Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Lucky Planet]

I was the one person who liked 2022's psycho-billy music loop. "Another Way Out" is a bop and I refuse to hear this slander.

Last year's mix had some EDM / TikTok Trap Beats that were legitimately grating and aggravating to listen to towards 1AM. My group remarked on it multiple times.

I wouldn't mind a return to the official OST's being used as event loop tracks. 2017 was the last time they did that, and it definitely added to the crossover feeling of everything. Unfortunately, Ghostbusters is kinda the only IP this year with any recognizable music tracks, unless they wanna use Tiny Tim or something haha.

yeah I hear you, I think that even if the movies this year don't have great music, universal always used from other movies. or from movies similar to the ones used that year, or recognizable themes. but at the same time, even if these ips don't have recognizable songs,
for me hhn feels more proper and more official with movie soundtracks, feels more like a theme park event.
I remember when they used songs from red dragon or the book of Eli, those songs stay with me.
my favorite time of all time is when they used the song from 28 days later, that was the greatest song they've used. felt epic.

movie songs feel more epic, kind of? they definitely stay in my head much more, even 12 years later. I don't really remember anything recent. ( I watched and purchased frailty because the song was used for hhn) that's how good it sounded

I NEEEEED IT! (dipped in chocolate)

When I first saw the Death Chill, my mind went to "korean corn dog with bugles" and that sounded amazing

Idk about this one lol

 

[Kichkinet85]

So cuteeee!

This looks yummy! Knew we would get a s’mores somehow.

 

[Chumpieboy]

Pass.

This thread rides until we step into the houses and see that Team Weeknd has failed or triumphed.

Joking aside, with this spec season essentially at a close, I just wanna say it's been another fun yet crazy season! Thank you to Brian and all the mods for keeping things civil and tidy, and of course a big thank you to Legacy and all the insiders for feeding us lil treats into what we may see in the season. You all are awesome.

See you in the Fog everyone!

I'm very curious to see what kind of foods we get for A Quiet Place and Insidious.

Also - I think the annual cake jar will be Ghostbusters as well. Maybe Major Sweets?

 

[Legacy]

I hope the AQP food is, like, a hard rice cake with pop rocks. Or a carrot called “A Carrot Place.”

But it’s probably going to be like “Death Angel Cake” with “Sound Suppressing Sprinkles” or something…

Having a World Expo stay-n-scream is cool. Having it enter through Lombard's is... certainly a choice.

I don't think the entrance at Lombard's for the World Expo location is weird, since they could possibly divert the S&S guests through the waterfront path in front of London to reach World Expo by the Amity restrooms/FFL theater. That's a pretty big open path for them to use. Now compare that if they tried having you enter from the other side, where you have Simpsons ride, Coke, and MIB, all busy areas which they need to clear daytime guests/ops out and overall are a much narrower path.

Entrance at Minion Cafe Courtyard for NY is.. interesting. Feels like kind of a pointless change but who knows!

For what it is worth, these are the houses from Parker’s words.

I don’t know who this Parker is, but I do find it strange that he tweets in the third person

 

[Acandrews12]

Having performed in 2020 oddly enough I felt safer working that period of time than any other during Covid (especially compared to how ops was handled). I can’t speak for 2021 but I think it was an unfortunate necessity.

I would have much rather the guests be required to wear masks walking through the house. The plexiglass and masks that the scareactors were wearing took away from some of the houses. Beetlejuice and Haunting of Hill House most notably for me.

but 2007 is my all time favorite year. 2007 was so long ago. yet I remember it so fondly.
2007 was one of the greatest hhn years for me. seeing Freddy, Jason and Leatherface was a dream come true. seeing the Thing, it was truly amazing.

2007 really was one for the books

2007 was my first HHN, so I wholeheartedly agree. But I have a bit of nostalgia bias.

I've always thought a good idea for S&S would just be to open up the queues for a few houses and utilize the queues as holding areas.

Reminds me of opening night for 31. The hotel entrance led us to Hellblock Horror and we walked through it before the event even started. Then we were in the park and got in line for Halloween. I loved it.

For what it is worth, these are the houses from Parker’s words.

Of course. None of the ones I’m super excited about.

All I can think is anticipating massive lines again, at least opening weekend. Rather than stretching the queue up past Fallon and Macys, use that back alley and the lakeside path, easier to cut off to exiting traffic.

More curious what Lombards entails. Just the hidden bar? Or will the zone itself stretch to Alcatraz/Richters?

Also the placement of an extra food truck in Springfield is now curious.

 

[HHNObsession]

Also the placement of an extra food truck in Springfield is now curious.

Is it extra though? I think the booths just moved around a bit? There was a food truck there at 30, and Chuckys food booth was there at 31.

I am genuinely curious if there really is more booths this year. Chucky booth location from last year was taken away, but the one on the bridge, where goblins feast booth is, is back.

What I am confident on, is that this has got to be the first year where 9 houses have their own themed food location. The only one that doesn’t is Museum, and that could possibly be the food truck in Simpsons. That would be wild if all 10 had food booths!

 

[SixBillium]

I'm assuming the switch in Stay-and-Scream has something to do with keeping a full-circuit around the park for day guests to exit. Keeping that main pathway through NY open (with the exception of any Torture Faire rollout) should help with traffic, and at least if a Minion's entrance backs-up it is closer to the front of the park.

And without the draw of a big-IP, I can't really see Lombards area ever filling-up drastically, and I'm assuming that will include most of the waterfront pathway outside of Diagon as a holding area. If Goblins and Monsters enter right by MiB / FF that's a pretty short walk.

I've been wrong about almost everything else this year, so maybe this is no different lol. But I'm assuming all this is to make the transition between Daytime and HHN easier by getting day guests out quicker.

This is the scariest HHN thing I've ever seen.

Seems like a smaller list this year? I'd need to look at the 2023 menu to compare but first glance this feels like less.
