Halloween Horror Nights 34 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[jwbitterman]

Big meh on the three house tour and is it me or has the six ballooned in cost?

Pass.

Is it possible that FNaF got excluded because Jim Henson Company doesn’t want pictures of their trade secrets getting out?

I’m sure there will still be a lot of ‘No Photos’ rooms in the Terrifer and Jason houses, even though they are included in the tour.

It’s more likely FNAF wasn’t included because they anticipated it needing more maintenance during the day.

Forgive me for not being 100%, but wasn't last year's 3-house tour changed after the official opening to include an IP? I could've sworn there was a thing where no IPs could be featured on the tour until the event started.

My tour in October was Museum, Slaughter Sinema 2, and Triplets

So I remembered wrong. Got it.

Feel sorry for the people who can only do the 3 house tour, the 6 house is completely loaded! And yes, the price did go up a decent amount, but don't forget that you get a buffet lunch included. Sure it's going to be nothing to write home about, but with any lunch including a beverage being $20+ in the park, that has to be factored into the price increase.

It’s crazy bc the rip tour food they provide in the Hollywood park was like the highlight of my entire trip. It was incredible. They had multiple carving stations, and more options than I can even remember. It was like - 4-5 star restaurant. Orlando’s vip tour food is ass when you compare the two. Wish they’d improve it for how much you’re paying

Yeah, while it's down to one's preference on what houses they're excited for and wanna' see a tour of, I can't help but notice a good chunk of comments feel the 3 house tour doesn't have the enticement that the 6 house tour has this year. Especially since in the previous couple of years, the 3 house tour had at least one notable draw. Last year had Slaughter Sinema 2, and the year before had TLoU.

This year it doesn't feel like the 3 house tour has a house with that draw. Now yes, it could very well change and those houses are very much a draw once we go through them...but at that point the tours for those houses might not be available by the time we figure that out. A lot of times we have to go with our gut on what tour to do before the event starts.

Grave of Flesh should become the draw…

No need to feel sorry. I'd rather be in control of my food and money. I was super cool with walking to breadbox and getting a sandwich & a beer during the break. Just one poor man's opinion.

The RIP tours food can be decent but I strongly doubt that that's what the six house tour will bring (unless it's RIP tour leftovers!). As an aside, I find the RIP tour to be ridiculously overpriced and hovering near "not worth it" territory - if it hasn't already crossed that line.

We will see. The six house tour is just not worth the cost to me this year.

Enjoy!

Are we getting the most anticipated polls/threads for the houses and scarezones this year? I enjoy seeing the votes and hype lists every year. Thought of making them myself but didn’t want to do it if it was being decided to do away with those.

We will, Brian mentioned this a little while back.

It’ll go up when we get the officially “full drop”

 

[Brian G.]

We’ll get it going today. Seems like they did the full drop without the usual pomp & circumstance.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

Yeah, as others have said - it's a little strange that they wouldn't put 1 IP on the 3 house tour. My assumption was that they've done that in the past to try to influence people to do both!

The gates will still close, the only difference is that S&S is not restricted to an area. There will still be a security sweep. If you are attending, you simply show the wristband and they let you pass by. WDW ops does a very quick and seamless job, so I'm fascinated to see how UOR does it. Their team takes roughly about 45 minutes to do it (pretty exceptional when you consider the busiest part of the park is at the very back)

Yes, the gates do close at 5pm and reopen at ~630 still. The difference is no holding pens.

Got it. I think the earlier rumors about this were that it was gonna be more like Not So Scary where those with eligible tickets could enter and roam freely from 3PM up until when the event officially starts so maybe that's where I was confused.

They sort of already do that, just an upcharge with the Scream Early ticket lol

That's exactly what it is, but the early entry that comes standard on MNSSHP tickets is an upcharge at Universal. (Or unnecessary if you have an AP or day ticket, just like Disney.)

You can choose your own de facto holding pen -- which the house queues will be, starting at 4 -- or simply wander the park if for some reason you don't want to jump in a house ASAP. It's like the trick or treat lines at MNSSHP opened at 4 but didn't start handing out candy until 5:15. The wait is optional, but really the whole point of early entry.

Wouldn't a full drop technically include everything? Like food and such? Or does that just come later?

Bear! Bear! Bear!!!!!

But the gates don't close once Magic Kingdom officially closes at 6:00, right? They stay open while only allowing people with party tickets in. That was the point I was trying to make. I thought the gates would be staying open at USF and they'd allow those with HHN tickets inside the park after 5PM. That would help with the congestion/bottleneck at the front of the park.
