WESKER69 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Now that everything has been revealed, here is the designated thread to discuss all things relating to the overall event that doesn't cater to a specific maze/scarezone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereksdominance Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Since I can't figure out the appropriate thread, I guess this is my safest bet. I'm going on a Sunday this year and just wanted to know what crowds have typically been like on Sundays? How long are average wait times on Sunday compared to Saturday and Thursday?

Alucarda Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Sundays and Thursdays tend to be the best days to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurseddragon Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Is it still better to go back lot to lower lot to upper lot? Or lower lot then back lot then upper lot? Rides excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieman Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I recommend Backlot --> Lower Lot --> Upper Lot because they often don't open all lower lot houses early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsylumSB Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 While Halloween Horror Nights has impresive and immersive sets, I believe it is scareactors (Yes, you!) who are the heart and soul of the event. Annnnnd...the reason I have been attending for 10 years. Break-a-leg and scare safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZetaParadox Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Hey y’all, do you guys know how early entry works? Do they scan your ticket before you go in or what is it? I accidentally bought my ticket from goldstar and they didn’t say beforehand that their tickets don’t allow early entry and it was just $5 less... there’s like no add on or anything for early entry is there Edited September 15, 2018 by ZetaParadox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Goldstar means is that you can't use the ticket to get in the park at 10AM and stay through HHN. I think ALL HHN tickets can be used for early entry - which means that rather than having the entire globe area filled with people waiting to get into HHN, they let them into a holding area, or into the event around 5PM. I would be VERY surprised if Goldstar tickets were not allowed to do this. There will be a barker telling HHN ticket holders where to go. Don't know what they are doing exactly this year, it will probably be: scanning people and letting them into the park around 5PM (or maybe a bit earlier). They may use the main gate or the far right gate near Waterworld. You are given a wristband. There will already be people with HHN tickets in the parkl. They had a ticket allowing daytime and nighttime use. So no matter what, they will be ahead of you. You will be forced down escalator to lower lot. They will open one or both of the Lower Lot houses at 5:15 or 5:30. You also have the option of walking to the backlot (which most people do). Most of the backlot houses will be open by 5:30. By the time you get back to the upper lot, Terror Tram or Jabbocrappies should be your first thing to hit. The two houses up there will be packed until very late in the evening. Walking Dead will not have a long wait. Do let us know if Goldstar ticket has some exclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that you gotta go in at 7 if you buy from goldstar as with I’m assuming all third party tickets. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurseddragon Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Prob not gonna do a review thread so if anyone has any questions. Just ask. Quick overview: Didn't go last year so can't compare. I think the overall has gotten worse since I worked in 2015. Like noticeably worse. Trick r Treat: 100% bias. Still my favourite maze. Black hallways and all and shit. The transition black hallways saying what's coming up is way better than just black hallways. Or picture frames or whatever. Stranger Things: Kool. Then black hallways. But then kool again. Classic Monster's: Tbh, not the worst. Sets arent great but at least had some sort of differences I think. The first part and then separation to another part is kinda kool. Think it could be expanded. Halloween: overall good. Not much else to say. Purge: holy shit trash. Wtf. Blumhouse: honestly not terrible. Not great. The Girl part is probably the best tbh. Poltergeist: Pretty good. Lots of blackout/puppets. Walking Dead: Walking Dead. I don't like scarezones being one way walks. Really pulls me from immersion. I wanna be able to stand there and watch or pay attention to detail. Feels so forced. And scarezone 1 feels like trash to do that in, but it's the only one where you're not forced to walk. Terror tram was really bad. What did they do. It already sucked and they just. Wut. Overall. I didn't like the line up before going. I think the event has gone downhill. My little amount of friends who still work there from when I worked say it's changed and it's more strict and they lost scaring freedom. So. That sucks. Also no gogos? Gr8. I'll be at Great America. Which isn't any better. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikku Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Just looked at the videos released on YouTube for this year...while some parts do look strong and good it overall rings similar to last year with tons of black walls and just not good enough to warrant me spending time at HHNHW over HHNFL so I am glad I kept my plan to just do Orlando this year and not Hollywood....maybe one year the black walls will go away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiemilkshake Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Does anyone know what time they close access to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter during HHN? I think last year it was maybe 5:15pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieman Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Oh jeez, look what I stumbled across: Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood Wait Time Signs Get Hacked With Porn Well, I guess that puts the speculation that HHN is turning family friendly to rest.
