I don't think it'd be terribly farfetched.
Same person also claimed in that same post that Hide N Seek could go away if a "BIG IP" ended up happening.
Here’s the dealie. Because I’m kinda in a “burn it down” mentality with regards to spec right now.I don't think it'd be terribly farfetched.

I think the “big IP” (house-wise) that keeps getting mentioned is Ghostbusters. When I was told the tentpole IP for the event was “bigger than Stranger Things,” my thoughts went bigger IPs to me. If I think about it from Universal’s perspective, Ghostbusters would be bigger than Stranger Things. Especially from a bunch of haunt designers in their late-thirties/forties.
Because we expect it, because most of us are a bit younger, because most HHN are horror fans, Ghostbusters doesn’t feel big. To us. But it is. It has a history at Universal, and is still widely loved. I can see Universal thinking it’s huge.
The rumor of a “big IP” has persisted. But nothing bigger than Ghostbusters (or arguably Universal Monsters) has been float or hinted at.
What is THAT big ip?If it’s THAT “BIG IP” I wonder how hard Universal is working to get it. It would be a great addition and it would bring a lot of crowds, but it’s rights are bound to expensive. Hopefully they get it

There were two house rumors that have lingered for months: a big IP and Ghostbusters. Both came out about the same time (before WB announced Horror Comes Home was off this year). Ghostbusters maybe a couple weeks earlier. The "big IP" discussion has always been phrased as a "headliner," and that's pretty much been it. (Well, and that there are legal concerns that may cause them to lose it, in relation to a new movie). Everyone assumes they're mutually exclusive - but no has (or can) confirm they are.My counterpoint is that said person also has seen and is supporting the spec map. And if they supposedly “know” stuff, they would know that Ghostbusters is already in.
I don’t know how much this person’s stuff actually is accurate, could very well be none.
I saw Ghostbusters for the first time last year and I wasn't particularly smitten with it. I know lots of folks around my age are huge fans, but I think this is the kind of movie you have to experience during the 80s or 90s. Watching now for the first time was a pretty lackluster experience. I still think it would be a fun house... but I could be biased, but I can't fathom this would have half the pull of Stranger Things.
I think you're confusing the situation. Ghostbusters is sealed, supposedly. It was never in the running to replace Hide & Seek.Let's assume the big IP is ghostbusters, this individual mentioned if they got this IP it would replace "Hide & Seek"... so then what would that mean for the 10th house?
I really think you're an anomaly, being that you're in your mid-thirties and haven't seen Ghostbusters until last year. I'm the same age and grew up watching both the movies and the Saturday morning cartoon. It's a bit of an evergreen franchise. I can see it being a draw.I saw Ghostbusters for the first time last year and I wasn't particularly smitten with it.

Then, the goofier sequel and long-running cartoon with its multiple product tie-ins
