House of Horrors Replacement

[Allen The Actor]

I wonder just how big the entertainment "flex" space will be. Why I'm asking, because maybe eventually it can host a scaled down version of SES or other shows that SES has hosted once they decide to part with SES and AA for future development.

^that is what is so confusing about this HOH replacement project. It feels like they really will just build it & open it, without so much as a whisper. If this project is going to be so many different things, you'd think they WOULD announce it since it will be opening long before Potter and its well past "Supercharged"/Nighttime Tours..

If Disney can have an announcement about their new Starbucks locations at the WDW parks, then this new addition should warrant an announcement.

Is this projected to open by Grinchmas?

It should be. They have already started placing DensGlass on the Store fronts.

Well we've always known the replacement would include some for on entertainment, just not what form/capacity... so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Speaking of HoH replacement, that rumor about TWD 'HereWeGo' mentioned on the previous page 2 weeks ago, has been passed along my way today. Haven't had a chance to really discuss it to get further details on this rumor yet, will try to do so tonight/this weekend. Anyway, I was told that the HoH replacement would be a TWD permanent haunt attraction. :unsure:  I'll believe it when I see it (and I really hope we don't see it!).

This is actually the 2nd time this particular rumor has surfaced. The first time was actually for Orlando as a replacement for Twister. Thankfully that didn't happen, but I do find it interesting that this same rumor has now surfaced for here.

TWD would just be so boring, especially after 4 years at HHN. What I would prefer to see Universal do is give us the "Resident Evil" laser-shooting attraction that Universal Japan has had for the past 3 years. THAT would be much more fun & interesting.

If the space does include a small TWD walk-through, I would actually be all for it if that's what it takes to stop screwing with HHN every year. I'll take it over no walk-through at all. It's a low-cost way to cash in on TWD craze and it wouldn't require a whole lot of space, so why not? Besides, when the franchise has eventually run its course, they can change it into something else. Maybe it will involve shooting guns like Japan's Biohazard.

If what I heard is true about the entertainment/special event venue in the large space being used for a house venue for HHN, that would help with the seventh house fiasco.

TWD merchandise 'should' be enough to cash in on TWD craze...

I'll be surprised if this permanent maze attraction happens, but as I said, the same rumor surfaced in Orlando roughly a year or two ago as a replacement for Twister. Maybe Orlando's new attraction will be "Jimmy Fallon Presents TWD" :unsure:

^well, that rumor on the other forum was started by a proven troll. He claimed that he posted all of that "info" out there because he was getting revenge on his dad, who was supposedly good friends with Murdy, who told him that info because he wouldn't let him smoke a joint with his girlfriend. I doubt he was very credible.

I'm sure you know that guy well.

Love seeing the art deco shapes forming on the building.

 

[12th Man]

Wow, the design is looking much better than I expected!!

 

[Alexshow.]

Nothing can describe my feeling of excitement over the detail is with this..

 

[William]

It's insane just how narrow this new structure is making the main pathway. I wonder if Hollywood Grill will be going under any significant changes in the near future..?

I believe someone on the forums said that when he mentioned that Cartooniversal is going that they intend on doing some work to make that less narrow. Could be wrong about that one.

 

[Nland316]

I have a feeling that it will he finished by Grinchmas. Hopefully Cartooniversal and Hollywood Grill's supposed reworking could happen sooner rather than later! Crowds will be overwhelming by the time Potter comes, hhn is already bad as it is during the opening scaremony.

 

[Alexshow.]

Its possible. Heck; if this is the plan for Winter, they get the new parking structure open for the general public with this open. But, lets wait and see. I'm not holding my breath as I want it to be in the best quality for the HOH project (which seems very good to be that).

 

[HereWeGo]

Is this project supposed to be finished by the end of the year?

Its assumed. I have my doubts but it'd make sense.

The structure is really coming along! Wish they took some more shots from the other side of Universal Plaza, I'm eagerly awaiting to see what the final product looks like!
