Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - News & Information

My honest question is, if they don't have cohesive theming, and I mean really nail it down, then why choose it with the substantial amount of measurable downsides that continue to grow worse each passing year?

because it’s still significantly better at what it sets out to do than its competition, particularly its local competition. is it the best deal for the money? dunno! but that’s the reason to choose it.

I disagree that this is the audience they're gunning for - in fact I'd wager they're banking on the fact that they have this group locked.

HHN Unleashed in Vegas is being advertised as an all encompassing themed attraction. I think it's fair to say Universal sees it as a major strength to their event

I think if they would have leaned into the "punk" theme, it could have given the event a whole different feel. Skull punk guy could have actually been the icon - have some music based zones to wrap that all together. That along with the exact same houses, I think the event could have been much better.

So… MyX. Universal should have done a MyX year.


I’ve been saying…

I think another pain point to put out there is the lack of entertainment in the queue lines. I know people have mentioned it ad nauseum at this point, but when you're in line for a house and all you get is generic HHN commercials, commercials for the other houses and advertisements for express and trivia, it's lazy and leads to a continued disjointed event. That is a quick and simple solution that could literally tie the whole event together.

But merch this year was very meh, tribute store this year was very meh, the event in general like I said before literally felt like marketing looking at numbers and spreadsheets and said "let's just do that." Lastly, HHN is absolutely missing the fun as well too. I know Bill and Ted is never coming back, but that mental break of being scared and then watching something to laugh really brought the event full circle.
