DTH316 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 College nights have been scrapped? They were still around last year. Usually it's like mid-run to the end of the event on Thursdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 It's already gonna be week 4 and nothing so far I even called since I'm going on a Thursday and all they said was there were no plans so far. I doubt we will see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horror lover Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I agree 100% Freak.Another thing that could be contributing is the fact that the "Deals" are only online, while it's not a big deal for people like us who plan our next as earlier as November (lol) but a lot of GP go last minute hell last year like 5 people joined us the morning of and bought full priced tickets at the gate. You can get coupons at Burger King but I would of never knew unless I parked in front of one. Remember when Del Taco and Jack in The Box had the coupons and HHN collector's cups? It was mentioned on radio commercial, website, and billboards. Hell you could get a physical ticket at Food 4 Less, Vons, Ralphs, and even Hot Topic for the exact same price as online. Every store in Orlando sells their Horror Nights tickets why did we stop? Make the discounts easily available. Then also the scraped college nights.Marketing has been terrible (espeacially this year) it's like they relay entirerly on social media and a hand full of billboardsI miss buying tickets at the stores... Cheaper than buying at the gates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrorNightsFan13 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Marketing is heavily relying on social media and billboards this year. However I have surprisingly heard a couple of radio ads and contests heald by radio stations for event packages. I say surprisingly because I live in San Diego, 3 hours from Universal where people give me weird looks for wearing an HHN shirt and have no clue what it is. I'd very much like the word of the event to be spread and be advertised more but marketing has just not done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we will see it again.They always popped out of nowhere by surprise. They don't wanna tell you in advance because they want you to buy your ticket for as much money as possible. Shame Universal is like that, but they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that's really bad! But isnt majority of HHN's crowd college age? I mean that's the target? I mean I'm a college student (hides under table) and I never thought any of that sh*t was okay. The cheap booze thing is stupid period I just want an extra 5 bucks off my ticket for a lard lad donut that does not go into the Jabbawokeez' pocket... but damn assholes ruin everything I can see why they don't do it anymore.

DTH316 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Really weird and random question. Okay, ya know how there's always people who come through and pee their pants after being scared? What is protocol for that? Does the entire maze stop and have to wait for it to be cleaned up? Or does the person just continue through the maze? Haha and if they have to exit the maze, is there like some extra pairs of pants backstage for them or something? Or do they have to walk out of the park like that? I can't imagine USH being okay with someone walking around with urinated on pants going throughout their park, possibly leaving behind a stream.Just randomly came to my mind after always hearing these stories. haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurseddragon Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I mean, I haven't come across many stories while I've worked here. But I imagine it's never a full bladder being emptied... But just like vomiting, I'm sure they'd stop it to clean it and take 'em to health for other things like clothes or something along those lines.

hhnperson Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I'm pretty sure from what I've heard last thursday night was a college night, it was pretty wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTH316 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I just checked my old college's discounts, and their deals are for every Thursday for the rest of the event being only $50 (which is $35 off). I'm pretty sure college nights are still a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrorNightsFan13 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 So this was brought up quite a while ago but I'm bringing it back just because of me thinking about it. Do you think the event could be extended an additional weekend until November 7th? There's a lot of evidence that points towards it. Maze monitor job going until the 7th, why would it need to go until then because mazes won't run after HHN closes. As well there's the two unannounced FFP dates that John says will happen at the end of the run of the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTH316 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 To further confirm college nights have returned, I just saw an ad on Facebook that said this:Attention College Students Save up to $35 on Tickets!

DTH316 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Told you it would happen, just gotta wait for it! And like I said, they never announce it in advance because they want people to pay the biggest amount possible for those already planning on going.Like, in a reverse example, Disneyland always randomly raises their prices without notice. Because if they announced when the prices would go in effect, everyone would rush to go on the cheaper days. But when you're already planning on going, and then it's a random price hike, you're kinda forced to give them the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
