These are the same people that will attempt to sue because their child was traumatized by a scare actor.
I wanna bring my ESA kitty... if I ever get one.

You don't get how hard it is to have 1 day of practice on-the-job and then be expected to go out there and be perfect... especially when 75% of Events ops employers for example are seasonal or new hires for the event. A lot of the scareactors are ALSO new hires and many having never done an HHN before (I'd say it tends to be around 50% every year... maybe slightly less).
So while @Legacy and I highlighted that part of that could be to preserve the body throughout the run, another part could simply be that we're two days into a 36 day event. Give the actors in the houses and streets this first weekend to get acclimated to their environment and feeling out which scares work and which don't. There's not a magic switch that turns on and everyone is all of a sudden perfect.
6 out of 10? Hmmmm, yea I guess I'm going to be springing for express, I wanna ride some rides too, and only way to guarantee everything is with express.FWIW, last night the crowds were very tolerable. We were able to get 6 houses done.
I could have done them all last night if I wanted to. I got 6 and arrived about 7:30, back at hotel by 10:30 when it started raining. Much better ops and crowd levels6 out of 10? Hmmmm, yea I guess I'm going to be springing for express, I wanna ride some rides too, and only way to guarantee everything is with express.
Yeah, my friend was able to get it as soon as we got in at like 7:30 for 10pm and we just had to wait till 10Anyone have any luck getting the after 10 express this weekend? I'm heading out there on Sunday and plan to be at the gate well before rope drop.
I wonder how woozy is too woozy? Do people weave and tilt all plastered at this event?
“Visibly intoxicated” so slurred speech, impaired motor control, etc.
While it’s not as sober as a normal operating day it’s better than F&W.
definitely none of that happening
Sunday night was way better than Friday night crowd-wise. There were times and areas where it was legit empty, and we managed to get 8 houses done in 2 and a half hours or so with express.
Ops are getting better but still have some work to do, had 4 women film and selfie the entirety of Poltergeist last night, stopping and posing every couple of steps. It was so bad I ended up telling 6 Ops members inside the house with all of them just shrugging and telling us to keep going, except 1 that actually said something that was completely ignored. Quite a departure from Blumhouse earlier in the night where we got yelled at by every op for not being so close to the people in front we could tell what they had for dinner.
The biggest issues I see this year so far are the guests having no respect and kids under 10 (there are a lot!). Also for whatever reason the poor Klowns are like a magnet for horrible guest behavior. Haven't really seen too many people drunk but we have been leaving earlier in the night. There was a lovely man last night that offered my daughter and I free entry into a gentleman's club in Coco. It sounded like a great deal, free entry, drinks, and dances for me and my 16 year old daughter........ He told me she would love it several times so maybe it will be an early Christmas present :thud:

Nah, my bud got told to put his phone away once we past the op manning the line entry into the house before we were within 20 ft. of the Soundstage’s entrance.There's been lots of filming/photography in the houses. I thought maybe they'd allowed it now? I witnessed none of the ops team members telling them to stop.
My first year this year at HHN, went on opening night and was surprised to see a woman with a stroller, a man with a baby strapped to his chest, and 3 dogs (including a puppy) in the line for StrThgs. Was shocked but didn't know if this was the norm!
Also several younger kids (i know it just suggests 13 and above) but one looked about 8 that Chucky made a point of asking him how old he was and why his mother had allowed him to come (or something along those lines)
If you claim your dog is a service animal, you are actually allowed to ask two questions: What the animal is trained for and what disability it is for service. Therapy animals are not covered under the ADA.

I was thanked several times as I slipped my phone into my pocket when I was entering the houses, nothing like some positive reinforcement. I am there to see the houses not see them through a camera or snapchat every turn.Nah, my bud got told to put his phone away once we past the op manning the line entry into the house before we were within 20 ft. of the Soundstage’s entrance.
Oh wow, so if i plan to be there at 6 for rope drop, should have a pretty good chsnce no? Which day was it?Yeah, my friend was able to get it as soon as we got in at like 7:30 for 10pm and we just had to wait till 10
Ah gotcha man. I haven't gone since 24, and I feel lost with so many changes the last couple of years.Well we got there at 7:30p, spent time in zones, and had an hour rain delay/pizza fries stop. We weren’t going full tilt.

I understand people need service animals but i agree, just like carrying a child through these areas i think it's unfair to them.
My first HHN so i've not filmed inside at all as want to enjoy it. My friend did pull out her phone and after about 2 minutes was told no recording.
Then again i was filming in one of the Zones and looks like i had my flash on without realising and was told by a team member to turn the flash off. I did so instantly not realising it was on. Is it a rule anyway no flash? Flash photography was everywhere :think:
