Halloween Horror Nights 2023 (USH) - Speculation & Rumors

[Spookies n' Stuff]

The fact that Murdy has made it clear he is designing this WITH the Orlando team is telling…

to be fair, that seems a lot more standard for headliners now. Did the same with Weeknd and they were pretty similar mazes aside from execution differences on the same concepts.

I'm in favor of the shared development. After Hours Nightmare was the best IP house I've been in for a reason, and it's due to the quality feeling really really good.

Good, always loves some Orlando HHN quality in Hollywood, which it desperately needs.

Hollywood's honestly been pulling their own as far as quality goes ever since they got their budget increase (see Killer Klowns and Monsters last year) though it never hurts to have cross-country collaboration.

I heard from a stunt friend that auditions are happening Monday or Tuesday for an unnamed, unspecified HHN show. I can't find any notice of it. Maybe "in house" only?

Action Horizons was advertising auditions for a seasonal show running through October.

Seemingly using Water World photos too.

Interesting that they're not just using the Waterworld team as it is.

This is the most excited I've been about a HHN show in at least a decade. All it took was to destroy the Castle Theater. That, plus some possible 3D clips in Dreamworks? What a year already and we only know 3 mazes.

Probably not using them so they can still have daytime performances with the regular cast.

It's for the Waterworld show.

You know these two new shows make up for those two repeats we're getting this year. I'm glad they're putting more effort into entertainment and doing something new for DWT. I mean if Knott's can utilize their old Mystery Lodge theater for KSF-specific shows, Universal certainly can with DWT!

I got Express this year for the first time ever! Was able to convince my friends that we should do it. Without buying Early Access (cuz I already caved and spent enough!), is there any tips or tricks? Are there any negatives I should watch out for like FOTL line gets backed up and takes 30 minutes at the Waterworld venue for 7-9pm or something?

Feels kinda weird not having to Game Plan or even think about it, I think I just need to keep my mind busy and thinking about something lol

I got express unlimited so i would like to know what to watch out for too

Kinda bummed to see Insidious The Red Door house is not making it to the event this year. Say what you will about the film but it had enough scenes and a variety of characters like the Red faced demon, MRI scan man, possessed Dalton that could of worked well into making a fun creepy house

 

[HORRORable Commenter]

Decided to pull the trigger and do RIP for the first time! Going opening night for the 7:40 slot! Can’t wait!

Any general tips to maximize my experience to those who have done it?

Do the event before your tour time. Get your credential as early as possible and use the benefits to marathon some mazes. I did every maze before my 830 tour time, which was great since we started with dinner. Also say that the shows aren't a priority for you if they aren't. Traditionally, they'll decide if they'll take you to Jabbowockees last based on interest, might be different this year cuz of the new shows. Also, food is at the moulin rouge. Eat outside if you can and peak the great view. Awesome bathroom there too lol. Ask when the dinner is over (usually an hour) and you can do a maze or two if ya eat fast. Dm if you have any other questions, I've done rip every year since it's resurrection, really the only way for me to do it anymore. Totally worth the investment

It's for the Waterworld show.

Oh. I thought it might be for "The Purge".

Who's to say the Waterworld show isn't the Purge.

The Purge on Water

I love the fact we are getting two shows this year, I really hope the early entry goes smoothly because while it sucks to pay more if it's a way to make it where some guests can buy a normal ticket and do most mazes without waiting too long and end the night with some new shows...it sounds like this could be a very very good year.
Do we have any rumors of fun colorful mazes like Ghost busters, Beetlejuice/Killer clowns?

The Purge on Water

if they don't call this Purge on the Water I will riot

 

[ParksandSights]

How will they alter the Waterworld arena to accommodate a Purge show? Im assuming they cant afford to shut down the daytime show, so will they just add a couple temporary banners and call it a day?
