For those that will be attending...
Here's some small changes from the Florida Coaster Club. The Mythos meet is still on. Look for me, a 6'3" tall Chinese dude with a Florida Coaster Club t-shirt on. It says "We ride all year" on the back.
Here is the information. See you then!
We have a small change to the HHN meets, from the Florida Coaster Club...
To all those attending Halloween Horror Nights this Saturday:
As you may have heard, and as we expected, the move to IOA and massive marketing by Universal has resulted in this year's HHN being EXTREMELY popular. The opening weekend set several records, including the largest first-weekend attendance in the event's history! It appears the question of going on a "peak" vs "non-peak" night is a moot point. Sell-outs are expected throughout the run.
This means there are some things you need to know....
First and foremost, BUY YOUR TICKETS AHEAD OF TIME! DO NOT WAIT until you arrive at the park on Saturday afternoon or evening! If you do, there is a VERY good chance that you will be greeted by "SOLD OUT" signs at the entrance to the parking garages! Only those who have their HHN tickets in hand will be allowed into the property. You can get them through the website www.halloweenhorrornights.com , at a Spencer Gifts store, or at Ticketmaster.
Remember, you can save more than $13 per ticket with your Universal Annual Pass, or with the UPC code from a 2-liter bottle of Coca-Cola or a coupon from Taco Bell.
Next, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that, if you can, you should arrive at the park earlier in the day, and take advantage of the "Stay and Scream" option. Those who are already INSIDE IOA BY 5 PM AND HAVE THEIR TICKETS FOR HHN will be allowed to remain in a holding area (The Jurassic Park Discovery Center) while the rest of the day guests are swept from the park.This option will also allow us to visit selected attractions BEFORE the main gates open to everyone else! This is what I and many others are planning to do, and if at all possible, SO SHOULD YOU! Meet us at Burger Digs in the JP Discovery Center at 5:00.
For those who can't make it in time for "Stay and Scream", GET THERE AS EARLY AS YOU CAN and again, have your HHN tickets already bought! Although the official HHN opening time is advertised as 7:00, we have it on good authority that gates will actually open well before that time.
THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED FLCC MEETING TIME of 6:00 at the foot of the Lighthouse outside the gate IS CANCELLED; it will be too late to be any good. Instead, enter the park as soon as you can, and make your way to the XTREME THEATER in TOON LAGOON, where we will all meet around 7:00 to attend the first showing of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure" (scheduled for 7:45.) Just look for the gold FLCC shirts!
The second originally-planned FLCC meeting time (8:00 at the Alchemy Bar across from Dueling Dragons) IS ALSO CHANGED, since we will now still be at the Bill & Ted show at that time. Instead, it will be 9:00 at the SAME LOCATION.
