halloween horror nights for next year (2014)

[macraven]

so i was wondering im going for 4 days got p2p tickets and plan on hhn on oct 29 and 30th should i get express pass for hhn or will i be able to see it all in 2 nights of hhn also do i need reg express pass for the parks im at cabana bay so i get early entry already for 4 days and should i wait till i get there and do the SnS or just buy the tickets early which way is cheaper and does cabana bay do a holding area for hhn sorry for all the questions

if do not leave the studios park when it closes and go stay in th4e SnS holding area, you will have a head start on HHN.
you would have a head start maybe around 6:00 pm to start the first three open houses,.

since you plan on 2 nights of HHN, what you don't see on the first night, you an zero in on the second night.

i looked up the ep costs for the 29 and 30.
ep is $59.99 for the 29th and $79.99 for the 30th.

makes me know that UO is expecting larger crowds on the 30th

both nights HHN closes at midnight.

as for staying at Cbay, you don't get free express but do get early entry.
start when EE is and cover the potter sections best you can.
you are bound to see it all in your 4 days in the parks.

if you go one of your days in the park and find it super crowded, you can buy the basic express pass at guest services or in one of the stores.

We´re planning to visit US on september 9th, but we'd rather do it when they are NOT HHN decorations?
Do you know how long before they would be placed?
Thanks!

We were there last October and could barely tell it was hhn. Very different from how it was jut a few years back, when the scare areas, just sitting there during the day, would freak out my son.

I've been reading and also tried a search, but failed.

Are the usual rides open during HHN for US or just haunted houses?

The official website lists the rides open for the event. MiB, The Mummy, Rip Ride Rockit, Despicable Me, The Simpsons & Transformers. Kang & Kodos is not listed but I do remember seeing it running as well last year. No Gringotts or Diagon Alley at all.

Yep, everything is pretty much covered up now days.

We're going to be there end of September and was going to add on HHN for my son and his gf, but not if it was just houses. 5 is early to close, so one night I thought they might like to do US at night. Too bad IOA will be closed, but they'll enjoy the one late night at US.

I wish DA would also be open, but I don't think JK will ever budge on that one!
Thanks again!

the studios is only closing one hour earlier than they normally do for HHN nights.

if you go to the website for HHN, you will see the list of rides that will be open.
all the info is listed.

IOA is closing its normal october time.

What are the rumors for the other houses? I'm hoping for an American Horror Story one

We are attending the HHN on October 30th for the first time. It will be me, DH and DS who is 8 (yes I know young but this kid and his Dad have been doing haunted houses since he was 3 and they love them minus mommy of course who is a chicken). We are staying at the HRH but my question is: the cost of tickets with the our annual pass is $42.00 a person. For a Thursday night should we spend the under $75.00 a person on top of the ticket price for the express pass? I know some of the rides are suppose to be different but we will have already been there for 5 days beforehand and with staying onsite I promise you they will have rode everything 200 times (we were just there 2 weeks ago and DS and DH rode Rock It 45 times in one day). My thoughts were hit the haunted houses and just walk around and do rides if the lines were not to long and spend that extra on Blue Man Group (which we have never done before). So is the express pass worth it just for that one night??
TIA

If you are really concerned about seeing all the houses and are only going one night, you should probably invest in EPs. Since you are going near the end of the event and crowds will be larger each night, you will have trouble seeing everything w/o the EP. Do the houses first and then the attractions that are open. If you aren't really concerned about seeing everything, don't purchase EPs for the evening.

I am an AP holder, but not my DS. I am going to add on a HHN ticket for my DS and gf, but on any of these days- Thursday, Friday, or Saturday September 25-27, will it be so busy I should also get express pass?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but AHS coming to the event may be more trouble than its worth apparently. Both sides will have to agree to bend on what they want out of the house in order to bring it to the event.

A whole lot of rumors right now but we're looking at Halloween, Alien VS. Predator & Dracula Untold to join The Walking Dead. There is still a potential From Dusk Till Dawn house being speculated as well. Otherwise rumors show a potential steampunk style factory that creates clowns which may or may not involve a Jack cameo, a Cannibalistic Thanksgiving house, a ritualistic creature under the bed which might be Legendary Truth based or possibly Urban Legends branded as either Hollywood's El Cucuy or a regular Boogeyman house & a house based around dolls coming to life.

Even with just spec, this year looks pretty fun at this moment.

Reading this......even if it is rumours, makes me happier about going to HHN this year again.......especially if there's a Halloween house

Would love to see Jack back, but prominently.......as that year was amazing at HHN.........so much fun!

But it looks good........hope it all pans out

We are going on Oct 26th and Oct 30th we are also bringing our 7 year old twins almost 8 byt the time we go. I am not worried they love horror make masks watch movies and love the makeup aspect of it so they are looking forward to seeing all the people in make up. we want to see all the house so we are getting the the FFP .

You have to have the ticket #s to order the S & S discounted HHN ticket otherwise you can't do it. Universal could probably do it over the phone w/o ticket #s...they would have to override the system so you can either wait or buy them via phone. Express can be purchased at any time...you should have no problems ordering those online. [/QUOTE]

Thanks for the advice, we have been sent our actual tickets in an email, so the ticket numbers are on there, when trying to purchase through the site, I cant see anywhere to input the ticket #s. Am I missing something? Would prefer to buy without ringing up. Thanks

 

[macraven]

if you already bought the park tickets through universal online ticket store, you only need the confirmation number to buy the Add On / SnS tickets.

they can look up your order to verify they sold you the park tickets.
then they could sell you the discounted HHN tickets.

Sorry, I haven't read through the whole thread, but I thought I saw someone mention that the regular rides that are open were a little "different" during HHN.

We were planning on doing HHN for one night with Express Pass for the Haunted houses(either the 15 or 16 of October), but weren't planning on doing any of the regular rides that night since we are staying onsite for 6 days. But we don't want to miss anything if they change it up for HHN.

Also, is one night enough? I know my fiance will love all the houses, but if we can get through all that in one night with EP, just wondering if there's anything extraworth seeing to justify an extra night.
