Halloween Horror Nights RIP Tour 2023 | Universal Studios Hollywood

Are you able to go through the houses more than once with front of the line access?

[@Creating.A.Dream.]

Yes, you can go through the houses multiple times after your tour has ended. However, you don't get front of the line access, you go through the normal express line. Note that you can leave your tour group at any time you want to.

at Hollywood, yes. in Orlando, no. and as mentioned, this year you're supposed to use the express line, tho some houses don't care apparently

What time was your tour versus the earlier one?

[@Creating.A.Dream.]

Great question! Our tour time was 7:10 but you can get tour times as early as 5:30.

Did you get to watch the shows ?

[@Creating.A.Dream.]

Great question, thanks for the comment! Our tour did not make it to the shows unfortunately. The blum house show had a fire alarm go off so it was shut down before we could get there and we didn't make the last time slot for the Purge show. We did see tour groups going to the shows though, so your mileage may vary. I would say if you get an earlier tour time it would make it to the shows.

Apparently because of the early access tickets this year, they made a change to the RIP where they make you wait 40 mins before your tour to check in (or I guess 60 in your case). It's a really bad policy because if you have a late tour, you lose all the extra time to use the pass and they also made it so RIP is supposed to use Express lanes this year, tho apparently some houses turn a blind eye to that.

Early access could definitely be the reason for the change to the RIP entrance times. Agreed that it's unfortunate for the RIP people to lose out on event time due to that policy. Hopefully it was just an opening weekend mishap and it resolves itself. We did notice that some houses had separate lines for RIP and express and some didn't. I assume that there just isn't enough space for all the queue space this year. Again, hopefully that gets resolved as the event goes on.
