Halloween Horror Nights 30 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors (2021)

[Lucky Planet]

Right, but this year isn't magically going to change into "more people go on all FFP days". All annual and seasonal passes to all parks and events are set up to be significant discounts from "if they went every day and paid the daily rate".

They're not suddenly going to 4X their price for multi-night when the lowest single-night price only went up by $3. I could potentially see them doing some kind of "bundle and save" and select multiple nights like choosing single night tickets or some kind of weekly or 10 day pass like others have suggested, but I think the most likely scenario is just that they roll with the usual products with about a 10% price increase on non-Express and a 10-20% increase on Express variations.

In my opinion, the only thing creating any doubt now is if they feel they need to limit park capacity more than they had previously expected, but without much in the way of international travelers, I think it will proceed with whatever plan they've had all year. They're really just doing what they always do. Single night comes out first. Multi-night later. Yes, it's later than FFP usually drops, but single night didn't even come out until after the usual FFP drop date. It's not a normal year. All will be fine in the end.

but....
if universal workers are not given access to hhn, then that would make the ffp explode.

How about we just see what does or doesn't happen over the next couple Thursdays and go from there?

If I had to wager the chances of that happening are slim to none. If they're trying to entice people to work for them, cutting benefits isn't going to be a good idea.

The PURCHASE of FFPs will go up. One could argue that the actual attendance by UOR employees would go down.

I’m sure that there are plenty of employees that attend for free, but might not have an interest in paying, or paying for more than one night.

Universal isn't Disney. They're not going to cut perks.

This is a good point to make about a couple of things, but if I am correct they have been cutting down employee perks for HHN.
However, they did not cut perks for customers like Disney did, they actually expanded them.

I gotta wonder if these “no FFP” rumors came from last year. Last year there were rumors that they would get rid but I believe that was to keep crowds down to be a more safe event. I’m sure universal doesn’t want little crowds this year

There's rumors of no FFP every year

 

[graspthesun]

My trip this past weekend opened my eyes to what could be the real downfall of HHN this year, and that’s having enough people to run it efficiently. Might have to bump that starting pay over $15 if they want the parks rolling

I agree. We just raised our starting pay where I work by almost 30% because of staffing shortages and we're still short.

 

[HHN Maddux]

Wait a second.

If we're getting a Shudder zone, and Slasher Season 4 will be exclusive to Shudder...

Could it be?

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

Do we think we'll get an announcement each Thursday for time being? I could see Tooth Fairy being announced alongside the scare zones and shows as well as a more official press release for Puppet Theatre, since I doubt most even remember that. Beyond that I could see individual announcements for Wicked Growth, Carey, Icons, and LT. That would make the last announcement 8/19.

There's like six full weeks till opening week so they gotta up their game. So far here's what's left to announce/post a blog about:

• Tooth
• Icons
• Carey
• Wicked
• Puppet
• Shrek
• All the scare zones
• All the shows
• Tribute Store reveal
• Exclusive food/drinks
• Merchandise reveals
• Jack stuff (mostly CBBR experience)

So not only do I expect we should be getting weekly announcements but we could be getting multiple announcements per week. There is precedent...

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

• Tooth
• Icons
• Carey
• Wicked
• Puppet
• Shrek

Yeah, IDK how they'll handle Puppet.

Oh wow, I am going to explode!

 

[HHN Maddux]

We're 6 weeks away from the event. I think a safe bet is that every announcement from here on is a double, if not maybe even a triple whammy.

Probably with puppets

Agreed, and I'll add we have less than six weeks since the event usually has everything announced 2-3 weeks before opening week. So we're in for a gauntlet of announcements pretty soon.

Ha ha, very funny. I was talking about the announcement.

 

[ChaseTuff]

I could see them doing a big “Originals” announcement and a big “Zones / Shows” announcement the next two Thursdays to have all the content out before August. Multi-nighters probably included in that.

Then a month to just advertise and reveal the tertiary stuff like food, merch, and the commercial.

 

[ssirin88]

Ha ha, very funny. I was talking about the announcement.

Still probably with puppets in a promo video, lol.

I don't think they will dedicate entire announcements for each individual original house. Icons might get its own, but the others will likely part of a group announcement along with the Jack show/Tribute Store/Passes

EDIT: Sorry @ChaseTuff I didn't see your post saying the exact same thing haha
