Sue Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Going to be visiting the park for the first time in a little over a week. Anyone have suggestions on what order we should hit the attractions to be avoid lines? Also, are there any food recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 What do you guys think Nighttime Studio Tours and F&F Supercharged will do for USH next year? I think it will really help extend the day, and the capacity for the park. The tram tour is the single biggest draw for the park, and having it open for several more hours will really help spread crowds out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercoaster5 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Wow i had no idea how big FF:SC was gonna be. Sure to be an awesome addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behemothman08 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure if this belongs here, but a couple of hours ago, it was announced that Halloween Horror Nights in both Hollywood and Orlando would have a Walking Dead maze for the third year in a row. Hollywood's event will feature a maze based off of the fourth season along with the return of Terror Tram: Invaded by The Walking Dead and another scare zone themed to the show.

DBJ Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 For first time visit, I would attempt to get there at park opening. The ride order I would generally do would be to head straight to the lower lot. I personally love the Transformers ride, so typically I would do that first. Depending on the line build up, either do Transformers twice in a row, or then head to Mummy, repeat depending on line. Depending on weather, bounce over to Jurrassic Park. If timing works out, possibly to knock out those three lower lot attractions in less than an hour, multiple times even. There is a listing of wait times on the lower lot for the park by the stairway. I always consult that before heading up to the upper lot. Head back up to upper lot, eyeball the wait times for Despicable Me and The Simpsons, and choose accordingly. After finishing the "rides", you can take in Waterworld or Tram Tour. Both are high capacity , and line moves quickly. The in-park food is not amazing. I find it better to snack in the park, then to have an actual meal there, because there are so many better options on the Citywalk. Right outside the gates is Saddle Ranch, which is pretty good if you are a fan of bbq. Bubbba Gump shrimp can be ok, Hard Rock is average, Johnny Rockets is decent, and there is the typical food court option across from the movie theater as well.

Jew Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 wait times are available anywhere at ushwaittimes.com on your phone. I agree with getting to the park early---the summer season is slowly beginning, so it will be getting a bit more crowded. But if you get there at park opening, you can beat much of the crowds! I disagree on the food options though---you're not going to find anything earth shattering, but there are many quality options. The nachos, grilled cheese, and salad at Gru's cafe are great theme park food items. Flinstones BBQ is big portions and decent BBQ for theme park standards. The Palace Cafe has lots of decent grab and go sandwiches/wraps/etc. as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I do like the Flinstone's BBQ and Louie’s Pizza & Pasta. CityWalk does have some good places, but I'll usually hit those after the park closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someotherguyuser Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I know it's early, but I'm going to post a prediction on this year's lineup for HHN: -Dracula Untold in House of Horrors -The Conjuring in Persian Square -Cabin in the Woods in the Mummy overflow -American Werewolf in London in the JP overflow -the original concept maze in the backlot -Alien VS Predator in the sound stage -Walking Dead has already been confirmed.

Jew Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 $209-$239 depending on the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Cool deal. Thanks. Planning our Halloween run of LA and decided to add HHN to the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 $209-$239 depending on the night Please tell me there's other ways to get the express pass aside from VIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 There is a regular front of line pass for $119-$150 that is only one time use per maze/attraction. VIP is unlimited and includes a gourmet dinner (and the opportunity to drink---only place at HHN you can get beer or wine) in additional to an exclusive vignette/scare as part of your backlot tour (you still get an abridged version of the daytime VIP tour).

coasternate Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 On a Monday and a Tuesday in late August, I am visiting the park for the first time. Does anyone have an idea as to how busy it may be? My family and I wants to be able to do pretty much everything.(I'm also going to Knott's the next day.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Any one see the new Purge movie? Could be a great idea for the terror tram. Would be cool if they could use some of the city facades for parts of the tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_IntaMAN_ Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Walking Dead's already been confirmed for Terror Tram. I hope the Purge returns in some way or another though 'cuz I really liked the scare zone last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Just got this email from the park. I'm beyond excited for HHN this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behemothman08 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'd get your last walkthroughs of House of Horrors in sometime this month or next, I've heard it's ceasing daytime operations September 1st and permanently closing after Halloween Horror Nights. That stupid Face Off maze will be the last time we'll see HoH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 ^ Are they already planning on getting a Gringott's installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBJ Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I can't say I will miss house of horrors. I always thought it would be more interesting as queque line for an attraction. I am sure that Gringott is in the planning stages down the line. The location of it will be interesting placement, no doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
