Can't sleep, so went ahead and did some analyzing into the construction going on for HRR's replacement and combining it with the rumor that most of the soundstage houses will be entering by Minion Mayhem and splitting off at a hub (not unlike Bloodlines and Goblins), and as utterly chaotic as it seems (along with LOTS of foot traffic in one area), this is the best I could come up with for how it might work:
- Black - The path to WWE and soundstage house portal hub
- Orange - WWE
- Red - Terrifier
- Green - Grave
- Purple - FNaF
- Dark Red - El Artista
- Yellow - Exit for WWE, FNaF and El Artista
- Light Green - Exit for Terrifier and Grave of Flesh
As you can see, the normal route for the soundstage houses through Jimmy Fallon and past the library facade are almost completely blocked off now by the construction fence for RRR's replacement, and if they stay this way, the only way past the library facade to SS24 and SS25 would be through a very active back-of-house street, which would be impractical. So what do you do?
El Artista keeps the normal entrance for SS22 in front of the music plaza, WWE (for the most part) retains the normal route for SS23A (Blood Moon/Monstruos), but the other three start at a hub between SS19 and SS20, where the portals will then split off and for two of the houses, exit as well. It'd be an operational nightmare (something Legacy has alluded to seeing this year on Bluesky), but it'd be doable.
Now you might realize the proposed routes also go through a back-of-house street, however, as you can also see here, that road can be divided with a fence that will separate lines and where vehicles drive, not unlike how the original parade building worked. Chaos, but doable.
Hope y'all are ready to get some good cardio in this year!
