Oof that's tough cause I adore both lolI would much MUCH rather have a house on the Thing than FNAF….just saying.

Are you saying they should not have a FNAF at next year's event?I would much MUCH rather have a house on the Thing than FNAF….just saying.
You open a FNAF meet and greet and I bet you get it gets insane linesBecause no one cares about Halloween until it’s Halloween time.
I mean you can argue all you want, but facts are facts. The track record for all-year Halloween stuff isn’t a stellar one - and that includes USH and Vegas.You open a FNAF meet and greet and I bet you get it gets insane lines
They are opening a HHN open in Vegas that's open all year, if that was true then why are they opening that?
FNAF isn't just for Halloween, it's also character based meaning you don't even have to worry about paying for actors likeness. It made more then Scream and Scream got better reviews and has jenna ortega in it along with it being considered a box office success.
I don't know if you saw the film but while most kids talked they are cheered at the end of the film like it was the best film of the years, its a young and large fan base, strike the iron at the very least have a photo op (they literally already have one) and sell some T shirts at the very least
I know everyone would love a house on the thing but if they can't convince John carpenter to lend them the IP we could forget about that ever happening.I would much MUCH rather have a house on the Thing than FNAF….just saying.
The reason why I framed my post as a “one or the other” scenario is that both would require some tedious and expensive mechanical work like Chucky did. They would have to do one or the other for either one to be pulled off effective and not have the other houses suffer from budget cuts.Are you saying they should not have a FNAF at next year's event?
Why? If anything they need something in the parks now but a Maze/house for FNAF will be 3+ hours at all times, young people loveeeeee the IP
I'll also Echo others thoughts, we need something like the House of Horrors in the Park. Horror is still a big part of Universal both Megan and FNAF were two of the most talked about films this year.....yet ZERO merch. Megan has been out for months and FNAF had great pre sale tickets so no idea why Universal isn't ready to go when these films kill it, heck we don't even have Mario Movie merch....like you'd think Merch is the easiest way to get these characters in the park. Disney has movie popcorn buckets of new films all the time, so it's not like it can't happen Universal just seems to not want money.
But yeah, I think we need a small area for horror, with props changed out each year and a meet and greet with horror characters like Megan, FNAF, Michael Miles and so on
Fair but if they don't have FNAF in some big way out side of food then I think they are nutssssssssss. If they can somehow make the Dream work theater be just FNAF then cool, I'm great with that (the lines would be insane) but it just needs to be there in some way.The reason why I framed my post as a “one or the other” scenario is that both would require some tedious and expensive mechanical work like Chucky did.

Oh I agree, but Cawthon may not want a FNAF house. He fully owns the rights to his own IP so if he doesn’t want to play ball….the Thing would not be a bad sub.Fair but if they don't have FNAF in some big way out side of food then I think they are nutssssssssss.

I think most people feel that way, but this is a business and those houses are for sure not in competition in regards to right acquisitions. I'm not sure if this is accurate, but if a Stranger Things budgetarily gets us a monstruous I'll take a FNAF house for another awesome original!I would much MUCH rather have a house on the Thing than FNAF….just saying.

Year-round horror/Halloween stuff doesn't appear to be viable, but there seems to be plenty of appetite for offseason horror-centric events (at least in Los Angeles). The Scream Break event at Six Flags seemed to do well (someone will correct me if not, I'm sure); Midsummer Scream and similar cons are not only extremely well-attended but have haunts and other themed entertainment alongside the usual convention stuff.I mean you can argue all you want, but facts are facts. The track record for all-year Halloween stuff isn’t a stellar one - and that includes USH and Vegas.
Universal is rolling the dice with the all-year experience, but it is Vegas after all so they’re taking a big risk with that gamble.
We see this a ton with Universal. They don't own Harry Potter, so theres a hogwarts in the UK. Despite owning dreamworks, they have rides at motiongate. Blumhouse work with anyone, whether its Blackout or the FNAF house in saudi arabia. Simpsons is Disney owned now. etc.I mean this is why Disney is king
They just can own everything they use.....I hope Universal starts to get better contracts or something because I feel like it very much weakens the parks and profits margins to allow partners to have this much control
JK Rolling seems to get it more, they release new wands a pretty good amount and they get new merch about every year if not more for Potter
I’m going to stop this line of discussion here. This is inappropriate. We will not be blueskying this concept.Imagine if they had something for Oppenheimer? How awesome a more seriously toned experience like backdraft could be.
Because no one cares about Halloween until it’s Halloween time.
I mean, look at the Haunted Mansion at Disney.. still hugely popular with both diehard Disney fans and the GP year-round.. I would assume a well-designed and well-executed Classic Monsters dark ride or thrill ride for USH would garner the same response..
Not wanting to get too far off topic but I think it would be great if we got an indoor coaster themed to the Monsters at USH. That we we can have a unique ride from Florida and would have some proper representation for the Monsters.They are working on a classic monsters dark ride-thrill ride hybrid that will be debuting at Epic Universe, though! It isn't coming to USH because 1) there's no room for it at the moment and 2) it overlaps significantly with Forbidden Journey thanks to sharing a ride system.
