It seems reallllly weird to do soundstage houses and MIB but not have beetlejuice
I don’t see Texas 3D lasting next year. I will say I only heard rumors of BJ and bride being open thoWell, aside from TC3D, I can understand--those are non-licensed houses.
(When the event finally happens in "full," I think the lineup might actually be stronger without TC3D. I fully expect at least one house to be cut is all.)

If they do use some of the houses this year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the same ones scrapped or changed significantly before coming back for HHN 30.
I believe there is an ever evolving nature to events this yearThese past four or five busy weekends may have changed Universal's thinking on the full cancellation. Give them 'something' , even if it's not the full experience, and they will come. Not in previous year's attendance, but enough to
spur some attendance. Like it was speculated by @Ringwraith , number it 29.5 and then no one can get upset over the anniversary standard. But, then again, anniversary's have never been a big thing with Universal, like they are to Disney. I say go for it, if it helps keep theme parks afloat, the idea of Epic alive, and jobs for people that need them in a state that pays near zilch for unemployment.
Yeah, if I could cut one house, it'd be that.
I'd be shocked if Billie isn't there when it happens. Maybe HoHH gets an LT rebrand?
Here's my issue as a local: They've proven time and time again that they can't run a safe operation. Look at this weekend alone. They no longer get that benefit of the doubt.In the words of Beetlejuice, Billie's house is "gone, split, out of here, afterlife kid...deceased..."
As long as they can run a safe operation, we're lucky that they're considering anything at all. The people that have been called for work, and were starving for it, are elated that they can finally put food on the table again, instead of collecting from our state unemployment, which is a joke.
Universal is in survival mode. And a hungry dog needs to eat.
As long as it is safe. As long as it is profitable. Universal should do it.
Does it suck if you're an out of state fan and can't make it? Yes it does.

Also, I'm going to go on a rant here for a second, mostly based on what I'm reading on Reddit and Twitter.
Universal is in survival mode. And a hungry dog needs to eat. Whether they "owe" their fans anything at this juncture is irrelevant, because we are living in a pandemic.

Whether they get two RIP tours to go through with the lights on or they do a mini event, it's going to make a profit and it will make future HHN's better. It will give people jobs. It will allow them to build a 4th gate so you can all get your beloved Nintendo characters and hopefully a full on monsters land instead of them nixing it.

Does it suck if you're an out of state fan and can't make it? Yes it does. I was out of state when they had a Cabin in the Woods house in Orlando and I couldn't make it. Was I pissed? Yes. Did I get over it and keep returning year after year? Yes. If you are a true fan of the event, Universal and their future, you are 100% allowed to be upset, but you should also be supportive if they have found a way to make this happen.

I agree with all this...Now, whether or not they are in "survival mode" or just acting like it could be expanded on a bit.In the words of Beetlejuice, Billie's house is "gone, split, out of here, afterlife kid...deceased..."
