Still have PTSD from the Save Your Tears drinkme, drinking four premixed cocktails that are way too sweet when it's 85 degrees at 10 p.m.

ORI would like to point out that it’s rare for us to get an announcement without any sort of buildup or hint beforehand from insiders or HHN. You could view the tweet yesterday as one, but in reality that had to do with 100 days till HHN if anything. It’ll come, but not sure why everyone is expecting one on a daily basis. When there is one, we will likely have some idea beforehand.
The bars at HoSO seem to work to a certain extent. Longshoreman Tavern because of the show, Poison Ivy Bar mostly because it's an air-conditioned place to sit. Problem with either is finding a large enough empty space at the event; the former adds in the cost of Equity-level actors and the fact that, given the HHN crowd, it would be jammed with the same regulars every night.
An outdoor event space might help somewhat, but without a/c and near constant entertainment, not sure how much of a draw it would be.
So yeah, back to 11th house. But if that also increases capacity, not sure it's ultimately effective. There's always one or two houses that never draw more than a 30 minute wait no matter how bad the crowds.
Problem is location availability. Can’t just say “soundstage” because there’s a very probable chance any spare ones are being used for other things.There are some challenges with a bar, but this is the same company that can pull off a very well-themed tribute store in a matter of weeks - they can do the same with a bar/festival area.
I don't think an 11th house is necessary yet - Hellblock/Spirits/Descendants were all 0min waits even on busier nights the first/few hours last year, so an 11th house is still way out there from ever being realized
I.E.: BMG being occupied by Grinchmas, the SS25 permit that @Legacy heard was for non-HHN related renovations, Soundstage 19 holding Ring of Honor (and previously AEW) filming, wherever DAVE School may be, etc.Problem is location availability. Can’t just say “soundstage” because there’s a very probable chance any spare ones are being used for other things.
Too small for it to make any real difference -and who knows for how long it’ll be available.We still have some sort of MIB tent that isn’t a maze, right? That would be an ideal spot for something new and interesting.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the spots you're referring to, two out of three of those are pretty essential for Stay & Scream.Doesn't have to be a soundstage - the tent/seating area in front of Animal Actors is underutilized during HHN, one or two rooms of the rooms no longer being utilized by the original tribute store location, and the Battery Park location could be utilized a lot better with proper theming/signage.
It's not even an RIP lounge or something like that? I figured they were setting it up for back of house seating for tours.Put the MiB location out of your head permanently.
Talk about not spreading things as it can lead to IP’s backing out. Then UA does this and even tags HHN in the post
It hasn’t really been spoiled. It’s more of an open secret at this point. Still they shouldn’t be advertising it as “confirmed” on their Facebook page as they would look stupid if anything happened to the IP.View attachment 18929
This makes me think that when Universal makes an announcement it will be TLOU, since its basically been spoiled.
Better utilized? Sure but still doesn’t solve the capacity issues in any meaningful way.Doesn't have to be a soundstage - the tent/seating area in front of Animal Actors is underutilized during HHN, one or two rooms of the rooms no longer being utilized by the original tribute store location, and the Battery Park location could be utilized a lot better with proper theming/signage.
That would be great, but once the back-of-house stuff is moved I imagine they'll probably use that space for expansion space for the park.Once EU is complete and a lot of the back-of-house stuff has moved to the new campus, I’d hope Uni would use some of the newly freed-up space to address HHN capacity in clever ways. Until then I don’t expect much to change.
