Yesterday was a lot better as well, also Insidious step it's game that house was damn near perfect both times I went through it last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Just got home from my second trip. I now understand why people were liking TWD so much and I was hating it. I had gone twice during the Passholder events, and apparently both times my eyes needed to adjust from being in the sun right before going inside because everything was pitch black throughout most of it. The lines weren't too bad later in the evening so I went again while it was dark out, and I could actually see everything in the house. It was so weird and I never would've thought that was the case. It's still not my favorite house this year, but it's not nearly as bad as I thought at first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodstampsFTW Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Why are the Unmasking the Horror tours such a cluster fuck this year? I want to do the tour but infant to know which houses I'm getting as some I have no interest in seeing and AWIL I've done in 2013. Anyone have any idea why it's just random houses?well the 6 houses I and other people have been getting are FvJ run body collectors in the morning, walking dead asylum and m&m in the afternoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsik_22 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 So has anyone tried the speciality drink this year that includes the collectible cup? I believe last years was called The Dead Walker or something like that. Just turned 21 and was wondering if it's worth buying or if I should just stick to a beer I already enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBilly Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 well the 6 houses I and other people have been getting are FvJ run body collectors in the morning, walking dead asylum and m&m in the afternoon thanks that helps. Shame they've been pretty clever with the 6. I really couldn't careless about Walking Dead and Alice I'm not fussed but I do want to see the anniversary house. On the flip all the morning houses are perfect but I'd switch Run for M&M. decisions.what houses did you do? What ones are better to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly EP+ price skyrockets that day...Persistent but unconfirmed rumors they'll do something ... but I suspect the Express price hike has more to do with local schools being out the next day (in other words, it's hell week).

clash Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 as bad as the purge is, I think I had a better time at the Purge than I did at RUN or Asylum in Wonderland. (same goes for the Walking Dead, better time in the WD than Run or asylum) maybe I just had really bad runs or I was lucky and had good runs on both Purge and WD, but Purge and Walking Dead had more intensity than RUN did (which is ironic because RUN should be the most intense out of the 3) I got more scares in those two and the energy was better. Purge still has problems and the sets are not that good, but the music, the lights and the energy of the house makes up for it big time. Purge reminds me a lot of the first Havoc. Walking Dead is getting boring as an IP since they are repeating the same stuff as before, but I got a lot more scares. I know Alice is not meant to be as intense of have the same kind of scares those other two have. But RUN should be like the Purge is. I wouldn't be surprised if Purge ends up becoming one of the favorites from the intensity alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Topside Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 So I've gone to HHN twice so far and have really enjoyed it, then I heard about the UMTH Tours. It's really Body Collectors, RUN, FVJ for the morning and TWD, Asylum, M&M in the afternoon? Can anyone confirm this 100%? I don't normally complain but I think half the houses on the tour are not even worth seeing, and of course they split them up so to see the ones I would want to see I'd have to buy both tours. I did the tour for the first time last year and loved it, but I may skip it this year if that is the true line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissBA Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) The photo craze is bad in all zones. It's kind of ruining the atmosphere of the streets. One of my friends was saying upon leaving the park they overheard another guest yell profanity at a clown for not taking a picture with them and then not saying they weren't going to take a picture with them. Friend overheard this and basically told them "they are not photo ops, he can't talk and you were being a huge jerk for something he can't really do much about". Apparently the guy went back to the clown to apologize. I'm scared they are going to go a "no photos" route soon because it's really becoming a hinderance to actors doing their job scaring. I've yet walk through a zone and see less than 2 scareactors posing for photos outside of evils roots.. There's so much fog in that zone that they don't turn out great anyways.The selfie obsession is real.

criticalanalysis Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I just returned from my HHN 25 trip. Went Friday and Sunday. Overall, a good year, but it has notable flaws. As usual I am seeing overwhelmingly positive reviews that are - frankly - undeserved. I will post a trip report with my review in time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I will write about will cover flaws they will not be able to fix because it's not as much about details as it is design choices for the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeventyOne Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Are there any opening ceremonies this year? They play an introduction by Jack while a variety of scare-actors from across the park stand in front of the gates and look menacing (and rev chainsaws), then a quick pyro burst. Not very elaborate but both times I've seen it got the crowd pumped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want you to definitely tour M&M it seems, but it's mixed bag what the other two will be as it seems to vary. But it will definitely be of the six you listed.I did combo and I got M&M, Asylum, Walking Dead, Run, Freddy vs. Jason, and Body Collectors in that order.

Just like the parade never allowed them to put proper sets in the streets, and how they had to find a way to decorate around that problem.seems like they are going to find a way to adapt to this selfie craze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrevio Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 so it's my understanding that Diagon Alley did very little to help with house wait times. In fact, it seems like the exact opposite happened. All the rides are nearly walk-ons, save for Rip Ride Rock-It. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
