HHN Hollywood General Discussion - 2017

[Spookies n' Stuff]

Aight folks, think ive guessed the solution to the big attendance debate. Average attendance has I think been around 15k or so and the peak this year is about 27k

 

[foodstampsFTW]

I kind of don’t want this to be Murdys last year though, considering this is not a good year to go out on

He's done every property he's wanted to do other than: The Munchies, Dr. Laughing Gas and Evil Dead.

 

[MacMillian Crew]

He also once mentioned one of his biggest music maze dreams was to do Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Saw that concert when I was little and HOLY POOP THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. When did he mention this?

If it had that many guests it'd be ahead of Epcot in the theme park rankings. We can all agree there's not 45k in USH on any sort of regular basis.

And on a similar note, Epcot can sustain 80k guests, 120k is every possible venue is open, every bypass path, every everything. It only goes to around 90k, once a year, before they shut it down (That's NYE.)

15-20's, with a peak day around 25 or maybe even 27km is entirely in line for USH attendance.

Once again epycolopedia you misinterpret what I said completely and randomly start talking about Florida parks which has no relevance to the discussion.

A standard PEAK day at USH without the added footprint of the backlot is 35,000 - 38,000, it hits these numbers regularly over the summer and winter months, and again, it DOES hit these numbers regularly. When the park sells out during NYE and the late holidays, it DOES hit over 40,000 guests (usually once or twice during those weeks). As a matter of fact it broke the attendance record twice this year. It's like being in a sardine can and would never recommend going on those days but it does happen.

Have you suddenly forgotten that they close WWOHP during the event, close off 3 of the rides, two of the shows, part of the park, etc? They cap the event and call it full at 20,000.

Did you suddenly forgotten that the added footprint of the backlot area, and its oversized switchbacks makes up for the lost queue capacity from the closed down attractions. Why would they cap it any less than 35k? There's no logic there.

I think this was briefly mentioned during the summer before either HHN 2014 or 2015 during a Q & A about what properties were a dream for him to do one day.

 

[k_peek_2000]

Fake attendance number debate aside. I think Murdy was exactly the thing HHN needed to become the event it needed to be and he was more than successful at doing it. But new blood is what the park needs to stay fresh and on top of things.

 

[ush.hacker]

HHN isn't going and doesn't get upwards of 38,000 people because the people that the audience attracts doesn't those numbers and especially not during a nighttime activity.

I am leaving this debate and Jonathan if you read this can you please settle this debate on how many people can be allowed into park. Thank you!

New blood could lead to a possibility of more original mazes and pursuing IPs that Murdy was holding off on. Yet, I feel that the higher ups might be cautious the first year with the new person, in that they may try to rely on too many reused IPs like this year. Either way, I'm just happy I was able to meet Murdy this year at the event, if this is his final year.

 

[ush.hacker]

Maybe we'll finally be seeing Universal Classic Monsters.

As I said, which is why I would think they would bring someone from the Orlando team, someone who has had a good past, and to tackle the event with new perspectives that are similar enough to Orlando, but different to give more leeway to possibilities.

I do think this means the amount of exclusive IP's are going to go down by 0, but if that means we get some original content; it may be what the event needs for the west.

Okay THAT would be an awesome house. If they did another Music IP, I would love to see that.

 

[Spookies n' Stuff]

I wouldn't hold your breath on it being Murdy thats leaving.

 

[Viator]

Wait, so Murdy isn't leaving? Then the only other individual I would think would be leaving, is Chris.

 

[MacMillian Crew]

Imagine the reaction if it was just Murdy announcing the Jabbawockeez leaving HHN Hollywood

 

[ush.hacker]

"HHN Hollywood is being discontinued!"

 

[foodstampsFTW]

I was gonna make that joke earlier, should’ve done it then

 

[Horror Lover]

I kinda hope Murdy gets one last year to do Universal Classic Monsters but if this is it, I'll miss him for sure

To be fair he had his chance several times and he blew it. Why do This is the End? Why do Blumhouse? Why do Alice Cooper? Why do El Cucuy? Why do Titans? While some of those were good houses, I’m saying Murdy could’ve prioritized Monsters over those ideas if he really wanted to do it. It’s not like he was told to do those houses.

Wait....he could’ve done a Monsters house but instead decided to do a maze with James Franco and Seth Rogan...think about that.
