No. We've had announcements as early as Feb-May the past several years. There is no "normally"

Just be thankful they haven't reverted back to their old ways of no house announcements until August & it'd just be one singular event reveal
Yeah, pre-COVID days, HHN houses (back then "mazes") were usually announced as early as February. Since COVID, things have changed.
 
I think HHN Orlando and Hollywood theme's might be different I have a feeling that our theme would be wacky and maybe even reality breaking. I mean just think about it the clues go so well together. First of all the terror tram theme has already been decided. John Murdy is creating a sort of wacky scarezones. And last but not least he mentioned "Down the rabbit hole" for one of the mazes that could be a original. I mean a sort of wacky themed year where nothing makes sense could be fun. What are your thoughts on this?

My first thought is, “Wow, he sure loves typing ‘wacky’!”
 
Orlando: SLAUGHTER SINEMA 2 is coming to HHN Orlando!!!!!!

Meanwhile in Hollywood...

It’d be crickets on this side of the coast if we got an announcement for an original.
I'm not sure if I would go that far, as Hollywood hosts a Midsummer Scream panel, and most of the time, Murdy drops an original announcement there right in front of all the people who care about the originals - HHN fans. The thing is, Hollywood did not have a panel tonight; Orlando did, and they decided to make this sudden announcement of Slaughter Sinema 2 recently for a fan service announcement at what is basically an event for fans.

I'm sure Hollywood will get info soon...
 
Also, Hollywood just doesn’t have that original house culture like Orlando. It’d be crickets on this side of the coast if we got an announcement for an original.
Yep, as much as I like original houses, I love houses that are 100% based on IPs. Original houses are something you see at Six Flags, Knott's Scary Farm, or any other local-made haunted houses. And everyone loves to go into attractions based on IPs, that's what makes Universal so famous and powerful in the theme park arena.

Hollywood will get its time to shine very soon I feel

I think it's also good to consider the gap of IP Exclusives in the wake of Orlando seemingly committing to that of a potential 4/6 (despite what someone has said in the past).

Think if we are looking at Hollywood, the amount of exclusive content that is dependant on that of third brands is gonna require them to have separate announcements for specific material; if things line up as they are. Texas, The Weeknd, and whatever else is lurking beneath it all; I think Hollywood's gonna need to have the moment to themselves in a way that Orlando doesn't need it to be.
