My fiance'e and I just got back from the first external audition with some information on the event. IOA will have Marvel, POE, Seuss and Lost Continent open. The Studios will be open from the Boneyard to San Fransisco/Hollywood areas. Seven Houses are confirmed, themes include a Ghost house (SS 22), Vampire House (SS23), Dr. Payne House (Marvel), Wax House(SS 20A), HellsGate (SS20B), Dead/Zombie House(Earthquake cue) and an Icon House(Herc/Xena-SS 44). One of the houses (we guess HellsGate) is themed to a prison, Dr. Payne is the mascot of IOA, the ghost house is a western theme, and the Icon house is a secret. However, we believe they may bring back the Caretaker to be the mascot of USF, and will be in the Icon House. The cornfield is a scare-zone that must be crossed to get to USF. The parade, while the floats are not running will be a scarezone in the Boneyard section, which is being tagged as the Parade/Midway. Port of Evil will be the entrance and exit for the event, and the scaracters are 'broken bodies that have been porely put back together" by Dr. Payne.

There will be a Marvel Street and a Lost Continent Street which were not explained. Also, there is one other street that was not mentioned. Location is unknown, but we would imagine that it would be in the vincinity of Revenge of the Mummy. Two streets are tagged as FS and FY. One of them is the cornfield, the other is unknown.
It appears that Jurassic Park and Toon Lagoon, as well as the Amityville and World Expo sections will be dark.

We will pass along more information has it becomes available.

EDIT- While perusing the net, we found information on the Icon house and the mystery street. "Icon" refers to the Nightmare character that was seen in LC in 2002 and POE in 2003. It appears the demon is finally getting his own house. The Mystery Street is indeed in New York and will be themed to a post-apocalyptic world with "Mad Maxx" type scaracters running about. The chainsaws will be here. FY is New York and FS is Suess/Stalk for the cornfield.

Legacy and Paixao, out.

This all sounds so awesome I cant wait to go but does anyone know if the hours might be a little longer this year since there is gonna be more to do?
I doubt the hours would be extended. The parks normal operation will end at 5 pm on HHN days. Then HHN will open at 7:30. Non-peak nights should have no reason to last past 12, seeing as non-peak nights (unless something weird happens) are rarely very crowded. Peak nights actually are almost unable to stay open past two because the parks still need time to clean and ready themselves for the next day of normal operation. More houses should allow the lines to thin some. A normal house can push through about 1500 an hour, even more so if the cast in "on". The lines will be long, as always, but things should be more controlled then last year's.

In otherwords, highly unlikely that it would be extended.

:lol: I was wondering when you would show up in this thread, Rob.

Have fun with the audition this year... all they tell is to walk like a zombie, vampire or broken body. They provide a TON of direction :eyeroll:.

Thanks for getting that song stuck in my head...

It sounds like a good idea though, just be sure to lunge at them when they aren't looking. It works well :D.
