Totally agree that I'd rather have a show at Waterworld than a house.
Count me as among those who really miss the Metro sets. The walk was never that bad, and the scare zones along the way helped (even if Toxic Tunnel was becoming stale). Hanging out on the Universal sets is always fun -- plus, Universal is one of the birthplaces of modern horror, so being on the backlot during HHN was a pretty cool and special thing, in my opinion.
Maybe I've forgotten how bad the walk actually was, but it wasn't any worse than the walk to the CG lot was it? That walk is brutal to me for some reason, especially after you exit Potter. It's just a long, slow, boring trek.Oh, no - the walk WAS bad.
But I still would love to have them back.
In my recollection it was quite a bit worse. I recall there being a year where they used trams to shuttle you to the backlot — I can’t imagine that happening for Curious George.Maybe I've forgotten how bad the walk actually was, but it wasn't any worse than the walk to the CG lot was it?

By a longshot, due to the much more considerable length of walking distance you travel to get there.
If you include the walk through Potter, I'd say getting to CG is pretty similar to going from the lower lot to the Metro sets.
Yeah the trek itself is roughly equal, and the walk to Metro at least had two scare zones to experience. It’s just a nostalgia thing for me, I understand the logistical reasons behind the move and I think it all works out just fine.Though you are right that at the end, it is roughly the same (only lacking .02 miles from that of Hogsmeade to H-Lot).
They brought back the trams for 2015 (only 2 houses in Metro).2013, first year Metro operated; only year they did the trams. After 2013, the drop-off/Pick-up that was used for that area was then used for FDTDVenue as I think some have called it.
Wow I did not know this. I did not have a express pass when I went to hhn 2022 so that means that I didn't get to do the curious George parking lot maze. This year I am getting express so that means I will most likely suffer now.For me, I think the reason I didn't mind the trek to the Metro Lot, and find the trek to CG is a bit more annoying is the width of the pathway. Heading to the Metro lot, the path was basically fairly wide all the way there, easing any crowded feelings. Plus at least there were some scareactors to break it up.
The path of CG is considerably more claustrophobic , and that bit where the mob of people have to abruptly merge into a narrow sidewalk with a railing is especially brutal first thing. Every time I did it, so many people get stepped on and kicked in the trample. And other than video screens, there's nothing to look at or experience (aside from a nice city view at the merge point).
Hello from Spain, my girlfriend and me are two HHN fans. We were in 2023 and we will return in 2024. And these are our speculations of horror houses for HHN 2024 with probability percentage:
Chucky (again) 90%
Gremlins (40th anniversary) 99%
Creature from the Black Lagoon (70th Anniversary) 95%
Children of the Corn (40th anniversary) 50%
Hellraiser 40%
Saw (20th anniversary) 65%
Nosferatu (Movie in December) 50%
Five nights at Freddy's 99%
A Nightmare on Elm Street (40th Anniversary) 55%
The Nun II 25%
Maybe Scare Zone of Silent Hill 2
HHN 4ever
I really hope not.I'd also say Texas Chainsaw--50th Anniversary is this year too.
(Honestly, Titans of Terror could make a comeback and it'd actually make sense)
Instead of Terror Tram 2.0, have it as a house again, but this time literally hosted by Chucky via the animatronic puppets..(Honestly, Titans of Terror could make a comeback and it'd actually make sense)
