Halloween Horror Nights 34 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Wesker69]

They should wait and announce everything 30 days prior to the event starting like they did in the Before Times.

"No signal" Midnight drop

Would that mean we’d get the website back too?

I'll respond to these together - but this is kinda where my brain is. Are they going to just stop marketing Epic as soon as it opens/ absolutely not lol

I'm sure the whole summer will be "Hey come to Epic! It's open! Look how awesome it is!" So will they want to shove the entirety of HHN into that as well?

Like @Killer Klown said, HHN will be very important this year for North Campus, although I'm not sure that they're really worried about HHN attendance.

Also curious if they may roll out an HHN/Epic package as well.

I’m almost sure we’ll see some sort of HHN/Epic package deal. I can already see the ads. Have an Epic day and a Horror night at Universal Orlando Resort!

“Epic days, Horror Nights” is honestly a great potential tag line. Nice work.

imagine if a bus takes you directly from epic to universal and hhn. door to door deal, ( I have no idea how the buses will work. )

I know this is an argument every year, but I have to point out that there are many of us who travel for this. An earlier announcement schedule (ESPECIALLY FOR FFP) is essential in that regard. With how insane attendance has become and the fact that FFP with Express sold out so fast last year, us traveling folk are even more anxious to get that stuff nailed down. I don't have the luxury of being able to go every night of the event because I live in Chicago. Even though we travel four different weekends for this each year, it's very important to have the FFP+ with Express to maximize the time we do have.

I'm looking forward to Epic as well, but I won't even think of trying to see that for several months after it's open.

but isn't that an argument for tickets being announced further in advance, not houses? I don't think @Legacy was suggesting holding off on ticket sales until 30 days in advance.

Of course, the tickets are the main issue. However, I know there are lot who travel based on what will be at the event any given year as well. Yes, I will go regardless of whether I know all the houses or not, but that isn't the case for everyone. Then again, it's quite possible that some travelers may not wish to visit the US at all this year, so who knows?

I think that's an antiquated thought of thinking when it comes to how the event has shifted over the past decade or so now. They obviously don't want to just solely rely on locals like they used to anymore. They're looking for guests outside the local area to fill up their hotel rooms... giving people short notice doesn't accomplish the result they want.

It's true. I do not wish to visit the U.S. & i live in it.

Imagine living in Florida... I feel this x100000

then what reason does universal have for not announcing stuff earlier this year?

 

[UniversalRBLX]

then what reason does universal have for not announcing stuff earlier this year?

The earliest we've seen them announce HHN has been March... which was way too early IMO. Ideally, the HHN announcement season kicks off in May once the summer travel season is fully booked, and you can then start to reveal HHN/fall information once the summer is somewhat "locked in".

With Epic in the way, it obviously throws a wrench at Universal's plans when it comes to their typical HHN announcement schedule with revealing tickets/dates in May/early June. Ideally, you'd have tickets, dates and your biggest IPs announced by mid-June to give a solid 3 months for trip planning.

wrong. Earliest was October 31st, 2022 with Chucky for 2023

No. Such. Thing.

fair point, forgot about that one

 

[Jake S]

but given that they’ve done that one (1) time, it doesn’t exactly seem precedent setting.
