Wow I'm dumb, just realized Miss Treats is a play on the word mistreat...
Imagine Universal promotes an "Enchanted Unicorn Stable" house. Inside, a scare-actor in the most amazing unicorn costume you've ever seen -- but the stable itself is dull, rotten wood with a couple hay stacks from Michael's and the smell of horse poop piped in. That's Major Sweets.
Loved the costumes, and the cast may be second only to Ghostbusters for enthusiasm, but I wanted a river of chocolate and pastel-colored candy-making minions. It's got the same generic industrial sets we've seen a half dozen times before. The dichotomy between those things hurts the house, neither belongs in the other's universe. Also felt a bit on the short side. But best queue this year!

Agreed, kinda confused why the two didn’t switch places (I feel the tight spaces may have suited Triplets well, but you may have lost some of the larger rooms that give the illusion of suburban homes).The house should have taken over Triplet's SS space if they really wanted to do more with the candy factory concept. However, it uses its space well and finally gives the venue proper scenic design.
I'd imagine there was another concept (IP?) destined for the SS space before Triplets took over.Agreed, kinda confused why the two didn’t switch places (I feel the tight spaces may have suited Triplets well, but you may have lost some of the larger rooms that give the illusion of suburban homes).

A lot of moments from Triplets act like show scenes rather than scares, which I think works better for a concept like Major Sweets IMO.
People really just refuse to believe that Triplets was always planned lol
