Who’s gonna be the brave person to order the chowder tonight?

Gotta have it back to back with hot coffee from starbucks, heat stroke speedrun.

Are hydration backpacks/camel backs allowed into the park? feel like one may be needed for today

As long as you enter the park with it empty and it passes the standard bag check I think they're ok with it? It's functionally both an empty refillable bottle and a backpack and those are allowed separately so id be surprised if they had a problem with it unless it's like huge.

Its rather small so i don't think there will be any problem, thanks for the info!

In preparation for this weekend's continued heatwave of doom, I just buzzed my hair short af. Now my head can breathe & I don't have to style my hair! Woo

Okay, now to get ready & head up to the park soon. Trying to be there by 6-630pm.

SEE. YOU. IN. THE. FOG.

From HHN Reddit, Early Entry is infact as Murdy has spoken: The Weeknd, Texas Chainsaw, Ghostbusters, & Insidious are the 4.

 

[Wesker69]

So best case scenario is...

- hit AQP/Monstrous or head down to hit DE/UM
- Do Terror Tram
- Do Chucky/Purge while the lines are hell
- Hit single rider for rides until lines die out for Early Entry houses
- leave early if lines are too long

Express is sold out in park as well
So no upgrading tonight until 11 pm

 

[Wesker69]

Okay so yea. My plan is to do what I can & leave early. It's going to be hell

 

[Jerroddragon]

Texas chainsaw was the shorter or the two lines down stairs but also we are just standing next to the transformer exit waited be allowed to line up for the house

It opened the line at 5:15 second in line

 

[Wesker69]

Haha I'm just now heading up to the park. I just couldn't motivate myself to leave before 6pm lol

I'm dreading the waittimes.

 

[bdubsCEO]

Okay, so I’m going in 10 days. I have an AP, and Express Unlimited HHN tickets. HHN officially starts at 7PM, but does Hollywood have stay and scream?

Will I have more fun or a better experience if I come early, at like 5:30? I know you get SS by default if you have a day ticket or AP and HHN ticket in Orlando, is that the same here?

This is actually only my third HHN and will be my first year where I actually do everything, so I honestly don’t really know.

Looking forward to hearing what the gameplan will be! I'm going to guess hit Weeknd first then Texas?

 

[Wesker69]

Current waittimes aren't bad (yet). Even with early entry:

DE 30
TCM 25
Weeknd is 20
Ghostbusters 15
Insidious 10
Monstrous 0
Tram 15
AQP 45
Monsters - not open yet

 

[Jerroddragon]

I’m on the terror tram

Got dead E, the weekend and TCM and monstrous 2

Dispersing people to Curious George lot probably helped a lot. Also keep in mind tonight's capacity is capped a bit. I still think the move is the lower lot so you can hit 4 mazes back to back, plus soundstages have a littttttllleeee less light bleed.

 

[Wesker69]

OMG... when planning your visit, be sure to just stay in the "cold storage" room of Dead Exposure! It felt so good!!

 

[DTH]

Checking wait times, nothing is over an hour as of right now. The longest two waits appears to be Insidious and...*re-checks notes* Late Night with Chucky.

UPDATE: I spoke too soon. The second I posted this, Insidous went to an hour, and Ghostbusters, Bloodlines, and TCM went to 40-45, with Chucky staying at 35 (which honestly is still shocking to me).
