….. and cue the annual FFP gnashing of teeth. Action!
If there even is a next one. The event is so close that announcements are going to have to start being a heck of a lot more frequent, meaning there’s almost no reason for another map.Just want to add this here because I’ve seen a lot of people talking about a house being a witch based house or a Salem house. It’s neither, it’s more of a cult based house who practices human sacrifice. It’s more along the lines of Midsommer than anything witch based.
Also for the house that seems to be Bigfoot on the spec map there seems to be two competing rumors. There are Bigfoot rumors and there are still some holiday/Krampus based house rumors. I still believe the yeti/Bigfoot rumors because I’ve heard it more recently but I would not be surprised if the house does indeed change on the next spec map.
…….Mary Poppins house confirmed?!Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
So we have three shared IPs left to be announced: Stranger Things, The Exorcist, and Universal Monsters. Universal is now in the position to announce all three of these over the next three weeks, week by week. It might sound crazy, but it really lines up perfectly and it would roll us right into Midsummer Scream with one of the Originals over in Hollywood being announced.If there even is a next one. The event is so close that announcements are going to have to start being a heck of a lot more frequent, meaning there’s almost no reason for another map.
Also, I just want my Monsters announcement as these other IPs we know what to expect (assuming they all come to fruition), but we don’t know much about Monsters apart from it being set in Paris.
How much should we sweat the prices?Don’t sweat the FFP.
I can see universal using midsummer scream as the universal monsters house announcement or like you said a Hollywood specific houseSo we have three shared IPs left to be announced: Stranger Things, The Exorcist, and Universal Monsters.

Which would then lead us into August with a bunch of announcements for both Coasts. The next few weeks could be crazy.
Not asking you to burn any sources, but ... specific dates like Opening Night and 10/31, or more general, like Sundays?FFP/Multi-Night tickets are not going away... but I've been predicting, especially after last year, that blackout dates will be more prevalent along with other changes and ridiculous price increases. Even though attendance is down, they still increased APs by $100... so HHN will probably see that as well.
I'm fairly certain Murdy stated that an Original would be announced during the panel. July 30th will pretty much be a day for Hollywood only.I would think it would be an original since their Midsummer panel is not until 4 pm PST so i dont think universal orlando want to wait until 7 Pm est to put out theirs
Usually but anything can changeI thought FFP go on sale near the end of July???
Hey I never bought multi-night tickets before (hopefully) this year, so I'm new to this level of panicWe did it guys, we made it to the "will they kill FFP this year????" Part of spec season! Opening night is getting closer and closer!!
last year had a pretty big panic and a big worry for price increases, but the price increase ended up only being about $50 on average i believe, taking into account every pass type? I wouldnt worry too much about it. Universal has also upgraded their new HHN model for passholders in the past 3 years (food stands, improved merch, merch drops) so it wouldnt make a ton of sense for them to do away with ffp, so I would not stress.Hey I never bought multi-night tickets before (hopefully) this year, so I'm new to this level of panic
It's kind of impressive that we manage to have this same discussion every year with no reason to assume it, without it ever coming to fruition, and with insiders always saying over and over again that it's not happening.We did it guys, we made it to the "will they kill FFP this year????" Part of spec season! Opening night is getting closer and closer!!
The thread is healing... speculation was the real virusWe did it guys, we made it to the "will they kill FFP this year????" Part of spec season! Opening night is getting closer and closer!!
Well, it def will be going up in some capacity - but we’re already breaking the bank at this point. The sweating should’ve started during the Walking Dead era lol.How much should we sweat the prices?
