I hope so. That would up capacity so much and give them more money to work with for the event. Not to mention it would be awesome to finally see a Dementor scarezone. IF they do this, they're definitely adding more nights. You realize how many people are disappointed that Potter is closed during HHN? This will bring in the crowds.This is an old thought. But are there any rumors for the wizarding world finally opening up for hhn. Maybe as a scarezone. Jk rowling allows diagon alley to be open for hhn in orlando. So why not hollywood.
I highly doubt it'd make that big of a splash to add more nights. The attraction opening in general didn't even have the impact they thought it would. Sure it was packed and broke records, but it cooled down very fast. It was doing maybe only an hour line or so by the end of it's first six months and it'd be a walk on if the park was open passed 6 PM. I feel like they built that giant parking structure for a whole lot of nothing. JW will be very fresh and new in 2019 so it'll stay the same, but it's very possible come 2020 it'll be back to its usual line and that overflow may open back up for maze use. Who knows, the ride may even be closed just to urge people to buy a day & night pass, that way they can steal more money AND use it as an extra spot for a maze next year. A good trade off would be to have HP open until at least 11 or 12. We don't need the Dementors and all that, just have it open so people have more places to go instead of packing in the lines!
And I know it means very little, but on the tickets page for HHN when it says "will return Fall 2019" it says "The thrills continue with our exclusive Terror Tram experience on the Universal Backlot..." I think that shows they have high stock in this attraction and that it's not going anywhere, even if it's a standard copy-paste page they had ready for every year, they still listed that first and foremost. I know it tests really high for tourists who are coming from out of town and have never been to Hollywood before. In a way, it's HHN's version of the Studio Tour, for guests to see some really famous movie sets, and without the Studio Tour, Universal is essentially nothing. At the end of the day, it's the tourist HHN will cater to, because those are the ones who will spend the most money on tickets, merchandise, and food. Their satisfaction is key. When locals completely deplete (and it looks like it's still just getting more popular due to Stranger Things), maybe then they will think about changing it up.
Speaking of Stranger Things, did anyone happen to get a video of the lights on tour?! I feel like that just went over our heads on the forum.
I saw one video that was vertical, choppy, and the description was in Spanish. So I had hope there would be more out therePhotos or videos weren’t allowed on the lights on tour.
I agree about the particle effects, I think it was more just trying something new and failing than being concerned with budget.I try not to give Murdy and co too much of a hard time for the upside down (just like I don't give them too hard a time over TiTE). They thought of the snow machine, they wanted to try something different with the cotton balls, it didn't work out. It be like that sometimes.
WRT Overlord, yeah there are nazis and guns, but they could always go with the Wolfenstein-in-Germany solution of just removing all the insignia and not explicitly calling them Nazis (I think that's what they did with American Werewolf?). I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm sure there are ways of painting around the gun problem (maybe just don't have actors using them, have them only be a lighting effect, like muzzle flashes and smoke, without actually *showing* them being fired, just straight up not have any guns, etc.)
Biggest problem I can see is whether anyone will remember Overlord in a year or two. Krampus and Dracula Untold got away with it by being an advertisement house; 2020 feels about right.
I'm surprised no one's brought up the possibility of Child's Play coming...

With the remake being done by MGM maybe they could get a double deal with Chucky and Hellraiser?
