Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UO) - Speculation & Rumors

[ufc327]

I just went ahead and bit the bullet and did the express for Fri, Sat & Sun of our stay and got RIP for Thur. First time doing RIP for us so looking forward to that.

RIP is amazing

RIP is amazing

Kudos to all that enjoy RIP, I personally like to do what I want when I want with no schedule or follow the leader, even if its a longer express wait. Just my preference.

OPINION: The Great Halloween Horror Nights Express Debate: Balancing Business and Fan Loyalty

Universal Orlando's decision to discontinue Fear Passes with Express for Halloween Horror Nights 35 was always going to upset someone. The discussion has dominated the conversation over the past day, and understandably so. It's one of the biggest changes to HHN ticketing in years, and there are A LO

I have thoughts, and I've been hearing it from both sides. So... I wrote.

The communication piece you touched on remains the biggest issue to me. It's not lost on me that they also dropped a last-second F&F closure date change on the UOAP IG channel, of all places, yesterday lol.

Kinda feeling like it's time to crack this bad boy back open:

Thread '"Is anyone awake?" The Universal Social Media Thread'

Dec 3, 2012

Thanksgiving Night, someone from Universal Orlando's social media team tweeted and posted on Facebook the following question "Hello, is anyone awake?" at 11 PM EST. They never followed up on responses to it, and it looks like it was posted by mistake by someone who had too much turkey...or Wild Turkey...

If this were the only instance of "WTF?!" from Uni Social Media, it would be forgivable, but they are repeat offenders. Their ineptitude is amplified by the aptitude of their competitors at the Disney Parks Blog. While @DisneyParks does make the occasional gaffe, they do a fairly good...

But also want to throw a hearty "agreed" to the bit on comments "criticizing how others choose to experience Halloween Horror Nights". I agree with the decision to remove the express option as of now, but damn. Who cares how people spend their hard-earned vacation/staycation money? You can have an opinion on the subject without belittling and attacking what makes people happy. Their spending has genuinely no impact on you whatsoever.

Conversely, Disney didn’t announce more than a month out CoP, UOE, and GMR were closing. Sometimes decisions are quick and there’s nothing to announce early!

I totally agree with your overall point. However, I think there would be infinitely more uproar about this closure if people cared about this ride for the simple fact that this announcement means that they may have just last minute paywalled the final ride-throughs (depending on what happens with this AP night) without giving people a chance to plan for it. Fortunately, no one cares about Supercharged so there's no drama, but it's still a bit of a communications blunder.

Fully register that we're venturing into "wrong thread" territory tho lol
