The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

[ModDesigner23]

I’m honestly surprised that ANY non-Universal IP is okay with being a part of this event. Like, is Eilish okay with her name all over something that will get criticized to hell by the media?

I’ve seen a couple interviews with her and going off her persona.... nahhhh lol. She has a very chill approach to things so I think she could careless what the media has to say. But who knows, I could be wrong.

Media can say anything they want and the millions of teenage followers she has will not care a bit about what the media says

And if that were to happen and those teenagers started to become super spreaders (theoretically speaking) for COVID, she will care. She is a very socially active person and to me, being involved in an event like this during a pandemic seems to go against her core morals, but this is getting too much into wild speculation to further continue this discussion.

I simply brought it up because I think any brand is going to think long and hard before saying yes to being associated with this event this year.

Halloween Horror Nights 30 Tribute Store Reportedly Opening in Phases Starting This Friday at Universal Studios Florida - WDW News Today

A daily-updated resource for news and information on the Disney resort around the world.

It says the tribute store would reopen in phases, slowly revealing the events theme and house/zone lineup. Has there been any talk of these from TM’s or is wdw news just spitting things out?

Someone on this forum said those exact words a couple days ago

Remember that we do have a dedicated Tribute Store thread.

2020 Halloween Tribute Store

Gonna love it if this year's big accidental leak is someone putting out the house shirt or a coffee mug or something in the store before it's supposed to be there. Hoping for some great shirts for the Brides, Billie and Hill House. If I get even one of those three I'll be happy. I’m honestly...

Actually, this would be a really clever way to get announcements about the event out to the fan community while avoiding the attention from a skeptical national media that a series of traditional announcements would bring.

 

[Haunts27]

Tomorrow is starting to seem like we will get a full yes or a full no as to the event taking place this year. Keep eyes open all day tomorrow! The announcement we’ve all been waiting for could be a day away now!

 

[Clive]

(Nothing is guaranteed and we have to stop assuming things are!)

 

[Haunts27]

Agreed, just hearing from multiple people around about something possibly being put out tomorrow. But at the end of the day, nothing means anything until horror nights says something and puts something out there officially. Just like the talk about “today’s announcement”, or weeks ago or tomorrow.. talk is talk and can only be proven or factual when announced.

Considering the fact that this information is coming from the same person that claimed HHN30 would get cancelled a few weeks ago, y'all should take this information with a MASSIVE grain of salt.

 

[Legacy]

Y’all acting Universal needs an event to sell merch.

They can have the Tribute store open even if the event gets canceled.

 

[BoSoxFan1022]

The merch would make 0 sense, and I think they’d have a lot of angry customers

Yep, until I'm walking through the gates and queuing for a haunted house it's not official

And then next year would still be HHN 30! Milk it all over again!

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

The numbers have dropped; not significantly, but they've dropped the past couple of days.

Last I checked, FL's r0 was .99. The graph looks kinda like Ripsaw Falls.

Face Mask GIF - Face Mask Guns - Discover & Share GIFs : me after HHN30 opening week.

 

[Ringwraith]

Always remember, theme parks are also notorious for refurbishing attractions right before they can them or change them to something else. So work on the houses could be a mask, so the employees don't think anything is different, or it could be they're legit working.

Both end results are plausible with the same current action.

 

[BoSoxFan1022]

Things seem to be pointing to a cancellation imo

 

[Scarematt32]

Is there anything new and solid that suggests the event is being cancelled? Did something switch in the last two days? Again this is a fluid year, and can it be cancelled, of course. I just don’t understand how we went from oh my gosh an announcement is coming, and yes I was a part of that crowd, ha, to oh my gosh its getting cancelled in one night. I’m so sick of the twitter crap that’s getting spread around. It’s out of hand this year.
