Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

[RedRightDan]

Obnoxious. A race to be "first". Nothing more.

And also, about as least creative as he/she could possibly be.

Supposed to be one of the slowest nights of the event, perhaps the slowest. Fingers crossed, since that's the one and only night my wife and I are going!

Good to hear. My girlfriend and I are still on the fence, but the prices don't look too shabby either.

It's a Countdown to November 11th or as in 10 months until the next HHN.

This coming Friday is UCF Night at HHN so if you're coming, just expect to be surrounded by a lot of college aged kids acting like fools.

Yep...this is my life... :bang:

That's... actually really smart. Horror Knights can be a major hindrance for the enjoyment of the GP. Doing it in November drives attendance on a night that would otherwise be dead while improving the experience for most of the GP.

Likely the smartest decision this year.

 

[Lucky Planet]

pure genius. wow that move is so perfect because it guarantees big attendance on that dead day. I knew Bill and Ted fans will crowd the park Saturday, but i expected friday to be dead. so this is really interesting

DANGIT NO!!!! I wanted this Friday to be dead :'(. I'm taking my mom's boyfriend that night and it's his only night to go. Do you think express will be the best option then?

 

[Lucky Planet]

i had planned to take some people as well but I kinda applaud Universal for doing this as the rest of the month felt really good without them and felt more chilled. But i don't think the lines will get that crazy.

Yea hopefully most of UCF says "why would we go in november?"

Wouldn't that then put the first night on a Tuesday? Unless that's the employee preview night next year.

Seems like kind of a dumb countdown if you ask me...although the 11th is my birthday if anyone was planning on getting me anything.

I wonder how much of a draw this will be. Looks like tickets are still $60 for them.

 

[csmith5599]

Wasn't hell night originally in reference to the week when everyone is out of school in Orlando?

Also, does anyone know if one can use tickets purchased by a UCF student even if they're not a UCF student? I have some friends at UCF who aren't going, would love to snag cheaper tickets.

Finally, do people anticipate Friday or Saturday to be more crowded? Is the final day usually busy?

1. Yes. Hell Week is Columbus Day weekend. In the past, it was also the first five day week for scaring. Horror Knights (UCF Night) is different and, this year, will likely not be insanely busy.

2. Maybe? I don't recall the rules on it. They'll be posted at UCF Student Services in the Union.

3. With Friday being UCF night, that will be more crowded. The final night of HHN, unless it's actually Halloween and it falls on a Saturday, is rarely that busy. It's mostly hardcores in attendance and, this week, they'll all be in line for Bill & Ted.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like the tickets sold at UCF are GA tickets anyone can use, so that works out.

It being UCF night will definitely make it more crowded, but I'd say some money on the tickets...decisions, decisions.

How have the lines been for the rides?

 

[Lucky Planet]

Rides never get long lines. men in black or transformers simpsons never go pass 15 minutes most days.
Only rip ride rock it gets long lines

Last weekend at its most crowded, mummy was 55, simpsons was 45, MIB was 30, and Rockit was 95. It really depends on the night.

 

[SeventyOne]

I know UOR's internal predictions were low for this weekend--less than half even a typical September/early October night. But ... with Knight Night tonight. And, anecdotally, at least three groups of out-of-town friends in Orlando for the event. And that AP-only B&T show tonight. I do wonder if they are underestimating the crowd.

 

[MattA]

I do wonder if they are underestimating the crowd.

I certainly hope not. Atleast after 10 express will be cheap tonight.
