    I am not looking out to get anyone in trouble, I understand maybe someone was just told to do something by their higher up, but I am in disbelief this is Universal operations at HHN. I am simply sharing my experience and hope this never happens to any guest on their visit.

      People pay to experience the entire event. So, I strongly believe all mazes should have an abundant of scare actors until the last soul crosses through them.

      paying $150+ per person to be shoved through the maze and trailed like that to the point where your night was ruined enough to leave early is unacceptable, heads would have rolled if i had this experience. i would have 1000% persued either a refund or ammended ticket if not going after their fkn job had this happened to me.

      Team member here. I want to share this perspective because this is something that unfortunately comes directly from our supervisors and leads to pushing as many guests thru the mazes to hit a specific quota. If the quota isn’t met by the end of the night, we are in big trouble. It puts us team members in a tough and awkward place as we ruin the experience for guests such as yourself. If we don’t do our job, we get in trouble for not being vocal and encouraging guests to keep moving. It’s a very frustrating situation for everyone included and nobody wins in either case. Hopefully, this will be resolved in the future with a better solution.

    As a worker for HHN we get it, it is frustrating to tell you guys to keep moving but please understand we’re forced to tell you by our supervisors and if we don’t they coach us. I also understand why they tell us to hurry the lines and it is because we have to keep the wait time shorter and because we have to meet a certain count of people per minute. Now, the house host that followed you the whole way, that you should’ve 100% told a supervisor because none of us are allowed to do that. As of this week we’re also not allowed to say “keep moving” unless it is REALLY necessary because they want the vibes of the house to “not be ruined” but we do flash the lights of our wands if we see someone come to a full stop. They did notice it was getting annoying for many to get yelled at and I’m glad we don’t have to do that anymore but speaking in general, just please don’t tell us to shut the fuck up guys… we used to get that so often and it’s just frustrating cause like I said before we were told to do that. Just be respectful and if you feel like you had a bad experience you’re always welcome to tell our supervisors and they’ll most likely let you go through the maze again.
    Also please bring this kind of things up to the supervisors! They change the way we do things almost everyday to improve your guys experiences and they do take note of what guests say at least in the house I’m working at!

    I don't complain to supervisors either. I remember I visited Disneyland's princess restaurant (I already forgot the name). I was waiting to meet Rapunzel after the CM told me to wait behind a dad and his kid. Just as the dad was finished with the interaction, the new CM (who just got there) put 2 entire families right in front of me (not seeing that I was already in another spot where the previous CM told me to wait). The 2 families were taking forever so I got a quick picture with Mulan (who had no line). I then got behind the 2nd family so I could finally meet Rapunzel. The CM told me that Rapunzel had to leave after that family. i told her I was already waiting in line when she put 2 families in front of me. The CM snapped at me, and told me that's what I get for leaving the line. I tried several times later to explain to the CM calmly what happened, but she was not hearing it. She thought I was being entitled or something but I was already waiting in that damn line when she added more people in front of me. I never met a Disney employee who openly started something with a guest. I couldn't bring myself to get a supervisor though

I want to be able to get my money's worth. And I am expecting a good jump scare. You're paying a lot of money for a one day ticket event. No one should be telling anybody to keep moving or walking behind anybody that close. Like they did to you this time around. I honestly believe that KSF is the best and is where your money should be. HHN is just way overhyped, and they dont know how to treat ppl. 😒 I am glad you posted this video. It's time that ppl speak up on this matter. They need to leave us alone. And let us walk inside a maze in peace.

    We had a team member aggressively yell at my nephew to keep moving while we were on the terror team trail. He was waiting for my husband and I. His tone really irritated me but I chose not to say anything. You’re absolutely correct. It kills the mood. Not only that, but we went through the mazes and could tell that there were scenes that were missing scare actors. For example, Texas Chainsaw, the cow was missing in the beginning and there were like 3 empty rooms. Next year, I think we’re going to Knotts

I was super disappointed.

I could reach out in front of me and touch in the person in front us.

    It all started when I got there an hour early and one of the tour guides told me to sit down and wait. The tone was nasty and later I heard on the radio a description of four younger guys ditching their guide without notice. The description sounded like the dudes in her group.
    Then the tram ride was basically turned into an Uber to get to the bottom. It was rushed and they didn’t tour the backlot at all. With no lights on in the lot obviously a “tour” was not happening.

      @@SocalTallGuy I agree. Honestly speaking, GA for HHN is possibly one of the worst experiences at any Haunt attraction I have ever done. I did GA back when they did Haunting of Hill House, but we were so miserable is lines and crowds that we went home early. I’m a theme park girly and I like to stay to get my moneys worth, but ever since then we decided to do RIP moving forward. I can’t imagine someone paying $80-$100 for GA to only stand in line maybe for hours to have someone yell at you the entire time going through the house. I love HHN only if I’m doing RIP, but if I’m doing GA I’m going to Knotts scary farm.

It was shocking we paid so much money and had such a hurried and uncomfortable experience through the mazes. We flew in from Houston just to spend one night there and one night at Knotts. Knotts was WAY better in comparison. I was so disappointed with HHN this year :(

Tell them about your experience and how it was disappointing for the price paid and the travel time to get there. I know they won’t give you anything i return but atleast they may take this feedback and work on improvements.

    It's true the conga line is bad for mazes, They should totally section ppl off, yes it slows down the line but will make the experience better where you can actually get scared instead of seeing someone in front get jump scared a mile away. Those mazes that aren't at the big amusement parks are doing a better job honestly.
