    HHN 31: Universal Monsters: Legends Collide

    This was far and away my favorite of the event. Scary every time I went through. I was getting a little tired of classic monsters (altho bride of Frankenstein was surprisingly intense) . And this reminded me why the classics are classics. This house was in your face, claustrophobic, intense...

    HHN 31: Spirits of the Coven

    I went last weekend and I enjoyed the event as a whole. I feel like the length of this house is a big plus but I see so many opportunities for the back half to become a scarecrow style assault. I don’t mind repetitive costuming or scenes but they really could have made this a sensory overload...

    HHN 31 Construction Thread

    I’m sure the budget gets more obscene (in the best way) every year, but I am honestly impressed with the quantity of large props this year. Maybe it’s because they’re more traditional Halloween themes it feels more filled in? Or for the boots on the ground is it as zhuzhed as it looks ? I...

    Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind - General Discussion

    I know it’s not going to be completely immersive like Everest but I am very curious about the depth of field provided by the wrap around screens. Is it convincing-ish or more abstracted like ghost galaxy / SM Star Wars overlay? I’m not a skeptical either way. Despite Disney’s recent missteps...

    Halloween Horror Nights 30 (UOR) - News & Info (2021)

    I've noticed quite a few spelling errors in the HHN part of the app too. The editors must still be on furlough! Or they outsource it. Meant to add* my crew usually does Finnegan's S&S and have generally been able to hit all but 1 or 2 houses within 3 hours. Then we slow down and enjoy shows and...

    HHN 30: Most Anticipated House

    This is probably the most blind I've been heading in to an HHN that I'll be personally attending. I didn't even realize the one I'm most anticipating is in Shrek Theater! 1. Legendary Truth --- because I literally cannot picture what we're getting with this. First it was my most anticipated...

    Universal Studios Beijing (Now Open)

    I have to say, the Jurassic World ride looks incredible. The Indo chase makes it for me. The chase portion of Dinosaur at AK still activates my lizard brain and causes a momentary panic so I can't imagine how cool/scary this chase would be. Also the way newer attractions have been creating safe...

    Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind - General Discussion

    I've been off the boards for a while but after seeing the 2023 thing, I had to come see what people were thinking about all this. I'm not a 'Universal is best' guy. Nor do I have any hate for Disney, but this construction timeline is ridiculous. It is almost self parody at this point. Disney is...

    The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

    I’m not dogging tent houses. They’ve had some of my favorite houses of the past few years, but they have limitations, MIB seemingly moreso than the sprungs. So..based on the speculation, if the anniversary house is in MIB tent you can rule out some scenes and definitely rule out a mega house...

    The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

    Playing catch-up as I’ve been trying to not get my hopes up or pre FOMO-FOMO but an anniversary house in MIB tent? Yikes.. not that the houses are bad, I quite enjoyed Corpses, but space? Won’t be quite the epic that 25 was.

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

    Very cool ! Thank you for the info. So amazing how they’ve used a bunch of their tricks and combined them so seemlessly.

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

    I’m not sure if this is the right place for this question, but regardless I think this will be relatively spoiler free.. Is the squinching effect as impressive as it appears? I just can’t get over the windows and how much “depth” they get. Does anyone have a guess at how far away the screens...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

    Wel I mean more that if they had just announced they were both opening in January initially they would have all the leg room needed. The December opening date wasn’t pulled out of thin air so they must have felt that was ample time to correct issues. I’m sure they don’t mind delays on opening...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

    Maybe I’m being naive but if they were really having this many technical issues wouldn’t they have soft opened and pushed the grand opening date back? I mean I know they delayed it already but they could have just opened both coasts in January together and we’d never know the difference...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

    I’m impressed by what I’ve been seeing and heard so far. Anyone know how effective the screens are at establishing depth of field ? I know they probably squinch on the ride but the hangar seems like it’d be a bit trickier. I suppose if the Star field is always moving it will be pretty effective...

    The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

    I mean I don’t necessarily want to see Saw at HHN 30 but it certainly has a bigger pull than some of the cult classics they’ve used the last couple of years a la Trick r Treat, House of 1000, Klowns. Having an easy IP for them to get lined up with a film release would at least make it likely it...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DL)

    I’ve heard so many different things about this ride- 1)vehicles Chinese 2)floor being ripped out 3)vehicles unable to meet ADA code in Cali 4)issues with vehicle locking in drop track leading to a completely shredded RV. Idk what to believe any more about this thing.

    HHN 29: Halloween Marathon of Mayhem

    Yeah they probably treat it like a firework show. It’s an event summary and it’s probably pretty expensive. Plus the event is still ramping up before 9 so people aren’t ready to stop and watch something when they haven’t been through any houses.

    HHN 29: Halloween Marathon of Mayhem

    Maybe instead of pulling crowds it’s more like “hey we know between 9pm-12am the lines are outrageous and the streets are packed, so here is something to do”? Even if it’s not a people eater, I think it really fills out the event and brings the lagoon in as part of the experience rather than the...

    Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

    I don’t care if the second show is just them previewing Christmas Merch, anything to pull the crowds off the streets.
