I think once every 5 years going forward would be perfect.We can say that now; but before his "retirement" in HHN XX, he was literally featured in some capacity since HHN 10.

Did you read what I wrote? I said, remove Michael & the Iconic sounds. The IP is what made that house what it was...Sorry, but this is straight up BS. That house was a perfect representation of one of the best horror movies ever made. It captured the tone perfectly and literally brought the film to life. Even with the biggest house in the history of the event (at the time) they couldn't make a Walking Dead house sniff Halloween.
Sealed water bottles are a definite 100% yes (done this twice already). I'm not sure about empty.Are they allowing either sealed water bottles or empty bottles into HHN once they begin the full security check? I remember last year I could not bring water in and wanted to check if this year is any different.
Waits tonight were surprisingly light, most stayed around 30-45 mins throughout and the most popular houses (FVJ, Insidious, TWD) hitting 75 mins at some point but then coming down. Hopefully the rest of the weekend follows suit.
Awesome! Are you having a good time tonight?
Seeing how Freddy Vs Jason and Insiduous are getting the longest waits and all the hype and positive feedback... I say yes, IPs are definitely neededThis leads to the question, are IPs needed anymore at HHN due to all the marketing and commercials being mostly original content? I personally think one or two big IPs are needed just for extra points but I think this is the start of a new era where IPs and original content can live together in harmony without one taking over the other
Had an absolute blast, left about an hour ago cause we still have tomorrow and Saturday as well. It was a beautiful night tho, drizzled for about 20 mins and then it was clear and cool the rest of the night, not too crowded. Very good.
Current wait times:
FVJ, Insidious, and M&M: 45
AWIL and Purge: 25
ASylum: 15
TWD: 10
Body Collectors and Run: 5
Let's see if tonight's posted waits are actually accurate
Im gunna monitor the times tonight to help plan out tomorrow. Granted with the AP event tomorrow I expect TWD and Purge to be higher earlier.
I've been tracking the app all night. I don't have my computer with me but I can upload a pic of it all later.
Nice me and my girlfriend are driving up from Miami tomorrow. Staying at the Hard Rock for the first time for three nights. Got our ROF Express passes and day time park to park passes. I'm pretty pumped for this. Going to be celebrating her birthday.
I think 25 just proved that the general public loves icons no matter what. I really hope a new one shows up next year, hopefully with an actual personality to atleast try and match up to jack
Can someone explain the massive obsession some seem to have for icons?
Jack is over-played (way worse than Walking Dead [and hardly original]).
Eddie is dead.
Caretaker is my favorite and probably the most original.
The Director was a way of getting familiar faces into the event.
The Storyteller? Oh joy.
Even Terra Queen? Wtf. She didn't speak. Only communicated thru Eelmouth (again, wtf.) I will say, however, her henchmen were HOT and her Sacrifice show only picked frat boys.
Bloody Mary? Ok. Whatever.
Fear? Neato.
Lady Luck? Oh yeah. What a success.
The Usher? Another way of getting familiar movie faces into the event.
Realistically? The track record for icon success versus failure is pretty even.
I just don't get it....? And I've been attending for 15 years. My favorite year 2004 had zero icon. Hell, it had terrible marketing too. What's your Breaking Point?
Direct all that money that would be put into these efforts into the houses. I think that's what happened on '04 and is what made it such a pure joy.
I think people let their nostalgia cloud reality.
FVJ never let down until the last half hour, it was consistently at an hour.So how were the wait times tonight overall?
