HHN 22 was definitely the weakest overall event of recent years. No scare zones (thanks, Superstar Parade!) and most of the houses were mediocre at best. Didn't help that we only had 7. Or that the front of the park was a brightly lit construction zone. It was also the start of intellectual properties making up a majority of the event, a regrettable trend that has unfortunately continued, albeit with better results.
I still give HHN 15 the edge for worst ever. Great idea, terrible execution. The website was better than the event itself. Yeah, good websites. Remember those?
I will stick to the Disney Halloween party. I didn't find the make up and effects scary,, but they were quite well done, it was just the scare actors appearing from nowhere with a blast of strobe and scary music and dry ice etc. I had palpitations for an hour after, I did think the purge area was good, but after that house experience decided to give the houses a miss and utilise the walk on rides instead, anyway I think it lived up to the hype but too intense for me but glad I tried it. It was fun going on rip rocket ride roller coaster and the mummy in the Halloween themed atmosphere though. Was quite surprised at security - x Rays, scanners, armed police, pat downs before going on rip rocket ride etc, but I suppose it must be necessary. Maybe I should have had some drinks like the rest of the park patrons to calm my nerves, but rest of family weren't drinking so I didn't either.
