I was told yesterday by Guest Relations the 3 S&S locations are Lombard's, Minions Cafe and Today Cafe. There was no mention of NY or Central Park/Springfield. I'm not sure how this will work out considering how crazy S&S has gotten over the years.Did I read somewhere in this thread that Simpsons will not be a holding area this year? Checked back and can't find it...hoping I imagined it![]()
Whaaat, no NY either? That's wild... interesting to see how this plays out (although I'm still going to go ahead and hope this isn't trueI was told yesterday by Guest Relations the 3 S&S locations are Lombard's, Minions Cafe and Today Cafe.

In all honesty. I don't see how that could be true either. I'm holding out hope that NY will still be used as usual. It will be interesting to find out. Only 8 more days to see.Whaaat, no NY either?

I disagree. Yes those “diehards” exists but I am definitely not one of them. Even last year with me being a big The Last of Us fan, I still didn’t care. Yes I was interested to see how they did it, but I knew just like the vast majority of IP houses, it would just be a book report. And honestly that never excites me. I have been excited for this year cause the originals are always what excites me every year. Hell Triplets of Terror and Slaughter Sinema 2 had me far more giddy than any IP house ever has. I know it’s hard to believe we exist but we do. We don’t speak as loudly as the IP lovers.One thing I’ve definitely picked up on is that no matter how much we all as the “diehards” of HHN love to play the “I go for the original houses/the original houses are always better” game, the IP houses for the year absolutely do matter for the event’s overall hype and perception. No matter how much we all may try and deny it.
I think GR could/would know a week out. But also, I could see them adjusting next week when those 3 locations don’t workSo I honestly wouldn't be surprised by anything when it comes to Stay and Scream locations this year. Who knows if anyone knows at this point?
Makes sort of sense? They always keep the queue up for the Music Plaza stage. So just use that queue space for S&S ticket scanning/entry while your setting up the event (allowing teams to move stuff in/out for the NY zone without so many people blocking the space). And then just have a crossover to Minion Cafe and the area where the NY booths are. Only condition is they need to put a lot of umbrellas in the area if they intend on doing this since that turf is hot.I was told yesterday by Guest Relations the 3 S&S locations are Lombard's, Minions Cafe and Today Cafe.

Per usual each year at Universal, nothing new.There seems to be a lot of left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing with the event this year (Blumhouse zone being set up before an announcement, as an example). So I honestly wouldn't be surprised by anything when it comes to Stay and Scream locations this year. Who knows if anyone knows at this point?
I get the complaints over the disjointed marketing efforts relative to the aughts where the event website and backstory felt like a true labor of love for A&D, but what does everyone notice about the last couple of years that was particularly more corporate than 2013-2019?
Maybe the answer is nothing and the point is the event feels like less of a passion project than it did over a decade ago (I started going in 2013 so I wouldn’t know). I’m just curious if there’s anything that’s happened under my nose since HHN23 thet I’m not noticing that has cheapened the experience for folks?
I’d also throw out what does one mean “more corporate”? Sponsorships?
This actually makes a lot of sense. No need for S&S if it’s to beat the crowds if the crowds already are way smaller, allegedly.Not sure if anyone else has posted this or not previously. But GR told me that there will be no Stay & Scream on Premium night. They will fully clear the park and then reopen the front gates.
If it is in fact as limited as advertised. This year is definitely filled with lots of unknowns. Kinda exciting.This actually makes a lot of sense. No need for S&S if it’s to beat the crowds if the crowds already are way smaller, allegedly.
It will be interesting to see next Thursday (What next Thursday?! That’s crazy!?) how limited it is.If it is in fact as limited as advertised. This year is definitely filled with lots of unknowns. Kinda exciting.
