HHN 2022 (USH): Construction Thread

[salismetho]

Perhaps attendance is low enough that they felt comfortable blocking it off. /shrug

attendance is constantly beating predictions from what I've heard, they've been really busy spring break with the park being open 9am-10pm on weekends, longest since reopening. so i kinda doubt it's this

I hope it starts Sept 1st, that'd be awesome. A 2 solid months would be beautiful. It's crowded enough for it to show demand is there. Honestly, after Halloween is the only time it becomes a real dead zone and while I appreciate those empty nights, I can understand nobody wanting to go because "Halloween is over, Nov 1 is when Christmas starts." But if Halloween started early? That's another thing entirely!

Tent is up in the Parisian Courtyard, and FWIW looks like the maze next to The Mummy has the facade and exit flipped.

Another round of updates.

Another round of updates.

Wow construction is moving hella fast. Last I remember, facades would come up around either April or May? Either way, it’s nice to see construction moving very quickly.

Another round of updates.

Gotta' say it's nice seeing a full-blown facade for the CG Maze instead of a poster. The layout shown from earlier pics is pretty intriguing as well.

And is it just me, or is this one of the bigger facades the Mummy maze has gotten? It's certainly one of the taller looking ones, that's for sure.

Crossing my fingers this means less black walls so they gotta get a move on. Even before Covid, I think the earliest they started was mid or late April, if I recall.

I'm thrilled to see they're stepping their facade game up. The "facade" for Hill House was pathetic beyond comprehension.

So it'll be based off the movie and not part of the Universal Classic Monsters maze series?
Interesting...
Mummy used to be a 2 story maze where the House of Horrors was. It was VERY good. I honestly don't know how they will top it, especially with a lot of those sets being permanent fixtures at that time. The only thing I can think of is this will be a bloodier spin on it, but I don't know how well that'll play, especially if it's off tone with the film.

I don't know, I'm both annoyed and excited to see how they'll pull this off. Which I guess is on brand so far with the 2022 leaks.

My guess is they are going to be using the Universal Monsters branding, but telling an original story much like they've done in the past. How incredible would a maze in a museum be with a Karloff-esque mummy on the loose?

In other news, the facade over at Curious George is looking closer and closer to being finished every day.

Some more progress photos from USH.

Wow. this is impressive

Wow. this is impressive

It really is wild to think that it's barely April and we're this far along. Very curious about the rationale...

From Jianna Alverez on instagram, Parisian's facade is coming up.

 

[Freak]

Yeah that looks very familiar.

Interesting how the church is not positioned in the dead center of the tent. Although that bothers my OCD a lot, I can see why they would do it. Probably going to be the funeral scene, turn right, hallway of statues, turn left, entrance into the graveyard, then the tomb entrance which will be the good 'ol black hallway to go to the actual courtyard.

Hopefully they'll have something in that dead space to the right of the facade.

Could be a smaller version or more framing will be added, but that seems La Llorona is returning...

Spec map is looking pretty promising right now.

Spec map is looking pretty promising right now.

Well, we have to wait and see about what may actually be going in Soundstage 29 though.

 

[Freak]

Yeah I think that spec map is pretty much spot-on with 29 being the only questionable venue
