I saw Season 1 of Stranger Things and though it was “good”. I was actually disappointed it didn’t wrap up then. I understand it was a hit and that meant extending the series. I tired Season 2 and stopped after two episodes. Am I missing something? Get me hyped for a ST HHN32 house!!
Last year & this year I bought the Rush of Fear pass that allows you to go to ALL the nights in September. The price has changed. It’s up from $149.99 to $179.99.
Adding UXP to the ticket for every night is $350. It went up $50 this year. It does include UXP for both the houses & rides.
These prices may sound high, but the pass “pays for itself” on the second night. I’ll be going to eight nights of HHN32.
This makes make cost per night with UXP - $66.25 + tax! That’s a bargain in my thinking. It’s actually my motivator for going for as long. I’d be “losing money” if I only went 4 - nights!!
My final total was $1128.88 for both DD & I with UXP on the tickets.
There is something “new” this year. You have to tell UOR the first night you intend to use the pass. I’m not thrilled about this “reservation system”. It’s no big deal, but annoying! DD is arriving “after” the start date, so it’s still valid.
I don’t know why anyone would pick any date other than Sept. 1st if I can start the ticket any time AFTER my start day.
They did do really well about putting pop-up before any time you could check out saying what was required to go to the event and what tickets did / didn’t get you into USF / IOA.
It’s so unpredictable! Everyone on social media complains about it!!
Last year Universal did a great job of giving audio stories about the lore of the houses. They were great & when I got inside I felt more connected!
My DD listened to them by the pool at our hotel after we got there and had been a couple nights. She found the houses even better knowing the stories!
Here’s one of them
We got the full line-up of last last year by the second week of August! I looked through the podcast listings and saw the one for “all houses reveled” aired on 8/16/22. By then though I already knew them all.
So announcements should start coming relatively fast and furious from here on out then! Or maybe we can at least get one a week haha. I’m impatient!!! editing to add that i didn’t know about the stories! I’ll definitely look for those this year!
If I remember correctly (it was my first HHN so no promises) they announced like 5 of the houses one at a time and then did the rest on a “full reveal” day.
If anyone else can remember better than me, please, chime in!
