The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

[SeventyOne]

Rocky Horror Picture Show

They already have the foundation for it - the costumes, the music, etc. Not sure if it's even possible to get the rights again at this point tho. But it would definitely make a good stage SZ imo.

Problem is if you use any sort of sound clips from the film, you're going to get the callbacks from the fans. (I'm not even much of a fan, I hear "Brad Majors" I'm screaming an expletive like Pavlov's dog). The callbacks--which have some how gotten dirtier since the late 80s/90s--seemed to be one of the main issues that doomed the live show.

Also you're going to get way to many fans doing The Time Warp in the middle of the street which is not going to help guest flow.

If they do Rocky Horror Picture I think they will bring the show back. Plus it’s an easy way to disperse crowds. It use to be in the Beetlejuice venue during HHN so not quite sure where they could place it.

Actually, it's through Spyglass. There's still a slight Disney connection, but it shouldn't keep it from being licensed if they can work everything else out.

Really? I was listening to a podcast with Rose McGowan and she said it’s being done through Miramax, which is why she won’t return.

Edit: Found the Deadline article confirming it’s Spyglass. Maybe I misheard her comments and she said it’s being done with people from Miramax.

I gotta say, this is my favorite forum moment since the guy that insisted a wooden coaster was replacing KidZone.

I think the app experience, if it comes, could be a REALLY cool way to experience the event. Although, I imagine having Express would probably lessen how much you actually use it. If they pull it off though, it'd be a major Rocky moment.

It's also possible that she wasn't asked to come back...or she's a bit crazy...or both.

What he said. @Sanjay, one more time. Choice A or B.

Can I make a suggestion?

I can’t imagine having an app basically controlling my night. The reason I say that is because if Universal’s app is already glitchy at times, imagine during HHN?

Yeah I've got to agree with you on that. As much as I love the app, it can be very broken at times. I had to wait like 2 hours once because the app didn't register that I had ordered food. Im not sure Universal's servers could handle the amount of people coming to HHN. mostly likely the servers would crash a lot.

I'm hoping if you get Express, you won't have to use it. LOL.

For people who plan Disney trips, living by an app is already the name of the game.

I'm curious how reduced capacity the park will be or what they will to to increase capacity. For the diehards like us, we'll go in some form or fashion but not everyone is going to make the trek. Hopefully with lower attendance and everyone being forced to use the app, the servers will hold steady and stays solid once people book this house order or however it will work.

Assuming this is using similar tech based off its virtual line system for the ride and Volcano Bay, you'll probably get a barcode or QR code to validate your reservation to be let into the queue and if it works like Fast and Furious or Jimmy Fallon, I'd take a screenshot on my phone as soon as it appears on my phone so I have a record of it in case the app crashes while pulling it up again.

this is unrelated, but I like your profile picture.

 

[Living Dead Dude]

YES I TOO BELIEVE THAT METALLICA WILL COME TO HHN THIS YEAR /s

Atleast Metallica was speculated for Hollywood last year

I am very curious to see how the crowds will look as well. With 26 being my first time at HHN/Universal, I'd like to experience a relatively low-crowd HHN.

I was actually talking about that with a buddy of mine the other day. Seems like taking a screenshot would be smart just incase the app crashes.

So QR codes don’t work as screenshots. That’s why if you have a digital ticket for HhN or universal, they want you to have it open on the original email.

I’m going to do the wise decision and take choice a. I won’t bring up iron maiden in this specific thread anymore. I’m not even lying the @Gary lazereyes isn’t mine it’s my brothers .

 

[00_Themeparkfan_00]

Regarding a Gremlins scarezone, I feel like scarezones this year will be drastically different. But relating to that specific scarezone.. Oh Boy, theres alot they can do with Gremlins. They can have puppeteers controlling them and maybe play out different scenes from both movies on stage. Thats just my idea.

Yeah ok, I knew that you'd pull the "that's my brothers account." Don't lie, you even look more guilty man. I don't think your choice matters if you don't fess up about your alt.

Good choice bro

I'm very interested in seeing how many scareactors they actually plan on hiring this year. People I know who have been working for years are getting worried more than they normally do with this audition cycle.
