Some people just cant take a joke. Article quoted below with necessary spoilers due to descriptions of Bill & Ted for those wishing to keep such things a surprise.

Exaggerate much...
The GOP are the ultimate "victims"

Some Ignorant people there...WoW!!!!!!

That has to be near the dumbest article I've ever seen.
On another topic what in the world is up with the house's props spraying air at your face this year? Its damn near annoying and not scary. Stop it, Universal. Just stop.

Agreed!

Was a big fan of the early Silent Hill video games...so this seems like a must do out of pue curiosity

Good to know the GOP is all about truth and justice!

Use the link below and take Universal's HHN survey and make your voice heard!! Who cares if you haven't attended the event. Just fake it until it gets to Bill & Ted's feedback and let them have it. If enough people complain, maybe it'll do some good. Can't hurt to try, can it!

And could this Republican backlash threaten all this Universal expansion????

Every dollar Americans spend on the entertainment industry just emboldens them to pump out more trash like this. Don't think for one second that "Well, it's just entertainment." It isn't. It's Leftist poison. Vote with your wallet. Stay away from entertainment industry propaganda.

please note that last summer was the last time my entire family will go to universal...totally wrong and i hope you feel the heat..

we were planning a 3 generation vacation ,much of that was to be Universal but we will be changing that plan now . There are better ways to spend our money.

I DEMAND that you IMMEDIATELY stop the "Bill and Teds Adventure" skit at Universal Studios themeparks that defame Mitt Romney while praising Obama. This skit is disgusting and childish. I will not stop spreading this message and will boycott ALL the following companies: Universal Studios, Disney, NBC, ABC, HULU, E! Channel, Syfy Channel, Telemundo, Bravo, Golf, Oxygen, The Weather Channel, Marvel Studios, Touchstone Films and ESPN, among others.

oh....ha ha ha that's funny...right? Not!!! the shoe would be on the other foot if it were vice versa right? Universal Studios used to be, I repeat, UsED to be my favorite place to take the family. No More!!!! I've had it with these over-priced theme parks putting their foot in their mouths, giving opionions in a place that it should not be!!!! I for one, will not vote for Obama....I will not vote for detroying our fine country,,,, My vote will be for ROMNEY...someone who puts American 1st!

:drama:

Universal will be a better place without every single one of those people in it.

Tonight was freaking crazy again! It's almost not even fun this year. I did 4 houses and bailed, and I have express for crying out loud. Cooper was posted at 60 mins at 7. TWD was at 120 by 8, and everything else at 75-90 for the night. Hell even DM was at 20 mins.

I left a little after 9 so not sure how bad it really got. Also of note House of Horror has moved into my second favorite house behind Gothic.

I've been told by someone that there was a glitch in their Express system that resulted in not being notified once they had "sold out" of Express last night, so they ended up over selling by a lot. It was to the point where the Express line for Mummy was out the door and it was a shorter standby wait, for one example. I wonder if they had that problem again tonight?

 

[Andy]

I waited up to 35 mins for express tonight.

House of Horrors is my second favorite as well, but Dead End is my number 1.

I would have complained, that's absolutely nuts.

Agreed. I still enjoyed myself, and creatively I thought they did a good job, but crowd wise it's a nightmare. Really hurt my enjoyment.

 

[rhino4evr]

ugh..you guys are making me nervous about going. Was going to buy tickets today. Do not want to spend money for express. Is it worth it? Or is it just a clusterF.

Tell me about it. We are going Friday the 26th and sorta of expecting the worst hearing all these horror stories. I dont plan on getting express either but will be ready to go in the Stay and Scream area once they let us loose. Crowds or not im excited to go and will make the most out of it

 

[rhino4evr]

ehh..from all the reviews I ve read Im thinking about biting the bullet and buying the express pass. It's RIDICULOUS, that the express pass is more expensive then the ticket...but I guess I should just be happy Im getting the Florida Resident Discount in the first place.

Ugh...since it closes at 12 on Sunday, I think the only possible way to see all the houses is to buy the express pass.

Much the same boat here, 4 houses done (without Express), ended up leaving around 9. It was a strange crowd, definitely very "amatuer." By 6:20--apparently they opened the main gates at 6:00 according to people in the Gothic line--half the switchbacks in the Bone Yard were full, but everything in the back of the park stayed slow until about 8. Between 8:00 and 9:00 things went from "crowded but not as bad as last week" to "insane."

Also, right with you on HoH going to #2 behind Gothic. Feels like a completely different house from when it opened. My only complaint at this point is the orange shirts who insist on standing right in front of the Nosferatu window. It's a great set piece, why do they block the view of it?

Sadly, Alice Cooper has gone down in my opinion, and was flat out horrible last night. Not sure if it was because of a cast change, but at least three major characters were missing (2nd black widow, jock, final ringmaster Cooper). Those who were there made zero effort to scare anyone. I don't think the nurse moved once as I conga lined slowly through her room, and the cheerleader just paced back and forth, not even looking at anyone. Not to be a conspiracy nut, but I really hope this isn't a subconscious or conscious response to the mace assault earlier this weekend.

FYI, closed at 1:00 last night. Which just means they expect Sundays to be more crowded now, but still.

 

[rhino4evr]

so what's the average wait WITH an express pass?

HoH was #3 for me. Terrific house with a GREAT cast.

But Cooper was consistently terrible when I went through it the weekend I was there. Just very bland and uninteresting, with a cast that was completely phoning it in.

Generally, 15 minutes. Penn & Teller and Walking Dead back up the most.
