ThNdIzNiR Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I must also be slow... It says frequent fear pass tickets are on sale, but I don't see them on the main site yet. Is that an error? "Our amazing line-up of houses and scare zones—drawn from movies, TV shows, " TV Shows... plural... hmmm???

Jediwhit82 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Also in that press release was the mention of live shows. Shows being plural. This confirms we will have something more than just Bill and Ted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

criticalanalysis Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) What an abysmal waste to have her back. It'll be exactly the same thematically as last year. It's "safe", it isn't creative, it looks cheesy. The best part is the logo. Could they not have gone back to the HHN12/13 vibe?

I hope you smile once in a while I do, but this is awful. I legitimately think the Creative team are playing it FAR too safe. She's: 1) Not scary 2) It's a complete rehash of last year just with a girl 3) Thematically it even looks identical to last year 4) Awful costume design with an unattractive actress Edited June 9, 2016 by criticalanalysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Love the reveal. Well done. Great cinematography. but... I think they stole the light from my show lol. JK I'm sure it coincidence. It's nice to have another female icon sure she is reused but. A.) it's an icon. B.) she gets a house & a zone c.) they are playing up her stay in the asylum/prison not the clown aspect. It's an obvious cash grab for the Harley/suicide squad popularity. But it works and it's a theme again. Good job 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On point #4 though, he is definitely right. The design and color choices were pretty awful. The turquoise just looks bad in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

criticalanalysis Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Honestly I'm pretty pissed about this. IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS LAST YEAR. It is by far the LAZIEST thing I've ever seen of HHN in all of its years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Entering info for Florida resident gives no discount on Frequent Fear/Rush passes, either. Just single night tickets. Anyone see how to get APH discounted tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverEvil1 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 My opinions on the reveal: Not as much focus on the clown / circus aspects as I was anticipating. Very happy about this. A house / scarezone combo is the best treatment an icon's gotten since Bloody Mary I believe. (Usher just had his house, Fear & Luck just had zones, Jack had a house and show but his house wasn't even necessarily themed to him, as the title stated, he presented Monsters & Mayhem). Would it be safe to assume the house is in Shrek, based on what we know? I'm actually interested in the story somewhat. (Though I am intrigued to how they actually got Jack back in the Jack-In-The-Box.) (Also, I guess The Lantern aspect is somewhat kaput?) Love that logo. So you know what, hats off to Universal. If this is a sign of growing even closer back to the "original" icon days, then I'm certainly excited to see what's next. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is by far the LAZIEST thing I've ever seen of HHN in all of its years. How is it the same? This year, Chance will step into the spotlight as the star of the nation’s best Halloween event. Universal Studios Florida will become her stage – where she will take guests on a journey inside her twisted mind as she struggles with what is performance vs. what is real. Different costume, no jack, playing on the fantasy vs reality... In fact it is retconning Sindy's original story. You want 2002.. THIS is the original story from 2002! Granted it's Chance but it's a way to appease the fanboys and the GP alike. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criticalanalysis Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 How is it the same? Performance = clown stuff like her outfit. She was already there last year and her costume is a downgrade. Logo wise it looks similar, same general tone as last year, general vibe is similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
