HHN has always been a goal, we were just waiting for DD to turn 13 (her rule for some odd reason). She loves intense haunts, and has gone to local since she was 5. Yearly Halloween Haunt, Fear Fair, Nightmare on Edgewood, Dent Schoolhouse, etc. So this will step up the intensity a bit. I've been saving for a splurge since we skipped a 2020 vacation.Planning varies depending on a number of factors. I can give you some good tips to consider. For starters, if you plan to hit HHN only once then get a discounted AP ticket, an express pass, and make sure you are in the park at least 90 minutes before the park closes so you can get into the AP waiting areas. That will get you access to at least 2 houses before everyone else gets in. If you are doing multiple trips, get a frequent fear pass based on your preferred days. The lower end frequent fear pass gets you a few days while the high end gets you a lot more. Some even come with an express pass built in though its a bit pricey. How you do the houses can vary depending on your priorities. Some prefer to do only the big houses and some prefer the simple tent houses. If universal doesn't appeal to you though you always have howloscream as an alternative.

This year may have a change to the ticketing format. They usually release the pricing and combos around the first week of June so we wait and see. The UK sites get a package first so we might get an indication of what they will do when they drop over there.HHN has always been a goal, we were just waiting for DD to turn 13 (her rule for some odd reason).

I wouldn't discount howloscream at busch gardens. On some years they have actually been on par or in some cases even exceeded the quality of HHN. Howloscream also offers some very good deals for the money especially if you book early as the tickets can be as low as $25. In addition if you add fright feast for $30 you get to stay in the park after it closes, enjoy a dinner with entertainment, then 30 minutes of early access, and lastly 1 hour of front of the line access. They also have all the rollercoasters running and likely by that time Iron Gwazi will be running too most likely.HHN has always been a goal, we were just waiting for DD to turn 13 (her rule for some odd reason).

Beetlejuice House first one revealed for HHN 2021
As for house on haunting hill...
A pity. The original haunting was pretty decent. As for billie elliot, glad that is not happening.The rumor was actually The Haunting of Hill House. I've heard it's not happening, and neither is Billie Eilish (a ship that never should've been in port.)
The other two houses that were open in 2020 are supposedly returning, along with the Puppet Theatre house that was already announced.
I wonder if they will be using the other two houses they had left over from last year as well, The tooth fairy and Bride of Frankenstein. The tooth fairy seemed a little weak while the Bride of Frankenstein was actually pretty interesting.
I think so far there was some chatter about something involving evil puppeteers who went crazy and killed their audience and made puppets out of them for this year?I wonder if they will be using the other two houses they had left over from last year as well, The tooth fairy and Bride of Frankenstein. The tooth fairy seemed a little weak while the Bride of Frankenstein was actually pretty interesting. As for the other rumored houses, I doubt the Billie Elish house will be happening as that ship has probably sailed by now. I would still love to see a gremlins house. The merchandise should also be pretty awesome if they can pull it off. As for house on haunting hill, Im not sure if its the Vincent Price version or the modern version. If its the modern version then that strange Rorschach ghost could be kind of a deal killer. It sort of ruined the climax for that movie. The rest of it though could be interesting especially if they try to do the infamous device for turning insane people sane. Im curious how they will be pulling off that crazy projection trick.

Yes, Universal released this about 3 months ago yet strangely haven't put it on the HHN site yet?
I think tooth fairy struggled with scare actor capacity. There were lots of empty boo holes in most runs, and the plexiglass was more noticeable for tooth fairy than it was for Frankenstein. I expect those issues to be improved when brought to a full event.I wonder if they will be using the other two houses they had left over from last year as well, The tooth fairy and Bride of Frankenstein.

That looks like a sales tool. Great to see but I don't know why it would be on the main site.
We are too. We have always bought Frequent Fear Passes in the past, which allows us to do it all over several nights for a good price. Our concern this year is they won't sell these and instead just specific dated tickets if reduced capacity is required to accommodate social distancing. If they do it this way we're a little concerned about how much they'll charge in order to make up for lost earnings.Already started planning my trip for HHN 30. I'm pretty excited for this to say the least.
