What time does HHN take place? I can't find the time anywhere! Thanks!

 

[Marquibiri]

It always seems to be an issue when trying to book online with a vacation package... Has happened to me in previous years. Vacation packages offer one night admission, however there is no option to change the ticket to FFP or RoF...
How about changing the base ticket to an AP on the vacation package?

I always end up calling but wished we could do it online.



Oh well!

I'll be attending on Opening weekend....

Indeed...remember the good old days when Sundays were dead? No pun intended.

It hasn't been slow on a Sunday in a long time.

metro, remember when we would go on a sunday night and did everything twice by 9:30.........


i remember last year we talked about sunday was no longer the secret non peak night........
totally agree.
the past 3 hhn years have been packed on sundays.

last year it was so crowded you could hardly move around in the open area near mib and the restrooms.

last year was crazy with the crowds.

last year it took me almost 20 minutes from the back of the park to the exit around closing time.

didn't it take you a super long time to get out of the parking garage?
that was either last year or in '10 when you had an issue in leaving the garage.

i dearly wish that thursdays stay calm and crowd free this year......

When they started the 1am close for Sundays/Thursdays last year, I liked that! Sundays are not slow, but are slower than Fri/Sat. Thursdays = same.


I'm looking forward to this year!

I was just googleing HHN stuff and stumbles upon reviews for BGT's Howl'o'Scream reviews. I did not know they had a House named Alone where you actually go in by YOURSELF with no conga lines, etc. and wander around with no TMs to show you the way out and stuff. If you are able to do it by yourself you get a T-shirt but you can also do it in groups..
Advance purchase is required since this house has a separate price and it sells out!

This sounds wonderful! Will HHN ever do something similar?.....
I wish they do...

Can't get the second link to paste properly, it's examiner.com/theme-parks-in-orlando/full-review-of-alone-haunted-house-at-busch-gardens-is-it-really-extreme
Any of the HHN veterans been to this?

[macraven]

doing that same house at UO has been discussed before some years back.

but, didn't happen.

 

[Metro West]

I remember hearing about Alone last year and I think it had its own fee. Yes you got a t-shirt if you went through it but maybe that's what the extra fee was for.

I heard it took a LONG time to get people through since it was one person at a time so I doubt HHN will do anything like that but who knows.

 

[Marquibiri]

From some of the reviews I read it said it was about a 10-15 minute time frame inside the house and you purchase the time slots so no line was necessary. Just show up when your time is up..
I might be wrong though...

It does sound sweet though!
