Yeah, I agree. I usually love HTF and all of the little bits and pieces he trickles out through tweets and such, but this whole thing is rubbing me the wrong way. He's being vague in the worst way, saying that something is coming but he won't tell what. Saying that is like a presidential candidate saying they will increase jobs; it's something everybody wants, but what are the details, how are you really going to accomplish it?
It seems to me that HTF is playing into Disney's hands by hyping them up right when Uni is ready to knock the doors down for a few months, exactly like you warned. It's something I would never expect from HTF but I'm suspicious, especially since he's typically the Universal source and I can't remember him ever really getting a Disney scoop. HTF doesn't strike me as someone who would play ball so easily, but...
If he has something to say, then he ought to just say it. The teasing might be fun in a game of Find Tom Bricker's lens cap (a fanboi friend has suggested this as a real game, so do NOT think I created it!) But it is no fun when people think you are holding back on them.
I keep far more to myself than I ever put out for all sorts of very good reasons. But I won't say ''something big is coming to EPCOT'' and then not follow up. If I can't tell the entire story to protect sources etc, then I at least try and get something out that says 'I am not simply someone looking for attention' ...
