not a family event

[brer big bear]

i was reading on another site that at hhh they are going to serve beer why? do we really need that why are we encouraging are kids to drink. shame on universal for not seeing family first who want to go to a place to see drunks or rowdy people starting fights. please if i want to waste 50 dollars i would not waste it on a drunk filled park.

Halloween Horror Nights is an ADULT event by all means. It is in no manner intended for children.

thats fine

why do we have to have people drinking i don't know about anyone else but i don't want to get puked on or get into a scuffle with someone.

 

[RobFL]

Epcot offers people alcohol daily, as does Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. You're over reacting.

hey rob

serving beer is not good at universal think about at universal they have more thrill rides then epcot. the more twist and turn on a ride makes a person sick on a full belly. i'm saying i don't want to go to hhh and i'm in a maze and some guy or women pukes. also universal is a college hang out to drink and party so have you ever went to a hhh if so how was it

I'm not RobFL but IMO HHN is complete mayhem! I have never had more fun at any theme park during an after hours event. There will be some intoxicated people but no where near the capcity that I think your expecting. Most everyone is there to enjoy the mazes and shows. AND remember Universal lays the security and staffing thick during these events.

I am surprised you would want to go back after your last visit to Universal.

When I first looked into this event I was advised by a lot on this forum that this was DEF an adult event and that I should go to MNSSHP ........so I did

HHN is advertised & widely known to be adult-appropriate.

Rob is right...beer is also served at EPCOT, so....ummm.....?????
Not to mention, just because beer is offered, that does not mean that people will automatically be drunk, ill, stupid, dangerous, etc. Most people of drinking age do have self control & know their limits. Personally, I've never known anyone to go to a theme park & chug a keg or anything. By the same token, I don't know anyone who gets obnoxious on one or two beers. Those who have a particularly low tolerance usually know that & don't drink. Beverages with REAL alcoholic content are served in most restaurants (even Denny's), many amusement parks, holiday gatherings, etc., but that doesn't mean automatically that anything negative will happen due to that! It's a bit extreme to think this signifies certain disaster! Even with thrill rides! Heck, people COULD be dumb enough to eat a large lunch & then ride IOA's The Hulk back to back 5 times, but just because IOA serves food doesn't mean you'll get puked on!

Seriously, you are blowing this out of proportion just a bit.

Calm down, calm down........SeaWorld and Busch Gardens don't sell it - they give it away :sohappy:

You're not going to see that many intoxicated guests, especially at the prices the parks charge for a beer! I figure it comes out close to $20+ for a 6-pack.

It's like beer heaven isn't it? Warm weather and free ale - KING!! :slurp:

I have seen that HHN does have the rowdy crowd and is not a family crowd. Last you you couldn't go down a street without seeing a Dracula's Tavern. I must say this event does get a considerably larger number of drinkers than Busch has on any normal day. Despite this, I haven't seen any fights or vomiting there and security is pretty tight at these events. It's not for the little ones, but young teenagers and older can handle the event.

But you can buy beer in Universdal parks all the time...

So much negativity...

Oh, I dunno, we took our son when he was 3 and when he was 4 and he thoughouly enjoyed himself.So much so that he is begging us to postpone our vacation 2 month next year so that we can go again. (He'll be 7)

Yeah, I suppose some smaller ones can and do like HHN, but I'd say generally the majority would be scared or out of place at the event.

 

[Legacy]

Shoot, I'm 19 and have never been. I am telling my friends who scare easily to NOT come. I am fully aware of how intense it is... that is why I never went.

(But for some reason I am working it... go fig.) :hammer:

Gee, they sell alcohol in Epcot. One of my favorite College Program games was Drink Around the World. Whoever was standing at the end of the day was the winner. Epcot is a family park, no?

And lest we forget that alcohol is also available at MGM...just a few short steps down the street from both RockinRollercoaster and Tower of Terror...both thrill packed, possibly vomit inducing rides depending on one's constitution whether sober or drunk.

Like the others who have replied to you, what's the big deal? Why are you having such a hairy hissy fit over IOA serving alcohol during HHN, which is clearly NOT a family condusive event? You'd have better odds of getting protein spills sprayed on you if you go out to bars or nightclubs, IMO.
