Halloween Horror Nights 34 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Tobias]

But you still have access to food and beverage - more than ever? The early queueing was an issue before, but now you have more options of how you can spend your time before houses open.

Yeah, you've got more options since you'll be able to access them before the main park closes for the transition. And the concern about getting food and bev while you're waiting in line?...then you just get said food and bev before you get in line and eat in there. That's pretty much what everyone did in the holding pen house lines for Stay and Scream.

*And as note, I know folks could technically leave the line in the holding pen to get food and bev, but that only works if you're with a group. I normally go solo, so I can't do that. Hence, I always get my food and drink before getting in line. And that's what folks are gonna' have to do if they want to wait in line.

This seems to be a lesser version of albeit the USH Day/Night format, done on a separate charge atleast from talking to friends and colleagues. And if you know me, then you know how much I actually adore Day/Night at USH and of the value it gives for those doing HHN.

This seems like a fantastic change that should go over really well. Probably weird at first, sure, but good in the long run.

I go solo half the time and never had someone NOT hold my place while I grabbed a drink and bio break last minute, 4:30, before lines started moving..
So will HHN booths be open to all, only those with wristbands? Not at all?
Now every portal will have a line at 3, I dont see this going well.

The main thing that will be open at 3, is not the house portals themselves. It's the distribution centers for the sake of the wristbands. Assuming if I am right, you will be given a full hour to enter the park and get a wristband that correlates to access for houses at the event.

It's no different from how Hollywood did things with Day/Night, atleast from what it seems to me. The difference on Hollywood and Orlando, is that you got the wristbands right as you entered the park for USH's.

I'd assume they'll start handing out wristbands at 3, and they'll keep handing them out all the way up to 5PM when the park closes.

Scream Early ticket? $55

Daytime USF ticket? $130

Getting a wristband at 3 and then catching the last showing of Horror Makeup before hopping in a queue? Priceless

Honestly not a bad idea, myself I can go for that or E.T. .

Sounds good to me!

Yeah but people line up over an hour before they open the holding pens so they will also line up for wristbands, then immediately go to the portals. At least the pens are organized chaos.

Perhaps it is a limited understanding based off of that of my understanding via the perspective of others; but the organized chaos had sounded like it was not working in the context of how big HHN has been continuing to get in guest interest. Ontop of that, this is the biggest year on a IP level that we have had since arguably before COVID (as 2019 had Stranger Things Boogaloo, Us, and Ghostbusters).

I can't help but shake a feeling that something had to give. And the only reason why I suspect the wristband distribution isn't happening at the front gate, is because Orlando hasn't had the time or experience to have what USH has been doing for years.

Not to say open-chaos won't have it's problems, it will, but I think at the end of the day this will ease things more for the sake of long-term operations more than short term.
