Halloween Horror Nights 2013

[DisneyInfinityFan]

Hi guys,

I've bought HHN tickets for my boyfriend as a surprise- he's always wanted to go, whereas I'm a scaredy cat and have always avoided it! Anyway... I don't have the tickets in hand yet and I'm wondering how I could present them as a gift? Any ideas?

My idea is don't tell him anything until you pick up the ticket. When you are going to pick up the ticket, keep him away from the ticket booth. Ask him to let you handle the ticket pick up or purchase and ask him to do something. Buy something or take a picture of something or wait at the turnstile. Just keep him away. He may get suspicious. You can then say something like "I have a special gift for you" once you have the ticket in your hand.

the ROF hhn ticket will be valid for the dates listed for it on the website.
it is your admission ticket to hhn.
it is a multi day hhn ticket.

you do not need a day ticket for hhn.

you only need a day ticket if you want to be in the park before it closes and use the holding area which we call the stay and scream area.

Thanks Macraven! It just seemed too good to be true I figured it must be an add on to a day pass or to the $92 hhn pass. Been 12 year as since I was at hhn and we are finally going back! W are going to be there the weekend of Sep 27-29 so we will just get the ROF pass and then it won't matter what night we go and we hae the option of going more than once! Woo Hoo!

Sorry....one more question. I already have a day pass (through airmiles, not purchased) and we have an hhn ticket, can we stay in the holding area until hhn starts or do you need a specific stay and scream pass?

Hello!

I've never been to HHN but will possibly do it this year. I'll be on a business trip and everyone we are traveling with is hellbent on this event.

3 things throwing me off... 1st, the price tag. We won't have time to do the park during the day, since we will be at work, so it will only be the event only, one day only, general admission ticket. Any way to get around the $92 price tag??

2nd... I'm a scaredy cat. I don't like people chasing me, grabbing me, or jumping out at me. I will say, in the name of good fun, I will put up with it. But I will take an easy route if there's any available... Is there a place to escape to if it becomes too much too handle? And are there guides to help you if you are truly uncomfortable?

And 3rd... What else is open in the park, if anything, during these hours?? Any rides or restaurants? I mean, for $92 it would be nice

Feedback will be greatly appreciated!!

Undercover tourist has a discounted single night HHN ticket.

You want to also look at the multi day tickets (depending on which day you will be there) because some are cheaper than a single day.

I'm thinking about going this year. I will say I'm kind of a scaredy cat, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to handle it since I know it's all in good fun. I've read they can't touch you and you can't touch them. So that actually helps me lol. Last time I was at a haunted house was in middle school about 15 or so years ago. I went to same place twice first time I wasn't that scared, second time I was with different friends then first time and most way through I was fine then during one part saw one of my old co-worker(people working house were volunteers) and during that part I laughed while my friends took off. I didn't want to be alone for last part so I took off after laughing. So hopefully this will be like the first time no problems with maybe just a boo type scared. I'm usually more scared to watch really life events like boy in the strips pajamas(really story).

Yes. Because you have a day pass and a hhn ticket, you won't need to leave the park and will be able to wait in the stay and scream holding area.

There are two holding areas are normally the street by Finnegan's (which is open through the transition) in the New York section of the park between Mummy and Transformers, and around KidZone, which they may move into Springfield this year (because of Moe's)

sounds like a plan!

enjoy the studios that day and don't leave the park when they announce the closing at 5:00.
go to the holding area and your rop/hhn ticket will be scanned by a TM.


last year i was in line at 4:55 for ET.
they cut the line off at 4:59.

didn't get off the ride until 5:35.

i showed my hhn tix to the TM when they told all the guests they had to leave the park.
was escorted to the holding area instead.

Wasn't there also one over near Despicable Me last year? I usually stick to the main holding area but heard about the third one.

there was.
i used that holding area one night.

when finnegans holding area was full, you were sent to that holding area.

we are going on 9/28 which is a ap special night. In the past we were let in to three houses early. I did not see that listed on the website this year. Did they do away with this perk?

You might be talking about the passholder party...they haven't announced anything yet but since you have an AP, you can always do Stay & Scream. Just be sure to be in the park prior to closing at 5PM.

I'm an AP holder and was looking to buy the Rush of Fear passes for this year. When I asked customer service about the different packages, they had mentioned the Express Pass add on. When it was explained to me, they said that the Express Pass was able to be used multiple times for the event. When I look at the Universal website, they say that the Express Pass can only be used one time per house. Does anyone know if that one time is based on a single night or do you only get the one time across all nights that are part of the ROF package? When it was explained to me, it seemed too good to be true and I asked the customer service woman a few times to clarify and she kept saying it was "unlimited".

I'm still planning on getting the ROF package, but would think twice if I could only use the pass one time per house over the course of the days for ROF. Any help is appreciated!

 

[Metro West]

I've never heard of unlimited Express for HHN...ever. She is waaaaaay off base. The EPs are only for once through each house and attraction.

BTW...did she mention a price?

 

[kyzman]

She did quote the price that is in line with what is posted on the Universal HHN page, which according to her, was "about $100 more than the RoF ticket alone".

 

[mischief32]

Ticket covers you getting to use the express pass once per house per night that the ticket is good for. We had the ROF plus express pass last year and used it for 3 days. It is not unlimited express pass like you can go in the houses over and over in a night.

i'm glad you posted that.
many assume that the express pass for hhn is unlimited which it is not.

So, if I buy the Express Pass, I can use it on the same house, but on different nights? I'm dense and I just want to be sure.

Yes...the EP will reset for each night.

Awesome! Thanks for the clarification.
