HHN 2024: Tips, Tricks & Planning Thread

[Freak]

I’m here tonight! Wait times seem to be a little longer than Sunday. Still not terrible compared to last year. Did EA and knocked out Insidious and GB by 6:30, left TCM by 7:15, got out of Weeknd by 7:46 and now in line for Bloodlines. Definitely a healthier wait for that than Sunday night.

I personally think tomorrow is gonna be SLAMMED. It’s Friday the 13th. It’ll be crazy packed. Other than that I think it will be just crowded on Saturday.

Yeah people are skeptical but I'm chalking this up as a win for the heat wave scaring people off week 1. It may not be as bad as the heights of 2022 or 2023, but I fully expect Tomorrow and Saturday to be pretty unbearable, I know I personally am staying gone till Sunday at the earliest.

Going tonight, hoping for light crowds but probably won’t be the case given it’s Friday the 13th. Toying with the idea of getting Early Access but don’t want to go through understaffed houses.

but don’t want to go through understaffed houses.

You're going to get understaffed houses no matter what due to quite a few roles not having a tagout.

I don't support paid early entry, but in some cases it is worth it, however my best run-throughs of Insidious were the last 30min before close.

On a side note, I remembered to grab a pic of the FFP upgrade sign as I was heading to Terror Tram

Agreed, but I think you’re almost guaranteed to have empty spots during Early Entry in addition to light bleed. I get why people do it, but it’s a never again situation for me.

I've never seen HHN this "empty" as far as staffing goes for houses. SZs on the other hand have suffered for years.

Agreed. Still early days, but not a great sign.
