Just like Epic's paid previews lol.

Like others have mentioned, the solution is really simply -Lower capacity + raise price.

I like @Jake S ' idea of the tasting pass for food, rather than being a free-for-all.

How many of the normal QS locations were open during Premium Scream?

That's the thing, we don't know if it was over sold or if that was the anticipated crowd level for last year as well. Last year, they still had tickets available even on the night of.

I've seen a few people mention they were selling tickets at the front gate this year night of also

Premium Scream, to me, always felt like a “soft open” for the event itself. The event has ALWAYS needed a night prior to opening to stress test Operations. Team Member preview has always focused on stressing the houses then, on opening night, everything else would suffer. Universal just saw an opportunity to profit from the additional dress rehearsal. It’s not going anywhere.

Maybe go all out then like a regular night. Everyone gets Express, which means if you want to see a house again you have to wait till everyone else gets a chance.

Pretty much everything was open. The sweet shop in the front wasn't a part of the food options though but today cafe was.

Ok hear me out. Two weeks before your visit you log onto MyUniversalExperience app to book a return time for each house at 7am.

And at 7:00:27 all spots are gone.

Out of interest - what are the wait times like at IOA during the time period it overlaps with HHN? Is there any notable difference?

(Sorry I'm across the pond and don't stay up late enough to check the live times)

From my experience, IOA definitely gets a bit busier after USF closes for HHN.

I actually popped over the final hour IOA was open on Saturday after doing a few houses. Hulk single rider was a walk on, and I only waited half an hour for Velocicoaster. Hagrid was a 90 min wait at close IIRC.

The avg. wait (according to Thrill-Data) yesterday was 65 (last year this same Wednesday was only 36 avg. a 80% increase).

Will be interesting to see if that continues throughout the season. If this is the case, week 4 (last RoF week) and October will be unbearable.

Had one of the best surprise experiences that I’ve ever had at HHN. We had gotten in line for the Terrifier last night and after not moving very far for about 30 minutes in what was supposed to be a 90 minute line. I looked in the app to find that it had become 120 minute line with that we got out of line feeling fairly defeated.

Decided that we were going to do Grave of Flesh, and as we were entering the line, there was a RIP tour guide standing there who stopped us from going into line and asked if we wanted a mini RIP tour. Confused, we said yes. He took us to the RIP entrance, gave us the rundown of the house and took us straight to the front of the line. Was a really awesome surprise and delight customer experience touch that I didn’t realize that they did.

once rush of fear is over it tends to calm down specially mid week.
