I don't think it's a large scale budget. I would think the costs are similar to a maze. There are fewer dancers than Scaractors - paid better I'm sure - and about 12 running crew.I have to ask--how expensive does Jaaba usually cost? I would think that because it's a troupe that is primarily established at the MGM-Grand, alongside the effort of gathering the dancers and doing the blocking and choreographing, that it would be on a large scale budget.
Rights are a tricky thing. Just because UNI had the rights to distribute H3 (they did) doesn't mean they own the rights to the characters, imagery and music.Wasn't universal the distributor of H3?
I could be totally wrong, and I'm no copyright lawyer, but it seems like it would be a little hard to lose the rights you technically own a part of.
I think its more likely they realized having blatant stuff like that right in view of guests isn't the best idea when it hasn't been formally announced.
I mean, considering they've put the H3 masks and the Silver Shamrock jingle in every halloween maze to date, unless those came as a package deal with each Halloween movie they were already doing, it seems like there must not have been too much red tape to make it happen in that capacity.Rights are a tricky thing.

Some here tend to get stuck on "well Universal distributed it why can't use it in a maze". As we have learned before there are layers to rights and several people have to sign off.
As for Jaaba my guess is the biggest expense is the rights fees for the music.

They still had to go through Trancreas, so it may be possible that a wire got crossed if we see more scenic takedowns of certain elements.

I mean the easter egg still uses copyrighted music and iconography from the movie. I'm sure there are parties other than universal involved for pretty much any movie they'd do, but I feel like H3 is still obscure enough that it would be more financially beneficial to let Universal go through with it and advertise the movie for them rather than just cutting it and probably causing a lot of trouble for both parties.Sticking a non-advertised Easter Egg in a maze is very different than advertising a film by name, using it in a marketing campaign, and inserting Michael Myers into a movie where he for all intents and purposes does not appear.

Slightly unrelated but I feel like in general including michael at all was probably a move to keep the general audience who probably hasn't see Halloween 3 from getting confused as to why Michael isn't in it despite it still carrying the Halloween title. Probably didn't want a repeat of the same reputation the movie had upon release.
Hmm.. the plot thickens..
This basically reiterates that H3 is still in WW queueGonna guess the only things changed are maybe scarezone locations and a show?
Announcement coming soon?
