Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UO) - Speculation & Rumors

[Parkscope Joe]

I don’t think they would ever go back to IOA again, what’s to be gained by doing that? The extra indoor space at MSI? The event is too large to have in queue mazes at Popeye and Hagrids, Veliciocoaster takes up another former maze site. I think any expansion will be in the studios (Villain Con, more tents, maybe another soundstage)

Also it shuts down IOA at 5pm. IMHO used IOA back in the day to pad the attendance numbers.

I’m waiting for them to debut a MNSSHPesque family event at Epic frankly. Have a Boo-fest in SNW, let dark universe be dark universe, pumpkin up Paris, and Invent a Viking Halloween party for Berk. Throw in a firework show and a parade, it would print money.

All the talk about the tickets has made us ignore that nothing was announced this morning. Maybe something at noon with Hollywood?

Saving Fortnite for when people forget about Fear pass express being gone lol.

(That’s a joke, I’m excited about Fortnite, but it’s funny to think that maybe they pulled back to wait on it).

After KKFOS was announced I’m honestly solid for the rest of the season. Kinda wish it was just an entire zone like 2018 again.

As far as wait time data - in my experience, Fridays have definitely always been the least busy nights.

Especially if you can get there early. Traditionally Friday night crowds take a while to build--Sunday (and I hear Saturday) are busy from the jump.

Also, to aid in planning, looks like most central Florida schools are out for Columbus Day this year. With the northern schools out, too, expect that to be Hell Weekend.

Fridays and Wednesdays are always my go to days for when things aren’t bad. Thursday’s always feel bad for me and I have absolutely no idea why, maybe people think it’s gonna be less crowded? Idk. But Fridays seem to be really good.

No announcements today?

Pretty much all the passes include Thursday, but also, traditionally in Orlando theme parks, Employee Paychecks Come On Thursday.

Thursday used to be "Cast Member Night" at Pleasure Island--was always slammed.

Judging from the rumored layout, the subsection should be roughly the same size as the 2018 zone, so nothing’s really lost.

Agree with this 100%. I’m one of the “out of towners” who comes for 10 days (5 for HHN) and used FFP+Express. As I’ve said before, I obviously know what days I’m coming and, therefore, using express. And, from a customer service perspective, me paying $1100 for 5 nights with express still makes me very much feel I’m getting a great deal. Heck, even a higher price would.

Each member of my group spends an average of $8k on our visit every year (for 15 years now). Depending on what the packages end up being, this may be greatly reduced if we change up our plans for this year.

I wonder if Universal factors into their data analysis the cross-reference of multinight+express ticket holders against hotel reservations? Like in theory someone who purchases FFP+E would be entitled to attend and use express for all of the listed nights but the ref shows that that person is only here for a week and will be out of town and physically not present for 75% of the ticket’s capacity.
