[HHN23]/La Llorona Coming to Universal Orlando?

UPDATE! We were right! Click here for the official announcement!

Well, I'm not so sure on this one. However, the folks on Universal's Facebook page seem to be in near unanimous decision on this one. So far they've been pretty good at picking out all the clues...this time though, even the Twitter crowd is agreeing.

That said, I'm not so sure about this one (neither are folks on FB or Twitter). It's was done for HHN at Universal Hollywood in 2011 and 2012. Sure, bringing it over for the East Coast folks is a nice touch, but it seems like treading water and not really bring much new to the table. I mean it has been done before, just not at Orlando. That's not exactly new, even if it was one of the best received mazes at the Hollywood event.

For those not familiar with the legend of La Llorona, here's a quick run down:
The story is about a woman drowning her children to be with her lover, just for the lover to get rid of her, she kills herself, but can't enter the afterlife because she is without her children, and she is condemned to search for her children on earth.
Anyway, here's the evidence that points to this being the first announcement during HHN Reveal Week, this image coupled with the Spanish quote of "¿Dónde están mis hijos?" (Where are my children/boys?) does have a strong case...


I see a few similarities there, but for me...it's not quite enough to say for sure that it's going to be this. Obviously the poster from last year's HHN at Universal Hollywood wouldn't be used exactly, so they'd have to come up with something new. That said, there are definitely a few similarities between them despite that. 

Other ideas? Mama (one I think would be cool to see) or even The Orphanage could be possibilities, but I'm guessing that the quote in Spanish is the dead giveaway here. The recent Twitter update also points to this whole "water theme" going on...




Either way, only 4 hours til we find out for sure!
