I wish they'd do a Treehouse of Horrors overlay on the Simpsons ride and just play it throughout the day over the season.

This is ultimately what Id want, but thats a lot of $ id think to do.
That was basically the reason given for why it probably wouldn't happen. It'd be a lot of money for a temporary thing, even if it was a yearly thing.
And also they gotta get the voice actors in to record new lines yadda yadda. Lot of hassle.

Plus, possibly change the ride itself. Since its mashed up with the current video and audio, it'd have to be re-worked a lot.

Yeah, it's a pretty significant outlay, even for something yearly. That's not even taking into account the fact that there's new wrinkles with the Simpsons contract with Disney/Fox now.

The ride was written during the writers strike if I remember correctly so it’s more time than anything. Universal has tried before.

It could go two ways
They could create realistic foam costumes to look like springfield characters, but not sure how boo holes would work. ( or it could be just a scarezone)
Or
They could paint the actors sk8n yellow like the cartoons but that could look funky.
I just wish they at least added halloween elements to the existing ride. Have everything the same, but have the krusky park and attractions having halloween decorations or replace some of the rides they go through with halloween rides. Like bart and lisa crashing through a halloween theme "its a small world " etc

I’ve always thought a new simpsons cartoon, Halloween/horror themed, even if it goes with the exact same mechanics and movement of the current ride, would be a fun people eater during HHN. And you would only run it during HHN, ensuring that people interested would ride during the event, not during the day.
I mean it’s not going to happen and pretty off topic but what else do we have 
It’s still two theatres right? If the issue is it being complicated, convert one for night and one for day.
Shrek loses a theatre for HHN I’m sure Simpsons could.

Not going to happen. They won’t take the time and money to make a ride that’s only open for HHN that will make no profit in return.
Shouldn't we be getting a full reveal soon? The event is almost a month away.
Good. It feels like they've been severely behind on announcements this year. Especially with the event starting earlier than usual.

The only announcement that I need to hear is "LENGTH OF EVENT FREESTYLE CUPS ARE COMING BACK."

Your last point is valid, but we have seven houses announced! Compare that to just four with this many days to go two years ago.
They usually have everything announced three weeks before the event opens, and that mark is next week. Chances are there's gonna' be a announcement or two this week, and whatever's left will be announced rapid-fire next week to finish it off like last year.
Do we think they’ll do a livestream conference like they did last year to talk about everything coming and maybe announce one or two things? That’d be a good way to announce Ghost in the Graveyard.
