HHN Hollywood General Discussion - 2017

Yeah I'm hearing backlot first. But I'm skeptical as to whether or not Shining will be pulling crowds or not.

Just hope and pray your people aren't scardey cats. That will mess you up. Did that with some people on my second night and we only did two houses.

Nah, same group going for the third year. Only one they're scared of is Saw ironically. They're only excited for Shining and Insidious (as am I).

I will warn you - do not do Shining during the daytime. Light leak hurts this one.

Blumhouse wasn't commanding much of a wait at all during EP. Take that for what you will.

Insidious is the most maze prone to light leak beware of doing it in the daytime the sun shines directly at it where The Shining has a soundstage to block most of the light!

Also, if you think it's worth taking the hit, do Insidious first for the Twitter prize.

My go-to route last year was.....

Early Entry- Exorcist, AHS, Krampus, FvsJ, Halloween, TCM, Purge, TWD, Terror Tram...

Granted... IF there was practically no line, I would hit Exorcist again before heading to the metro sets. When on the backlot, after one trip through those 3, depending on the waittimes, I'd hit them up one or two more times. When it came to Halloween, if there was no wait, I'd try to do that a 2nd time as well before heading back to the Upper Lot. TCM would usually only get one trip through, but if the waittime was already high, I usually just saved it for later.

I save the Terror Tram for when the everything else has a long wait & it does not.

I always thought to do backlot first, but this week, I'm leaning towards lower lot, but that light leak is an issue for me. This wouldn't be an issue if early entry wasn't done so poorly, why can't we go back to how it was done a few years ago.

That's typically the case with most Parisian Plaza mazes with Halloween being the exception.

Was Saw being a long line on EP night a fluke or do you think AHS will get longer lines? I feel like EP night always has that one maze that oddly gets long lines but is normal during the actual event. Were they pulsing people wrong? Were they stopping the maze for cast changes? Any possible problems? Etc.

Hard to say. SAW hasn't been around since 2010 - AHS was just here last year. Roanoke probably has less overall popularity than Murderhouse, Freak Show, and Hotel combined. SAW will likely have similar high waits as Freddy vs Jason - really Metro crowd patterns should generally mirror pretty close to last year, plus or minus 20 minutes.

does anyone here know what the password might be for insidious house this year? I'm going tomorrow and want to get the most out of it so if anyone wants to help let me know

 

[ush.hacker]

The password changes every night. Murdy usually tweets the password around 5ish

Do you have his twitter handle and will this work for the opening night (tomorrow) as well?

 

[ush.hacker]

It will work for every night of HHN.

thanks, his twitter talks about Hollywood, will the password be the same for Orlando?

 

[ush.hacker]

I don't think Orlando does a twitter password. This is also the HHN Hollywood topic on the forum and not HHN 27.

[hhnlover]
