Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Mashmingingmasher77]

These and/or Luigis Mansion! Full disclosure, I've never played the game, but think it would be fun lol


I'll basically just give them my bank account information as well

I’m sure Nintendo is pretty happy with Universal and what’s going to be the third if not second highest grossing animated movie of all time. If they would trust them with a Luigi’s Mansion house 2025 would be the perfect year. Then you could even transfer it to Epic Kingdom permanently if it were a hit.

Bad films don't necessarily make for bad houses though. Dead Silence has been cited as a prime example of that.

I thought your example was supposed to reference a "bad film"...

Luigi's Mansion should be a VERY quick expansion to EU (I'd be shocked if there weren't already fairly extensive plans), but I don't see it working as a HHN maze at all. Scooby actually has a chance because everyone but Scooby is a normally-proportioned human. A Luigi's Mansion house would end up looking like a sequel to the '93 movie, which... ok, I'd go through that several times.

I loved Blum! I actually prefer the F&F location over MIB and Shrek. Excited that it’s back this year!

Plus: VERY nice to have a house over on that side of the park again!

Universal has always given us great IPs that were current and fit their overall theme.

HNN 2019 gave us ST season 2/3, Ghostbusters, Us and Killer Klowns

But more importantly it gave us Universal Monsters.

Honestly my biggest question about Scooby would be how they'd do Scooby lmao

I'm interested to see if all the zone locations will remain the same. I liked having a zone in the spot where KKFOS was - but that might be difficult if they plan to do a Meetz Locker food stand again.

It would be nice to move the central park and San Fran zones to Simpsons and the KKFOS site, but I'm sure there are many logistical reasons not to do so.

I'd be perfectly fine losing San Fran for the KKFOS spot, but that would leave half of the park pretty bare sadly

Never experienced the KKFOS scare zone but if it was where Meetz Meats was in Sting alley, that would be one bad ass scare zone. I'm honestly shocked universal doesn't use those tighter alley ways for prime scare spots.

Also kind of shocked we haven't gotten a Exorcist believer trailer yet, but we got a FNAF trailer which comes out later. Makes me really concerned this "speculated" IP will be lost at the last minute. I hope they don't wait to long to can it, so they can avoid another Hellblock Horror.

Klowns was waterfront, not in sting alley. If there’s a lagoon show then they won’t run a scare zone there. And people forget how many complaints there were last time they skipped the SF zone.

Five Nights only released the trailer after footage was leaked, and they scrambled to get something "official" out there to tone down the clamoring for the leaked footage.

Does anyone happen to remember when Rush Of Fear passes generally go on sale? Is it June? I know they don't really sell out because I got mine last minute last year, but I like having my full vacation locked in, illness and hurricanes permitting. I booked the 6 house unmasking tour for Thu Sept 14th at 9:30, so whatever houses get announced, I'll be exploring at least six of them.

Late July last year.

The SF zone has always just been kind of a "walk through" zone for me. Maybe I'm in the minority there

Putting my money on tmrw being our first house announcement of 2023!

As a personal preference, I like zones where I can sit and watch the interactions - that's pretty much New York and Hollywood (its one of the reasons I'm not enthused about rumors NY will be tLoU this year). I feel like moving either San Fran or Central to Simpsons would clear up some bottlenecks, give the zone room to spread out... and give me some sittin' and watchin' space.

Of course, if they opened the festival center I'm obsessed with and moved most of the KidZone food stands in there, you could conceivably reclaim that area as a zone just like in the olden days.

Too logical. The event should have done these "festival centers" years ago. Love HHN, but excluding the houses, they don't really put much effort into the event outside of merchandise.

That’s a hot take if I’ve ever seen…

 

[Grabnar]

Talk about a nuclear take given how terrible the merch generally is lol

 

[Parkscope Joe]

"Actually HHN is bad", Scooby Doo discussion, and when Rush of Fear goes on sale. I think everyone needs to take a break.
