Universal Fan Fest Nights - Coming 2025

[Jerroddragon]

Also for BTTF....I doubt it but they could like Tech wise bring back the BTTF ride at the Simpsons attraction....considering most likely we have like a few years left before the building goes by by not a bad send off.

When I was first told about this I heard Square Enix would also be involved so I’m a little shocked I’m not seeing anything Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest related, though I understand the latter could still be considered a niche in the west.

It does say "and more" on the way, and they specifically mention "anime", but none of those 3 IPs qualify as anime. So we just have to sit & impatiently wait.

Come on USH, include kpop... Japan did for their "Soak Fest".
Seventeen just sold out BMO within 45min (both days).

Hmmm, imagine if another Nintendo IP gets thrown into this.

The perfect space for all the non-horror IPs that people think should be at HHN. Excited to see what comes of this.

 

[KlownzNskullZ]

Its a ticketed event...that would be insane if they just did that

I mean it’s what Disneyland after dark events are. lol

I don’t think you push “from the creators of HHN” for a photo op.

You take that back! Hello Kitty has proven we deserve a Hello Kitty X Chucky house collab!

I'm kind of confused, is Universal Creative not the creators of HHN? Or are they referring to a specific team within Universal Creative?

 

[joerodriguez]

It would be awesome if they could build some high quality walk thru mazes that are on the same level as the ones they do for HHN.

I would certainly go to this event if it was in Orlando.

Does anyone find the use of “celebratory activations” a bit odd? What exactly is an activation?

No, Universal Creative has nothing do with HHN. Pretty sure HHN is put on by the entertainment team, mainly art & design.

OH! That's very interesting to hear (I'm too scared to go to the events, I'll accidentally punch someone or have a panic attack, ahaha).

Alternative: Audition to be a scareactor. That way YOU do the scaring. Easiest way to get over the fear.

Or just work staff. You'll get adopted by the monsters. Which will also cure your fear & be able to enjoy the event.

I think I'm too much of an empath to be a scaceractor. If I scare someone too bad, I might spiral into my subconscious and go like, "Ooo, I hope they're okay ;-;" and break character way too easily.

Like, I can't even do Fright Fest. I know they have those "No scaring" passes but I feel like that's cheating, ahaha. And spiders are a big no no as I have severe arachnophobia (can't open my eyes for a good chunk of Forbidden Journey, ahaha).

Anyway, I do wonder if this event will be of a similar scale to HHN.

Dungeons and Dragons screams Stranger Things to me and Universal does have a relationship with Netflix when they did the HHN houses.

Activations are corporate jargon to mean any sort of experiential advertising and marketing. Any pop up experience is an "activation," so I'm taking this to mean they're going to offer a variety of experiences based around these properties.

I 100% can believe they would, but that line indicates it will be more than photo ops. Probably “mazes” but more so like the ready player one experience

Small thing (will discuss thoughts when home—quite literally walking home with a planter), USH has social account prepped on X.

If this is meant to honor anime.. well... they might as well...
