Nah, the two new houses were awesome, and set up in permanent buildings, they ain't goin nowhere.
I look to see Nevermore and Vampire Casino to go the way of the dinosaur.

Any updates on this? They hinted at announcements a couple weeks ago

 

[Octobers Fade]

Nothing yet, I would think a couple of weeks... for at least another tease or something.
I would also think, same as HHNs, they know the dates and the prices why not set up the site and let people go ahead and get the tickets? I would buy my tickets tomorrow if they were available.

HOS Reunion auditions are next weekend, so i'd expect to hear something by then. If not, info will start to trickle out anyway.

Awesome thanks, I remember HOS revealed their first icon last year (voodoo queen) during my lunch break. I also remember on Facebook they said "if this post gets to 500 likes then we will reveal the next house". Much weirder reveals the HHN

I am in Orlando during September leaving Oct 2nd, I guess I will be gone before HOS starts.

Nice one OF :thumbs: I have kept the last 3 days of my trip free just in case, looks like I will finally get to do HoS :happy:

 

[shiekra38]

I wonder what the heck they are doing that they haven't before...the suspense is killing me

 

[Cole]

Sinister live show? Hopefully it's an actual horror show this year like that execution show they did a while back. They should have those at horror nights too. It was tons of fun to cheer while people were getting tortured on stage

*NEW INFORMATION/RUMORS*

3 New Houses this year! Yep thats right!!

Circus of Superstition rumored to return in a different location

Park-Wide Roaming Hoardes to return

One of the Hoardes is called "Feeding Frenzy"


Now which three Houses do you think will retire??
My guesses are... definetely Ultimate Gamble, Nevermore, and Zombie Mortuary?

Yeah that sounds about right on the houses to close. HOS is the best when it comes to roaming hoardes so I definitely welcome them back. Hopefully they are different then years past (NO ZOMBIES!!!!)

I have heard they are going and the third new house is an additional house... take it for what you want it's a rumor.
Also heard HOS will be open some Sundays this year.

Yeah they did the hoards very well the first year, it was truly awesome to see them release a hoard right in front of you. There will probably be some Zombies, if ZM returns they will probably use those actors as a hoard during cast changes.

 

[HOSbanshee]

So we get eight houses and an upcharge house?

 

[Cole]

Hopefully the experiment doesn't return

 

[UNIrd]

3 new houses? I really hope so. They've been outdoing themselves on the new houses lately. Loved the Bayou house from last year.

Also, I enjoy HOS immensely more than HHN. It must be the smaller crowds but even with Express at HHN, I just find HOS to be a better time each and every time.

 

[Clive]

Three new houses would be fantastic. My first experience was last year, and I had a splendid time; their newer house designs meet and exceed the standards of HHN's showmanship and shatter its standards of scare factor.

If they're replacing three houses, then my votes would be Ultimate Gamble, Nevermore, and Blood Asylum - but the latter is still relatively new so they'd probably get rid of Zombie Mortuary first (as great as it is). If they only replace two, I hope it's Gamble and Nevermore.
