[Idea] Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

[WDWDN]

With the success of MNSSHP at Magic Kingdom, which is geared toward families, and Universal's HHN's, which is geared to teens and adults, isnt it time for Disney to create a more "adult themed" Halloween experience.

Over a year ago Disney registered various forms of "Disney's Horror Wood Studios" domains, so my guess is they certainly had something in mind in the future.

My question is would you guys like to see a new "adult themed" Halloween experience at Walt Disney World, or would you prefer to keep it more family oriented and have only MNSSHP?

Re: Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

That would be pretty cool, I think they could even orientate it around the ToT and with the new Indy movie they could have the zombie aztecs and of course StarWars so yes it would really promote adults acting alittle bit more like kids for the night...

Personally that's what upset me so much about the closing of PI now for the adults to really have a adult-type night out at Disney they have to drive all the way to Downtown Orlando or to UNI...it was always nice to leave the kids with Grandma and go cut out for one night with the misses and myself..I'm betting this would have the same effect.

edit: While we still do cut out for one night it's usually now only to go to Dinner or something by ourselves not like before where we'd go to the Adventurer's club or the dance clubs after dinner and drink up the nightlife

Disney wouldn't try anything that doesn't cater to their main demographics. Plus they'd be unable to wrestle the locals away from HHN.

NIGHTMARE. BEFORE. CHRISTMAS. Use it DHS, cmon!


DHS targets teens. Teens like NBC. Teens also like HHN. I don't see why they can't combine these too. Especially since there were rumors of NBC invading DHS a while ago.

Seeing as ABC/ESPN is owned by Disney I don't see a major NBC takeover of DHS happening anytime soon...

yeah about that...oops I really need some sleep I have been working way too much lately, but that's neither here nor there

anywhoo..ignore my last post my bad, and yes you are right ABC is more younger fan orientated and NBC is more hip with the teens of today..kinda like CBS is hip with 60 year olds

LOL, nice reference. Yes, I totally agree with that analogy.

NBC totally fits the HHN kind of event except a little toned down. I suggested in another thread a Halloweentown land, and I think it'd fit well in DHS.

That would be cool I would love to see the Nightmare Before Christmas (wow wierd how that is NBC abbreviated too huh?) get a small themed area, it really makes no sense how they sell all that Jack and gear along those lines and they are literally NO WHERE in any of the WDW parks...I've never even seen their costumes walking around anywhere

Re: Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

I wouldn't want to see something scary in the way that Halloween Horror Nights is, but rather a classy sort of scary? Maybe even an entire Twilight Zone themed evening. I would die of happy.

Re: Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

I agree I would love to see something more adult oriented at night. Don't get me wrong when my friends and I go to the parks we stay until it closes especially at Magic Kingdom for EMH but on some nights we don't have anything to do and with PI closed an adult Halloween thing would be fun. I wouldn't like it to be over the top scary either but a TOT themed event would be so fun. Most of the park already has a old time feel so they could do like a movie premier gone wrong type of thing.

Re: Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

I think this would be great. i also think they should open up more rollercoasters and Thrill Rides in MGM and make into a thrill park, well for disney It is already a thrill park

DHS isn't meant to be a rollercoaster park. It has ONE roller coaster. Theme is always first. This ain't no Six Flags. )

I still don't see why roller coasters translates to Halloween. rofl

Re: Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

I would like to see a real haunted house in DHS. That would be fun. Perhaps in a section carved out the Backlot Tour

There's no such thing as a real haunted house. :P

HM and ToT fulfills any haunted desire I have!

Here's an idea. Install MASSIVE projectors onto the Tower of Terror, like the video below (AMAZING), and play it every night. It doesn't even have to be Halloween.

Re: Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

Wow I love the paper being pulled off! The whole thing was amazing. I wouldn't want it every night because I love looking down the street and seeing ToT but that would be so cool for special events.

Re: Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

I remember a rumor years ago about a Nightmare Before Christmas themed Halloween party a the Studios, with Jack Skellington as the host an all that jazz. I would LOVE to see that happen. I don't like the gore of Halloween Horror Nights or Howl-O-Scream, but I don't like the cutesyness of Mickey's Not-So-Scary party, though I can appreciate the effort and aspects of both. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. If they could do something in the middle of the scary-gory/cutesy road, it would appeal to more people across the board. The scare seekers could find something they like and the wusses (like me) could enjoy it as well.

Re: Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

I wouldn't mind them doing a different night in each park to celebrate. Mickey's party at Magic, Horrorwood and maybe different celebrations at the countries in EPCOT. Then sell a park hopper type ticket to be able to experience each one or something.

Re: Disney's "Horror"Wood Studios

They could do something about how each culture honors their dead or something. You know how Mexico has Dias de los Muertos. Once again that would be more an adult thing but if there was a way to do Halloween theme like they do for Christmas in each Country that would be cool.

That would be at Epcot, not DHS though.
