Never heard of that dude before. I wouldn’t give him too much thought

That’s a rumor on top of the base rumor

So if they ARE doing 4 houses, 2 rotating each weekend, could that be done with just the 2 portals we are seeing now? Assuming they're all in the soundstages.
I mean they'd just have to adjust the end of the queues a bit to direct into a different section of the soundstage.

That's actually a really good point, and I'm pretty sure it's possible...Those are the only 2 portals that we have as of today, correct?
They would need one in Kidzone (but I guess they could move the Brides.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Universal is technologically incapable of running a virtual line (at least Universal’s virtual line) for an upcharge attraction, so VL and upcharge are an either/or situation. That said, if they did do an upcharge with some controlled queue entry system...
This is pretty much how you would have to do it.

So it seems like no matter which rumor is true we will be seeing the bride of Frankenstein and tooth fairy this year just possibly not on the same day

I'm very happy we might be getting a chance to see some sort of houses but, not gonna lie, going through Icons would be amazing.

I was under the assumption that Beetlejuice would be out of the question, and that we might just get the soundstage houses.
But I'm fine with whatever happens!
I guess we’ll find out in the next week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (or beyond)
Just read through everything and WOW. I had already planned on going to Universal on the 26th. So hopefully I can experience this!

I kinda hope they are free with admission. It may be chaotic tho.

I think the extra $15-$30 will be worth not having to deal with the normal Uni crowds. And it’ll help Universal with the one thing they’re doing this for, money.
Universal may have been hesitant to announce this too soon this week so as not to jeopardize this weekend's attendance. Weekdays are so slow that Sat./Sunday are their saviors. A Thursday announcement
could have cut into the amount of people going this weekend , before it starts up.

Free admission = a park at capacity within minutes of opening and then a giant crowd trying to get into the houses with no one spending money. Ends up losing money they would've made otherwise.
Hefty upcharge = staggered admission times (hey! let's stop by Finns first!) and a new revenue stream. Makes money they wouldn't have otherwise.
Given what @Magic Feather said, I do wonder if figuring a way to stagger the crowd is the sticking point here. This threatens to bring bad P.R. from both "sides" of the COVID "argument"--a rotunda full of people desperate to be "first" is only going to exacerbate that.

Hypothetically, yes. Unless for some reason they make it free for locals, which wouldn’t make sense, given their main audience is locals
