jerkythirst Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 As minimalistic as this year's website it, the animated Michael Myers did startle me last night. Are the house logos covering the quotes for anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeventyOne Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I know the stuff with the clowns ending up in the street was nothing but wishful thinking and speculation, but I am really really disappointed and just sad that they are leaving that street empty. seems like a huge wasted opportunity. now that I think about it, they wouldn't even need props to make it work, just a bunch of crazy clowns running around. All I can think is the area became too much of a cluster last year, with zombies practically unable to move through the crowd. Why I assumed MiB and the area in front of London are off-limits as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsylumSB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 As minimalistic as this year's website it, the animated Michael Myers did startle me last night. Are the house logos covering the quotes for anyone else? I use two browsers and there are minor issues with both. On internet explorer, the words/fonts overlap but the rest of the site works well. In Chrome, the house graphics look and flow great except the menus just above it are messed up (tickets, home, gallery, etc) and do not drop down.

In Chrome, the house graphics look and flow great except the menus just above it are messed up (tickets, home, gallery, etc) and do not drop down. I'm using Google Chrome and it displays fine. The attraction images go under the text and don't cover them, but as this person said the menu items with drop-down options haven't worked the past couple years correctly. BUT, if I touch them with my touch screen, they work properly. Edited August 29, 2014 by kiwisoup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kiwisoup Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Wow, I didn't realize until looking at Hollywood's site just how much our events share this year...it's almost everything in one way or another: The Walking Dead (House) vs. The Walking Dead (House, Scare Zone, Terror Tram) Dracula Untold: Reign of Blood From Dusk Till Dawn AVP: Alien vs. Predator An American Werewolf in London (We had it last year) Face Off (Scare Zone) vs. Face Off (House/House of Horrors retheme) Giggles & Gore Inc. (Clown Factory) vs. Clowns 3D (Clown Ice Cream Factory) The Purge: Anarchy MASKerade: Unstitched vs. Mask-a-Raid Roanoke: Cannibal Colony (House) vs. Skullz (Scare Zone) (Both feature the Wendigo) Pretty much their Dark Christmas scare zone is the only things Hollywood doesn't share with us in some way. I know we've shared things before, but never to this level. I know it's some peoples' night mare, but I don't really mind it. I think it will be interesting to see how they compare and contrast...but I just know when I'm getting my YouTube fix of HHN videos down the line, every other comment is going to be a comparison or people claiming one did it better than the other...and that's just annoying.

Dr. Jimmy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This allows the trend of shared merchandise between both events, they can print shirts that say "Halloween Horror Nights 2014" that apply to either event and sell them at both locations. Even the house shirt last year was nearly identical with only the houses/mazes being printed differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooger and Dark Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I heard that AP nights were moving the check in to the Battery Park area of the park and wondered if this meant that would be where people doing stay and scream would have to go as well to check in? Also, where is the Battery Park area considered to be within the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Across from transformers. We always have gone in the side gates, swung past guest services, through the bathrooms, up hollywood Blvd, through CP, and into the kind zone holding area.

Cooger and Dark Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Thank you. I wonder if this is any sort of indicator as to whether or not Kidzone will even be a holding area anymore?... There was rumors a while ago that Kidzone would be shut down for reimagining once the summer months were over and with the word of AP previews checking in by Battery Park I am wondering if that is coming soon. If so, maybe Battery Park will be the holding area this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 There isn't really a holding area for the AP party as much as it is the constraints of where you can go. First, they open parade and the adjacent tent. Later they open the other tent. Then you are freed to the rest of the park. Battery Park is way too far from those houses or their entrances. If it meant moving to the SS then it would seem to run into the Stay and scream people and cease to be an AP party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooger and Dark Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Gotcha. I have friends doing Stay and Scream on one of the AP party nights and they were asking me what that meant for where they would be held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfreakHHN Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 When will merchandise be on sell? Cause I am so ready to order the house shirt! Merch tends to go on sale the week of HHN. I always order the shirts before I go to the event, which the shirts used to always be online but for the past I would say 3 years, they have never been online. I email the merchandise support the week of HHN (I'll probably email them on September 13) and see if they have the shirts. I almost always buy the shirts blind which some find not very smart but I typically love every shirt. So I would just wait till the week of September 15, in which they usually get the merch. Once they have the merch, you can order it over the phone to your house. Hoped this helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfreakHHN Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I am going to the event 2 nights this year (typically only go one night, so I'm stoked!) Now, for the saturday night I have express and know when and where to use it . Now I will not be at the park till around 7 on Friday, September 26. What should I do? I think I will get B&T done on friday and some houses. Either way, I am doing AP night on the 27 and with express I will be able to do most houses at least 2 times. Which houses should I do on friday? Also whats a good strategy to do all houses on friday night, even when getting inside the park at 7/7:30? I'm really only concerned with the houses, not the rides, so is there any specific order I should do? I was thinking start in the middle (Giggles and Gore) and work my way clockwise to the tents then sound stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really only concerned with the houses, not the rides, so is there any specific order I should do? I was thinking start in the middle (Giggles and Gore) and work my way clockwise to the tents then sound stages. The general consensus is start at the parade house, then work your way counter clockwise... but if you won't be there till 7/7:30, that changes things. I think your idea to do Giggles first is good because you want to get that done before Bill & Ted 's first show gets out. I forget which tent house has the entrance also closest to B&T but I'd do that one next. After that all the houses will be near their peak times so just choose houses based on wait times...and keep in mind that house wait times drop drastically once it gets near midnight, and even if the park closes while you are in line, you still get to go through. Realistically speaking though, don't bank on being able to do every house that Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverEvil1 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Commercial to be revealed at 6. Hopefully it will be an improvement. Looks like they aren't reusing anything this year, thankfully. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverEvil1 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Commercial's up for Hollywood. It's still the same for us though. Walking Dead focused. Personally actually do prefer it from last year's. EDIT: My mistake, didn't watch it through presuming it would be the same. They got AVP and Halloween in there, so that's cool.

JDW Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah it's better than rehasing Hollywood's old commercials but... Why can't they saunter a little faster than a shamble to escape them? Lord that grates on my nerves. Zombies are slow. They aren't going to overcome an air port. You would have time to grab your bags, order something in the food court, and liesurely walk out. This is all I ever see in my head when I see these type of scenarios.http://youtu.be/l4UFQWKjy_I 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
