Is The Wizarding World of Harry Potter part of HHN?
Halloween Horror Nights will not extend to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon
Alley area of the park, which will remain closed throughout the events. The area will be
opening during normal park hours but will close once HHN begins.
However: In 2014, Universal Orlando held a test which meant that guests who were inside
Diagon Alley before parking closing and had either a park-to-park ticket OR a HHN ticket
couldremaininsideDiagonAlleyuptothreehoursaftertheparkofficiallyclosed-assoon
as guests exited Diagon Alley they would not be allowed to re-enter. It is unclear whether
this system will be re-used in 2015 or even if it will be more widely publicized.
Pricing:
Ticket sales for 2015 are not yet open. For reference, in 2014 a single general admission
ticket was priced at $95.99 on the gate or it could also be purchased at ht-
tp://www.halloweenhorrornights.com/orlando/tickets.html in advance. Think this is ex-
pensive? We agree, see the other ticket options below.
For online purchases made in advance, the Rush of Fear pass was priced at $75.99 and al-
lowed entry at every event night during the first 3 weeks of 2014 for one low price. A Rush
of Fear + HHN Express Pass option was also available which allowed you entry during
the first 3 weeks of 2015 as well as allowing you to bypass the regular lines one time at all
the haunted houses, plus participating rides and attractions.
