Have any portals gone up?

I know you’re excited but you don’t need to ask several times a week. Believe me, you’ll know about it if there’s something.

It's ok to cry.

Well, it finally happened. I remember my first trip to Universal in October of 2011, and wondering why there were a bunch of rusty cars in New York and 7’s all over Hollywood, only to learn of a little something called Halloween Horror Nights. Flash forward 9 years, and I finally got to experience a Universal haunted house (two to be exact)! Finally getting to see the amazing sets and production value in person was beyond my wildest dreams, and I was grinning from ear to ear throughout both of the houses. Loved the sets and design in Bride but I loved all the scares in Tooth Fairy and the costumes and makeup were great in that house. I was so disappointed when what would have been my first HHN got cancelled, but now i’m looking forward to next year even more.

THIS!!! This is why i think it is a GREAT idea for Universal to always have a house or two available throughout the day. It gives park guests that might not normally do HHN a chance to experience what it could be all about! Yeah, you were planning on attending this year but 2020 happened, but i feel like a good amount of people on a normal year would test the waters and love it, thus buy an event ticket. Horror has had my attention my whole life, my doorway to HHN was when i was following online posts about the progression of IOA in 98/99... people started posting reviews of the event and i was enthralled. As the years past and Universal started upping their website for HHN i had the fever!

Hopefully we see you in the fog next year!

Except houses are expensive to staff. The support, the cast, ops, security all adds up to a bunch of money. I have no idea if the props cost a bunch or if they can reuse enough to be much less and just have to get new blood and gore to spice them up but the people are a huge cost.

On top of which, HHN isn't an event that needs the push of a daytime house, for whatever dubious advertising value that holds (the poster above is a great anecdote, but that's not data).

Repairs alone would be expensive. Most of the houses are in shambles towards the end of a run and that's without daytime guests on top of the HHN crowd.

This is one of the big arguments, too, against pushing the opening back to August to compete with NSS - the houses couldn't take it.

I haven't heard anything yet and I'm not touching that rumor.

I think it's desperation-level wishful thinking, and don't have much use for the Twitter user referenced, but I'll damned sure be there if it happens.

“Warner Brothers is twisting Universal’s hand and forcing them to open the Beetlejuice house for at least two days in 2020” that just sounds lowkey stupid

All of these "sources" are quoting each other. It's almost silly.

That’s exactly how I felt why they make Uni open a house for 2 days to keep the rights for next year?

Not to be another anonymous, weirdly vague source, but I wouldn't dismiss that tweet as being completely unfounded.

Also seems fair to point out that TPU spec map was mostly accurate this year.
