If it makes you feel any better, while not all of Yeti 29 was necessarily cold, there were many moments where a fan was blasting cool air onto a scene of the house, so I can definitely see the same happening with Frozen Empire.
PUPPETS. Finally, some smoke to the fire of how they plan on working with the AQP monsters! Of all the outcomes, puppets seemed like the option with the highest expense to Universal but greatest result in terms of IP accuracy and spectacle potential. Very happy that this is potentially going the Chupacabra route of having a few designated puppet scares instead of throwing lanky performers in shrunk-down monster suits.
Very much hoping this doesn't fall into the trap of Chupa where it was less actual Chupa and more butcher/cultists, but I have hope!
I seriously do not think this will happen. Mainly because the Weeknd/his XO label have been in some controversy. If you have paid attention to the whole Drake beef going on with Kendrick Lamar, as well as with the Weeknd, Drake's security guard was shot outside of his mansion, and everyone is in agreement that the Weeknd's team is the one behind the shooting. I do not think it would be Uni's best move to bring a guy rooted in that type of controversy to the event. Just because you love their music, does not mean they are good people who deserve glorification!
Having it in a soundstage could help the further feel like it is more in the movies in which it is really just open space. In a tent it would just feel like a hallway. Could make the further scenes feel more cinematic and eerie IMO.
So outside of legacy stating that Insidious is now in a SS, we are basically in June and the Universal teams are yet to start building in the new tents?
I mean I wouldn’t say that. In HHN 25 it was in a tent and was a great house.
@Legacy has stated that they are building everything elsewhere and will piece it in the tent later, just like they used to do with the Shrek venue.
I never went through that house, and I'm not denying it was great either! I'm just saying it gives them an opportunity to build on the further and make the experience even better!
I wouldn’t say that since it’s in a SS the experience would be better. I’m happy it’s in a sound stage though, just wouldn’t expect it being in one means anything.
We do but there’s no place to really put it. AA is the only place unless they use the lagoon again, which last I heard is still out of the question for HHN.
This is a big hope of mine as well. Fingers crossed the lagoon has become available.
Completely agree! Just saying it gives them more room to work with!
