Don’t want to turn this thread into obsession about announcements but I don’t think they’d announce something and post this on the same day

Why not? Not saying anything is being announced but that tweet is no indication.
We gotta stop forcing these “clues”.

IF anything is announced today more then likely it would be around noon like most announcements
The Throwback Thursdays have never been indication to any kind of announcement or clue.
Let’s not fall back into old habits just because something may be coming people.

This kinda seems like a plan guaranteed to annoy just about everyone. If the houses are promised to return next year, that's somewhat better, but it still dilutes the impact of next years event, which seems like the exact opposite of what they'd want to do.
More importantly, I think this establishes a lot of bad precedents. A daytime event, upcharge mazes - not things I'm eager to see. By far the worst is the "certain mazes on certain nights." This is particularly insidious because the appeal to Universal is so clear - you force repeat visits and longer hotel stays while dramatically reducing the staff needed to run the event. Most guests don't see all the mazes anyway, so what's the harm? If this goes even moderately well, a lot of execs are going to get a lot of bad ideas.

I will guarantee the impact on next year's event, if there is a vaccine and the event can go at full strength, will be 0. If HHN can happen next year as HHN is supposed to happen, the event will be absolutely massive and will rake in insane amounts of money

Bingo. They know where the money is for HHN.
When we're talking about alternating weekends.. is this literally just for 2 weekends? Or all of the "season"?

I really think this just Universal's way of being competitive in what's always a slow season. Can we blame them? What else would they be offering to entice people to come other than "We have a Halloween store you can admire and sob in"? With HoS still somewhat happening, some festivities in MK and HS, and all these other drive-thru/local events popping up there's not much of an incentive to head to Universal this fall. Having some houses with character meet & greets and food/beverage offerings would do just that.

Well, doesn't look like there's an announcement today, atleast at the usual time they post, 12. It could still happen later in the day but I doubt it. Hopefully something this weekend!

Nothing is settled yet. I'm expecting something at any time.
This has "any chance of softs today?" energy

For what it's worth, I had heard earlier this week they were looking to announce something "by the weekend." I just assumed we were guessing Thursday based on prior announcements, not on any actual intel.

Yeah I don't believe we had any actual insite of why an announcement would come today, pretty sure today was just a day that made sense, but I have heard lots of things for something by the end of the week, so who knows, it could be at any second at this point.

The only reason we suspected it was possible is because most announcements come on Thursday at noon

Coming up with creative names can be challenging. I feel like, at times, they tend to overthink things.
