In my experience, Opening Night is a bit of a "luck of the draw" situation. I've gone and not run into any media or press going into a maze at any point through the night -- smooth sailing. Then there'd be a year where my night would be going super smoothly until I do run into it happening even on one maze and it throws off my entire night as now I am insanely behind because my 30 minute advertised wait just jumped up to 70. Then thered be a time I'd go and deal with it back to back, ruining things from the start. After that, I just decided I wouldn't be going Opening Night anymore lol (this was 2011-2013) but then they moved Opening Night to Thursdays, Saturdays just worked better for all my friends schedules, and in general, I just found Opening Nights to be underwhelming in terms of quality. Plus I love watching the wait times on Thursday and Friday to calculate what they'll be like when I finally go. And in general, let scareactors get into the groove a biiiit more. Don't think I'll be going back to an Opening Night lol and depending how things this year go, we'll see if I do Opening Weekend anymore. I have a feeling it'll be fine, but just prepping myself mentally.
