Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[TheCodeMan95]

@Tomfoolery didn't specifically say F&F is closing on 8/30.

Is an August opening possible? Sure, especially with it being Labor Day weekend, but I'd rather see Universal save an August opening for the 35th.

We should hopefully find out soon enough!

Why the 35th?

 

[TheCodeMan95]

Why the 35th?

Yeah, if they followed that it would go:

2024 - September 6th
2025 - September 5th
2026 - August 28th

Would feel kinda random and out of nowhere imo lol

So they can add the "More Nights Than Ever/For The First Time Ever" schtick on top of it being the 35th anniversary.

Jack the Clown returns to HHN ORLANDO for their 35th anniversary with an all new ride! "DARK TORMENT: SUPERCHARGED DESCENT INTO HELL"! Fun for the whole family in Eye-popping 3D!

.....I shouldn't joke, we all know they've got Jack on standby for every other anniversary year

I would assume if using queue it would need to close prior to the event to get the queue ready and stay closed longer than the event.

Even with an August 30th opening this year, the event would run less less nights than last year. An August 30th - Nov 2nd run would be 47 nights, compared to last year's 48.

Yeah, but I still think "For the first time ever, Halloween Horror Nights will begin in August" should be used during HHN 35. Imo, I think it would be cool to reach a milestone like that during an anniversary year.

I don’t think you’ll see a lot of anniversary hype for 35…

HOT TAKE INCOMING: If this is potentially a sign that they're switching to anniversaries being every 10 years, I think that's actually fine. Anniversary years are super fun, don't get me wrong, but having one every 5 years I think would make them feel less special and start getting slightly overdone.

Thats fine. They botched the 30th for me. So anniversary years are "meh" now haha
(2005 was my first year, I was eagerly awaiting the next "Season of the Queen")

I don't think they even know what's coming for 35 but, IMO, besides Anniversary years being done to death now, 35 isn't that big of a deal. 40 has a better shot, but even then, I don't think they would. I wouldn't be surprised if HHN 50 is the next anniversary year (and they'll finally add that 11th house).

 

[Wesker69]

(and they'll finally add that 11th house).

It'll be a 3 park event! Studios, IOA & Epic!

Gotta make MK's 50th look like a terrible afterthought ....oh wait. The apocalypse covered that.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

Personally, when they have the decision between an 8/30 opening and a 9/6 opening, they're going to go with 8/30.

I can't see them wanting to push opening night back by a full 5 days (and like @ParkRumors said, losing, 4-6 nights vs only losing 1)

What’s the betting line on this?

I could maybe see "25 Years of Jack" or something (assuming the Jack v Eddie rumors this year don't come to pass), but I don't think it benefits an "edgy" event that caters to the 25 and under crowd to highlight the fact it's becoming middle-aged. "HHN 40 -- yeah, your parents used to get scared by chainsaws too!"

Wasn't the rumor for Jack V Oddfellow? Did I miss something? lol

 

[Legacy]

I am not aware of any actual rumors involving Jack.

A whole lot of wishful fan spec, but no actual rumors.

Have you heard anything about a possible icon at all or is it too early yet to know something like that?

 

[Wesker69]

A whole lot of wishful fan spec

Real HHN fans do NOT wish for that over-used, spotlight hogging clown to return for at least 100 years
