Halloween Horror Nights 2013

[fizbobunny]

We booked with SMSM back in November for Hard Rock. We were able to get standard view. When the AP rates came out the lowest rate was for Garden View and there was not enough savings to justify getting the AP ($50 difference). I'm glad we booked way back then and could snag that standard view.

I'm thinking if I were to get the EP for just one night, I'd get it for Friday night. So is it worth saving a total of $60 for both of us to not have it on Thursday night? I'm thinking I'll just get it. We would just have more time to catch all the shows. Also to drink and sit around soaking up the streetmosphere.

I would suggest getting the EP Thursday night because (1) it's cheaper and (2) you can spend Friday evening just walking around and relaxing knowing you've already done everything.

I'm just saying what an employee told me.

Two years in a row and it was the other way around.. Again if you want get everything in on one night express is the way to go. We were there on a Thursday and it wasn't suppose to be not busy LOL ... Regular lines had hour waits.. Express we passed them all up walked in in 5-10 mins most times. Two years ago started without express one line and I was done and bought express.. Again a Thursday suppose to be light night.. Seems every year it gets more and more crowded no matter what night you go..

Soooooo if I were to get a Rush of Fear Pass that INCLUDES the Express Pass, does that price mean I can only use the express pass once the entire time, or once each night I go?

And how does the ROF with express work? Do you get issued something each night you go for them to mark off which houses you've been to?

I know with regular express they scan your ticket so they know you entered that house once..

Express is good once through each house AND attraction each night you go. The ticket "reloads" after the date changes.

Nope...see above...the ticket is "reloaded" each night and is scanned at each attraction/house entrance.

So I supposed my next question is... would it simply be cheaper for my to get the Rush of Fear pass because it's 20 bucks cheaper than the regular one day pass at the moment, and then purchase an express pass for one day (a Thursday) rather than by the rush of fear plus pass??

Assuming you aren't a passholder, it would be $184.99 plus tax for the ROF + Express and only $130.98 plus tax for the ROF and a Thursday EP...if my math is correct.

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Agh! So much math!

I can see WHY they're trying to sell the ROF passes cheaper than a one day pass. So the locals go more than once and drink more and therefore spend more money.

But I'm only going the one day, so all they're getting out of me is maybe... well, some merch. I don't drink much.

Thanks for mathing for me!! I'm bad at that.

Bought all my tickets today. Got the ROF ticket and will just get the EP for Saturday when they become available. Also opted for an AP for me instead of a regular park ticket since they had the flex plan option, and I will go again next year (probably for HHN again, lol). So yay!

You can buy up to 6 tickets with a preferred pass. I'm think a stay & scream add on was around 30.00

Do you know - can you also buy multiple discounted Rush of Fear passes with just one preferred pass?

I believe so...the limit per pass would be six additional tickets.

Thank you, I don't suppose you know the answer to my other question do you?

Just on the verge of buying an AP!

Thank you!

Thanks for this - I did just call and was told the same thing.

They also said I should be able to order the Rush of Fear with the discount even once the season has already started (does this sound right? It was an AP expert I spoke to and they didn't sound completely certain)

There's no need to worry about HHN tickets...you can purchase them when you are here. You don't have to purchase tickets before the event.
