Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[ReelJustice]

Rumor from a tour guide on Reddit -- so double grain of salt -- is only two Stay & Scream zones: NY and SF/Richters. We'll know for certain in a couple Fridays, but plan your contingencies now, especially for opening night.

They just added a food truck to Springfield last night

Interesting that they'd have the only 2 S&S areas basically directly next to each other. That area could get incredibly congested.

I’m definitely eating this with some salt.

Taking an additional three houses’ worth of pre-queue and adding them to an already contested area or a location that traditionally only opens to one house? Sounds like a bad experience to me.

Add onto that the fact that you’d be preloading everyone in the front half of the park, where most non S&S guests beeline it to? It just doesn’t make much sense.

If true, those back houses are going to be dead for quite a while.

Wait… is it Vamp or is it Blumhouse? Because one is good and one is terrible…

Both. Blum and Vamp. It’s a weird combo IMO. I’ll rather just Vamp TBH.

maybe it could always be the case that the first floor is decorated of one property and the second floor is decorated by the other property because they could separate the decorations by floors.
like when they had the alien decorations and the alien statues for the first floor and then they had the universal monsters sitting in the small theater with the projector playing movie clips in the second floor.
so blumhouse could always go in a different area

I think you could do a lot of fun cocktails themed around Blumhouse characters and I could see some fun integration of props/characters/whatever into Dead Coconut around the studio. Regardless of the theme, I have faith the team can put something fun together.

If we’re getting a Blumhouse scare zone, I definitely wouldn’t want more. Don’t they already set up a separate photo op on the 2nd level of CityWalk every year anyway?

i did not know if it was every year, i only saw it last year.

Last year they had a Blumhouse photo op in CW for the first time. 3 or 4 years ago they started the DCC (Can't remember its first year) and I believe they have a photo op area upstairs (I never found the time to check it out so I could be wrong here.)

Yes, but those two concepts were connected - Monsters Studio made a cheap sci-fi film.

We REALLY don't need anymore Blumhouse. At this point it may be the most tired IP at the event.

Blumhouse isn’t really an IP in and of itself. It’s a studio with numerous individual IPs it can leverage.

I believe the count of just two stay and scream holding areas, but I believe SF/Richters is NOT the location of the 2nd one.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

Well it sounds cool - but I'd definitely much prefer it to just be Vamp.

With the S&S discussion - I'd be tempted to do San Fran and then beeline straight to the back of the park

I think so too, no need to run the SF one if no major (pun intended) IP is attached to it. It made sense for Blumhouse/Chucky, but cant imagine Major Sweets is a draw.

Would be missing out on a ton of F&B sales in Springfield too...

it kind of depends on what decorations, or what properties they use specifically, what props. or what the theme is if they are trying to sort of blend vamp and blumhouse.
the combination is surprising, but maybe they have something cool in mind. I think it could be really interesting since it could have just been blumhouse by itself, but adding vamp sounds really interesting.

Yeah, if they wanted to cut it down to only NY and Springfield that would make sense. But NY and SF makes virtually no sense.

 

[saint.piss]

They should. This year has been different and unique on the roll out. If by next Thursday we don’t have anything, we’ll go ahead and create them.
