Honestly I think most casual attendees are really gonna like it, I told a friend of mine that it was being thrown around as a rumor and he seemed really excited for it, and in general I think casual attendees dont really hold the event to as strict limits as the fans tend to.oh my friend, when Billie's house gets announced, it will be pure chaos lol. these conversations we had today will be child's play compared to the world of trouble that the announcement will create lol

I hate to ruin the suspense.
It's happening, unless things take a very drastic turn for the worse.

If I had to guess I don’t see another spec map happening since we could be getting everything dropped in a few weeks
I mean, I could see them doing one just to account for the TPU pivot from the second map.

With the idea that everything will be announced at once, can we expect something different then just a huge drop on their Social Media outlets? It just seems like they'd try to hype up the event with some different ways. Seems kinda dry to just dump a bunch of posts on FB or Twitter if you ask me.
I think it would be cool if they announced the contents of the event in some sort of live presentation. After they announce houses, scarezones, (if there are any) and shows, they could talk about how the event will be changed, how the app will work, and how they will be keeping us safe.
The live presentation could be hosted on their social media's. This way the announcements would be more organized and in one neat video that people can view after the live is over.

I might be forgetting, but has there been a year with a significant number of IPs where all the mazes were actually dropped at once? I remember in 2013 there was a week where there was an announcement a day, and I know its not uncommon to drop a lot of the original stuff at once, but I can't recall one where all the content was dropped at once

My money is currently on no proactive social distancing measures and potential capacity control on the ticketing front.

Not sure, but I remember all the originals during 27 being dropped at once.

@Spookies n' Stuff :
17 and 19 the presence of the three headliners (Freddy, Jason, Leatherface and Saw, Chucky Wolfman respectively) were announced in June I think. But the house lineup itself--the names, the stories and what not) was all dumped the last week of August.

I gotta be honest I don’t mind if Texas 2 happens this year cause the movie is out there and some campy fun. However Texas 3 is so bad and I hope we never see that at the event!!

Just because we have Billie and Beetlejuice already, I'd personally prefer a camp-free house.

I think with Texas Atleast walking through it will feel less campy then watching it also not sure I would classify billie as campy

Definitely aside from Graveyard, the originals last year were more creature-based. As much as I loved Depths they would've been better off making the brooders more bacterial/protistic in nature.
Part of why Seeds worked so well (for me) was its gut wrenching sense of quietness, even if it was creature based.
I'm counting anything that might be "lighter" in that category.
It's an awkward position for UOR, because end of the day, multi-day tickets run about what two nights would cost. You end multi-night, I think people will still come, but a lot are going to wait until October. So you have three or four dead nights in September, then quick sell-outs (and money left on the table and potentially pissed off locals) the last half of October.
Unpopular opinion, but I can only call it like I see it: I think UOR is banking on at least a de facto Phase 4 come Labor Day weekend. DeSantis announced Phase 2 on Universal property, can't tell me the suits didn't casually mention how important HHN is to their yearly revenue. Then it comes down to Marketing making people feel safe.
