ScottEdmondson41 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Knockturn Alley is always pretty spooky at least. Great news if it is open, that should help with the crowds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic_Mizfit813 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) my options for hhn this year is to go either Oct 16 and 17 or Oct 30 and 31, which weekend would be better? any and all feedback is greatly appreciated Edited June 12, 2015 by Mystic_Mizfit813 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottEdmondson41 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Probably that last weekend. Typically Halloween is a lot less crowded than the rest of the event, less so in last couple years as event has gotten more popular, but still a good day to go I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been that close to the end of it before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Will Potter be open?... I read that has a no. If they're doing Express for rides that are open (because why else mention rides at all), then this seems to imply Gringotts isn't open. If Gringotts isn't open (the one attraction in Diagon), then why open Diagon at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been that close to the end of it before maybe some will, but overall that's not a problem at all. I think some might even have a renewed energy about it because it's almost over and because it's Halloween. Didn't think they would typically point out that express isn't available for rides that aren't even open. Seems to imply that it's open just without express. I don't know for sure though, it's a big surprise if it is. Didn't think they'd ever have it open for HHN Edited June 12, 2015 by ScottEdmondson41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gringotts isn't open (the one attraction in Diagon), then why open Diagon at all?If a ride or area isn't open or accessible, why would a restriction be needed? Also, no other rides are mentioned, but traditionally ET (which has Express) is also not open during the event. Correct me if I'm wrong (I usually focus on houses and rarely ride rides), but MiB, Simpsons, Rockit, Mummy, Transformers, and Despicable Me are the rides that have been open in recent years. If the restriction is applying to attractions that are not open, then ET and Disaster should be listed as well. (I'm unsure if Shrek has Express.). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 My only suspicion is that they also included the Express which definitely wont be open since IOA will be closed during the event... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomfwa Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Forgive me if this is somewhere else, but does anyone have a schedule of when things were "officially" released last year? Just wondering if this'll wind up being a similarly released schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IheartNARWHALS Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 No Harry Potter attraction has express so why bother mentioning that? But if they mentioned that, it would be a huge tease to put that and not have it be open. Also why the Hogwarts Express? I mean they could board from IOA if they have an HHN pass but other than that I see no reason why they would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsylumSB Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Orlando is WAY better than Hollywood, IMO.. so you'll LOVE this experience. But the bigger question: Why the hell would you move from perfect San Diego to Orlando??Dems Fightin" Words, Hunnylvr! (Just kidding, hee hee). While I consider HHN California as my "home" haunt event, I could not help but be immensely impressed with Orlando duirng my first visit in 2014. Specifically, the Walking Dead house in Orlando made just about any house in Hollywood seem tame (and I thoroughly enjoyed HHN-CA!) and even rides like The Mummy had a far greater thrill factor and effects than the west coast version. However, the Hollywood event feels more intimate and contained, and I am rarely rushed to get through the event allowing time to enjoy the ambience. (Roanoke seemed like a Hollywood style of maze; I loved it!) Lastly, while I can't quite put my finger on it, HHN-Hollywood always has a charge in the air, as if the historical significance of being a film studio plays a role in enjoying the event. But you now have Freddy vs Jason.....wish I could be there! Edited June 12, 2015 by AsylumSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While USF closed at 5 for HHN, IOA was open later and day guests there could ride HE over and enjoy Diagon, but not leave the London area into USF unless they had an HHN ticket. Those without had to ride HE back to IOA and exit that way. Edited June 12, 2015 by kelise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderelly115 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Quick question.. Why are people so upset with Jack coming back? I absolutely love Jack and can't wait for this year but I've seen so much negativity on social media regarding Jack! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love Jack and can't wait for this year but I've seen so much negativity on social media regarding Jack!

Legacy Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Well, while that's why we're seeing the complaints, I don't think that's why they're complaining. While it's "great" to have Jack back since he is a Horror Nights original, his return (and so far it's only HIS return) is indicative of what people have been complaining about for the last three years regarding TWD: Repetition. Truly, Jack is somewhat worse considering this is his seventh appearance and fourth year as marketing lead. It's not TWD again, but Jack doesn't fix the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Jack is so different than TWD .. they have so much more free range with Jack than they do with Walking Dead.. I love the icons and always welcome them back because they the ICONS of HHN.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostdude Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 And just like TWD, those "ICONS" have been done to death, soooo, Jack is no different than TWD.

Averixx De Avalon Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 2014 being my first year, I'm super excited for Jack. I feel like it will help introduce us newbies to icons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I thought that we where done beating on this dead horse once and for all. Except the part where Jack hasn't been a huge part of the event for the past three years while Walking dead has been the center of attention, to the point where all our scarezones were replaced with walking dead one year, for the last three years. Plus with how popular the event has gotten over the past few years there is probably a large chunk of people who have never experienced an event with jack and I personally think it is a good move, especially with how popular he has been in the past. I have gotten a couple of my friends to become HHN regulars over the past couple years and they are stoked to see jack because they have never seen him before, but even people whose first year was last year groan at the thought of walking dead returning once again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
