Halloween Horror Nights 34 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Brian G.]

Same amount of weekends, just "technically" starts earlier in the year due to the date the Labor Day weekend falls on.

Exactly 1 day earlier.

We’re beginning in August again.

I'm honestly curious if this means we get a house announcement next month. For HHN 31 and HHN 33 we got a house announcement a month or so after the dates reveal.

I know we have to start earlier this year with announcements especially with everything going on, but there is just no way.

Nah my nightmares started a lot earlier than that

Why? Lol

I'm very curious to see how announcements are handled this year. Will they try to get some of the big stuff out early so they can have all of March and April to promote EU?

Or do they wait to announce stuff until after EU has been open for a month or so?

Will be very interesting to see. The last thing you want is to tie a HHN IP into Epic Universe marketing/media.

I wouldn't be surprised to not hear until June. Of course, this is a company that loves to change things last minute so who knows. Bookings at hotels can be down Sept-Oct so they might push announcements earlier.

Feel like they could at least announce Last of Us to tie in with the TV show, no?

Honestly? I think we could see most of the houses announced by end of April, since May and probably June-early August will all be dedicated to Epic hype/promo.

I’m in line with this thinking. My guess would be 5-7 announced by around mid-April. May, June, and half of July all Epic. Then end of July-August the remaining houses and scarezones.

Gives you some HHN hype/excitement before and after Epic. And still gives you a solid two months of nothing but Epic.

Honestly? I think we could see most of the houses announced by end of April, since May and probably June-early August will all be dedicated to Epic hype/promo.

I'd go the other way, everything all about Epic through June, then start announcements in July to drive hype and excitement for HHN and the resort (including Epic) for Fall. I don't want this to be true but I would bet on them wanting as few competing projects or distractions as possible from now through Epic's first month then try and drive as much traffic to the resort as a whole. The creative teams doing the promos for the announcements need time to do the work and I would think they are all busy prepping their content for Epic. Once they are done with that they could move on to HHN and other normal stuff.

Announcing houses in March doesn't drive the general public to your event in Sept/Oct. It would only be for die hard fans and lets face it we are going regardless.

Not sure if this is an error or if it’s intentional, but the calendar on the “Seasonal Fun” page has Tuesday, September 16th listed as a HHN night and Thursday, September 18th has no HHN.

Perhaps there’s some sort of private event/park buyout that Thursday, or alternatively, maybe that night is the return of Premium Scream night? Personally, my main complaint last year was how it felt like a preview, so doing it a bit later when all the actors have found their groove might make the experience a bit better. Thoughts?

Regarding the date, HHN has had buyouts before so it could be possible.

I do agree however that a premium scare night should be held at the "sweet spot" of HHN's cast. Ideally in the 3rd or 4th week.

My gut feel on this was that they want a way to profit off of the influencers more than anything else given that they're there for media preview night anyway.
