Official 2016 HHN-26 Thread

Did you call the regular ticket line or the AP line? I called the AP line to order mine and had zero issues. It took them a couple of minutes to verify is did buy an AP online, but other than that no problem. I just bought my ROF on the 29th

The regular line is the one I called. I'll try the AP specific line tomorrow and report back. Is that 1-866-PASS-4-FUN?

 

[RAPstar]

Yes

Last year, I did it just like RAPstar said, and we had no problem. Called the AP line, and after they verified I had already purchased APs, they sold me Frequent Fear passes at the discount rate.

There's not an option for HHN tickets when you call, so I just chose the option to purchase a new AP and told them what I needed. But you can do whichever option you feel works for you

I got them Just called the AP line like you guys said and the woman did it no questions asked. HHN first night here I come!

So I was scrolling through Instagram today and it looks like they revealed the rest of the houses (except the one that may be AHS), scare zones, and shows.

What are they I can't seem to find out?

Nevermind I just clicked the link

Here's the official Universal blog post with all the original mazes described, as well as scare zones. The originals this year sound like a lot of fun, not counting yet another 3-D house.

Updated, one house to go!

Thank you, I was wondering how much was left trying to keep up with what has been announced. So after they announce this last house then everything is out?

Should be unless they spring something on us

Should be unless they spring something on us

And it makes since that the AHS house would be the final announcement. Especially with the rumors of them not doing HHN yet cause they didn't want to share the spotlight with TWD. And notice how UO has barely mentioned TWD this year. Like it's not even a headliner on the site right now.

I'm getting excited...just purchased my ROF tickets online only 43 days till HHN for us.

I hope the AHS house happens, I would like to see Coven but would be happy with all the seasons represented.

owww, why did they have to make the Chance house 3D??? I really liked the sound of that one... but the 3D makes me feel super sick. I'll have to do it without the glasses.

The other houses sound really good! I'm really looking forward to the originals more than the IP's this year.

I really hope Chance has an actual physical presence at the park. And they didn't just hire her to shoot some icon promo material and put her face on things, but not have a nightly role to play.

The new descriptions on their website seem to both ask that question, and dodge answering it, so I'm not sure what to make of it.

I've never been during a Jack year, but I'd like to go next time he shows up. That said I've watched lots of footage of last year, and enjoyed their show immensely, and found Chance to be the highlight, so I was happy to see she was the icon. Was hoping she'd have a similar (but different) presentation this year, but step into the starring role.

That said, I suppose she could still show up in her scare-zone in some kind of mini-show, kill or... even an organized meet-and-greet (I don't know if Universal has ever done that with an Icon, but I know I've seen some demand for one w/ her. *Shrug*)

The only year I've attended in the past was 2005, which was The Storyteller's debut. And frankly she had very little presence for an icon. So I think I err on the side of pessimism, haha. This will be my first year back since.

The Storyteller was more of a marketing character they put on posters and commercials, which I think is where my doubt comes from. I don't even think she fit the theme well that year, she felt very tacked on. The theme of 2005 (for those who may not recall) was they basically turned IoA into a warped fantasy LotR-esque continent, and the Storyteller's only real connection was she was allegedly the one telling us the story of said fantasy continent. Most of the houses located within IoA played into that fantasy theme, with zero presence from her. Then there were a couple more generic houses in the soundstages that I think were loosely connected by being presented as some additional stories from her book. I think she may have appeared outside one of said generic houses, but her presence was minimal at best. She seemed to be more prominent in later years, when they brought her back as a classic icon, frankly.

I am very much more excited by the newly released Houses and Scarezones. I must prefer original ideas
From the sound of Academy of Villains: House of Fear – Join this high energy performance troupe of inmates in an explosion of insanity that will thrust you into a realm of mayhem and maniacal terror featuring dance and specialty acts. The Show Must Go On!
I think it will tie into Chance's Scarezone...A Chance In Hell – Get ready for the audition of a lifetime. Chance may be locked away, but that hasn’t stopped her. As the alarms ring and the bloody remains of those who tried to stop her lie around, she’s busy recruiting cellmates to join her biggest act yet.

Just a thought

We will be attending our first HHN party on Wednesday, Oct 12th after a full day in the park. We are staying at Royal Pacific. Should we go to a waiting pen when the park closes or return to our hotel? I heard there was a separate entrance for deluxe hotels. Also, is the express pass worth it? I'm willing to spend the extra money if it will save me time. I would like to see it all in 1 night.

We always go to the waiting area after a day in the parks makes it easier to hit 1 or 2 houses with out the EP. I am not sure on the walking path from RPR since this will be our 1st time staying there as well would be good to know. We also always get the EP you can see all the attractions in 1 night with that we won't go with out it even though we go for 2 days to HHN. We find it worth it.
