6 Houses in Development Already

      It's the holidays! The time of year when people gather together for dinner and gatherings. It's also the time of year when haunt season is being planned for Halloween, and yet it's not even 2012!!!
       Anyway, new update regarding Orlando and L.A.  First, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is coming to Hollywood!! The new area will NOT replace any existing attractions at Universal, but the Lower Lot will be expanding. This won't affect the # of mazes until the area is open come 2015, but it will affect HHN's budget for Hollywood.
       As for Orlando, it's sad Jaws is closed forever on 1/2/12. Not only they're taking out Jaws, but the whole Amity Area (area where Saws N' Steam was at this past year). With the Amity gone for next year's event, where will the 8th maze be? Will there even be an 8th maze? Strong possibility that there will still be 8, but since Universal is making room expanding Potter where Jaws was at, it's likely that the 8th maze will be in a soundstage.
      Just this past week (via DesigningtheFear), it's been reported that 6  haunted house concepts for HHN XXII have already been decided and 2 more have been brought up. This proves that 8 houses will come back.
    Well, that's all I got, as soon as more info comes, I'll be back.

Project: Rhythm

        Just this past week, we combined and created rhythm using our own created instruments. Mine was a form of a "rocket-type" instrument. I originally planned the two small engines that were taped to the huge rocket to come off, so I can use it as a "dual-type" instrument. But the bottle was leaking.
 (a little brawl after the performance)
        The design felt like it came back from a dangerous trip in space. It had made up alien language with the radiation emblem and the numbers "115". On the front, it said, "ENt3r tH3 MaCHiN3 (sound familiar to a maze?).
        The performance was better than I expected. I think ours was one of the best. Once we tried to combine our groups' instruments together, it turned out perfectly. Once we heard our song, we knew it was perfect. Overall, I think my group did a pretty good job. The only thing to ask is: What's next? What's in store for us come the end of the semester?
