#HHN2023 Stay & Scream Locations
Stay & Scream allows guests who are in Universal Studios (with a day ticket, 'Scream Early' ticket or an annual pass) to stay in the park at closing time. Guests must have a valid HHN admission ticket because HHN is a separately ticketed event!!!
The Universal Studios Florida park usually closes at 5:00 PM on event nights in order for staff to reset for the evening's HHN event. Regular park guests are directed to the park exit at closing.
Stay & Scream guests are moved to specified holding areas within the park to await the 6:30 PM opening of Halloween Horror Nights. Stay & Scream guests do not need to exit the park and line up to re-enter for HHN! The holding areas have food, beverages & restroom access.
Guests waiting in the Stay & Scream holding areas are released to specific haunted houses just prior to the official event start time. Each holding area funnels guests to different available haunted houses. This means Stay & Scream guests are the first guests in the haunted house queues prior to the opening of the front gate to regular guests! This is a significant advantage! (You are also free to move on to another open location within the park if you choose!)
