Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

…….Mary Poppins house confirmed?!

I thought FFP go on sale near the end of July???

If there even is a next one. The event is so close that announcements are going to have to start being a heck of a lot more frequent, meaning there’s almost no reason for another map.

Also, I just want my Monsters announcement as these other IPs we know what to expect (assuming they all come to fruition), but we don’t know much about Monsters apart from it being set in Paris.

So we have three shared IPs left to be announced: Stranger Things, The Exorcist, and Universal Monsters. Universal is now in the position to announce all three of these over the next three weeks, week by week. It might sound crazy, but it really lines up perfectly and it would roll us right into Midsummer Scream with one of the Originals over in Hollywood being announced.

Which would then lead us into August with a bunch of announcements for both Coasts. The next few weeks could be crazy.

Don’t sweat the FFP.

Don’t sweat the FFP.

How much should we sweat the prices?

 

[TheCodeMan95]

So we shouldn't sweat the FFP... but what about ROF?

I can see universal using midsummer scream as the universal monsters house announcement or like you said a Hollywood specific house

FFP/Multi-Night tickets are not going away... but I've been predicting, especially after last year, that blackout dates will be more prevalent along with other changes and ridiculous price increases. Even though attendance is down, they still increased APs by $100... so HHN will probably see that as well.

Not asking you to burn any sources, but ... specific dates like Opening Night and 10/31, or more general, like Sundays?

ETA: I don't think too many would be bummed if Hell Week was blocked out, as an example.

I would think it would be an original since their Midsummer panel is not until 4 pm PST so i dont think universal orlando want to wait until 7 Pm est to put out theirs

I'm fairly certain Murdy stated that an Original would be announced during the panel. July 30th will pretty much be a day for Hollywood only.

EDIT: Murdy Tweeted that a house would be announced during Midsummer, but didn't clarify whether it will be an IP or an Original, but I think it's safe to assume it will be an Original house.

Usually but anything can change

We did it guys, we made it to the "will they kill FFP this year????" Part of spec season! Opening night is getting closer and closer!!

Hey I never bought multi-night tickets before (hopefully) this year, so I'm new to this level of panic

last year had a pretty big panic and a big worry for price increases, but the price increase ended up only being about $50 on average i believe, taking into account every pass type? I wouldnt worry too much about it. Universal has also upgraded their new HHN model for passholders in the past 3 years (food stands, improved merch, merch drops) so it wouldnt make a ton of sense for them to do away with ffp, so I would not stress.

It's kind of impressive that we manage to have this same discussion every year with no reason to assume it, without it ever coming to fruition, and with insiders always saying over and over again that it's not happening.

-runs back to hide in the construction thread where real, tangible things are actually happening-

The thread is healing... speculation was the real virus

 

[FaceBagman]

Guess I should rob that bank quick so I can snag my reservations before the post-announcement flurry of booking hits

 

[Brian G.]

Well, it def will be going up in some capacity - but we’re already breaking the bank at this point. The sweating should’ve started during the Walking Dead era lol.

 

[Killer Klown]

At least this year they can pretend to justify it by saying “Hey we’re giving you (arguably?) our strongest IP lineup yet plus houses based on dueling dragons and Oddfellow. So it’s not like we’re feeding you bread crumbs here!”

Sure, they’ve been boiling the frog. I’m just concerned they’ll throw caution to the wind and turn up the temperature about 100 bucks all at once.

That analogy fell apart.
