But that was all speculation at that point. Many other ideas were floating around that turned out to be false.

I agree, the silence is nice. I like the fact that we just know the basic jist of what the theme is going to be and that the rest is up to us to come up with.
I am more of a fan of a big reveal as long as it is a good event and a decent website. I admit I did not like last yea'rs website. It was a pretty dull one compared to what they were doing. I don't need tons of puzzles games and interactivity but I like one that sets the mood. 14 is a good example of that. Eerie sounds different themed pages with a few click-ables. I enjoy the sensory overload of a big reveal. It seems we are definitely getting a good theme to work with instead of a best of year so that is all I need to know to be happy about this event.
Really? I thought 19 had a pretty good reveal pace too and interactive set up. A restoration of a theater that Universal owned that enver actually existed. Some of the history they rewrote for that was fantastic. And then you had the model theater with clickables and then some actual house pages with details. The problem there was it was a tad sloppy and slow to load/run on any computer and connection I ever tried.
Prices are up for the frequent fear with express and the other multi day prices. I think it is only on the Passholder page though.
Loved the sites of 19 and 18. Which was the one that had the minigames?
My favorite type of site is the one with creepy music, creepy sound effects, and hints at what's to come. I loved 20's site after they revealed all the scarezones and houses.

Checked all the pages and none of them are up... can we get a screengrab?
EDIT: FYI you have to click "BUY NOW" to see the full list of prices. I'm very pleased - they decided to LOWER prices for the FFP/FFPP + Express - and the Rush of Fear w/ Express is an incredibly juicy price!

Yep they really know how to devalue a ticket, it will be interesting to see how long the express lines get.

This is my main concern, but given the events past express will be an average of 30 mins before you know it.
Personally I like a bit of build up on the site. Last year just throwing it all out suddenly was very anticlimactic. 18 was the best with the large build-up to the final reveal which was awesome. This is why just putting out Thing seems really odd. While I do like information, I want some kind of cennection to the event that works with the icon. Even 20 had a better house reveal. This however will not deter my excitement for The Thing house. The original film was amazing, and I can only hope that Universal will create a tie-in house as good as Wolfman, the best house of 19 by far.
What if Lucy was actually located at the intersection of Production Central and Hollywood Blvd and a sort of choose your fate deal is set up. Wouldn't it be awesome if they had something like this, with the Icon in the middle taunting you at what choice to make and at the other side of either entrance is a group of scareactors waiting for you?

That looks fantastic actually. The only issue i foresee is assembling/disassembling that everyday, because you can't have the general daytime public walking through that all day long with no one around to keep them from messing with the hanging plastic.
What I'm really wondering is when universal will start to use fog screens through out the haunts. I just feel like they have the potential to do some really cool effects with them. I half expected them to use them in Legendary Truth last year.
Oh and on a side note theres a really funky mess of tubing an wiring coming out of the Jaws que near where the fire effect was last year.

It actually seems to work really well with pirates being big gamblers. Tortuga should look really great to walk through and I hope that they have a pirate's cave like at the begining of Pirates of the Caribbean.
If it really is the case that we are getting a Tortuga house complete with pirates, wenches:drool5:, and spanish gambling, this should be an interesting house HOPEFULLY with a lot of easter eggs and maybe a Jack Sparrow reference or PoTC reference too 
Scenes I could imagine:
A wench auction - female scareactors barely dressed, weeping would randonly scream out and reach out at guests to AYUDAME POR FAVOR (help me please), meanwhile the auctioneer is screaming at the guests to who wants to bid and whipping the women as well.
A bar fight scene - SAs coming after you
A jail or dungeon - complete with rotting skeletons and prisoners, maybe a dog with keys
Another question, so if Jaws is the only place for chainsaws this year, does that mean we won't have a CS zone this year? And the CDT won't be there either?

God I hope so! I know people like the chain saws but I find them absolutely annoying, tiresome, and cliche.
Really? I love them, not because I get scared, because you always hear a squel coming from these tweens that show up at the event thinking they won't get scared
