Oysterhead00 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 didn't some houses get closed when it rained before? I recall something like that I remember going through something a loooooooooong time ago (like 2004) where we were walking through standing water and they then closed down the house after a crazy downpour. Don't know if they've ever closed anything for "rain"...but they have temporarily closed houses due to the flooding (and most likely electrocution concerns with the temporary power wiring). As for how rain affects the event...BRING IT ON!!!! Being a cold weather person, I love the rain that cools you off and reduces the humidity. Locals with Frequent Fear passes run home and others run for cover. Best time to do the popular houses since the lines are greatly reduced! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartNARWHALS Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Locals with Frequent Fear passes run home and others run for cover. RUDE! Lmao but I would imagine they would shut down the sprung tent houses if it rains. The Soundstage houses have cover (I remember this from HHN 22 with Dead End queue) and there isn't a huge threat of flooding there. But the sprung tents are pretty out in the open. I don't want to have a soggy Halloween. Although we could go and hide on the porch! xD Edited September 13, 2014 by IheartNARWHALS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it, I think I remember the queue for the Tents being closed before due to rain too...but the house I remember going through in water (only like 1/8 to 1/4 inch) I THINK was the Disaster queue. I'm not a die hard that remembers every house and it's location, but think it was around there and after leaving it, we took a ride on Jaws in the pouring rain. MIGHT have been the year Hurricane Floyd came trough in early Oct. We went to see Danzig at Hard Rock for part of the Blackest of the Black Tour (they gave us free tickets since nobody wanted to go) and then flew out from Orlando in the eye of the storm (passing through the eye wall in the plane was pretty damn scary). We were in line for a tent once when they closed it and we had to make our way back to Universal but I think that was because someone puked and they were going to be cleaning it for a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been raining a lot lately which is worrying me since I'm going opening night. Hope we don't get rained out...oh wait. Frequent fear Which raises another question i had. With my Frequent Fear + Express, does that mean every night I go i have express of is it only one set of express? I'm still confused on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faceleg Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 The Poe house closed a bit for rain. It re-opened, but it was getting flooded so they had to like squeegee the rain out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foREVer56 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 In 09 they closed Dracula opening night for flooding, but that had to be the queue since it gets REALLY bad by the SSs when it pours. Tent 2 gathers insane puddles too. That white carpet in Halloween is gonna get destroyed within a day. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still confused on that You get express for each house every night of the event for the first 3 weeks. So all 8 express the first night, all 8 the second, ...... all 8 the tenth.

Dr. Jimmy Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 But a pair of sunglasses and keep them on until you enter the house. Then take them off and you have no issues seeing. When the sun sets rent a locker by the exit and store them. Problem solved. Tried it, it doesn't work for me I'm afraid. I just have bad eyes. As for rain, there is a reason I always carry an umbrella at the Event! I also usually have a zip lock plastic bag for my smart phone, just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clash Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I tried sunglasses as well, the entire day actually, even indoors I wouldn't take them out (before the event even started) it does not work at all. Unless you can find extremely dark glasses it won't help (like, really really dark). But In the case of Dracula I found the darkness to make the house much much scarier. Dracula was one of the few houses that made me scream due to the darkness and not being able to see the actors coming out. I missed a lot of the detail but it experience was great.

IheartNARWHALS Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Lol yeah i Just thought about it. Although I don't get ID'ed on a regular basis at HHN. In 2011, I never got ID'ed, then next year I got ID'ed every single time I went. I guess it depends on the security staff xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniversalStudiosGeek Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hi everyone. I will be going to Orlando and will be getting the RoF w/express. We will only be at HHN for 10/3-10/4. I've only been to HHN Hollywood so I'm pretty unfamiliar with the park. What route should we go to make the most of our time and express passes? Thanks.

I've only been to HHN Hollywood so I'm pretty unfamiliar with the park. What route should we go to make the most of our time and express passes? Thanks. I've been to Orlando a few times and Orlando's HHN a couple of times, so I can give you a simple header: Get there early, and then go towards the back of the park. Basically, start with Ronake, and then go to Halloween and Dollhouse. They should all enter around where E.T. and Kidzone are. The sound stage houses up front are going to be hit first by the GP so you want to do those last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I sill go to Roanoke/Halloween/Dollhouse first or do some of the SS houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thdegree Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Thanks Freak. I've heard there was a stay and scream option where you're let into the mazes early. Should I sill go to Roanoke/Halloween/Dollhouse first or do some of the SS houses. They usually have two separate areas for stay and scream: 1. Let's you into Roanoke, Dollhouse, and Halloween early. 2. Let's you into some combination of SS houses. Because you won't know which houses are your favorites, I'd start in the area that goes to SS houses because they will fill up the fastest. And once I finish those I'd walk over to Roanoke and work my way counter clockwise through the park . The most important thing is to make sure that you DO NOT use your express passes for any lines shorter than 45 minutes unless you have been through that particular house once already that night. Also, once you've gone through all the houses once, you should take a break to grab something to eat and check out scare zones before you start round two on the houses using your express passes.
