Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[kingdomofaustin]

I went 9 nights last year with no express at all and was able to do at least 7 house runs each night, usually more. Express isn’t needed if you play the cards right.

the no express clan for life

17 years without express and counting

IDK, once you go Pass you never go back!

The money makers are the "single-day" vacationing folk, not the FFPers with Express.

And to clarify - all the passes that are sold out are the “with Express” option. All Frequent Fear passes without Express are still available for purchase.

While I agree the single-day tickets are critical (although I still think that's more locals than out-of-towners, even today), anyone dropping $1100 on a 2-month theme park ticket is a "whale." They're buying a ton of merch, every variant probably. They're buying all the themed food and drinks. You need to let them give you money; otherwise, you turn into Disney.

For what it’s worth, there’s discussion on discord that a couple of people just called customer service and were told that there will be more passes available soon. Didn’t say when, just that there would be.

A tactic to push those people who would normally buy an Express FFP to book the Premium Night?

 

[ReelJustice]

Damned if you, damned if you don’t. I’m happy they are (possibly) doing something.

To be fair I went back 2/3 times, but probably won’t go back after getting it last year

So nothing for monsthers?

Nothing for Monsters--just like last year.

Makes you wonder why they didn't opt to do a Exorcist like element, of doing a Orlando dump paired with both a major Blumhouse IP (in this case, Insidious) alongside the UM house.

 

[Chumpieboy]

I’m a fan and steadfastly believe going through a house more than twice is too much.

Makes no sense.

Do you do that with music/movies/books that you like as well?

 

[Lucky Planet]

who is buying their ffp today?

Shame because not only did Legends Collide have such a simple but fun and effective trailer, but Bride of Frankenstein Lives (which this year's UM is rumored to be a pseudo-sequel to) is one of the best house trailers they've ever done.

Fair.

I think the real issue is not saying that there will be limited quantities. I'm glad they are treating Express like the luxury it should be, but a heads up would've been a better pill to swallow.

 

[Automaticsack]

If I had a heads up i wouldn't have waited till lunch to pull my wallet out :,)

 

[Parkscope Joe]

The solution is to create a system only the fans can exploit and screws over the normal guests, finally making Universal into Disney!

 

[Legacy]

Makes no sense.

Do you do that with music/movies/books that you like as well?

Generally, yes. Books, I almost never read more than once. The rare few I’ve repeated had a decade between reads. Obviously, there are movies and TV show episodes that I’ve seen dozens of times, songs and albums hundreds, but I try to severely limit the frequency of which I repeat them. I never feel the urge to do something more than twice back to back. Any more than that it becomes noise and looses whatever made it interesting and engaging in the first place.

but you can watch that movie or that song any time you want. in the next 10 Years and beyond.

you can ride the same Disney rides for decades,
over and over no matter what

hhn houses are a once per year and they're done.
it's not the same.
it's like if you could only watch lord of the rings for one year and it stops existing.
