House of Horrors Replacement

[Chris]

If this becomes a sit down dining option again like Marvel Mania, I can imagine this area would once again be considered a park of Citywalk and no longer be an "inside the park" option.  Its a shame as I hoped the next evolution of this venue would have restructured the steps in front of the venue to allow for the street to be widened.  The main entrance needs more space. 

 

[Allen The Actor]

I can't imagine it becoming a part of CityWalk. There's more than enough dining locations over there, on the opposite side. Universal has been on a roll of pretty decent ideas and projects recently,

I hope they don't louse this up with some moronic idea...

oh wait....we're losing an attraction for a non-attraction in a park lacking attractions. Too late.

 

[Allen The Actor]

I still can't believe we're losing an attraction for dining and retail...right as we're about to gain an entire row of new dining....like, of all parks to do this? Really? AND especially when the park needs all the attractions it can use?! Wtf Universal...wtf.

 

[Red Carpet]

My guess is that they may turn House of Horrors into a Fast and Furious restaurant and gift shop as a tie in for the new tour animation. 

 

[Allen The Actor]

I'd rather have a gift shop/restaurant/walk-through tied into King Kong 360 3D....imagine walking through a jungle setting with creatures, skull island natives, and a photo op with Kong.

 

[William]

Maybe they've listened to our prayers and they've decided to relocate the NBCUniversal Experience? Wishful thinking.

 

[Freak]

I could see them doing a Monsters make-up show, a Monsters Cafe, and a store to replace it. Whatever they're putting in there, I suspect it's going to be a mere "quick-fix" to get rid of the hodge-podge theming before Potter opens. I think they'll eventually have a new attraction planned for that spot, but I think they're waiting until the main attraction opens before they're going to worry about that.

If only the fans were in charge of USH's future.

I hope your right.

I'm very disappointed with Universal right now, a new attraction in HOH , along with Springfield, and F&F would have been fantastic for 2015.

 

[Allen The Actor]

That's kinda what disappoints me. Something new doesn't always equal increased attraction count, which USH needs. Springfield is...well, dining. And F&F will be part of an existing attraction, the Studio Tour, unless they finally make an animations express tram.

I hope eventually they'll put in an attraction into that space...

I think there are going to be a lot of dining options in the park... if it is replaced with dining and shopping, it's going to be a huge waste of space... maybe if they theme it to the new King Kong movie that they are producing with Legendary....

Replace Monsters with Monsters? As awesome as they are, having a random Classic Universal Monsters attraction in the entrance of the park is still hodgepodge-y.

 

[Red Carpet]

While it may seem like park is already getting enough food options, the park still lacks a full service restaurant.

 

[William]

The park actually doesn't have a lot of food options. In fact, I probably wouldn't say that until after Springfield comes around. The loss of Hollywood Cantina, Cinnabon, Doc Brown's Chicken, and eventually Flintstones BBQ is the reason we received French Street Bistro, Palace Theatre Café, Starbucks, and Cinnabon 2.0. Don't wanna get off on a tangent, though. Haha.

I don't see why we need another dining option in the entrance plaza. With Hollywood Grill across the way and the Brews Brothers stand just after that, I don't care for food. I don't see the need for another store either, especially with Feature Presentation and Universal Studios Store next-door. Why take yet another attraction off the roster for food or merchandise?

 

[Aaron]

I'd actually like for them to put another show in there, something on the level of the Horror-Makeup show in Orlando. Move the entrance of the building to the corner where Blues Brothers currently resides. It would keep the Classic Monsters in the park and somewhat get rid of the haphazard feeling of that front area. 

 

[Alexshow.]

I think scale the entrance a little back to the building; and make the sidewalk a little more wider on that side of the road with making that façade a new-York style theatre

theme with theming on the other walls with posters of old monster films on the ground portion of the walls. But that's just me.. it could work but I think the dining might happen; no-matter what; but i'd be surprised.

 

[William]

I'd love for the Horror Makeup Show to come to our park. It's the only theme park show that's managed to make me laugh out loud. Just get rid of the Pantages Theatre theming to match the New York setting, and it'd fit right in (especially with the Universal Plaza tower).

 

[Allen The Actor]

With the real Pantages Theatre being 10 minutes away, it should definitely be themed to New York

 

[smoaT]

We should change the slogan of "The Entertainment Capital of LA" to "The Capital of Retail and Dining of LA"

 

[Steve]

If I may be unrealistic for a second,

I want to expand upon that relocation of the NBC Universal Experience. I'd love if they set up an old BTTF: The Ride time machine with a small projector screen.

No way in hell this would happen, but it would've been cool to save HoH as a Mt. Krumpit walk through attraction for Grinchmas this year
