But then again it's a theater, you can't take out the million dollar seats lolThere really isn't any theming in the theater, and the queue doesn't have much either

I think the main thing to remember is Shrek is able to stay open while this is all going on. With the two pre show rooms, two theaters and separate entrance / exit this bad boy could be easily constructed with little impact on the actual attraction. I mean its the best of both worlds operations is happy cause the attraction remains open and a second theater isn't needed even during the busiest of days and Entertainment is happy cause they get to build a house in a new location with no interference from other projects. Win win!!
I wouldn't be surprised if the Shrek seats are able to be easily removed in sections for refurbs/repairs..
If all the seats are taken out that would leave a ton of space to work with..There is also a pretty high ceiling in the theater which would provide some unique effect opportunities..
For Shrek couldn't they use the side entrance near the Brown Derby smoking area? They have some big double gates there that could probably be easily opened and provide a decent sized entrance and exit, bonus points it could potentially enter and exit through 1 or 2 scarezones.
can somebody actually compare the space of the theater? Just trying to rap my mind around how big of a house can we expect in there. And i would assume they would use the preshow room as part of the house as well??
I'm concerned about the house size as well. But more importantly than that, I can't begin to imagine just how many people there are going to be in the Plaza of the Stars area in general. On busy nights that area is packed shoulder to shoulder almost non-stop. Now they want to add another house right in the middle of it. Just imagine some of the largest lines you've seen, now take all those people and place them in an area that is already packed and what do you get? I'd also like to know how this influx of people is going to affect the scare zone that is generally placed there.
Even if they direct the foot traffic in the best way possible, I'm still feeling skeptical about overcrowding.
There had to be a better place toward the back of the park that could have been used. There is a whole area back there that hasn't had any HHN attention since the Jaws ride got demolished. That was a sad day.
So, I guess you are saying that Mike Aiello and his design team aren't very smart and haven't thought this through very well. And I guess you are also saying that you know the measurements inside the theater and that it will in no way be enough room for a decent house...
That sounds like what you are saying... which I guess is ok...
Proof will be in the pudding... right?
I was not concerned about the size I was just curious what the actual size of the theater is.... More interested in the logistics of putting the actual house in there.... Tent houses have alwsys intrigued me by how much they can put in there and then be able to put some of the best houses I ever been in... So as for the shrek theater I just wanted specs and what you guys thought would be the set up of the actual house inside the theater

And also anybody got detail why the mib got cut? Always thought that would be plenty big enough. Heck knock everything down back there and u have even more room.. I don't think I've seen them use that extended queue in years.... Also why not just put up a third and even a fourth tent? Isn't there plenty of room behind mib in the back corner for a tent?
A third tent was the plan for a while but got scrapped not too long ago.
I would guess it was a cost decision. Those tents are pretty expensive especially compared to using something they already have.
While I don't the costs involved with a tent, I do know that Shrek gave them pause due to the expense of covering (understatement) the chair plates. It all comes out of the HHN budget as I understand it.
