Nah, I think Hollywood has the same commercial because they have the same tagline this year. Orlando is probably going to get a brand new commercial.

So, 5 Scarezone have been announced--however, IIRC, there were 9 "ice cream flavors" on the casting list. Also very early rumors suggested a mix of SZs and hordes. Any chance we might get 4 hordes (IP or non-IP) roaming the park as an unannounced surprise?

Some of the zones are unlisted and one of the zones will roam....kinda.

I'm guessing the zone that will roam is zombies in The Woodlands and they will roam into the camp because they are so close to each other.

Intriguing ... are the unlisted themed to Walking Dead?

I have a strong feeling that's not it. Look towards the beginning of the speculation for more.

Is anyone else surprised that Shrek 4D will be open? Universal realizes that the Shrek 4D crowd and the HHN crowd don't overlap right? haha.

Why not the HORROR make-up show? or even ET?

We discussed that a few pages back, we believe the reason is simply because Shrek takes way less workforce to run than E.T.

But a Horror Nights edition of HMUS would be amazing, I have to admit.

Like Cupcakes said, ET and Horror Make-up are more expensive to operate than Shrek 4-D. There was also a discussion about the cluster**** that would be the ET entrance considering the Walking Dead will start its queue line up there.

But I disagree that the HHN audience and Shrek audience don't mix. We are a poor sample to gauge the general opinion of Shrek. It still gets great numbers. And it's a relaxing/refreshing change of pace for tired/worn out visitors. Not to mention alcohol goes with HHN, and alcohol and Shrek seem like a no-brainer.

Also, I've heard that they are trying to push sales for Shrek merchandise, and with inventory having just been done, they may have a bunch of leftover Shrek stuff they want to sell, which is best done by pushing people out the Shrek door and into the gift shop---that's just a guess though.

I think another reason is that they're simply trying to increase capacity for HHN, and Shrek's really the only thing there that they can open. As explained here before, Twister's queue is used for house queues, so no go there, Disaster would also be a no presumably because the off TV screens makes it a bit awkward, and E.T. can't be used for a multitude of reasons.

Oooohhhh I wonder what other hoardes will be roaming. Were they there last year?

They were, and I am both happy and surprised to see the chainsaws back this year. I guess the streets won't be all-Walking Dead after all, unless they're going to tie them in some how.

Chainsaws are not allowed anywhere near TWD for obvious reasons.

 

[USO92]

I would imagine these extra hoardes will be used in the "Dead" spaces between the walking dead scarezones

I have to agree with this. The 20-somethings who make up the target HHN audience grew up with the movies--I think it was Star Wars Weekends, but I remember being out this year and vaguely shocked that college-age kids sing along to "All Star" like my generation sang along to Bon Jovi. (Goes without saying, Bon Jovi > at least 100 other bands > Smash Mouth) If playing on Gen Y nostalgia can get a thousand or so bodies an hour off the street, more power to them. Even if I'd rather have Horror & Make Up.

Shrek has been taken off the map and the HHN website. Kang and Kodos will be open though.

 

[USO92]

Where do you see the map???

It came out in a team member booklet.
