I mean, it was said before the event last year that Stranger Things would receive reviews "similar to Silent Hill"--in other words, that it would be a big disappointment to fans of the show. That obviously did not happen.

I don't mean die-hard fans of the event who believed it was too family friendly. I'm talking GP who were brought in by the property. From the description of it Legacy posted before the event, it sounded like THOSE people would come away monumentally disappointed.

As an HHN fan, I agree with the "too family friendly" sentiment--though I think this year's will be more intense. However, as a fan of the show I had a lot of fun with the house. Helped that I went through with a group.

I don’t build house expectations off behind the scenes, lights off details.

I build them starting with the details I actually see myself from lights on reviews, and then have my own runthrough.

There was so many good scenes in the Monster mazes that year. The flying brides and the "squeezinart" in Dracula, the hook scare and heart rip in Frankenstein, and the transformation and finale scene in The Wolfman. If they bring those scenes back, im not complaining.

Exactly! Reusing stuff is the least if my worry for the house. If anything i would be really happy if they bring stuff like those scenes back.

That was my fairly, defacto, stance on Stranger Things. And I don't necessarily retract it. People where listing a slew of scenes in anticipation - and my point was that there wasn't that much to the house. My opinion was also established before Netflix approved lookalikes.

Regarding Monsters - there's only one IP I keep hearing get preliminary praise: Ghostbusters. There's only one original I am similarly hearing praise for: Graveyard.

I do not expect Depths of Fear to be well received based off of what you have said--

the scare actors being almost entirely infected lab researchers and not aliens

--but I don't care. As long as Nightingales and Ghostbusters are well received I'll be happy. :)

The Right Stuff tv series seems to still be using Stage 21. Is there a house there this year? Or will it just be queue for Ghostbusters, like it was in the past.

The Right Stuff? Like the NASA miniseries?

I feel like we may be a bit closer to 27 quality rather than 28 this year. I genuinely think that replacing the soundstage original was a mistake and will bring down the event for the sake of zeitgeist chasing.

Of course not. That could be all subjective. I'd rather go through the houses myself and form my own opinion.

Actually the 7 night full week rates are even lower;
I got 10 night at sapphire for 135. Wanted HR but trying to get AP rate their is very difficult.
Also, they changed their 7 day stay and save rate from 35% down to 30% this year.
Cabana 98
Aventure 98
Sapphire 130
Royal 199

Come on guys, the event isn't even open, how can you judge a haunt you haven't even seen it.

I just don’t think “prelim praise” matters that much. The house may not even be done yet. How a house “looks” on first creation may be entirely different depending on how the cast put into it jives with it

Looking at the HHN subreddit (among...other places), I see a good deal of resentment towards the Vikings zone. Do people really want to see the same thing over and over?

Judging by The Lion King remake killing at the box office, I know the answer to that question is yes. :'(

There is some truth to this. Last year, I heard a few people say Poltergeist may not live up to the hype. (Admittedly, they did say once sound and lighting came into play, it could impact that)

I am actually getting a little excited about the viking scare zone. Just something different.
