Halloween at Universal Orlando 2020

[Speed]

Tooth Fairy has an extra socially distanced queue leading towards the entrance..
hmm...

I can't even pretend to be surprised that Day 1/Preview Day of a "test" event for HHN, thrown together at the last minute, with only 2 houses instead of the usual 10, while pulsing to socially distance, would be busy

 

[JawsVictim]

Please remember with regards to scares today. This was, literally, the first time the performers were in these houses with anyone other than themselves.

They didn’t even do a Cast A / Cast B tech rehearsal?

 

[TheGentTrent]

Are they just letting people reach in and grab the candy themselves? If so, yikes.

 

[Legacy]

(That’s “themselves.”)

You and I both know the fifteen minutes it takes for the tag-outs to walk through is nothing.

Ok, revoke my HHN card. I waited 1.5 for tooth fairy and at least that long for bride.. I'm done. Pass expires next month and I won't be back. Too much for me. Its been fun but time to move on

May I ask why this caused you to quit? Not at all disrespecting your decision, just curious

I’m shocked you actually went at all! Better man than I am, Gunga Din!

I know its silly to ask so soon, but does anyone know what music is used in the houses? Fav part of the houses is always the choice of music.

Give it some time. I know some people are working on it as we speak.

 

[Living Dead Dude]

Is this true?

 

[ultimateforce]

Went today, don't want to spoil it till the real opening day tomorrow. It was amazing.

 

[Speed]

Doesn’t really need to be said, but after today be prepared to wait tomorrow. I clocked TF at a 90 minute wait and Brides at about 50. They were both worth it though

 

[Tobias]

Is this true?

Considering they corrected their post, probably not.

 

[Magic Feather]

Am I the only one that found the figures of the Scarecrow Stalk to be... rather dark for what is effectively a kids scavenger hunt? Same goes for the art direction on the Trick or Treating signage.

I am getting old and very sick of Florida heat after 20 years here. I had hoped the wait would be minimal but I guess everyone in Florida has a premier pass. I can't fault Universal it is just me. I would never wait for a house like that in a normal year and to do it in the afternoon not evening/night was too much for me. I felt it through lightheadedness and muscle cramps even though I was drinking water.

I cannot see a situation that I would pay to put myself through that. I can move on without the parks with memories of what I experienced there. I'm afraid I would replace those memories with ones of hardship and turmoil with no fun. Planning on moving out of state soon so maybe the regionals will provide a diversion.
What did that director say in the Kincaid movie?

 

[ultimateforce]

This might sound like I am being flippant, but have you brought an umbrella? That is the game changer for me waiting in the heat.

I haven't seen a photo of the one in Super Silly Stuff, but here's the one inside of Spongebob Storepants and...

...yeah, that may be a bit too grim for a store in Kidzone.

A warning for any who do decide to see the houses. Bring ice water, don't do alcohol until after. I saw a half dozen people being attended to in and around the TF queue by medical and I didn't attempt Brides due to the full sun. Bring an umbrella, water, ice if you can, hat etc. It can sneak up on you fast. Those wheelchairs were getting a workout
