's been a highly requested property for a long long time.

It's been highly requested by the GP not the fans

[ferox]

The GP are fans.

[UniversalStudiosGeek]

The GP are fans.

That's debatable.

[ferox]

How is it debatable? They request properties they want to see, buy a ticket to the event to see it, and then enjoy themselves at the event. That's the definition of a fan. What makes "them" unworthy of being called fans?

That is actually a murky gray area regarding HHN Hollywood... It's hard to tell where the die-hards end and where the GP begins..

[ferox]

What makes people who requested to see Insidious and then buy a ticket to see Insidious unworthy of being called a fan?

[horror lover]

It doesn't make them any less of fans for wanting Insidious..

[ferox]

I think some people have this weird idea that you're not a "fan" of HHN unless you're on this forum. Which to me is pretty silly.

[UniversalStudiosGeek]

I wouldn't consider them fans, with that logic every person that attends is a "fan". A fan/fanatic is 1. a person whose enthusiasm or zeal for something is extreme or beyond normal limits 2. informal a person devoted to a particular hobby or pastime; fan: a jazz fanatic (dictionary.com) The GP obviously do not fit either of those definitions.

[horror lover]

No, we're fanBOYS/GIRLS... we take being fans one step (into the) further

[ferox]

And how do you know that the general public don't meet your standard? What makes them the general public?

Edited August 25, 2013 by ferox

[UniversalStudiosGeek]

What do they do to meet the definition of fan/fanatic? Go to the event once and whine about 60-80% of the announcements?

[ferox]

Well...fan and fanatic aren't the same thing to start off with. By their very definitions.

fan 2 [fan]

noun

an enthusiastic devotee, follower, or admirer of a sport, pastime,celebrity, etc.: a baseball fan; a great fan of Charlie Chaplin.

fa·nat·ic [fuh-nat-ik]

noun

1.

a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as inreligion or politics.

Are you honestly under the impression that you get to decide who "gets" to be called a fan?

Edited August 25, 2013 by ferox

[UniversalStudiosGeek]

Fan:

noun

an enthusiastic devotee, follower, or admirer of a sport, pastime, celebrity, etc.: a baseball fan; a great fan of Charlie Chaplin.

Origin:

188590, Americanism; short for fanatic.

Synonyms

Yes they are the same. And no the definition of the word defines what a fan is.

fa·nat·ic [fuh-nat-ik] Show IPA

noun

1.

a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as inreligion or politics.

So not at all what you posted what a "fan" was.

---

So yeah, by the definition you posted people who admire HHN are fans. Like people who say "I want to see Insidious at HHN" and then go to see Insidious. I don't see the appeal for elitism over who gets to be a fan. What's the point?

Edited August 25, 2013 by ferox

[UniversalStudiosGeek]

Fan is the americanized term for fanatic they are the same. In your example the GP are only going to hhn for insidious they only admire that IP. The fans are the ones who admire the event as a whole.

[ferox]

Did you read the two different definitions of fan and fanatic? Fan is taken from the word fanatic but they don't mean the same thing. The same way a glass of sangria doesn't actually have blood in it.

Even ignoring that...the people who requested to see Insidious wanted to see Insidious at HHN because they like what HHN does. They appreciate HHN as an event, and want things they like to be a part of the event. Do you honestly think people who request a certain IP only go for that one IP and have no appreciation for the people who created the maze? They wanted to see Insidious at HHN because they know that HHN could do it right...because they are fans. As much a fan as any "die hard" here on the forums.

Completely agree with you man. Doesn't make sense to not think the GP are fans. Just cuz they aren't as knowledgable or aren't as crazy about the event doesn't mean they're not fans.

Not the way I make Sangria.... *spits chewing tabacco and tilts cowboy hat*

anyways guys lets move on no need to take this further. There are casual fans and there are Die Hards Fans like us we are all fans despite the GP's dumb thinking they pay to get in every year just like us no need to take this any further beside we do have a whole thread to make fun of them lol.

Case Closed. Lets all be friends again!

I was waiting for somebody to make that joke.
