Halloween Horror Nights 31 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[ssirin88]

Looks like a candy stand popped up in NY and some lanterns in the trees for Central Park!

Major Sweets lol. I can imagine there will be a food stand with his products.

This is oddly worded - so this is the photo op? Or is the Swizzle Lounge going to be themed to the Monsters?

Both.

It seems like all the zones have some tie back to classic Halloween...Scarecrows, Barns, Pumpkins, Graveyards

I love the consistency and it's a nice break from the...odd...zones last year

Brings me great joy to see the event returning to having just about everything tie into an overarching theme/story!

Yes, I'm a big fan of cohesion, I think it makes the event stronger, even if it's subtextual in nature

I liked some elements from the unified park scare zones of '07 and '12

I think '08 actually pulled the unity off the best however

I kind of wish it was open to pass holders. I can't visit the experience because all the UO hotels are sold out when I go.

I was actually considering Dockside/Surfside for next year's trip.. but I don't wanna miss out on this stuff lol

2007 was flawed & incomplete, but great
2009 .....tried..
2012 was kind of a mess, but great
2013.... we don't talk about Bruno TWD

2008 was amazing, but 2005 would also like a word with you :tease:

Meanwhile in Hollywood the only cohesion we get are black wallz & "Z's" :deadhorse:

You can still access the Cabana Bay stuff if you stay at Dockside/Surfside, you'll just have to make it over there. My understanding is any valid hotel key gets you in.

Can confirm. Did it last year while I was staying at Hard Rock.

I really wanted to like 2005, but it just didn't hit for me. Body Collectors really carried the year and the rest was...eh

I think 2005 is looked at more fondly because of its concept rather than its execution (zones, houses, etc)

2013 is a good lesson in not enough variation among the cohesion. And at that point Walking Dead was already tired

I also really don't understand how or why Hollywood doesn't get more money, it seems like it pulls great numbers

What Clive said; and to add on - Cabana just gets priority access, kinda like Express.

Okay, what was up with these ride operation rumors for HHN? I know they're likely baloney but I'm really curious now what the rumors were.

I believe the rumors going around were if mummy isn’t open by HHN a popular islands attraction was gonna have a cut through path from 9:30-12:30 to make up for that. Yes probably false.. just strongly going around right now. Can’t lie would love to see how it’s pulled off… just doubt it for this season

Flight of the Hippogriff would be amazing at midnight and well worth the 25min walk to get there!

Flight of the demogorgon

Okay yeah that is CLEARLY bogus. There is no way they would have a giant stretch to walk from the park allllllllll the way to IoA just for one ride. Even if they considered doing that, they would have to have at least one house or something to incentive guests the trouble of making that long trek to IoA. That's so impractical it's laughable. There's no way Mummy won't be open by then.
