HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

[Tbad556]

I'd say best bet is Saturday honestly. From what I've heard FFP pass nights are the busiest nights of the week.

Doubtful. Saturday Saw was the first house to get a 3 hour wait since 2007.

This past Friday was pretty tame compared to other nights from what the wait times I heard.

Anyone else heading out tonight for the first Wed? I am. I'm really hoping it won't be as busy as the last Thurs/Suns have been. We'll see!

OMG so I just went to HHN this past Thursday (unaware that it was "Hell Week" because I live in Canada) and it was probably one of the worst theme park experiences I've ever had... Packed is not even the word! We only got to see 3 haunted houses which may have been much more enjoyable if we weren't hurded through them like cattle... And I waited in the Saw line for 2 hours!! (it definately wasn't worth it) We didn't even get to see any shows. The one thing we all enjoyed were the scare zones. Specifically Apocolypse. Honestly I would have been happier just having the whole park decorated in scare zones and just going on rides. The houses weren't worth it to me. What really sucks is that I absolutely LOVE Halloween but based on my experience I would never come back. Universal needs to cap the attendance or something because it was beyond ridiculous.
:bang:

Also Rockit was closed on Sunday (the day we went back to Universal) so I didn't even get to do that...

Kind of a bust!

When I go how much money should I bring if I want a souvenir?

 

[Tbad556]

It depends on what you want. The T-Shirts are $20, not quite sure about the other souvenirs.

Does anyone know when the merch comes down in price?

Bring about 25 dollars if you want a souvenir. I'm saying this because its 21.95 + tax. If you have anyone in your group with an Annual Pass, use their discount(Preferred and Premier have discounts. They are around 5%.)

Does anyone know when the merch comes down in price?

I have no idea if merch goes down in price, but if I had the slightest idea, I'd say the day after the event. Maybe. Take that as a grain of salt.

Interesting to say the least.

When I went in '07, the merch was slashed the weekend I was there which was the closing weekend. I'm not sure if it'll be the same this year since the last night falls on Halloween but I'd imagine they'd sell better than the next day with people who didn't attend HHN.

How do we talk to a fictional doll?

That really does suck and I feel your pain because I was there with you that night. I hope if you get the chance to go to HHN again though you will because it really is a great event. Universal definitely did ruin it that night with the crowds, I agree, but most of the time it's not that bad and the houses are a ton of fun and amazing. Hope you'll come back again next year, just plan on earlier in October! :thumbs:

Well tonight wasn't as bad as other nights. The longest wait was Saw of course, at 60 minutes. The cool air definitely helped the fog tonight as it stayed pretty low to the ground. It did wonders for Containment.

I was just about to ask if anyone went tonight and how the crowd was. I'm hoping Sun/Wed/Thu next week will be at least somewhat tame. We'll be on vacation, and I'm hoping to get a good photo trip (and scarezone walk-throughs with our new video cam!!), plus a chance to do all houses and Bill & Ted at least once more each.

Also -- Unmasked Tour on Thursday next week!!

I'm sorry but the Usher is great. Creepy, yet funny.

"I love it, I love it. I slightly hate it." Priceless!

I love when Roddy is talking and he just looks at the dude filming it. Hilarious,

Amazing Angela D you proved a point I have been making the last few years. Casual guest on Non- Peak nights are getting ripped off thinking non-peak is going to be slower. Hell week nights should not be non-peak. I talked to people who went Sunday and said they did stay and scream and saw 6 Houses and no shows. They saw the first couple in about an Hour and then started hitting lines from 30 minutes to 2 hours. And Rockitt was down for them also.

I believe that Universal announced that HRRR would not be open for HHN. I personally think that they should have it open for all the nights because it would help to even out the lines and such.
