Anticipated offerings:

haunted houses, scare zones & roaming haunts throughout the park

Shows: A musical dance show, outdoor show with special effects along with DJs & party zones

several coasters operating along with a potential hour early entry into the park

yay - another option to consider! May switch it up and try this rather than HHN this year - especially if Universal eliminates BOGO tic and/or their ticket prices are significantly higher than last year. Thanks for starting the thread!

Any options for Quick Queue?

Any options for Quick Queue?

Just bare bones info so far. Think it’s reasonable they would offer that option as a money maker fir them

 

[keishashadow]

They hinted on Twitter yesterday a possible multi night tix

keeping my fingers crossed for a season pass

 

[Joanna71985]

And it's official! Just announced that there will be a season pass for HOS at both SW, as well as SW and BG! I think it's a really good price too

 

[keishashadow]

Appears there is an AP discount. Not sure how much, we let our passes go this spring (hoping for a blue friday ).

If PH can/will check, please post.

It was a $5 per ticket discount when I checked our early September dates.

Still waiting to hear something about this - really hope they offer it. Otherwise imagine the lines will be nuts, it being the inaugural year with everyone itching to travel.

Purchased our tickets for opening night, September 10th.

I too am hoping for a quick queue or tour option, and honestly I'll be VERY surprised if SW doesn't offer one. When they have an opportunity to bring in extra income, I'm sure they will capitalize on it.

Bring on the event merchandise, too! Seaworld, take my money lol.

hey...does anyone know if there's a way to buy these tickets elsewhere to avoid the website's $10 service fee - I hate these bogus add on fees - that's almost 1/3 of the total ticket price.

would be nice if they could be purchased in advance (as in now) at the park gates at Guest Services, either at SW or even Aquatica.

Perhaps somebody could inquire when they next visit the park?

updated sticky, SW is/will be rolling out out additional info in what appears to be an intriguing way, bit of a puzzle to try to figure out the various symbols.

Reading SW's promo comments, (thanks for posting, Keishashadow ,) seems like SW is pointedly positioning themselves as the more intense, unfiltered horror experience ("we're not shying away from the scares"). Sounds like a dig at their much bigger HHN competitor - so many HHN fans have complained on FB in the past few years that the event's intensity keeps getting watered down to satisfy more sensitive families/kids.

Feels like they're striving for a version of what HHN used to be years ago as their competitive differentiator? Would be super smart, imo. People seem to like the Busch Gardens Tampa HowlOScream - they even still sell the IV drink bags or nurse shots, I think.

Of course, SW lacks the theatrical chops, studio resources and mammoth budget of HHN - they can't match the extraordinary special effects, sets and scareactors, but maybe SW can make up for it by keeping things a bit more intense.

but maybe SW can make up for it by keeping things a bit more intense

competition is always a great thing in helping to keep the bar high! The parks are vying for that share of the pie. The newcomer is smart to tweak things in some fashion to lure the fan base to give it a whirl.

U has definitely toned down the adult level of their HHN offerings. not sure if they are trying to be more inclusive to kiddos or leaning to being more politically correct. IMO horror rarely works well without elements that are controversial in some degree to many.
