Halloween at Universal Orlando 2020

[sjago13]

For those that are going to go be respectful and responsible or you guys will be the reason they can it.

Knowing how crazy this fanbase can be I'm really worried people are gunna crowd and and be obnoxious and make it look really bad on universal for trying this.

Gotta say it, but that one maze is a total rip off of Knott's Scary Farm... they had a Tooth Fairy maze 3-4 years ago. Pretty blatant rip off.

It's not. Let's not pretend the Tooth Fairy is some original creation. It's been twisted into horror many times. The storylines of both houses are not the same. Same argument was brought up with The Depths/Depths of Fear last year and they were two different houses.

Oh it’s gonna look bad for Universal. But it’s clear after Labor Day they don’t really care about looking bad

I think the trick or treating at IOA is a great idea, and long overdue. It's always seemed logical to make IOA the family friendly Halloween.

Can we separate forums for each house to discuss what they might contain?

yes please

We're trying to figure out how to handle that aspect. Patience, my friend.

Please stop being so negative... They have plexiglass up, a virtual queue and social distancing markers in the house and queue (UO Team). You can’t completely control people, I think they do a pretty decent job with what they’re handed.

Nah. We're in a pandemic. Pretending everything is butterflies and rainbows is massively irresponsible. There's a reason even Universal is only doing this as a test for now. I'm willing to be the forum's resident COVID buzzkill here

I'm debating Sunday, but no chance you'll find me out there Saturday. I do love the Trick R' Treating idea any other year (seriously, it's about time), but this feels like another thing that'll just lead to a lot of maskless kids roaming and eating candy :shrug:

***If it makes it past testing I was really hoping for a weekday offering - but thinking about staffing this may have been an unrealistic expectation. If it’s going to be hard to staff on weekends it’s hard to see them being able to do weekdays as well.

 

[Jengo_Fett]

I also wonder if certain houses will test better based on the layout?

 

[hhn28andbeyond]

Think it’ll make it past this weekend?

I hope it is successful and does well this weekend, both attendance-wise and safety-wise! Would love to attend (and ever since last year my husband has been dying to see Tooth Fairy) but since we're a couple hours away in north FL we'd need more notice to make plans. Hope everyone who goes has a great time.
I also really love the idea of trick-or-treating at IOA--very smart addition.

I would agree if the theme itself was closer, knott's was pretty much tooth themed Hostel with a modern timeframe while this sounds more like krampus with a victorian timeframe, if rumors are correct.
Now Depths of Fear on the other hand, that came off as them just smashing The Depths and Dark Entities from knotts together into one maze.

Think they’re going to allow filming for this?

it seems like they want this to be done pretty quietly, so i doubt it, at least for the first few weeks

"Premier Annual Passholders will get the first crack on Thursday, Sept 18."

Again....with the dates. Why can't anyone in marketing look at a friggin calendar?

 

[Rikku]

Won't be able to go until Sunday. I expect a complete detailed report on best practices to get in virtual line and etc. from all prior day attendees. Lol!!!

If this works, from a business perspective, they should open as many houses as possible.

not necessarily, if they arent charging extra theres a chance theyll be running at a loss just due to operating and cast costs. I wouldnt expect more than 2 mazes to be open at a time, also since limiting the amount is a great tease for whats to come.
