Halloween Horror Nights 25 Wishful Thinking


Legacy

Recommended Posts

You know, after seeing the overview video one thing stuck out and reminded me of something. The last icon we had, Lady Luck, we never got to see her casino. I'm hoping this year if they do bring back multiple icons, which I'm thinking this is more than likely going to happen, that they do some sort of icon house where we go through pieces of all their houses, and maybe we can finally see Lady Luck's casino in one of the scenes. It's just a hopeful thing for me, I personally didn't like Lady Luck as an icon but I thought she did deserve more than just a very bad half assed scarezone in the New York alley =/.

THE NATION’S PREMIER HALLOWEEN EVENT

Now in its 25th year, Halloween Horror Nights®, the nation’s premier Halloween event, puts you right into some of the most pulse-pounding moments in horror history. On select nights from September 18th through November 1st, 2015, the streets of Universal Studios Florida®theme park come alive with hordes of horrifying mutants, monsters and maniacs. With 25 years of experience to draw from, nobody creates a more nightmarish Halloween event filled with truly original scares and authentic horror movie moments. You can explore terrifying haunted houses, make your way through multiple scare zones where creatures lurk around every turn, enjoy outrageous live shows, and experience many of the park’s most exciting rides and attractions.

I would love to see IOA used with HNN, if nothing else just to thin some of the crowds at USO.

One might think they would have to use both parks to make this year "something people won't want to miss."

I've probably let on that I'm less picky than some people on this site. Hell, if this year was just sequel houses to things we already had, I'd probably still go. Got nothing better to do around that time and my area's halloween experiences are non existent (no decorations, no lights on at houses, no trick-or-treaters).

But I'm betting you there are people who probably have less taste than I do that thought last year's experience was less than they bargained for. The area up from the HP side of things had nothing going on and I thought I was in a part of the park I wasn't supposed to be in because of it. The only reason I'd go up there is because I had to for some of the houses. Something like that again wouldn't wow anyone at all, I'd think. Especially not twice over.

If this year is two parks, I'm guessing each park will have 3 SS entrances with Carnage and Poseidon or Popeye in IOA and Disaster and Parade in USF.

Disaster is still filled with G&G (some props still there). It's being used by Dig Escape right now. My guess it would retain the same configuration for this year.

I would be a lot like:

Minus Nazarman's. I don't think the Parade and sprung's would be used. If they are, they would most likely close off the entire right half of the park. A lot of walking otherwise. But you have plenty of ss to use. Disaster can house another house if the remove train extended temp queue. Discovery center can be used again. Triceratops trail. Carnage and Poseidon's would definitely be used as well as Bluto's could be.

New video

In the new video...

At 1:15, is that some sort of set for filming Lady Luck?

I can't believe they changed the damn dates back after all the trouble we went through to be able to go the 1st week of October instead. Furthermore, now that the days have returned, our dates are on the back end cusp of the Rush of Fear Pass. Assuming that pass still exists, I hope they still keep it as the 1st 3 weeks of the event (including Oct. 4, which is a Sunday). Why would they put faulty dates on their website in the first place? It's so ridiculous.

Official dates:

Sept: 18-19, 24-27

Oct: 1-4,7-11,14-18, 21-25, 28-31

Nov: 1

30 nights total. Most ever. They've only added a couple Wednesdays, but it's still great they decided to go back to the 18th as opening weekend and add more dates.

Can you post a link to the source of this information please?

NM...

Here are 2.

It's really good to be back reading all this conversation. I've been fascinated for the last two hours reading about 30 pages of commentary. I am hoping that some of the speculation here will truly end up being true - meaning NO MORE WALKING DEAD!

I like AHS - while I am not sure I'd be thrilled with multiple AHS houses, I think that show has plenty to offer for some really GREAT houses. However, this being the 25th year, I anticipate some kind of tribute to times past. How could you not? If you're hyping a major anniversary, just bringing back Jack isn't enough. There has to be more. I'm already a huge nerd for this event, and I will probably be certifiably insane by the time the event actually begins because the build up is killing me, and it's only March.

I was so excited, I was tempted to buy all my airfare today, but I'm going to hold off and start begging for extra vacation time to see if I can squeeze in a couple bonus Wednesdays! I'm sure this year will be the fastest October of my life. For those of you who live in Florida, be grateful you can go so often. Three long weekends is my max. <sigh>

With all this speculation (and I have't read it all), can you just tell me if you think LT will be back for sure? God, I hope so..

I'm wondering if Lady luck plays some part in this year's event.

I mean... I don't know why she would, it isn't like they used her properly the first time, but with Jimmy really only posting things that related to her in terms of other icons and the extended scenes of the set it really does seem like they're showing some love for hhn 21.

There was mention earlier of 6 antenna arrays being built around the park for wireless internet. Hopefully they'll be used for something to do with LT. However, they also could be used for the Compound, some other new promo, or something that's not even related to HHN.

Also...

If you want a prediction, here's one... (my gut says)

THE WALKING DEAD WON'T BE BACK THIS YEAR...

There, I said it. (and this is coming from a huge fan)

Showing some love for HHN 21 you say? Hmm... If only we get Blood N' Gutz and Nightingales...

Every one deserves a second chance. Even Horror Nights Icons.

Am I the only one NOT looking forward to an AHS house? Each season ends with plenty of unanswered questions and the showrunner seems like he's trying to pander to every possible demographic in order to get viewers.

But hey, that's my opinion, and my gripes are with mostly execution, not content.

No. You're not the only one.

I've never watched the series so everything in that house would be lost on me.

New video

Is that Body Collectors I see at 1:39? I'd die for a new Body Collectors house! (Wishful thinking don't judge :P)

Hey, what about this video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKpYcARsDjA

That end footage of Jack looked new. In the past teaser videos we've gotten, the footage of Jack was re-edited past footage of him. This looked brand new. Possibly a quick shot of this year's commercial? It's an awesome thought.

A thing to keep in mind with the video is on twitter Mike did mention that the video he was shooting was just a general overview overview of the event, especially to international visitors who may not know what the event is. So I'm not reading too much on the footage from 21 being used in it.

Now Mike also said on twitter there will be teases, and without a doubt Jack is one of them. Either way, it's gonna' be fun seeing just how big this year will be.
