Halloween Horror Nights: Our Family Express Pass Experiment - A SIGMA SIDE QUEST -
Welcome to the very first Sigma Side Quest, a new series of shorter episodes exploring the adventures, experiences, and unexpected moments that make life interesting! After experiencing Halloween Horror Nights 2026 on opening night, Rick returns to Universal Studios Hollywood with Salina and their two boys, for another night of scares, thrills, and family fun. But with Unlimited Express passes costing $379 per person, taking the entire family wasn't going to be cheap. Instead of purchasing four Unlimited Express passes, the family decided to try a different ticket arrangement, spending a total of $1,056 on admission and Early Access. Did their experiment work? Was Express worth the investment? And how much could they accomplish in just six hours? Rick breaks down the experience, revisits the haunted houses to see how they compare to opening night, shares why Evil Dead moved up in his rankings, and explains why Stranger Things remains at the bottom. Plus, the family tackles the Terror Tram, enjoys nearly every available ride, discovers the magic of Flight of the Hippogriff at night, and reflects on the joy of watching the boys grow up and enjoy their own adventures. Was it worth it? Find out in the first official Sigma Side Quest!
