2015 Universal Studios HHN Discussion Thread w/Dates & Prices

[keishashadow]

Hoping that there are some fans of Hollywood's HHN that could share expert opinions on this year's HHN offering.

Long time vet of USO & their HHN, I'm excited to finally be experiencing Hollywood's version in October! Have done research but have found information to not be as readily accessible as for Orlando's version.

I was eagerly looking forward to splurging on what seemed to be a really great VIP experience this year...

NOT!!!

they are only offering Front of Line tix this year at a sharply increased price point. FOL is not unlimited, restricted to 1 run thru per attraction. Hoping they don't sell 'too many'.

I plan on being @ the gate early and hope to get thru all the mazes/scare zones. Have been on the tram and enjoyed but during regular park hours, still trying to wrap my head around how it works during HHN.

Looking for input as to best usage of the VIP. I know how to judge the crowds in MCO and chatter is much more accessible as to strategies as to which house to visit first w/o using the express pass. In USH, unsure if the way things are set up on a Friday night, if I should just use the FOTL from the get-go or not and what section of the park to attack 1st.

I love HHN, and will be flying over from Australia in late October just for it. Will be my third visit for the event.

Not sure how they'll be using the tram this year as they've gone from "The Walking Dead" to "The Purge" for the Terror Tram. In the past it's stopped down near the War Of The Worlds crash site, Bates Motel and the House. Generally you get out and walk through this area, which in the past has been full of Zombies etc. In 2012 (I think), you could get your photo taken on the steps of the Bates Home with Norman. Not sure if that's still happening though. It's a bit of a hike up the hill, but totally worth it.

We had FOL in 2013 and saved it for re-visiting our favorite mazes later. We just got there early and hit what we thought would be the most popular mazes. I'm thinking this year 'Halloween', 'Insidious' and 'TWD' will be the first ones to hit depending on their proximity to each other.
