deliciousoatmeal Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 This is the first year I'm actually posting on here.. Like 5 posts in total actually. I JUST WANT EVERYONE ELSE TO BE AS EXCITED AS ME Trust me, we are inside, we've just gotten all that out, and now we're at the criticism phase. Now that everything's out in the open, we're saying "This could be better." But as the next few weeks go by, you'll see our moods skyrocket with anticipation. And then crash back into criticism once the event starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veektohrr Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=700155626745556 take this with a grain of salt...matter-of-fact, take a handful They mentioned this when I went to scare actor orientation; I forgot to bring it up on here. One of the challenges they are trying to get past is how to do crowd control so that guests do not run amuck off the path on the way to the back lot. Also mentioned was that they are doing a trial run of keeping Despicable Me open during opening weekend. If lots of people go on it they'll keep it open, if not it will be closed for the rest of the event run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not thrilled about it, but we'll see how this will work. It will keep people on the upper lot for sure... Unless they take you through that soundstage, that path is longer than Terror Tram. Good though, less people in line for TWD and AvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 im not getting how it would keep people on the upper lot...because the wont weant to walk? im confused im hoping by just letting people walk over there it will clear up the lower lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurseddragon Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Will they have a few actors along the path? Do you know? I doubt it as there isn't a specified scare zone in that area. As far as I'm aware, at least. There's five and a VIP. And unless everyone is a Very Important Person, then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know it won't be a zone, but maybe a few things from TWD zone will leak out onto the path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 food for thought Rick Baker was in the most recent episode of the Strain...could open doors like this year with FDTD I saw that too! I thought Come on, Rick! You of all people should know how to behave in a damn horror story! Runnin into a horde of zombie-pires... get it together! As for the walk to the backlot idea, they better be selling some HHN gel insoles and have zombies giving free foot massages because my feet are not about that life!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliciousoatmeal Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm actually kind of liking the idea of walking to the backlot. It will make it feel like 1 park, in a way. I mean it is, but you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah, I know it won't be a zone, but maybe a few things from TWD zone will leak out onto the path so its just one big boring walkway? that kinda sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliciousoatmeal Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 so its just one big boring walkway? that kinda sucks. Hopefully they'll extend the scarezone and include a few props along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.HHN Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't mind the walk I actually would love to walk all the way over there but yea no actors among that path it's gonna be boring as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ok, the anticipation will build that way. At least, for those who head to the backlot first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Walking to the backlot is a horrible idea for many reasons, but my main concern is this - TIMING. If they insist we spend 20 mins round trip simply just walking back there, then they need to open or close 30 mins earlier or later, because so many ppl are going to be screwed over by this, I just know it.

UniversalStudiosGeek Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Early access people are also potentially screwed because it will add another 20 mins to their time in the backlot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliciousoatmeal Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Early access people are also potentially screwed because it will add another 20 mins to their time in the backlot. I believe that it will thin out the lines down there a bit. By the time we're down there, people will already have gone through the mazes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 One of these two routes has got to be it. The source said that the walk is mostly flat, so it looks like we'll walk down the road. Although Route #2 would be a lot faster, I think route 1 seems more likely. Route #1 = Red Route #2 = Yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I really don't believe this rumor. I mean, cmon. It sounds ridiculous as hell. I remember this was talked about last year about the possibilities of walking and every which way of it was bad. Someone should get Murdy on twitter, hopefully he'll clear this up.

HorrorNightsFan13 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah this is a stupid rumor and could cause a lot of problems with security. I'm too lazy to walk down there so hopefully they'll have a tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
