HHN Hollywood Speculation/News - 2016

I thought Klowntasm was kind of a stupid name, but come on its better than Eli Roth presents terror tram

 

[Alexshow.]

The story of the Tram itself is rather good, considering the odds; and i'm surprised that it's more of a team up of Murdy, Williams and Crypt TV, alongside the iconic Eli Roth. Nethertheless, that title is absolute trash.

Well, Eli Roth co-founded Crypt TV

I actually prefer it just being called Terror Tram over Klowntasm. (I know it's technically "Eli Roth Presents" but it takes up such a small space on the logo that it's easy to ignore)

as I've said, not an icon. As long as John is in charge there won't be an icon. 


In other news a tweak of the route sounds nice for the tram. All of the other characters sound pretty creepy also. I was excited and let down by the purge tram so I hope this tram won't let me down because I am excited for it

Since Murdy said they're cutting the TT route a bit short to accommodate for new scares, do you think that means they're gonna have us go directly past the Psycho house from the Bates Motel and enter War of the Worlds through the other entrance we used to go through in past terror trams?

theres a lot of construction going on involving the storage containers by the fenced area behind the psycho house so if that's what you're talking about, didn't entirely understand what you were talking about, then no we won't be going around the psycho house we'll still be going behind it then into war of the worlds

His job is to acquire IPs and create the physical event. He usually has no say at all in the way the event is marketed. That's a completely different team.

Marketing is done by another department but he has definite say on when items are released by them.


Anyways, nice to see an original character.

This year is going to be amazing!

Can anybody who has experience with FotL passes answer some questions for me? I'm an HHN veteran but I've never done FotL. What I'm trying to figure out is how my group and I will get our lanyards, since we will be arriving fairly early for early access. Where do they give out the lanyards and when do they do it? Is it possible to get our lanyards and be in the early access line at the same time?

If they do early entry like they did last year, wristbands and you're allowed into the park while the daytime guests are still in the park then you'll go through the normal universal ticket entrance which is where they'll give you the FOL credentials

Best time I can give you is DO NOT use your FOTL passes during early access. You can only use FOTL once per maze and with Early Access most mazes are 5-20 minute waits.

Odd, I can't seem to remember going through the turnstiles for early access, I thought there was a side gate or something. But i guess that makes sense because they have to scan the ticket

Yeah this is what we're planning to do, gonna make sure to completely maximize our maze visits

So does anyone pretty much have their final "gameplan" for the day they're going done yet?

I do! Even though we had to take a chunk of it out. 

 

[chris.g]

I'm trying. I'm going the 17th, I could appreciate any tips since Im going with a group. I pretty much have some of my plan laid out. 

 

[MacMillian Crew]

In 2006 I didn't really think to have a game plan, so since 2007 I've basically followed this routine and just added to it when HHN started doing more mazes:


1. Enter the park around early 7-ish and go directly to Terror Tram


(1.5). Depending on my group, probably eat something. Last year was the first time I ever ate inside the park for HHN, so for me it's optional.


2. Do Walking Dead (before WD it would be whatever House of Horrors maze, just to get it out of the way since it wouldn't be completely different)


3. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (or whatever maze(s) are on the Upper lot)


4. Halloween (or whatever Jurassic Park queue maze)


5. The Exorcist (or whatever Mummy queue maze)


6. Krampus


7. Freddy vs. Jason


8. American Horror Story


(9). If I'm in the mood, go on the rides. I have never done the shows in all the years I've gone so usually in the past after I finish the mazes, with VIP I would always repeat them, but not anymore now.


Last year I think I finished the mazes and Terror tram by 11:00-ish.

 

[chris.g]

This is what my plan for this year consists of: 


Early Entry - Freddy vs. Jason > Krampus > American Horror Story > Exorcist > Eat/ Jabba > from here I'm stumped. I'm not sure if we should go do Halloween or Texas Chainsaw next, my group wants to completely skip Terror Tram which I'm okay with. Or if we should do Halloween before eating. We're fine with skipping TWD as well.

Macmillian I hope you know that plan only works with VIP or FOTL

I am FULLY aware of that. All I was doing was listing my personal schedule for this year's event. Nowhere did I even mention in my post that it was directed towards people with only general admission. If anything they should try reversing the order, starting with backlot mazes, considering the popularity of American Horror Story and such, then strategically working up to the lower lot and finally upper lot. Hell, Walking Dead could even be skipped if necessary; though I don't recommend that for individuals coming from out of state/country and unable to visit USH as often, so I would try not to miss it if in that situation.
