Mrs.
- I was never so disappointed as when myself, daughter and two other friends went on a Thursdat night. WE had to park extremely far away and it took forever to get into the park. By the time we got into the park we were only able to do two activities because of standing in line so long. We waited over two and a half hours in line for the Chucky haunted house. We only got to do the Simpson's ride and then our time was up. What a disappointment, and never mind about the cost, which turned out to be outrageas for the amount of activities we got to do. I'd like my money back!

Do NOT waste your money
- We went to HHN when it was at Islands of Adventure and it was great, but this year at Universal Studios really disappointed. Only three rides were open. THREE. And there were up to 90 minute waits for the haunted houses and they weren't even scary. We went thinking there would be more rides and that would have meant shorter lines for the haunted houses. Also, the only time I was scared all night was when my sister grabbed my arm. Universal needs to quit being so CHEAP and open the rides!! We're never going back. Spread the word.

a total disappointment
- I went in 1997 when I was in high school and remembered it being the highlight of my trip. I was very excited to get to bring my family to it this year as we all very much enjoy Halloween, and scary movies. I was totally disappointed. We went on a Thursday and there were elbow to elbow people. most lines for the haunted houses were over an hour long, and not very scary once you got inside. Each one only took about 5 min to go through and they keep telling you to go through faster,so it is just one continuous line through. Most haunted houses I've been to in other places send a group in them wait a min or two then send another in, but I guess when you are trying to accommodate over a hundred thousand people it makes it hard to do. If being in a giant crowd of 12-18 year olds and waiting in giant lines is your idea of fun then you will love it. The fast pass would definitely help, but it's 3x the price of the fast pass you get during the day, and since the houses suck anyway DON'T BOTHER

avoid bill and ted show
- I went, and the show, "Bill and Ted" is one homophobic "gay people are so gay/feminine/repulsive/etc." so-called-joke after another. I was so offended that I heckled the stage until they threw me out. It was one anti-gay 'joke' after another, to the point that it was bizarre. Don't go. Or do go, and heckle them like I did. It was empowering.

Universal Halloween Horror Night - worst
- The worst I have ever attended. One line was 90 minute wait. Universal spent as little as possible on the event. After waiting in very long lines you got stobe lights, walked thru some gauze and had badly dressed costumed characters say boo .. do not waist your money on this. They were more interested in selling booze and express pass tickets than entertaining the crowd. Busch Gardens Hallow Scream last year was so much more surperior. I thought Universal would out do them .. what a let down ... seriously do not waist your money on this event. There was nothing scary about it. A local organization putting on a haunted house could have done better than the might and money of Universal Studios in Orlando. And on top of it all, most of the parks amusement rides were closed for the night. The best part was the extra 15 bucks paid to get into Islands of Adventure. Oh, and once inside a haunted house ... they rush you out. Five friends with me that felt the same way. So not just my opinion.

Even adults love it
- I first started going to HHN in the mid 1990's. It was fright at first sight! At that time IOA did not exist and the haunt was held in Universal Studios. It has quickly grown in size and fright factor. The haunted houses get better each year. I especially liked the Body Collectors. The demons in this house all looked alike. They appeared to be talk lanky bald undertaker-type monsters who enjoyed administering pain. My favorite scene in this maze was when I came around a corner and saw a girl lying face down on a table, screaming for help as the demon was ripping her spine out of her back. Way to go Universal!

loved it!
- Ok seriously if you havent been to halloween horror nights yet , there is something wrong with you. This is a MUST. It's something you deffinitely will never forget. My first time was last year and I was scared out of my mind , but I had so much fun. The haunted houses are a must. They are AMAZING. Some of the stuff seems so real, especially when youve had a few drinks.. hahaha. Anyways if you're gonna go, go with agroup of friends or your family, whatever. Either way you will have an amazing time - and go on all the rides, especially the hulk, dueling drgaons, and the mummy ahhh . dont forget spiderman :). BUY AN EXPRESS PASS. It is totally worth it you get to go on everything at least once GUARENTEED. Now go buy your tickets, and book a hotel room and get over to Universal Orlandos Halloween Horror Nights now!!!!

2006 Halloween Horror Nights
- What a disapointment. BOOOORING. They have halved the amount that was offered in previous years. People were leaving after two hours. There was nothing to do. The houses looked like they were put together by grade school kids. The show on the lake was nothing but clips of horror movies. People kept standing around after it ended waiting for a finale. The whole show was a movie trailer reel. The only ride open was the Mummy.
