Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UO) - Speculation & Rumors

[Brian G.]

Has anyone heard anything about price increases beyond the "normal" yearly markup? The RoF was roughly 200 bucks last year. I assume the price will go up every year, but will the passes be a bit more, or a whole lot more? I can see a re-balancing at some point.

I'd expect normal increases.

Those new tents are huge and almost a soundstage anyways. I’m just wondering now if Sinners with be in a new tent still or a SS so two IPs aren’t both in new tents. Cybergoria was also rumored in a new tent.

Unless proven otherwise, Sinners is in Tent 3 next to Hellraiser. There have been no other locations that Sinners has been rumored to be in, it's always been one of the big tents. And with the big IP's, it just makes sense to place them at the far ends of the park to spread the crowds.

Also, with three houses opening at 2pm...I think it's pretty safe to assume the three that'll open that early are the big IP's as those are going to be the main draws, Stranger Things, Sinners and Hellraiser. So with both Sinners and Hellraiser back there in Spring 3 and 4, I'd say being able to get that big walk out of the way early on would be quite the benefit! But it would be of no benefit if it was just one house open early.

As for Cybergoria, I think whoever switched up the locations on the HNN spec map got their info crossed with Hellraiser on that one. The main rumor I've heard is Cybergoria is in F&F.

Cybergoria feels like a good fit for F&F. I'd much prefer to see originals In F&F vs IPs anyway!

I have a feeling Sinners will be the most popular house this year. That was a widely loved movie, and not just from the horror fans. Stranger things still has its fans, but I think that franchise hype has died down quite a bit.

To add on to this, I believe the three early houses are Hellraiser, ST and J&O. I’m 99% sure that Sinners is Tent 3 and Cybergoria is F&F. I only say this because the house numbers given to scareactors and crew line up to these locations.

Edit: Just wanted to mention that house and zone numbers aren’t NDA.

Any truth to this? If so I hope not Meg3n or BlackPhone 2. There’s no way they’d throw in Obsession……. Would they?

Flats get reused all the time and are eventually repainted... Aren't they literally building the gazebo that features prominently in the film...?

I think the community would benefit greatly if we started vetting the creators.

 

[Touchdown]

I would think the early houses would all be Soundstages, I doubt they’re going to want to activate both sets of break rooms and makeup locations for the early start, they’re going to want only one half. Also opening the SS houses early means those people will filter to the back half spreading out the crowds. Stranger Things will most definitely be one of them, and another IP that’s in a SS, Hellraiser if it’s there otherwise Ozzy, and I would guess Jack for the fans.

was thinking the same thing, especially if it has the same setup as last year. everyone would be in the back out of the park and not interfering with the regular daytime guests.

Another thing to think about if the new tents are open early is the heat. It's 2pm in Aug-Nov it will be HOT. I know the put a tent up for the queue last year for shade/weather and that will help but they will also need fans at 2pm or it will be hell. A few fans are there already but a lot more will be needed.

And before anyone says well you already wait in lines during the day. Yes, that is true but waiting in HHN queues is different than waiting in the normal day time queues.

So, SS houses will probably be the open ones as their queues are in an AC SS.

Same, can see them on website, but says "not available at this time" when I try to proceed

Edit: Also, cannot see them on the app, can only see them on browser on work computer

Apparently someone saw them earlier priced at $1000 each but then they quickly removed them so guessing they're either glitching or preparing to make them live. At least these prices look accurate so everyone is aware whenever they're able to checkout.

Mine is letting me proceed now

Edit: Bought 2 x FFP plus, $692 incl. tax...sadly no surprise of any multi-night express option (yes, I have read every line of discussion over the last week or so, but still held the slightest hope lol!), so will have to sit down later and look at what dates to choose to add single night express on before they go up in price!

 

[Markus]

Although some are concerned that it could have potentially been canned, despite others refuting it, I agree with those who think the announcement today could be EDB. Just looking at the text and colours, they seem to have a similar style:

Nice work! I got mine last week, buying 3 single nights with express. If I had waited and got ROF, I would have saved $100 for the 2 of us, but I just wanted it all confirmed. No big deal. Plus getting the expresses, who knows if they are still rising like they have. 45 days until my trip and 47 until my first visit back to HHN.

Doubt there's any danger of any of those multi-tickets selling out for those just waking up now.

Not seeing them now!!!

And with the addition of the 5 house R.I.P. Tours, that confirms that Sinners is in a tent as it's on the North Tour along with Hellraiser, Cybergoria, H.R. Bloodengutz and Invasion. (The South Tour is the 5 Soundstage houses.)

 

[HHNSK]

Not seeing them now!!!

Yup they’ve taken them down. Probably will go back up later when officially announced.
