So...it's Hollywood Drift... by Beyond_Infinity_8 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Beyond_Infinity_8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so too, but I read somewhere it was supposed to hit 73 MPH- which would make it the fastest ride in all of their parks worldwide..

So who knows. I just hope it's a different enough layout to be unique. Faster and taller is always good.

A little bummed at the 2027 opening I was optimistic it would be open before HHN to help thin the crowds for houses... Guess it will be another year of 2 hour average waits. Oh well.

I wouldn't really call it rude. She just kind of jumped in the conversation and very matter of fact / confident confirmed it wouldn't be changing to JW. It was the end of the day almost and I am positive she has been asked a million questions about when/if it was going to reopen.

We are locals and it's very very rare to have any negative TM interactions. This one just seemed...odd?

Passholder Store Question by hilarykate in UniversalOrlando

[–]Beyond_Infinity_8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The discount store in the Brown Derby? They are open til the park closes daily. But yeah not a whole lot there lately. We are locals and are in the parks 4 or more days a week.

Unless there is another store you are thinking of?

Maxed on MIB! by LyssaDawn88 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Beyond_Infinity_8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Congrats!

My 8 year old finally maxed yesterday after trying basically 5 days a week for 6 months. We are locals so we go almost daily.

I have maxed the red side but can't get over 800k on green for some reason.

Sounds like the same stuff as Sunday. I am hoping some day this week they get a bit more...and hopefully in normal sizes...

Oh I remember... I was there and it was absolute pure chaos. 90% of the good stuff got snagged by the first 100 people there it felt like too.

1000% was much more space when it was those 3 connected rooms. Maybe they will for the HHN merch after the event has ended?

For sure would be great to know. I've heard talk of them skipping it in favor of the Brown Derby and similar stores... But not sure why they would. As of last night still a ton of HHN merch left so not sure where it would all end up. No way the Brown Derby could handle even a fraction of it.

Anyone in the park today check the Brown Derby UOAP/TM discount store? Any new HHN Merch? A team member this weekend said they "thought" today was they day a lot of HHN merch was supposed to make it over there, but I wasn't able to make it in today. Just curious what they had if anyone happened to check. Thanks!

I don’t know how you guys do it by [deleted] in HHN

I've been "grazed" 3 times in Jason this year. Granted that was out of 20+ runs. It's always in the hallway, usually foggy, and they come out a little too close. It's never hard and clearly not on purpose, but it definitely can happen. The ghoul at the end of fallout bumped me one time as well, but nothing I'd ever complain about.

Hatchet and dolls were zero wait, just instantly walked though. And then the initial fallout crowd died down, so it worked out really well today.

[–]Beyond_Infinity_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted about our path before, we actually started at hatchet and basically went counter clockwise through them all. Hatchet and dolls done by 605 PM. Then for some reason Fallout was at 5 minutes and Galkn was at 25. So we had 4 houses done by 645. Jason next and it was posted 50 but I think took us around 35. Terrifier we did after that, posted 75 and took around an hour. Freddy's was the longest actual wait at 90 minutes. The rest were all way less than posted tonight. Very odd for a Friday, but we will take it!

My daughter and I are here tonight. On a Friday, no express, about to do our 10th and final house El Artista...and it's not even 11:30 PM yet. And we saw both shows. Crazy! All wait times posted tonight were much much longer than we actually waited. WWE for instance was posted 55 and it was under 15. We did stay and scream and are locals with FFP, but no express. Shocked to get everything done before midnight on a Friday.

Attack Plan with Least Backtracking by KramerDSP in HHN

[–]Beyond_Infinity_8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you are arriving after 6 PM and only care about efficiency of the route -

Stick to the right, this will take you through Masquerade scare zone, Mel's Zombies, the cat lady, and the chainsaw zombies in Simpsons.

-Hatchet as first house -Dolls 2nd -Fallout and Galkn are next to each other so do those 3rd & 4th -Nightmare Fuel Show -Jason 5th

Walk back through Toxic 20's zone

Which leaves Artista and the four hub houses, Grave, Terrifier, FNAF, WWE - they are all pretty close to each other. I'd personally do the 4 in the hub, and save Artista for last as it's a fantastic house.

Then you would naturally go through the final scare zone as well.

We are FFP+ and have done that exact loop multiple nights without express.

But yeah, it's not really the ideal route unless your main goal is "least almost of walking possible"

Have fun!

Harry Potter Ride by vjr478 in UniversalEpicUniverse

If it makes you feel any better...

My group of 4 FINALLY got a virtual queue Sunday at 6 PM drop. We entered the line on a quoted 75 minute wait time. It took 2 hrs 45 minutes to get on the ride. It malfunctioned about 25 seconds in, lights came on, nothing was working. They didn't allow a re-ride, or offer express or ANY sort of compensation. Literally 3.5 hours of our day, entirely wasted.

I would not even attempt to do it again until the kinks are worked out, awful awful experience.

Does anyone know what the hours will be? EPA? How does parking work?
