Left corner, balloon dog from Killer Klowns.

Also, it looks like there is a rabbit figure next to the Killer Klown figure, another Us reference?

Eggs and what looks like a bag of marshmallows on the countertop (Ghostbusters refrigerator scene reference?)

There’s also a porcelain owl in the background of the kitchen scene, a reference to the Shaman’s Vision Quest from Us. Cool how many little details they slipped in

Well this thread hit a wall, huh?

What food items would some of you like to see?

It always does once there's nothing left to speculate on. As for food, I skip most of the gimmicked stuff, but the waffles on a stick are amazing -- I'll be running back to those.

Twinkies, Marshmallow Kabobs, an Ecto-Cooler-esque drink/cocktail, a return of the Triple Eggo Extravaganza but with crunchy waffles this time, popcorn, cotton candy (maybe a cotton candy cocktail), fried chicken, and hopefully a bunch of stuff for the Starcourt Food Court.

Those waffles really were soggy last year! Cinnamon donuts on a stick are still my favorite.

Are we thinking that Starcourt will be the same thing essentially as Benny's Burgers or do we think it will be a step up? Is it just going to be the bare bones stands?

It’s gonna be the same thing.

I hope it is a little extensive. Burger King is at CityWalk, so MAYBE BK. Although, I would be happy just for a Scoops Ahoy stand.

Booo, I found those stands pretty underwhelming but that's a minor complaint.

 

[Jeepers Reaper]

Did anything come of that random upside down tweet about Cabana Bay? It just dropped out of nowhere with little to no info...so unlike the Twitter account O:

Nothing... yet.

I’d say smaller than minor.

lol it's my complaint can't I determine how big it is

I'd be down for all of that.

Am I the only one clamoring for the return of the Waffle Ice Cream Pockets?

 

[faceleg]

You know I think the only thing I've ever gotten from the food booths is the twisted tater. I think I got something different last year but I can't remember what.

I still have yet to try one.

How big is the budget usually for HHN ?

How big is the budget usually for HHN ?

Nobody knows, they don't release that for obvious reasons. But I believe the estimated cost they spend construction each house is from $500K up to $1M each. They hire like 1,600 season employees for the event. They have to secure the rights for IPs. They have to file tons of permits. They have to manufactor all the costumes and masks. Buy all the blink cups. Produce all the merchandise. They hire additional security. They have to have teams on hand to repair houses including electricians and plumbers. They have to pay performers for the shows and build the stages. They pay for the commercial and advertising. All the stuff you think of as standard park ops are an added show as it's later - you can't ask the guys at the security booths to tack 8 hours onto their shift each day so they have to bring people to cover all that stuff. Etc, etc, etc, etc. It all adds to a figure that is probably larger than you think, probably paid for by 5 different departments.

But then you figure, each person in the park every night probably paid an average of like $80 for that night (taking into account how many have multi-day passes, how many are one and done with Publix tickets, how many walk ups pay full price at the gate, how many pay for express, etc)

$15-20 mill? @Legacy knows more obviously.
