Halloween Horror Nights 2013

[TurkA77]

In my experience going after Halloween, it's still pretty busy. If you only have the one night you should probably purchase the EP. HHN has it's own Express Pass so you can't use the one from the day and there are no discounts on EPs.

Any idea what the HHH express pass cost is I didn't see it anywhere on the Universal site? Thanks again for the help

Never mind, I found it. Another $50 on top of everything else. I think that's close to $300 per person with all the add ons. I don't like to be cheap on my vacations, but that's really pushing my limits.

What time do you think we should get there, we're going on this Sunday 10/13? Do the gates open at 6:30 or slightly before?

If you're in line out front by 5PM or so, you shouldn't have too long to wait. Sometimes gates will open before 6:30PM but no later.

Yes...HHN tickets for single admissions are expensive. Multiple entry tickets are usually the way to go so keep that in mind for next year. EPs are very expensive especially late in the event so if you decide to come again, try visiting at the beginning of the event...that's where all the cheaper tickets and EPs are.

Single tickets certainly are pricey! I just paid $140 and that is on top of my 2 day PtoP ticket. The trick is, just pass them your credit card and try not to look at the total!

We're going to be there next week, Wed thru Sat. Wondering about the temp at night for HHN. We have S&S but wonder if it would be prudent to take warmer clothes for the evening. Anyone get chilly wearing shorts and t shirts only? Maybe planning on going back to the resort to change.

I have been wearing nothing but a t shirt, and it is pretty warm during nighttime. Some of the scare actors are running around shirtless every night, and they look healthy. The only chill you will get is inside the houses especially sound stage houses. The coldest one is An American Werewolf in London house. It is a very nice cold especially coming from the outside. You don't need warmer clothes but bring a sweatshirt if you feel cold inside the sound stage houses.

We went last night, they opened the gates at maybe 10 after 6? No later than that.

We haven't quite gotten to the colder night temperatures yet. It's been probably in the 70s these past few nights. There's a breeze that can get you a little chilly, but it hasn't been too bad yet...

To me, anything below 70 is cold so I will probably start bringing my jacket soon.

Just got my ticket for HHN with express pass and going on Sun Oct 20. This is my first time and I think if I didn't go and heard it was fabulous I would be kicking myself afterwards. So, for this girl who spent most of the time in the lobby while at the Exorcist movie, I am going to have to brave! Now, the scare actors are not allowed to touch us are they? I do love Halloween and always have. Going to MNSSHP on Friday for a warm up - LOL!

No, the scare actors are not allowed to touch! They do get up in your face, though!

We went on 10/4, and did the RIP Tour. If you can afford it, I can't recommend it highly enough! We saw all 8 houses, did Terminators and Men in Black, and Bill & Ted. We got in before the EP holders - literally no lines! We had a great tour guide, and a really nice group of folks in our tour. We didn't have time for Rocky Horror, which was a disappointment, but the rest of the night was fabulous! My d is a screamer, so the actors had a great time with her.

I don't know if the tour was necessary on a Thursday so early in October, but it was a perfect way to see HHN.

HHmmm.. I am going to check into the RIP tour for sure. We can only afford the time to go on the one night so we will have to make the most of it.

 

[macraven]

You will enjoy doing a rip tour.

I booked a private on this past Friday

Well worth it

Hi all,

I found prices and such for everything. But, how crowded is it really going to be on Friday the 25th? Am I going to be miserable? I really don't want to get an express pass because that's more than the actual ticket for FL residents.

What do you all think?

I'm going on Thursday and taking my chances, I dont want to spend the extra on the ep so I plan to get there for S&S and hope for the best. I've never gone this late in the year, except one of the first times I started going and ended up there during hell week.

Had a chance to visit two weeks ago and it was AMAZING.

American Werewolf in London was my favorite house by far, followed by Resident Evil. While the latter wasn't particularly scary, I found the theming to be excellent and really make me nostalgic for that PS1 era of RE games. I particularly loved how they sprinkled iconic items from the game into the sets, such the herbs, typewriter, ribbons, and ammo brands.

Really, really cool stuff. I've been going nuts editing the photos from it, so I'll just share this one for now:

We went to HHN for the 1st time on Oct 10th. It was AWESOME! Loved all the zombies, houses and best of all the RIP tour.

The RIP tour was worth every penny. We booked the non-private tour. Arrived at 7:15 to check in at the lounge, were able to buy a couple of drinks and relax with our tourmates. We saw all 8 houses, reserved middle-front seating for Bill and Teds show and two rides at the end of the night. We finished up about 12:10AM, started at 8PM.

The park was open until 1AM, so we rode a couple of rides before leaving.

Any questions, please ask. We had a blast and will go again next year for sure. I can understand why people come over and over.

I haven't been to this in probably 10 to 15 years. Is the express pass really worth it? Will I be disappointed if I don't do it? What is this RIP tour you speak of? LOL
