coasterfreak101 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Are you still able to put your hands up? I would think that they would want the shoulder harnesses so that people wouldn't be able to put their hands up during the near-miss sections. On that strand, I wonder if the extra constraint like that has anything to do with the Dueling Dragons incidents? These BSG coasters are the only other dueling set Universal runs...

SharkTums Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 ^Judging from the signs we saw, instructional videos, and ride op announcements I believe they went this route to stop the mainly Asian population from leaning over on the coaster and hurting themselves by smashing their face/head into the lap bar. You see this riding style all over Asia and it's not good for your body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbydinn Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 ^ The haunt itself actually hasn't started yet. It only runs Oct 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27 and 28. You can see the theming of its scare zones though, here: http://lukeandthetempleoffun.blogspot.sg/2012/09/halloween-horror-nights-2-construction.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digimax Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I'm back from two nights of Halloween Horror Nights 2. The Haunted Houses are much better than last year's and the scare zones are definitely more elaborate. The scare factor has been raised by a few levels. However, the park's attractions were overwhelmed by flood of guests and this is quite an issue at some venues. Opening up Far Far Away and Madagascar didn't help much because most guests would just run through those areas. The event lasts for 4 hours but waiting time for Dungeon of Damnation (Haunted House) peaked at 2.5 hours in the middle of the night. Even the wait time for the shortest Haunted House, Death Alley, went up to 100 minutes! Waiting time aside, the Haunted Houses and Scare zones were very enjoyable. There were still surprises for me even after my 2nd and 3rd walkthrough. Halloween Horror Nights 2 review | dejiki.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 ^ Wow! So maybe the real creative talent just moved to a different park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 ^ Wow! So maybe the real creative talent just moved to a different park? I'm convinced that Universal Orlando just decided, "Coming up with a theme is a pain. Let's just do random haunted stuff--then pretend later that our theme was 'The Walking Dead.'" It's good see Singapore stepping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteornotes Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 This looks amazing. Would love to check it out some year. And I still think HHN started going down hill when they started "licensing" mazes instead of creating all their own IP. I think spending the money on licenses cut into what they could spend on other things, and they just started to remove them from the budget. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 They announced on their Facebook page that the park hours for the remaining HHN nights have been expanded until 1AM. Good to see this event be so successful so quick! The scare zone scenes look great...I'd love to see that back at UO and at USH as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's due to numerous complaints from some people that the wait times are too long and that they couldn't experience more than one attraction (ride or haunted house) in 4hours.
