HHN 2024: News & Info

[Spookies n' Stuff]

I wouldn't say we're in budget decrease territory yet, but we're certainly in budget staying the same territory.

To be fair, I'd assume the budget for this year was pretty close to last year. That and most massive budget cuts we've seen like 2017 are speculated to be over-spending related rather than attendance related, so it would be a bit unprecedented unless they're taking a serious profit hit. I'd be curious to see what the actual margins are like since I've never really thought about it before.

While for sure this year is not as busy...I see e line for food and drink. They are doing fine, I hope the budget isn't too cut because we for sure need another scarezone somewhere in the park

As I recall, 2017's obvious deficiencies were in large part due to massive overspending in 2016. The event saw a considerable budget increase over the previous year as recently as 2022, though I can't speak for this or last year.

While there haven't been any sellouts, last Friday the 20th felt plenty crowded. Bars were full, everything but Monsters had a healthy line, and there wasn't room to move on the Lower Lot.

2023 had the most stacked IP line-up I've ever seen. Why are people shocked that this year isn't as crowded?......

Yeah, merely "crowded" following last year's lineup really doesn't surprise me very much.

It's a double-edged sword. Use IPs to bring people in. But if IPs run out, how do you get people back? Guess they should've spent that time innovating with their originals instead of revisiting the same (albeit, highly effective) well.

I think Hollywood could also just play it safe and just bring in the greatest hits of orlando originals. Would LOVE to see Graveyard Games.

Can we borrow from Singapore's dumpster instead of Orlando?
(although still want Puppet Theatre, but combined with Singapore's "Puppetmaster" icon)

I probably have just tuned it out but this is really fucked if this happens a lot.
He just wanted to record himself and a few scares but instead had a whole ass TM follow him through the whole maze telling him to "keep moving" and it seems many are sharing that sentiment, more than in previous years.
I guess the fear of Vloggers is strong this year than previous of something

Just check the app/site. It's all available to see. It's "surge pricing", so it depends on the day you go. Fridays & especially Saturdays will always be higher $$ than a wed/Thurs/sun.

I'd love to see Hollywood try their hand at adapting one of Orlando's "Carey Ohio" story arc houses.. simply for the novelty of contributing to the overall Carey Ohio HHN mythos..
