The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

[Returning-The-Reaction]

Didn't 17 and 19 announce the three major IPs really early?

June. The 3 New Line properties were announced in June of 2007. Dead Silence and The Thing were also announced before July ended. Saw, Chucky and The Wolfman were announced in June of 2009.

17 and 19 seemed like absolutely legendary years love those line ups and whole themed events!

They also quietly mentioned Frankenstein and Dracula would see original reimaginings in the initial press releases, so we had 5 mazes confirmed out of the gate.

The weakest year of the aughts was, arguably, Sweet Sixteen (not counting ICU, since that was 2001). 2008 remains the creative peak for the event, with 2005, 2007, 2009 generally being absolute fan favorites.

I haven't seen it mentioned but Frequent Fear Plus tickets have been added to the UK Universal Studios website.

Not sure if that line is different than usual, ‘...No costumes or costume masks allowed.’

From what I’ve gathered, 10 and 11 were more like the single digits than 12-21. 12 seemed like it was more the start of a new era than 10. Really, you could say that every 2 so far has been a turning point for the event, since HHN 2 was the first year it was called HHN.

So, what would prevent someone from say Florida to buy the FFP through the uk site?

I saw someone on twitter say they require a shipping address in the UK. No email or will call pick up.

Interesting. That would certainly help prevent it. Luckily, I have a family member living in UK right now

 

[ParkRumors]

Why not just wait until they go on sale here?

No guarantee that they will

 

[ultimateforce]

If they are selling them for the UK expect them to be on sale here.

 

[vrajewski]

I’m waiting to hear on RoF. We’re going three nights in September and hoping I’m not shooting myself in the foot by not getting the BOGO tickets. Hopefully we hear something on multi night tickets before July 22

 

[Necessaryevil]

I would imagine if they are on the UK site then they will soon appear elsewhere. Unless they are using this as an incentive to kick start overseas visitors.

I have never used the UK site as we normal get the FFP with express.

 

[brersam]

The UK Site just use a ticket reseller and the FFP tickets have been on sale in the UK for weeks. They are not new. The same site lets you buy an Express Pass or ticket to Blue Man Group this week if you like.

 

[BBPH]

Do we think maybe the FF delay is just because they don’t know what they’re doing with express yet?

There’s got to be a chance they drop it this year.

We never get express on the UK tickets so ours are easily released earlier.

 

[ParkRumors]

There's not really any delay - for the past several years FFP's/Express/regular tickets haven't gone on sale until the Flex ticket offer ended in June. The extension of that offer this year was likely done to drive more sales for that specific product rather than to "figure out what to do with express", as I can't imagine many people were buying tickets in March and April during the height of the pandemic, and Universal was largely unable to market its existence as their focus was elsewhere. Now that the parks are starting to re-open Universal's marketing machine can slowly start back up and they'll still have a great ticket offer to promote for an extra month or so alongside the first few event announcements.

I thought those were just the Sunday to Thursday ones where as this one includes Fridays.
Apologies if I am wrong.

I’m waiting for the Rush Of Fear with express. Hopefully those go on sale soon.
