Halloween Horror Nights 31 (UOR) - News & Info

[Bort]

Is it just me or is that "we are the sinners, we are the saints" song played on the park loop once every 20 minutes?

My brain has been warped by how many times I heard "ANOTHERRRR WAY OUUUUTTTT"

There's a couple cool tracks this year, but nowhere near as good as the synth wave of 29 or the metal of 30 IMO.

The rockabilly punk ish music around the park is kinda cool but ruins some of the zones.
I like the music but 8t is a very odd choice. It totally ruins the pumpkins area by shrek

Sorry to double post: kids in front of me at legends collide just got scolded by Ops on the way out for point their hands and phones at a wolf man like a gun and yelling threats at them. Ya hate to see it.

Some observations after 3 nights:

• Stay & Scream feels incredibly well run so far this year. Very impressed at the organization and some of the new changes they've made to try to make things smoother.
• I've received queue "tickets" probably 10 separate times now and not once have they been collected. A bit of a mess here.
• Really loving how silent/uninvolved the ops in the houses are this year. Super refreshing.
• I continue to be surprised at how bearable The Weeknd lines have been.

What is a queue ticket? I saw someone handing out yellow carnival style tickets in a line but didnt see what they were

That's a queue ticket, they give them out at the beginning of the line and have someone at the end of the line taking them so nobody can line jump. They tend to only go into use when a line is expected to be long but it varies. I had them at Weeknd and at Halloween, but only Halloween had someone at the end taking them, not weeknd. It's all kinda weird.

The express lines are an absolute mess at Blumhouse and chupacabra. Like what ratio are ops working with at these? Waited 40 minutes for Blumhouse express with a posted standby wait of 55. Unacceptable.

I have only heard one ops member say anything in a house and I’ve been here since Wednesday, and it was the house with the longest/slowest line of the night that night. They almost even seem to be *enjoying* watching people admire the sets and scares and stuff. Nice change.

Is that like everyone gets a ticket or was it a way to measure/verify the queue length?

I miss the horror movie/Nox Arcana/Midnight Syndicate music around the park

The best way I can explain the park music this year is.....clunky

 

[krazyhorrorkid]

I thought the tickets were for return times if people had disability passes?

Everyone gets one, they ask every group how many are in your party and give you that many tickets. That said, I think they really need to work on letting people know how important it is to not lose them, since they really didn't say much in the cases I saw where they were handing them out. I imagine at least a handful of people lost them and were forced back to the end of a 40+ minute wait.

I think it's more of a generic deterrent than an actual checked ticket. I was never asked to hand mine in at the front of the house in any of the 20ish runs I had opening weekend. Lines would back up so much if ops had to check every number at the entrance.

Two weird things happened last night.
Weeknd went down for about 30 mins last night but they never updated it in the app until it almost came back up. Not sure what happened but annoying they were not communicating anything.

We were behind someone in line for monsters that had two dogs in a stroller and they took them into the house. Like wtf.... My friend and I stepped to the side at the entrance to let them get ahead cause I didn't wanna deal being behind that. Honestly that just seems cruel to the dogs to put them through all the flashing lights and loud noises.
