Makes sense. Looking at the 2004 map it seems like guests would go under the canopy between SS 21 and BMG/SS19. With Rockit’s supports of course it looks like it’d be tricky.
Which parts would be closed, you're asking?Which parts of each park would be closed... I mean it's nice to have more space and spread out the crowd, but damn that would be an awful lot of walking.
They scrapped it because of needed coverage by Operations. The house locations were accounted for.^It would make sense for them to scrap that plan since the sprung tents would not have been utilized. I would think they (again) wouldn't go with it if they couldn't include using them.
Then again, they could just move whatever they have stored in the Carnage Warehouse to them.

Opening Hulk would be viable. The main thing is not letting crowds get too far in to Marvel as an island. It would actually a better option than Hogsmeade opening because 1) There’s a house location that would queue nearby and 2) There’s enough space in the Hulk courtyard for people to turn around at the dead end (and with enough light for it to be obvious). Hogsmeade opening would be a nightmare.Which mind you is 50% of the rides that was typically open in a Studios install...
Maybe you have Hogsmeade open (the way Diagon is) and find a way to get Hulk open.
If I were to design a Rick and Morty house, it would have to be an original use of the IP. Say a "lost episode" type story. A preshow where rick and Morty tell you they need you to get something from another dimension. You go through a portal (I would use the spinning tunnel) and then you enter an alien world where the aliens are trying to kill you. That's my take on it. I'm a huge fan of the show and I'd die if it came in any way shape or form.I'm confused by people saying Rick and Morty... it's animated. And it's got a style that's very hard to pull off in reality (the Rick in Bill & Ted did not look great), and would be a mediocre house. It's just something that wouldn't translate. Now, granted, if they found a way to use R&M in a parody show I'd be interested but let's save those discussions for HHN 29.
I think a R&M parody show similar to B&T would work great, but the rights to that would be way more than B&T ever were and Universal didn't even want to pay for those. Plus there's really nowhere for them to perform next year. Maybe in T2 theatre once that reopens (that wouldn't be until 29 though)?All I care about is Stranger Things. It is iffy due to Stephen King and using the Kubrick Shining this year, but if both happen PLUS AHS... well, this is not a good year to have just lost B&T.

That’s why it wasn’t used in 2012. But if four house locations are down in the Studios (MiB, Parade, and Sprungs), then it would be worth the hassle.From an operations stand point, closing 2 parks for an event and only use 1/2 the park isn't worth the hassle.
Someone pointed this out in the Hollywood thread. Universal better thank their lucky stars this isn't in the United States. This looks like serious competition. I wonder if there's a kind of mutual relationship between universal and them. "We can use your property if we let you use these properties" kind of deal.
