Pandry Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The final reason is purely wishful thinking. Rumor/spec is that the Traditionals will be in CP. I really, really want the Skoolhouse to make a glorious return. It would be fabulous, and Jack's show not being there would allow me to keep my hope alive. That really would be the greatest having the Skoolhouse return. Maybe instead of having Bloody Mary appear in any form, they could still sync up the pumpkins to go out after her name is said 3 times. I loved that in '08. If that ends up being Jack's stage, that was the only thing that popped up as a concern to me: it seems so close to that traditionals scare zone that it might take away from the ambiance and theme. But who knows, we'll find out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoleSurvivor Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 So I'm in the park again and I came to the stage in front of Mel's to see if it really is Jack's Blender....and I think it is. It it has the shape of the blender and if you look from behind (not show in the pics) you can kind of see a greenish base (if I recall well Jack's blender had a greenish base). But I also think it would be too early to have a HHN prop on stage ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoriaBJJ Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 PeoriaBJJ, last year I worked at Roanoke so I had the opportunity to talk to the person who played the voodoo queen. She said they canceled it because when the show was going on, there weren't enough other scareactors in the scarezone. Sounds like the tour guide just gave a generic response, which is something I'm very familliar with having been in the theme park industry for the past 3 years!I do believe that I heard something about someone trying to sue Universal because one of the people in the purge show called their daughter something derogatory though. This person told me that Uni got a lot of complaints about the races of the actors involved. And who was killing who. Pretty silly but that what she told me. But back to HHN25... my body is ready. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystiquephreeq Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The base of the original blender is yellow. The closer pics do seem to show a shape very similar to the blender though. I'm still going to continue hoping Jack's show is in Beetlejuice theater.I agree with Pandry that the show would detract from the ambience of CP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The employee news thing about HHN comes out on the 7th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunnylvr Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Kind of anti-climatic - final video on sweepstakes sitehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpiOvO9d7VM Edited August 25, 2015 by hunnylvr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandry Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I recall reading it was scrapped due to it coinciding with a recent ISIS beheading. Then I think they took the official public stance that it was cancelled due to congestion. But as most have said, if they do in fact have a show right there, then we know it wasn't scrapped last year due to congestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomfwa Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Kind of anti-climatic - final video on sweepstakes sitehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpiOvO9d7VMThat's...it? No announcement of any sort? Ties into nothing? Jack was never even actually IN these videos. I figured it'd at least link to something with a write-up or more definition around Jack's Maniacs or his stage show or the Icon zone..bah.Weak.

criticalanalysis Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Kind of anti-climatic - final video on sweepstakes sitehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpiOvO9d7VMAtrocious. It's so bad I don't even want to give you a Like on that post for posting the link. How is this acceptable in Creative's eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Whelp I told ya this would amount to nothing. PS all over again. they changed their profile pic too....But who at this point really cares what they are doing with this. Just reveal the house list and SZ and be done with it. Another botched year of teasing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criticalanalysis Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) I wonder what next year will be like. Marketing did a terrible job this year, the hype fell on its face, failed use of an icon, Mike is seeing some backlash on their social media for various reasons, Scream didn't work out, there's nothing special about its 26th year. Will it be a year to experiment? Edited August 25, 2015 by criticalanalysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averixx De Avalon Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Um...I don't even know what to say. (This is my first year following the teasing/announcements) It was really bad, I was excited at first because of the potential but man... huge letdown with nothing to show for it. The twibbon(or whatever it's called) is not that great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmc Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I don't see why they have even bothered with that last video, or any of them. I hate to be negative but I wish they would just release everything now, what in the hell are they waiting for other than to just annoy us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phinfan91 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Buh, terrible. Only interesting to come out of this is the "every hour" thing. That's a whole lot of stuff to post leading up to the reveal. Part of me thinks it will just be 36 pictures of Jack chronologically from when he was introduced until now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottEdmondson41 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I haven't even watched any of the videos and from what you all are saying, I don't think I'm ever going to. But yay reveal midnight tomorrow night. Glad we know that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Meh I'll catch it in the morning... well... I guess if I'm still up I mosey over there just to verify we didn't get any curve balls. Very curious why AWIL still hasn't been announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunnylvr Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It seems as though if you do the Jack's Maniacs thing on your Twitter, then @HorrorNightsORL will eventually tweet some kind of message from Jack back to you. Wonder if that's how they are doing the "every hour" thing.. because it seems to be moving slow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottEdmondson41 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yeah I was just looking at the Twitter and they're responding to a bunch of random people posting about HHN now. I think that's kinda cool, though the random capitalization in every tweet now is really annoying me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
