HHN 2024: News & Info

[Sydney]

Yea. Again. Hi.. worked as USH staff. Fully aware of how it's done, but again.. if you have good communication with the ops staff there is no issue.

A good ops person will hold guests in place to allow a scareactor to pass rather than "keep moving".

My point in sharing that info is that it was rarely ever that way in the years I worked it, which were fairly recent. Not sure how things were pre-pandemic, but I’m providing a more updated perspective from a scareactor POV. I don’t blame anyone either since there was no attempt at communication from either side as far as I could tell.

I can't speak for HHN, but Knotts functions pretty much the same way as you described previously, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's kinda been this way industry-wide for a pretty long time now.
Really seems like it's left up to the supervisors to figure out how to best corral everyone in and out when they need to be, which feels like a big oversight since its unreasonable to expect them to not already be occupied every 30 minutes to an hour when every supervisor I've ever had has been scrambling place to place 24/7. I imagine there probably is a reason why it is the way it is and has never been addressed, but from my limited perspective it seems odd.

The Chucky TV show getting canceled kinda makes me question a few aspects of it being at HHN. Obviously we're in the middle of a season with Late Nite w/Chucky, but makes me wonder if we'll get some good jokes regarding that (highly unlikely, but one could hope). Next, doesn't look like a direct sequel to Ultimate Kill Count will happen. While Chucky will always be apart of HHN and may even have mazes, Terror Tram, I can't recall HHN using a canceled property so I'm not sure we'll see TV show stuff in the future.

To be fair (I know it technically wasn’t canceled) but Chucky was around the event from 2008-2010, in a big—albeit different—way each year. That was 4 years after Seed of Chucky, when they started to consider him a staple.

It’s kinda insane to bring the man kid from the TV shoe opening night and talk about his plot not being finished just to cancel it a few weeks later

I’m going to see it this weekend and see if Chucky will address it

In regards to Chucky... Don Mancini, the creator, already said "Chucky will be back" & it's been known for a while they planned on doing another movie or two, even IF the series was canceled.

We haven't seen the last of the killer doll on screen or HHN..

It's a double-edged sword. Use IPs to bring people in. But if IPs run out, how do you get people back? Guess they should've spent that time innovating with their originals instead of revisiting the same (albeit, highly effective) well.

This is an incredible take.


and talking about the conga line, I think it’s also the guests fault…. Idk if I’m the problem but I always slow down and separate from people. I feel like people rush forward and end up conga lining.

Also everyone who complains about operations, unfortunately if they haven’t gotten it down by now looks like we will keep having problems lol.

If I know it's a guest's first time at the event/that house, I'll purposely pause for a second resulting in them getting the scare when possible.

"Omg. That was scary!" "You're welcome"
