I'm not sure I know what you mean. Midsummer Scream hasn't happened this year.

I'm not definitively saying Hollywood Harry vs Jack isn't happening. I'm pointing out that it's a rumor that gained steam because some folks expected joint coast announcements, and for Hollywood to focus on its own sorta-kinda-technical anniversary this year. The latter two things didn't happen, which makes me think it's noise -- on top of the reality that Hollywood-only fans don't generally know who Jack even is.

Last year, at the HHN panel at MSS with Murdy and Aiello, they answered questions about how Hollywood used Orlando Icons early on and later on created Hollywood Harry as sort of our "Icon".. Murdy then answered a question about Jack meeting Hollywood Harry and asking.. "Should they come back to HHN Hollywood?" and when the crowds cheered for the idea, he merely stated "I'll file that away.."

Okay, so this was a panel last year. They wanted to talk about the Orlando icons while Murdy was present, so inevitably their (mostly) lack of track record in that area came up.

Again, I'm not saying that a Jack vs Hollywood Harry thing isn't happening. I'm saying that some of the "evidence" that suggests it could be has not actually panned out (yet, at least).

I would venture only the real diehards even know who Hollywood Harry is.

The Crows are more of a Hollywood icon at this point

I have been to the event every year that Hollywood Harry has been featured, and I only really remember the Terror Tram in 2022. I guess that might say more about my memory, though.

I don't really care much for icons, but FWIW I think he's a cool concept for a character.

...If I were in charge of Universal Hollywood, I would absolutely have employees cart around suspicious colorful bags during the busiest time of the day. They would naturally have strategic tears in them that "reveal" red herring IPs for HHN (a la Knott's Scary Farm), just so I can browse these threads and X and cackle over the resulting drama.

Knotts could do that with original houses but if universal did that with IPs they could get in huuuuge legal trouble

If I’m not mistaken something like this happened back in 2021 and that’s why they lost H3.

More to that story, but that leak certainly didn’t help.

The Halloween rights holders seem to be real sticks in the mud ever since the Halloween movies got big again. Like pre 2018 they seemed to let Murdy do pretty much whatever he wanted with these. Idk just an observation on my part.

David Gordon Green has had a surprisingly disproportionate impact on this event between Halloween getting harder to license and Exorcist Believer.

Inviting a unique question, especially as Jurassic is beginning setup of the venue ahead of construction--especially as I believe Murdy has directly said Mummy will be used too. This is in relation to queue logistics and of rides open during the event.

How would people feel, if Jurassic World closed in the trade off of Fast & Furious being open during the event. It's been no secret that there was a lot of issues last year when it came down to queue logistics with the process of having UES (the area where Jurassic World for FFN is) used to hold up queues for both JW Overflow and Mummy.

What if for the sake of things going forward, Jurassic World closes during the event, to allow the HHN Operations crews to use the queue to it's fullest, without clogging up that of the pedestrian pathways outside of the JW arch. To allow them to use the entirety of the queue, and have it not effect the bar in any way or shape.

Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, per my understanding, is aiming to have the ride open during the HHN event; and I would presume with it acting as this park's equivalent to Rockit, that I think they're going to try to have the ride open for as much as possible. Perhaps as a benefactor of the capacity for Fast, that it might be enough to let Jurassic go.

Assuming if I am right, that could lead the attraction list to be somewhat to this level:
  • Forbidden Journey (With it closing around 11:45PM)
  • Hippogriff
  • Mummy
  • The Simpsons Ride
  • Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift (which could operate potentially later than JW could, assuming Hippogriff and Mummy are fine)
  • Transformers
  • Mario Kart: Bowsers Challenge (which as of now, still closes till 10PM due to how USH has Early Access).

Brother there is no way they will close Jurassic World during HHN. People are not gonna be happy about that. Besides the park needs to add capacity, not replace it.
