10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.960
This message is from Philip Pernandez, publisher of the Haunted
11
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.200
Attraction Network. Between Midsummer's Scream and earnings week, this issue
12
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.920
is dance a few observations to guide you through it.
13
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.039
Disney six Flags in the United Parks dropped earnings this week,
14
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.320
and the news is positive overall for our industry. After
15
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.200
the softness described by Universal They's experiences segments at fiscal
16
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.959
third quarter records for both revenue and operating income, six
17
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.079
flags new leadership is successfully re orienting the company towards
18
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.359
repeated visitation. Yes this quarter, its debt cost than its
19
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.359
parks earned the upcoming Halloween season with four hundred and
20
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.719
forty eight Halloween themed experiences and one hundred and seven
21
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.599
mazes from coast to coast should supercharge that strategy. United
22
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.079
Parks showed fewer guests but higher spending and management, pointing
23
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.719
to the new Sony licensed haunted houses and early hellow
24
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.079
screen ticket sales as opportunities for the next quarter break down.
25
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.480
All three calls in this week's Green Tagged Insights and
26
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:46.560
the Halloween bets On sees Universal has quality reputation, but
27
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.319
six Flags now operates the most haunted mazes in the world.
28
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.480
One hundred and seven added into parks that already have
29
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.200
infrastructure and passholders. I wrote in July that operators with
30
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.000
permanent locations, infrastructure, and scale play by a different set
31
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.200
of rules, and one hundred and seven mazes is what
32
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:10.479
those rules produce. In Orlando, Universal has original mascot in Hollywood,
33
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.199
they're leaning into films, particularly independent films, where they have
34
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.560
more leeway. Art the Clown returns of the whole narrative
35
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.560
built around him. The terror Tram becomes every day in
36
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.080
art miss framed as a twisted children's story book with
37
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.120
original music by Ice nine Kills Kilsenera. The new Original

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.280
House has got original score by Slash and the event's
39
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.840
first ever singing villain, and they got obsession into the park.
40
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.000
Fast Fans sent creative director John Murdy a video of
41
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.120
director Curry Barker saying he loves the event, and a
42
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.360
character encounter came together immediately. Two weeks ago, we wrote
43
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.520
about the IP wars, and Hollywood is running a middle
44
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.159
path license the indie film where you can still create
45
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.680
then build original on top thirteenth floors, making format moves
46
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.000
in both of its La Fi flagships. Festival Fright Nights
47
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.479
at Winchester, Mystery House is evolving into an actual festival
48
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.360
rather than a linear experience, the same shift we covered
49
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.639
when Scared House rebuilt its season a round a hangout.
50
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.120
The La Haunted hay Ride is running its most ambitious
51
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.879
trail upgrade in years, adding a drive in scene choreographed
52

them into a scare experience. When the demented Killer arrives

to the historic Universal backlot with his blood soak bag
69
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.000
of presents, he realizes it is too early for Christmas
70
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.199

84
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.319
Slash scored HJN Hollywood's kil Sineira House and its villain
85
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:30.279
sings an original song. At Universal's Midsummer Screen Panel, creative
86
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.959
director John Murdy revealed kil Sineira Music by Slash, an
87
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:39.000
original house that twists the traditional quincignia into a revenge
88
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.360
horror story built around a character named Lola. Slash of
89
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.759
Guns n' Roses composed the score, which builds to an
90
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.519
original song called fifteen Candles that the house's villain, Lola performs.
91
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.800
Murdy framed the house around the song's message, This house
92
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.160
is for all the people who were ever bullied and
93
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.879
wanted to take revenge, she said. The Spanish lyrics, he said,
94
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.519
turn on the idea that the moment of suffering lasts
95
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.319
a lifetime. The house is going up in the Parisian
96
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.639
courtyard at Universal Studios Hollywood, rebuilt as the burned ruins
97
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.879
of Lola's home with a purpose built balcony where Lola
98
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.240
stands above guests as they walk underneath her to enter

HJN Hollywood adds Nicky from Curry Barker's Obsession. Halloween Horrorites
100
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.720
Hollywood in Universal City, California will hide a character somewhere
101
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.959
in the park this year, and finding her is part
102
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.439
of the point. At Universal's Halloween Horrorites panel at Midsummer's Cream,
103
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.319
creative director John Murdy teased a character encounter based on Obsession,
104
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.920
the horror film written and directed by Curry Barker. Its
105
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.800
villain Nicky, is loose in the event without a fixed
106
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.199
spot on the map. Murdy kept the specifics to himself.
107
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.920
I'm not going to give you all of the details today,
108
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.439
but what I can tell you is Nicky is out
109
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.279
there somewhere, he said, describing a where's Waldough type mentality
110
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.519
for guests trying to spot her across the park. He
111
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.720
added that she might be looking for her next obsession.
112
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.600
Amikuma is going chain wide this Halloween with a Vegas
113
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.399
stage show in new merch Amikuma, the gut Spilling Bear,
114
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.920
who started as a Universal Studios Japan scar Zone character
115
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.920
in twenty twenty one, will appear at every Universal Studios
116
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.680
theme park for Halloween Horror Nights this fall, plus Universal
117
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.920
Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas, Nevada. While most of the
118
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.680
appearances will be more meet and greet in nature, Universal
119
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.040
Horror Unleashed will utilize the character in an all new
120
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.639
live stage show running through September and October. Halloween Horror Nites.
121
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.439
Merchandise twenty twenty six. Every item price and store date
122
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.040
Universals Halloween Horrorites twenty twenty six Merchandise reaches stores over
123
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.639
three weeks this month, and most of it lands in
124
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:52.079
the park rather than online. Universal Studios Hollywood starts August thirteenth.
125
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:56.759
Universal Orlandos Tribute Store opens August twenty sixth. Online stor
126
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.639
is running ahead of both. The partial assortment available now.
127
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.519
Six Flags plans one hundred and seven haunted houses for
128
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.079
this year's Halloween. Six Flags told investors on Thursday that
129
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.600
it will run four hundred and forty eight Halloween themed
130
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.680
experiences in one hundred and seven haunted mazes across its
131
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.439
park this fall. Eleven of the mazes new for twenty
132
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.600
twenty six, with four new horror ips to be announced
133
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.199
in about two weeks. CEO John Riley called it America's
134
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.600
biggest Halloween party and said no one's doing anything in
135
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.680
this kind of scope, in this kind of geographic range,
136
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.440
with this many attractions. The count spans every Halloween brand
137
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.799
under the company's umbrella, including freight Fest at the Legacy
138
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.720
Six Flags Parks, Halloween Haunt at Dorney Park, King's Island,
139
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:44.320
King's Dominion and Canada's Wonderland, Not Scary Farm, Hollow Weekends
140
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.240
at Cedar Point, and Scare of Winds. Why does a
141
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.480
park chain Bettett's fall On Haunts. The park already runs
142
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.320
all day rides, the staff, the food, the service, the land,
143
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.559
and the operating calendar are paid for, whether or not
144
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.519
October has mazes in it. Freight Fest and its sibling
145
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.039
events Layer Haunted Attraction Actions onto that running infrastructure at
146
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.480
Dusk sell the mazes through a separate Haunted Attractions pass
147
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.840
on top of admission passolders already hold, and Riley Total
148
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.120
analysts the commercial team is improving upon a Halloween event
149
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.960
upsell experience this year. Halloween is also the company's next
150
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.759
test of pulling passolders across parks. It has been sending
151
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.679
regional invitation to visit sister parks, and Riley said, we'll
152
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.519
do the same for Halloween. What it means for Independence
153
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.879
cuts two ways, and we are not sure which way
154
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.559
it nets out. The case for a squeeze a season
155
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.279
pass makes another Halloween night closer to free for the
156
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.840
family that holds one and one hundred and seven mazes
157
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.080
is a lot of capacity and a drive a lot
158
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:44.200
of markets aimed at the same October weekends every Haunt needs. Alternatively,
159
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.639
the case for a rising tide six flags will market
160
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.559
Halloween at a scale no collection of Independence can match demand.
161
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.879
Says data that the season is stretching and the appetite
162
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.879
is real, and cross park pass travel could put more
163
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.559
out of market visitors in Haunt regions before. Either way,
164
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.120
the working question for an independent does value a single
165
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.279
attraction at a single price point now competes with an event.
166
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.720
A passholder family has effectively already paid for, so the
167
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.960
season's work is building an experience worth the trip and
168
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:19.159
saying clearly what makes it worth it. Diablo Haunted Mazes
169
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.440
are coming to Cedar Point and King's Dominion. Six Flags
170
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.679
is bringing Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo to Cedar Point in Sandusky,
171
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.759
Ohio and King's Dominion in Doswell, Virginia this fall with

Six Flags Magic Mountains twenty twenty six Flight Fast adds
176
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.200
Final Destination and a Werewolf Maze. Six Flags Magic Mountain
177
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.279
has revealed its full twenty twenty six Flight FST lineup,
178
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.440
led by two new Haunted mazes, a Final Destination maze
179
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.399
built around the film franchise, and Wolfe's Blood does by
180
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.720
a creator from not Scary Farm. This year's lineup includes
181
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.559
seven mazes, seven scare zones, and plenty of undead entertainment.
182
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:12.399
Final Destination Death's Playground drops guests into the film series,
183
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.320
where as the park puts it death itself is the antagonist.
184
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.840
Guests are chased by death through the maze, and six
185
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.320
Flags hinted at graphic effects wood shippers are just not
186
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.480
fun to look at. The maze extends the park's ongoing
187
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:29.240
partnership with Warner Brothers. Wolfe's Blood is original and comes
188
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.639
from not Scary Farm designer Gus Krueger acting as a
189
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:37.080
guest collaborator cross park pairing in the Southern California haunt scene.
190
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.639
The story follows a remote town called daylight's En, secretly
191
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:44.399
home to werewolves and an underground werewolf rock band Wolf's
192
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.600
Blood playing its first show at the Grand Valdonian Theater.
193
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.759
Per the park, guests move from the town's bus stop
194
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.879
through ransacked stores and barrooms, and passed an abandoned cemetery
195
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.799
to reach the concert. Krueger built in a record store
196
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:02.159
called Rainbow Records and brought back bar Red's Revenge from
197
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.879
an attraction that stood in a building before Truth or Dare,
198
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.360
along with the overhead jumper effect. Fans new from that

maze Q two theme park earnings and what they tell
200
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.639
us about the consumer. Disney six Flags in the United
201
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.240
Parks dropped earnings this week, and the news is overall
202
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:21.519
positive for our industry after the softness described by Universal Disney,
203
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.960
the record Disney's excellent Q three earnings gave hope to
204
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.000
an attraction industry struggling with a challenging macro environment. More
205
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.120
guests came, they spent more in the experience of segments.
206
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.559
At fiscal third quarter records for both revenue and operating income,
207
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.799
Domestic attendance grew three percent per capita, spending grew four percent,
208
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.919
and CEO Josh Tomorrow said the parks are performing significantly
209
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.000
better than our competition. Asked about its domestic promotions, Tomorrow
210
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.759
described discounts designed to reach a specific guest and that
211
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.840
could be a valued customer. Maybe we're going after a
212
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.759
local resident, then pointing to four percent per cap growth
213
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.240
as proof the company is certainly not discounting our way
214
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:06.600
with volume growth reached down for volume, reach up for yield.
215
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.039
United Parks The Squeeze United Parks Q two shows fewer
216
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.080
guests coming but spending more, while costs rose faster than revenue,
217
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.799
so profit dropped much harder than revenue did. Attendance fell
218
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.960
two point nine percent to six point one million guests,
219
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.639
revenue fell one point four percent, and net income fell
220
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.200
twenty one percent. In park per capita spending rows five
221
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.919
point one to a record thirty nine dollars and fifty
222
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.720
one cents. Will Admission per capita fell one point eight percent.
223
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.960
The guests who came traded up inside the gate, while
224
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.519
the gate itself got cheaper. The company kept buying backstock
225
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.279
twelve point one percent of its shares in six months,
226
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.519

eight million on December thirty first six flags the strategy
228
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:57.039
and the balance sheet. Six flags new leadership is successfully
229
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.559
re orienting the company towards repeated visiting. At this quarter,
230
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.960
its debt cost more than the parks earned. The strategy
231
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.639
of getting more pass holders to attend more often and
232
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.879
spend more, and thereby increasing lifetime spent is working. Revenue
233
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.519
and attendance were up adjusted for the divested parks, and
234
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.559
the upcoming Helloween season with four hundred and forty eight
235
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:23.200
themed experiences from coast to coast should supercharge that strategy.
236
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:27.000
Yet while the parks made money, the company still posted
237
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.919
a loss due to its debt. Running the parks cost
238
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.120
eighty eight point six million dollars of operating income, up
239
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:36.120
from seventy four point five million. A year ago. Interest
240
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.200
on the company's debt cost another one hundred and two million,
241
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.360
and the quarter landed at a twenty point one million
242
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:45.759
dollar loss before taxes. The two hundred and three million
243
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:49.840
headline losses mostly is mostly one hundred and fifty seven
244
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.360
point four million dollar tax change and accounting catchup tied
245
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:56.639
to the park sales not a bill. Six Flags paid
246
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.840
four and a half million in cash taxes in the
247
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:02.799
entire first half. Same park revenue, attendance and EBEDA all grew.
248
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.240

00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:35.119
Helloween now spans a thirty year and anticipation is the product.
540
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:38.880
Hershey has released. Its unwrapping Helloween stated. The season report
541
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:42.680
built on a Morning consult survey of threeenty twenty six
542
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:46.319
US adults fielded July eighth through tenth, and its central
543
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:48.920
claim puts a number on what this season has looked
544
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:51.920
like from every direction. Helloween has evolved into a season
545
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:54.480
spanning a third of the year rather than a single day.
546
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:58.279
Reports of the consumer research in Herssey's own shipment data
547
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:02.119
tell the same story, become a season, not a single night.
548
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.720
Or she has a name for the economy we've been
549
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:08.480
describing all year, treatonomics, a consumer trend in which people
550
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:12.960
prioritize joyful, memorable experiences and generosity over simply chasing the
551
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:16.079
lowest price. Guests are still spending on Halloween, but they're
552
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:19.360
looking for memorable experiences to connect to, even if it
553
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:23.559
costs a little more. Value matters reports. Tradition section carries
554
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:27.599
the header traditions not nostalgia, and puts the mechanism plainly.
555
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.480
The candy people grew up with is becoming the candy
556
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:33.960
they passed down. That mechanism is the nostalgia trend, and
557
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:38.039
it's the same generational memory engine behind Michael's building six
558
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:41.440
nostalgia themed to car collections and the vintage to core
559
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:44.400
wave we have covered all season. What her She's framing
560
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:48.000
usually separates is the behavior from the feeling. Nostalgia is
561
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:50.599
the sentiment, and the tradition is what happens when that
562
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.000
sentiment gets scheduled, repeated and handed to your kids for
563
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.639
an attraction or a retailer. Traditions book themselves every year.
564
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.320
Nostalgia has to be resold buying the past. They're buying
565
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:03.800
the thing they do every year, and your haunt can
566
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:07.199
be that thing. In memorial, the haunt industry warns the
567
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:10.679
loss of Randy Bates. Randy Bates, longtime owner of the
568
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:14.239
Bates Motal and Haunted Hay Ride in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania,
569
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:17.000
has passed away at age sixty eight following a battle
570
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:20.119
with cancer. In an August eighth social media post, the
571
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:24.800
Haunted Attraction Association detailed many of his additional contributions to
572
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:27.840
the haunt industry. In nineteen ninety seven, he helped found
573
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:32.480
the International Association of Haunted Attractions IAJA as a board member.
574
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:35.960
In twenty twenty three, he helped found America Haunts, a
575
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:39.079
group of the largest haunted attractions around the country. In
576
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:43.159
two thousand and seven, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania began requiring
577
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:45.960
haunted house owners to take a safety course pass an
578
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:48.519
inspector's test. He was asked to help write and put
579
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:53.199
together seminars to specific haunted attractions. In twenty ten, Randy
580
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:56.760
was a member of the Haunted House Association AHJA and
581
00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:00.360
helped form the merger of the IAAJ and AJA JAY
582
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:05.000
into what became the Haunted Attraction Association the HAA in
583
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:08.320
twenty eleven. As an experienced hay ride operator, Randy and
584
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:12.199
other Pennsylvania operators developed the hay Ride Safety Standards, which
585
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:15.440
went into effect in twenty twenty. His peers has described
586
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:18.079
as dedication and passion, as well as how quickly he
587
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:20.719
offered to help anyone that asked for advice. Randy is
588
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:24.320
survived by his wife, his six children, more than twenty grandchildren.
589
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:27.679
We at the Haunted Attractions Network center condolences to his
590
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:31.679

00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.960
This message is from Philip Pernandez, publisher of the Haunted
11
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.200
Attraction Network. Between Midsummer's Scream and earnings week, this issue
12
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.920
is dance a few observations to guide you through it.
13
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.039
Disney six Flags in the United Parks dropped earnings this week,
14
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.320
and the news is positive overall for our industry. After
15
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.200
the softness described by Universal They's experiences segments at fiscal
16
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.959
third quarter records for both revenue and operating income, six
17
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.079
flags new leadership is successfully re orienting the company towards
18
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.359
repeated visitation. Yes this quarter, its debt cost than its
19
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.359
parks earned the upcoming Halloween season with four hundred and
20
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.719
forty eight Halloween themed experiences and one hundred and seven
21
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.599
mazes from coast to coast should supercharge that strategy. United
22
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.079
Parks showed fewer guests but higher spending and management, pointing
23
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.719
to the new Sony licensed haunted houses and early hellow
24
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.079
screen ticket sales as opportunities for the next quarter break down.
25
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.480
All three calls in this week's Green Tagged Insights and
26
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:46.560
the Halloween bets On sees Universal has quality reputation, but
27
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.319
six Flags now operates the most haunted mazes in the world.
28
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.480
One hundred and seven added into parks that already have
29
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.200
infrastructure and passholders. I wrote in July that operators with
30
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.000
permanent locations, infrastructure, and scale play by a different set
31
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.200
of rules, and one hundred and seven mazes is what
32
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:10.479
those rules produce. In Orlando, Universal has original mascot in Hollywood,
33
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.199
they're leaning into films, particularly independent films, where they have
34
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.560
more leeway. Art the Clown returns of the whole narrative
35
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.560
built around him. The terror Tram becomes every day in
36
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.080

37
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.120

first ever singing villain, and they got obsession into the park.
40
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.000
Fast Fans sent creative director John Murdy a video of
41
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.120
director Curry Barker saying he loves the event, and a
42
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.360
character encounter came together immediately. Two weeks ago, we wrote
43
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.520
about the IP wars, and Hollywood is running a middle
44
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.159
path license the indie film where you can still create
45
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.680
then build original on top thirteenth floors, making format moves

00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.000
in both of its La Fi flagships. Festival Fright Nights

at Winchester, Mystery House is evolving into an actual festival
48
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.360
rather than a linear experience, the same shift we covered
49
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.639
when Scared House rebuilt its season a round a hangout.
50
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.120
The La Haunted hay Ride is running its most ambitious

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.319
Slash scored HJN Hollywood's kil Sineira House and its villain
85
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:30.279
sings an original song. At Universal's Midsummer Screen Panel, creative
86
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.959
director John Murdy revealed kil Sineira Music by Slash, an
87
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:39.000
original house that twists the traditional quincignia into a revenge
88
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.360
horror story built around a character named Lola. Slash of
89
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.759
Guns n' Roses composed the score, which builds to an
90
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.519
original song called fifteen Candles that the house's villain, Lola performs.
91
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.800
Murdy framed the house around the song's message, This house
92
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.160
is for all the people who were ever bullied and
93
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.879
wanted to take revenge, she said. The Spanish lyrics, he said,
94
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.519
turn on the idea that the moment of suffering lasts
95
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.319
a lifetime. The house is going up in the Parisian
96
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:09.639
courtyard at Universal Studios Hollywood, rebuilt as the burned ruins
97
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.879
of Lola's home with a purpose built balcony where Lola
98
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.240
stands above guests as they walk underneath her to enter

HJN Hollywood adds Nicky from Curry Barker's Obsession. Halloween Horrorites
100
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.720
Hollywood in Universal City, California will hide a character somewhere
101
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.959
in the park this year, and finding her is part
102
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.439
of the point. At Universal's Halloween Horrorites panel at Midsummer's Cream,
103
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.319
creative director John Murdy teased a character encounter based on Obsession,
104
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.920
the horror film written and directed by Curry Barker. Its
105
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.800
villain Nicky, is loose in the event without a fixed
106
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.199
spot on the map. Murdy kept the specifics to himself.
107
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.920
I'm not going to give you all of the details today,
108
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.439
but what I can tell you is Nicky is out
109
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.279
there somewhere, he said, describing a where's Waldough type mentality
110
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.519
for guests trying to spot her across the park. He
111
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.720
added that she might be looking for her next obsession.
112
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.600
Amikuma is going chain wide this Halloween with a Vegas
113

114
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.920
who started as a Universal Studios Japan scar Zone character
115
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.920
in twenty twenty one, will appear at every Universal Studios
116
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.680
theme park for Halloween Horror Nights this fall, plus Universal
117
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.920
Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas, Nevada. While most of the
118
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.680
appearances will be more meet and greet in nature, Universal
119
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.040
Horror Unleashed will utilize the character in an all new
120
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.639
live stage show running through September and October. Halloween Horror Nites.

Universals Halloween Horrorites twenty twenty six Merchandise reaches stores over
123
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.639
three weeks this month, and most of it lands in
124
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:52.079
the park rather than online. Universal Studios Hollywood starts August thirteenth.
125
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:56.759
Universal Orlandos Tribute Store opens August twenty sixth. Online stor
126
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.639

127
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.519
Six Flags plans one hundred and seven haunted houses for
128
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.079
this year's Halloween. Six Flags told investors on Thursday that
129
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.600
it will run four hundred and forty eight Halloween themed
130
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.680
experiences in one hundred and seven haunted mazes across its
131
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.439
park this fall. Eleven of the mazes new for twenty
132
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.600
twenty six, with four new horror ips to be announced
133
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.199
in about two weeks. CEO John Riley called it America's
134
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.600
biggest Halloween party and said no one's doing anything in
135
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.680
this kind of scope, in this kind of geographic range,
136
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.440
with this many attractions. The count spans every Halloween brand
137
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.799
under the company's umbrella, including freight Fest at the Legacy
138
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.720
Six Flags Parks, Halloween Haunt at Dorney Park, King's Island,
139
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:44.320
King's Dominion and Canada's Wonderland, Not Scary Farm, Hollow Weekends
140
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.240
at Cedar Point, and Scare of Winds. Why does a
141
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.480
park chain Bettett's fall On Haunts. The park already runs
142
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.320
all day rides, the staff, the food, the service, the land,
143
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.559
and the operating calendar are paid for, whether or not
144
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.519
October has mazes in it. Freight Fest and its sibling
145
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.039
events Layer Haunted Attraction Actions onto that running infrastructure at
146
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.480
Dusk sell the mazes through a separate Haunted Attractions pass
147
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.840
on top of admission passolders already hold, and Riley Total
148
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.120
analysts the commercial team is improving upon a Halloween event
149
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.960
upsell experience this year. Halloween is also the company's next
150
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.759
test of pulling passolders across parks. It has been sending
151
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.679
regional invitation to visit sister parks, and Riley said, we'll
152
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.519
do the same for Halloween. What it means for Independence
153
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.879
cuts two ways, and we are not sure which way
154
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.559
it nets out. The case for a squeeze a season
155
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:34.279
pass makes another Halloween night closer to free for the
156
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.840
family that holds one and one hundred and seven mazes
157
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.080
is a lot of capacity and a drive a lot
158
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:44.200
of markets aimed at the same October weekends every Haunt needs. Alternatively,
159
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.639
the case for a rising tide six flags will market
160
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.559
Halloween at a scale no collection of Independence can match demand.
161
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.879
Says data that the season is stretching and the appetite
162
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.879
is real, and cross park pass travel could put more
163
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.559
out of market visitors in Haunt regions before. Either way,
164
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.120
the working question for an independent does value a single
165
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.279
attraction at a single price point now competes with an event.
166
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.720
A passholder family has effectively already paid for, so the
167
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.960
season's work is building an experience worth the trip and
168
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:19.159
saying clearly what makes it worth it. Diablo Haunted Mazes
169
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.440
are coming to Cedar Point and King's Dominion. Six Flags
170
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.679
is bringing Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo to Cedar Point in Sandusky,
171
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.759
Ohio and King's Dominion in Doswell, Virginia this fall with
172
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.320
the maze Diablo for the Internal Path Hell. The weekends
173
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.480
at Cedar Point run September seventeenth through November first, on
174
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.720
select dates. King's Dominion has not published its Halloween Haunt dates.
175
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.320
Six Flags Magic Mountains twenty twenty six Flight Fast adds
176
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:49.200
Final Destination and a Werewolf Maze. Six Flags Magic Mountain
177
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.279
has revealed its full twenty twenty six Flight FST lineup,
178
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.440
led by two new Haunted mazes, a Final Destination maze
179
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.399
built around the film franchise, and Wolfe's Blood does by
180
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.720
a creator from not Scary Farm. This year's lineup includes
181
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.559
seven mazes, seven scare zones, and plenty of undead entertainment.
182
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:12.399
Final Destination Death's Playground drops guests into the film series,
183
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.320
where as the park puts it death itself is the antagonist.
184
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.840
Guests are chased by death through the maze, and six
185
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.320
Flags hinted at graphic effects wood shippers are just not
186
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.480
fun to look at. The maze extends the park's ongoing
187
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:29.240
partnership with Warner Brothers. Wolfe's Blood is original and comes
188
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.639
from not Scary Farm designer Gus Krueger acting as a
189
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:37.080
guest collaborator cross park pairing in the Southern California haunt scene.
190
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.639
The story follows a remote town called daylight's En, secretly
191
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:44.399
home to werewolves and an underground werewolf rock band Wolf's
192
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.600
Blood playing its first show at the Grand Valdonian Theater.
193
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.759
Per the park, guests move from the town's bus stop
194
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.879
through ransacked stores and barrooms, and passed an abandoned cemetery
195
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.799
to reach the concert. Krueger built in a record store
196
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:02.159
called Rainbow Records and brought back bar Red's Revenge from
197
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.879
an attraction that stood in a building before Truth or Dare,
198
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.360

200
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.639
us about the consumer. Disney six Flags in the United
201
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.240
Parks dropped earnings this week, and the news is overall
202
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:21.519
positive for our industry after the softness described by Universal Disney,
203
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.960
the record Disney's excellent Q three earnings gave hope to
204
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.000
an attraction industry struggling with a challenging macro environment. More
205
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.120
guests came, they spent more in the experience of segments.
206
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.559
At fiscal third quarter records for both revenue and operating income,
207
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.799
Domestic attendance grew three percent per capita, spending grew four percent,
208
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.919
and CEO Josh Tomorrow said the parks are performing significantly
209
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.000
better than our competition. Asked about its domestic promotions, Tomorrow
210
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.759
described discounts designed to reach a specific guest and that
211
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.840
could be a valued customer. Maybe we're going after a
212
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.759
local resident, then pointing to four percent per cap growth
213
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.240
as proof the company is certainly not discounting our way
214
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:06.600
with volume growth reached down for volume, reach up for yield.

re orienting the company towards repeated visiting. At this quarter,
230

its debt cost more than the parks earned. The strategy
231
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.639
of getting more pass holders to attend more often and
232
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.879
spend more, and thereby increasing lifetime spent is working. Revenue
233
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.519
and attendance were up adjusted for the divested parks, and
234
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.559
the upcoming Helloween season with four hundred and forty eight
235
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:23.200
themed experiences from coast to coast should supercharge that strategy.

Helloween now spans a thirty year and anticipation is the product.
540
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:38.880
Hershey has released. Its unwrapping Helloween stated. The season report
541
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:42.680
built on a Morning consult survey of threeenty twenty six
542
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:46.319
US adults fielded July eighth through tenth, and its central
543
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:48.920
claim puts a number on what this season has looked
544
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:51.920
like from every direction. Helloween has evolved into a season
545
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:54.480
spanning a third of the year rather than a single day.
546
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:58.279
Reports of the consumer research in Herssey's own shipment data
547
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:02.119
tell the same story, become a season, not a single night.
548
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.720
Or she has a name for the economy we've been
549
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:08.480
describing all year, treatonomics, a consumer trend in which people
550
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:12.960
prioritize joyful, memorable experiences and generosity over simply chasing the
551
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:16.079
lowest price. Guests are still spending on Halloween, but they're
552
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:19.360
looking for memorable experiences to connect to, even if it
553
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:23.559
costs a little more. Value matters reports. Tradition section carries
554
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:27.599
the header traditions not nostalgia, and puts the mechanism plainly.
555
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.480
The candy people grew up with is becoming the candy
556
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:33.960
they passed down. That mechanism is the nostalgia trend, and
557
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:38.039
it's the same generational memory engine behind Michael's building six
558
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:41.440
nostalgia themed to car collections and the vintage to core
559
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:44.400
wave we have covered all season. What her She's framing
560
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:48.000
usually separates is the behavior from the feeling. Nostalgia is
561
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:50.599
the sentiment, and the tradition is what happens when that
562
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.000
sentiment gets scheduled, repeated and handed to your kids for
563
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.639
an attraction or a retailer. Traditions book themselves every year.
564
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.320
Nostalgia has to be resold buying the past. They're buying
565
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:03.800
the thing they do every year, and your haunt can
566
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:07.199
be that thing. In memorial, the haunt industry warns the
567
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:10.679
