The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

Do you guys still think they’ll do a huge drop or do a house at a time?

I'm gonna guess a huge drop for originals and zones, IP holders tend to like their announcements individual so those will probably be at least a little spread out.

Honestly it doesn’t even need to be a ad or announcement it could just be some sort of teaser and that would be enough to assure people the event is on and to book a vacation

I don't think it'll be a single drop. I think they'll test the waters so to speak with an icon announcement of some sorts. From there, if everything is well-received, I think they'll try to monopolize the amusement park news cycle with a new announcement(s) every few days or every week or something. Just my thought, but if they know they are going to have the event (hoping that's the case) and they know the houses (which they obviously do), then why wouldn't they spread it out a little bit to maximize the news cycle?

With them replying to those specific announcement request tweets today, do we think they might play up on the whole begging for an announcement thing?

Just realized, Legendary Truth is kinda like the SCP Foundation. Their job is to locate strange anomalies and try to contain them and research them.

This is the retweet we all need

This means we can finally put the HHN30 isn't happening rumors to rest. This is basically confirmation that its happening.

I'd argue 3 months out is too soon to say anything with complete certainty, but as every insider has said for quite some time now, Universal is planning on proceeding at this time, construction is happening, hiring is happening, etc. Anything can happen between then and now, but they have every intention of going forward until they absolutely can't. I don't really think this is the time yet for definitive statements, but I digress.

I feel like HHN30 is going to happen. Whats probably going to be different this year compared to previous years will be the scares, the scares are gonna probably be scareactors coming out of doors/coming out for a quick scare. instead of getting really close.

They are 100% planning on this event happening as of now. I think they are hoping that this bad stretch for Florida right now means it'll blow over (meaning slow down so Orlando isn't a hot spot) anyway by the time the event starts. The worst case scenario for them, as i've said before, is to hold the event and have a massive outbreak spread through the casts to the point where houses have to shut down because they don't have enough people to staff it. That would not only be bad PR, but we're talking about human lives.

Personally I don’t see the difficulty for distancing in houses. I think that close scares can be people already wearing masks and if there is a scareactor without a mask, they don’t scare you close up

I understand and this really isn't the thread for it, so I'm not trying to draw this out, but things are changing by the day. The WHO stated just today that they still think "the worst is yet to come". I'm not here to say it won't happen. I just don't think we're in any place right now to say "It's happening. Any assumption otherwise is silly and wrong". Too much is uncertain outside of the parks right now to make such definitive statements 3 months out. Universal can and will continue to proceed with setting up however they can to be as safe as possible, but there's just no predicting what standards may be in place that far out currently.

Of course and I'm not denying that in the slightest. I'm well aware that they're full speed ahead on this. The "as of now" is all I'm emphasizing. I just don't think we should get too ahead of ourselves just because announcements may be proceeding. I'm definitely preparing for that worst case scenario as well, unfortunately.

and as much as people will say corporate would force the issue, they won't because forcing it could make OSHA violations since COVID-19 is reportable last I heard.

I'm glad to hear of something potentially going public. Even if nothing is announced, knowing for sure it's going to happen would be nice and kill the speculation.

2020 isn't a normal year. The sooner everyone accepts it, the sooner we can make the best of it.

 

[Living Dead Dude]

They should just announce have people book vacations if it gets to bad just cancel and give refunds like every other event.

Exactly.

 

[Living Dead Dude]

Exactly.

It’s just what hhn is already doing hoping for the best but if it can’t happen it’s for everybody safety it’s not like there would be riots or anything over it. Just show the people that they plan on having a event and will try their hardest no matter what

 

[WAJAS]

I think we’ll get an announcement that we’ll be getting future announcements. However, they’ll acknowledge that HHN is happening this year, but no more information than that.
