Halloween Horror Nights Orlando [2012]

I live in London, but have always wanted to go to this.

I check the line-up every year, but now I'm saving for a wedding, I don't think I'll be able to make it.

For anyone that does go, enjoy! And take spare pants.
 
I have been to one. Was pretty good. Not much scares me, but I got split up from my group at the end of the night, walking through the jurassic park section basically by myself. Cast member wearing a raptor head that screamed like one jumped out at me from the bushes. I am pretty sure I screamed like a little girl. I hate freakin dinosaurs. :p
 
I'm going and tbh I am terrified!!! My family all think its a good idea and are really looking forward to it, but I'd rather stick needles in my eyeballs.

I KNOW they are just people dressed up and with make up and masks on and that they cant touch you but on the night I'll not be able to tell myself that when I am screaming and crying and running away.

Quick question to the people who have been before, how does it work? When you go, do you have to go hours before and queue to get in like going to a concert or something, or do you just turn up at opening time?

And, what IS it like? They cant touch you can they?

Lol, the "fear" factor is what makes it so much fun!

I've been MULTIPLE times. It's like any other amusement park so to speak. You buy your tickets and enter the theme park. Throughout the park there are lines to enter the different haunted houses. You pick which haunted house you want to go to first. These lines, just like a line for a roller coaster, may be 5 minutes long or 3 hours long, depending on the time and day that you go. My experience... the sooner you get there, the better.

I don't recall if they can touch you or not (I want to say that they can't... but don't quote me)... if they can, I would imagine it's only to tap your shoulder or something.

These are, by all standards, MOVIE SET quality haunted houses. It'll seem VERY real and may be very terrifying.

Personally, I love it! :)
 
Thanks for your reply. We have been to Universal before though never HHN. and so I was just a little unsure how it works. We have our Universal Tickets and this year have got the one incorporating HHN. I dont think we are there in the day so its going to be a case of travelling there afternoon/early evening and so wondered whats the best plan of action with regard to time to arrive at Universal. I know its going to be amazing but also know I am going to be terrified.
 
If you are a pass holder the first couple of weekends you can get in early, of you rsvp. I've found this to be very helpful. Last year I did all the houses and shows by 8 pm. Later in the season you sometimes get half the houses if you are lucky.

Double check on that.... they consider it a separately ticketed event. You'll need to buy an ADDITIONAL pass for HHN.

My plan is pretty much what brian86j said. Get to the park early, preregister so I can get "locked" in the park and get a few of the houses knocked out early (before they are open to the public).
 
I've never been, but it definitely sounds like something that would be really fun. There's a few haunted houses in my area, so I definitely plan on checking those out. I'll probably even try to score some interviews with the people that run them and do some reviews.
 
Well have fun anyone that's going. And they prohibit touching, either directly or by cast member controlled props, mainly because the first year a couple idiot cast members decided it would be fun to grope teenage girls.

Yeah it's included. We buy the tickets from a uk site (proper official one) and when buying the universal tickets we had the option to add HHN. We paid extra obviously but the ticket states admission to HHN on certain nights - I don't think it includes weekends but it lists all the dates ours includes and surprisingly Halloween night is one of those nights, and I THINK that's the night we intend to go, as that is a night we hadn't planned anything.
But yeah our ticket includes it.

I've never give on Halloween. But I've heard it isn't as busy add one would expect.
