What Will The Wait Times Be For Haunted Houses At Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood?
Wait times at Halloween Horror Nights typically vary depending on the popularity of each specific house, but certain types of houses are nearly always more popular than others, as detailed below.
We've broken down our analysis of Haloween Horror Nights wait times at Universal Studios Hollywood into two different haunted house types: Franchises and Non-Franchises
Franchises are going to be haunted houses based on movies, tv shows, comics, and other concepts. Examples of previous houses we consider Franchises are Stranger Things, Blumhouse, The Weeknd, and Universal Monsters.
Examples of Non-Franchises from previous Halloween Horror Nights include La Llorna, Spirits of The Coven, and Descendants of Destruction. These are the original concepts that the creative teams behind Halloween Horror Nights craft on their own.
We've also included the Terror Tram in our calculations for the Non-Franchises.
The "Franchise" houses as we refer to them will typically see longer wait times than the "Non-Franchises" because they are more recognizable themes that draw a ton of excitement for Halloween Horror Nights.
The wait times below are our estimates based on the wait times of similar houses in previous years, as well as our expectation that Halloween Horror Nights will be busier in 2023 than ever before.
- Average Franchise House Wait Time: 75 minutes
- Average Non-Franchise House Wait Time: 60 minutes
- Average Weekday Wait Times (All Houses): 60 minutes
- Average Weekend Wait Times (All Houses): 75 minutes
As you can see from our estimates, franchises have significantly longer wait times than Non-Franchises, and weekdays typically see wait times average 25% longer across all houses when compared to weekdays.
