That opening night line last year ... and just after I bailed on it, realizing it stretched literal theme park blocks, the worst storm of the year rolled through.
Yeah, standing in the sun for an hour in Springfield has put my wife and I off of Stay and Scream permanently. They can have my Express money instead.
We avoid standing in those long lines by lining up INCREDIBLY early and probably waiting even longer
I’m hoping it will be too! Or at least sell a nicer version of a map. My OCD is gonna hate not collecting maps every year
We used it last year - we entered around 7 PM and there was no one there. Maybe 1 or 2 people in front of us.
It was great when it opened early into Hellblock, now it just opens same time as main gates, but much less crowded.
Wouldn't that be nice? I hate the NY section, but it does let you get such a jump on everyone else. Even if you're like us and just hang back in a shaded area, you're still able to get almost all four of those done before F&F even starts letting people through.
I could be wrong but didn't Exorcist not open until 6, the same time Chucky opened?
I'm honestly not 100% sure, but I do know that we were meeting friends after we got out of Chucky (after doing the four NY houses). They did Richtor's, and they only had to wait a few minutes for us to get through.
Changes day to day, but last year Stranger Things & Dueling would open between 5:15-5:30 (some days there would be a delay), Exorcist would open between 5:30-5:45, and Yeti would open with the park at 6. Chucky would open with the park. So if you were at the front of the masses at Stranger Things last year, you could have easily done it by 5:45 and get through the remaining houses in like 15-20 minutes before making it to Chucky. By the time a guest from the front of the park got to a house, you would have completed half the event lol
If it’s rumored to be at a bar, it will be at the peacock bar.
My experience was not good last year with it. It felt like we waited almost the exact same time as we would have in the regular line in the blistering heat. They began scanning at the same time they opened the regular line too and we missed the “opening” from Oddfellow. There were no real lines, so it was a mass of people and they only had like two TMs scanning tickets. It was not worth it in my opinion last year.
This is the correct answer. That was phenomenal. You walk through Hellblock and then go into the park and get in line for another house all before the park even opened.
