What can we expect from HHN?

[Dodie]

We'll be at WDW from 10/26-10/31. We'll be spending 1 night at HHN (10/30). What can we expect?

I know that it will be different because of the location change, but we've never been (and have always wanted to). Although it's strange - this will actually be our wedding anniversary celebration (10/30). I've already purchased the tix online.

I am a total newbie. Basic questions I have are:

What time will it start?
How long will it last?
Will the rides actually be open or is the whole park transformed into a haunted house?
etc....

Anything you can provide would be appreciated!

It runs from 7-midnight that night and some of, but not all, of the rides will be open. You should expect about 5 houses, 2 shows, scare zones, and whatever else they decide to throw at us. I would expect heavy crowds though, so don't be surprised.

hey Dodie
rocketman pretty much put it in a nutshell...... because you going so late in Oct. the crowds are a bit heavier , but then again it will be a weds. night you have that going for you.... here a bit more info. houses (mazes) we came across....

"Halloween Horror Nights - Best time you will ever have being SCARED"

Jurassic Park - Watch out for Half Human and Half Dinosaur mutant creatures stalking the park and take a very dark special ride through the JP River Adventure. A couple of haunt concepts are floating around the rumor mill right now. One claims they will use the long pathways of the Triceratops Encounter for something called Extinction while another talks about using the Camp Jurassic area for a maze called Fear Factor.

Lost Continent - Lost Souls and Demons rule a world of Fire & Darkness. The desolate castle queue of Dueling Dragons will also be inhabitated for the first time. There are also rumors of a modified version of the Sinbad show for the event. No one has mentioned it yet, but I’d also love to see them transform the entire Posiedon’s Fury area into one large walk through Haunt as well. Just turn on all the effects and open all the doors, the put a bunch of scary monsters into hiding throughout.

Marvel Island - Super Villains have taken over the Super Hero Island. Marvel is said to have it’s own haunted maze and the rumor from June was to theme it to the Spider-man villians: Venom & Carnage.

Toon Lagoon - A place where childhood Nightmares have come to life. The insider rumors talk about a Scary Tales maze that would be a revamp of a 2001 haunt. I’m not sure where this would go but there was once talk about creating something along the many twisted pathways around Me Ship, The Olive behind the Popeye ride.

Seuss Landing - “Twisted pathways to unexpected places”. I’ve been told not to expect much to happen here due to the “kiddie” nature of the Suess environment. Seuss will be mearly a gateway on to the sound stages where we’ll find one or two major mazes. We’ve heard that one of the soundstages may be themed to John Carpenter’s The Thing as they recreate the creep Arctic Outpost complete with the mutant dog monster. This is probably one of my favorite horror films of all time, so I’ll be a happy camper.

Thanks!

I know that it will be crowded since it's the day before Halloween, but that's when we're there - so what the heck!

We're really looking forward to it! Thanks for the info.
