How important are the Fuel Girls to the show, actually?
I have posted here before about my increasing disinterest in HNF, so keep in mind that that's where I'm coming from with this - but in my mind, if they only brought the acro and fire wand tricks, I've been waiting for a major shakeup from all of that for a long time.
To say it nicely, they have certainly brought their talents to HHN very consistently over this past half-decade, and I am interested to see what new offerings UDX has chosen to fill those gaps with.
Here's hoping they don't just end up putting together a knock-off Fuel Girl group to do the same routines as ever.
Also, I'm not at all surprised to see them keep using the HNF name. They essentially hit jackpot on a solid Halloween theme park show name from the start right after B&T and AoV ended. It's got name recognition, people seem to really like it, and they own it completely. "Nightmare Fuel" as a phrase doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with the Fuel Girls themselves. It's got its' own strong cultural meaning outside of that context. Honestly, I always took it as just a cute little nod to the group, nothing more.
