I vaguely remember someone leaving a message on a prop on the last day of HHN that they'd see us in 26 or something like that. With two BIG movies already announced and multiple more rumored to be announced soon, I feel like the Usher is the best bet this year. I think marketing FINALLY gets the message that fans want Icons. When marketing took control, we lost them. You can create so much more unique merchandise to sell which i'm sure is a driving factor for having Icons back. However I think the main reason is that it is much easier to promote the event when you have a central character you can put on everything. A large face on a billboard is a lot easier to spot than a bunch of different movie titles. It also makes for a much better commercial. Not to mention the fact that fans love them! They really do tie the whole event together even if you don't see much of them inside the park. Edited May 4, 2016 by Badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I ask for is the Universal Palace Theater original that Silver Screams should've been in 09. If they bring him back and do AND-I 4.0, I will be severely disappointed. I'd rather no house for him at all if it's the only option. But if we get a UPT original, the 2 houses announced, and some other rumored houses, I will be VERY excited for this year. I know it won't feel as epic as last year's anniversary, but I think there's potential for a very strong house lineup this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I've heard some but not sure of the veracity of the rumor. It may just be wishful thinking by some studious fans. I wouldn't mind. I felt he was really our last good icon... not saying anything bad about Luck she was completely misused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it could be anything from any other year but the requel house could very well fit a UPT house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_K. Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 He also mentioned that the codenamed "Cobweb" house is taking over the Tent 1 space (prev. purge). Nice to get confirmation on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I really don't think UPT is returning this year. I haven't seen or heard anything supporting it, and know for a fact it wouldn't be in Parade if it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was two but, without context makes it hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will either especially since you nodded how the "requel" house could be from 2004. I was just going along with all the talk about the Usher possibly returning and a UPT house would match the definition Mike gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they've all been pretty quiet. I'm guessing you're right though. No icons. More marketing nonsense. One can hope though right? Oh and we have shots of COBWEB on twitter. Here is a link to what I posted on DD just because it's easier for some reason than linking the HHN twitter post. (Twitter can be infuriating at times) Someone else post it directly if you can, busy at work and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IheartNARWHALS Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Anyone have any idea what the hashtag BTS on the construction photos. When I click the link on it it's a lot of jpop and I highly doubt that this house is related to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oysterhead00 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) 2 More pics of "Cobweb" on the official twitter page. Looks like something medieval or gothic. (I'm a twittidiot...don't use twitter or understand it. Feel free to edit/repost/delete this if there's a better way to put in their pics!)
