I really miss an Icon. This year marketing marketed the hell out of TWD (obviously). It almost felt like the theme this year was TWD.
The surveys say it was, so as far as marketing is concerned it was.

And you can not convince me that the passes do not effect lines or crowds. Its my opinion and until I hear it from Uni themselves (and even then...) I will stick to my guns.
Clearly they do. But the one event to sell out was a day blacked out for FF and ROF passes. Also, it's hardly the first year for FFPs, yet crowds were noticably worse this year than ever before. So there were other factors at play.
I would be curious to hear what percentage of HHN guests use a multiday pass on any given night.
Why encourage people to get the FFP?
Universal knows people who get the FFP will be going to the event more; aka spending more money at the park.
You guys can all talk sh!t about marketing at this event, but this is the first time the event has sold out since 2006.
IMHO they really didn't have to do any marketing, the Silent Hill and ESPECIALLY Walking Dead did the advertising for them...what I think most marketing that people are complaining about is the lack of a lead up in the website, and they've resorted to leaking a picture on facebook with some cheesy line of a teaser, instead of the beautiful website and puzzles, and racking our brains to figure stuff out. Half the fun was connecting the dots of rumor to fact, now the lead up is just not as fun anymore as it used to be.
Personally, I think they should do a sequel to the Walking Dead but put in a SS, and theme it to the prison, because this season is absolutely insane.
I legit think this is a definite. Given the success for both parties, why wouldn't they.
I'd love to see actual set scarezones back with roaming actors in the dead areas. Would be perfect.
Does anyone else also think if we have limited space around the rest of the park it could be possible that we see 5 sound stages? They didn't use the typical SS' this year. The only problem would be the queues. Unless they use and empty SS like they did at HHN18. They can't roll with 7 houses again and all the construction and keep IP's. It's just too much.
Oh and I felt every bit of those crowds in my feet lol :rofl: plus the fact that.there was no HHN merch left on Nov. 1st except for some of the.boddice shirts that Cybergear had.
