For HHN 2000, they actually had Bill and Ted in Water World. It can be done. Here is proof it can be done:Water World Stage? Where else could it even go?

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but does it bug anyone else that they begin ticket sales with only one official house announced? It really bothers me when I don't even know what I'm about to fork over money for. I know it's been like this the last few years, but didn't they used to have everything announced before ticket sales began?

Been stewing on USH with B&T and a thought rings to mind:
what if Universal in general was looking at the GP reception to The Hanging: Uncancelled, and the merchandising element; and looked to B&T as a byproduct? Regardless of show quality; one has to wonder if they're looking at B&T (especially if it actually is in Hollywood ontop of Orlando) as a element of maximizing merchandising potential with the Wyld Stallyns.
It has been 10 years too, so time has passed to where I think this could work depending on who they got for the writing team (plus the less I have to avoid of Purge, the better).
I think enough time has passed to where no one is really going to remember it. Can’t believe it’s been a little over 10 years since it got canceled! Crazy how time flies!Been stewing on USH with B&T and a thought rings to mind:

I realize this is like whack a mole, but this is still not true. The show did offend people, whether or not you think they 'count.'The crazy thing is the reason the Bill & Ted show got canceled was not even for it actually being as offensive as it was perceived to be by all the journalists who never even saw the show, picked up the story, and just ran with it to make it sound worse than it actually was. At this point, I don't even care if people remember it or not, the show never should've been canceled in the first place (rewritten, sure, because regardless that year was a stinker).

I understand the need to fill the void and Jabba became the go-to, but for it to be the replacement for THAT LONG was insulting. I firmly stand by the Bill and Ted show did nothing wrong, should've never been canceled (at most, rewritten), should've returned the following year, and if not, then at the very latest 2 years later. It is BEYOND time for it to come back and the dust is long settled.
The hanging was back at Knotts and the crowd was rough for them…you can tell the old dumb jokes didn’t land, but the well written jokes did!I'm also on the "never really found B&T or The Hanging" particularity good. Sure, a few jokes will land, but for everyone that did, maybe 10 didn't. And I'm not really into "bashing" humor unless it's exceptionally well done... which the majority of those shows aren't.
There were a few saving graces for B&T... the energy of the cast was always great, the dance numbers were entertaining, and it was a place to sit for about an hour. That was enough for me to see it at least once each year... but not really the script.
Also, while I only got to see Orlando's B&T once (the final year), something else that helped their show that Hollywood's never had was circus-style acts in-between the sketches. That way, even if the sketches bombed, you could still be entertained with other acts. Kinda makes me wonder why Hollywood never leaned into that. Even Knott's is going that route.
Yeah, this is a great point. I think something like Nightmare Fuel would be a great fit in Hollywood precisely because of the great energy. I mean, I have no idea where they’d put it! But still.There were a few saving graces for B&T... the energy of the cast was always great, the dance numbers were entertaining, and it was a place to sit for about an hour.
