Anyone have any suggestions?
I just got back from my trip where I did 4 nights with express and did stay & scream for 3 of those nights. I did not want to wait in line for 1-2 hrs before houses opened so I would just hang out and get food during stay and scream. I tried different orders of doing the houses and by the 3rd night, best plan for me was to wait until about 5:40 to let the initial wave of stay & scream people get through Fallout. By 5:40, the wait for express was usually walk-on so you could do that standby if you wanted to repeat later. Follow that with Galkn which opens at 5:45.
I then found it was best to head to Jason since waits go up pretty quickly for that, even with express. I’d then head to Hatchet & Chains which lets you out right at Dolls entrance so do that right after.
Then I’d head to El Artista which lets you out near Terrifier entrance. Terrifier exits right near Grave of Flesh entrance so I’d do that next. I only did FNAF twice since waits were always super high but I’d do that after Grave. Then I’d generally leave the hub area to take a break, eat, see lagoon show and head back to do Wyatt Sicks whenever I felt like since waits always seemed pretty manageable compared to the other houses.
If you’re looking to repeat houses, you’d probably have to wait till after midnight when waits start to go down some. FNAF, Terrifier and Jason waits stay long all night, usually 90-120 mins or longer, but all the other houses see more manageable waits after 12. I never have the energy to repeat houses anymore in a single night with all that walking. But if you have one night and are willing to stay until close, that’s probably the best plan. Good luck, it’s a busy year!
