Freak Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 That outrageous original idea Murdy was talking about is probably going to go in the Mummy venue. Its got to be in 3D and that venue is too space restricted for other potential properties. Besides, Mummy and 747 are the only venues suitable for the 3D lighting and 747 is presumably (and hopefully) saved for the "big" property. Oh, and I think this "out there" idea has something to do with Christmas. Just a thought. As for the HoH replacement venue, he said Shrek and backliOt are unlikely. I know he said Globe is tough to get but that's the only possible venue I see at this point. Where else would it go? Would they be willing to reduce their house count back to six for more shows? Man, all of this caffeine and sugar I had over the Christmas season is causing a lot of brainstorming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrorNightsFan13 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I would think that they can use DM queue, but summer is when Universal is busiest and they'll need the queue unless they close down DM for a large portion of the year which is not likely. Shrek queue or Backlot would seem most likely even though he said the opposite. Globe would be a great venue, it's huge inside but it is used for different events continuously through the year I believe. I guess we'll find out once construction walls start going up. Happy holidays everybody (for those celebrating Christmas, I hope Krampus visited rather than Santa! ) Edited December 26, 2014 by HorrorNightsFan13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Here is my speculated line-up so far for the five titles Murdy was talking about (Based on the trends that HHN are going for): The big-draw property: Walking Dead The 3D maze: Dark Christmas The urban legend maze: Trick r Treat The Universal movie promotion maze: Crimson Peak The 2015 movie maze: Insidious 3 The last two are fair game. I'm going to guess The Fog (anniversary) and American Horror Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrorNightsFan13 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 If we bring the fog in because the anniversary then let us not forget WTMN 40th anniversary so Alice Cooper could be back as the 3D maze. I would much rather have that for the 3D maze than dark Christmas. 3D wouldn't fit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Sounds solid to me. Idk about TrT, AHS, and the Fog though I guess Cabin in the Woods could thrown into the "fair game" mix. Replacing it with the Fog sounds more realistic as it could be a good follow up for AVP with the creature effects. I'm still sticking with my speculated five. Alas, I really want to see the Fog done someday. Imagine that lighthouse as the facade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Yea honestly the fog would be great. I guess the anniversary thing could work out. Also I'm gunna toss in The Strain since its not in competition with TWD and Guillermo Del Toro could push for it if their doing Crimson Peak as well Edited December 27, 2014 by Ridesandstuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 If we get AHS, the Strain sounds very likely. Since its under Fox, it would be more like a two-for-one package. Would they really want two Del Toro mazes though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I don't see why not. He's a pretty big name in the horror industry. The only reason I'm iffy about AHS is because of the whole competition with TWD. Hopefully they can work that out because this season would make for a pretty cool maze.

horror lover Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Quickly changing the subject before I get yelled at/mocked for agreeing with Freak on KISS 3D, any speculation on new locations for the mazes (if I haven't missed any discussion on the subject already)?

HorrorNightsFan13 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Murdy has said unlikely to Shrek, backlot, or globe so there's not many other locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Either Castle theater (hope not) or Globe. Castle has to stay open for park capacity. With Globe, there is a least a fighting chance Murdy can score the globe. If they can access half of the busiest film location in the world, I think they can make some leeway for HHN. Besides, they can find other venues to make money for events. Looking at the Shrek queue, its too small. Its around half of the size of the old one. The back lot can't be used since there's no more room. And I don't see a maze going in SES since they need the capacity. I'm saying lower lot soundstage or Globe.

Arsik_22 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Why was the Despicable Me venue ruled out? There's enough space for the maze and queque just like before and I really doubt they'd need the ride open if F&F is open for HHN.

HorrorNightsFan13 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I think its ruled out because universal is most busiest during summer time and DM is gonna need the extended queue space if they keep it open during the summer. The only way I could see DM being used is if they close it down for the summer through the event. Which is not probable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the railings are permanently placed into the ground which tells me that they have no intention of using it as a house venue. Besides, the ride needs to be open for capacity at HHN. Again, if they do happen to use Globe, the queue format can be similar to the former T2 venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 DM hardly gets a line and that's a brand new ride. And at HHN especially, that line was always short. Next summer, it'll be even shorter. I say they make due with it and use it as a maze location again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferox Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Oh my God are we already saying they are going to get "lazy again?" I can't stand a year of "I have no idea how the event works or what goes into it" complaints. I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horror lover Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Okay, this was a weird thought that popped into my head but... what if we had NO upper-lot mazes next year? What if they had all the mazes on the lower lot and back-lot and used the upper lot for scarezones and shows only? We'd have shows in SES Theater, Animal Actors and Universal Plaza, along with the Tram and the scarezones, but the bulk of the event would be on the back-lot with the two mazes on the lower lot?
