The vibes I get from this comment and the two people who liked it :'(The rude escalator bit was always cringe, imo.
I hate this and I blame Stranger Things for bringing more kids in the parks. Things were starting to get cleaned up mid 10's, due to the popularity of Walking Dead, but I truly do think Stranger Things killed any chance of us going back to HHN of the late 00s -- which was awesome. Go-Go dancers, dirty jokes, scarier mazes, pushing the envelope, sliders in scare zones, Bill & Ted, Chucky, the Flasher character, scareactors on the lower lot.
Honestly, if they made a scaled down version of the event that happened early November to make it more R-Rated like the early days for a week or two with only the most insane, scary and gory mazes left (3 to 4 mazes) for half the price -- I'd be there.
The event could really use two shows, but the biggest factor here is that Hollywood's event has nowhere near as much money to work with as Orlando. It would have to be a low-scale/low-budget show like a two man freakshow magic act or something like that. The closest we got to having two shows was 2019 when the had the 80's nights on Thursdays and Sundays.I thought it was just me.
Part of the reason we lost the Go-Gos too also had to do with the sexual comments made at them.
During my time as an SA, I remember hearing a lot of the performers voicing their frustrations about that.
Probably better for Uni's PR just to not have them. While I loved the vibe that we used to have, it has been a mixture of the times and guest complaints.
We lost the barker/ring leader also due to guest complaints. People are more sensitive nowadays, while its unfortunate it is what it is. Rude Escalator was always pretty cheesy but it always got a good chuckle out of me. RIP.
I just wish we could get another show. I still think Uni should do an improv or magic show.
Knott's has shown that improv can work pretty well at this sort of event.
Lol sorry, I know folks liked it but it always felt like if a corny Spencer Gifts t-shirt came to life. That kind of humor is just so, so lame.The vibes I get from this comment and the two people who liked it :'(

Universal plaza would be a super ideal location for a second show like this, but it looks like we're going to be losing SES for the primary show venue, likely AA as well. That makes WaterWorld the only main show arena they could use but the only thing they can have there is SlaughterWorld....which is definitely not something they can do again. Yeah they have Dream Works Theater, but that can't work for a live show.....well actually, maybe they could have a small freak show in there. It would interfere with day ops which is not something they want.
The next year or two, we're going to have to have a makeshift show venue in Universal Plaza. Remember when they had bleachers made for the Grinchmas Tree Lighting before Plaza was built? I foresee them doing something like that for Uni Plaza next year in SES' absence.
Assuming AA will be torn down with SES, the Plaza is the only option for a show venue. Maybe if those Bourne show rumors are true, they could also design the space to hold HHN-specific shows as well.I wonder where shows will be once construction on the new FF coaster starts
Wrong thread haha, looks cool thoughJason Guy at WESH is the biggest HHN/Halloween fan and I always love his stories about HHN:
