MORE fans in the Simpsons queue. I’m dying in here

Man, 2PM stay and scream is a game changer. I did Hellraiser twice, Jack/Oddfellow twice, Stranger Things once and have sped through the rest of the soundstages by 7PM today. Even last night when I arrived late, I didn’t wait more than 15 mins for any house the last three hours.

It really is a nice game changer. Stating at 2 and then taking a break around 8 is awesome.

Still waiting to hear more about the Unlimited Express option availability, but did anyone notice they were still doing the After 11pm Half Price Express tickets this year? If we no longer have either of these options, my house run totals are going to plummet this year.

So I tried to buy the after 11 express on the Saturday of opening weekend and they just told me that they didn't have it available just the full express. And then I also tried to upgrade my sunday night express to unlimited and again no luck. At no point did they say that these offerings wouldn't be available this year, but if they’ve discontinued those tickets they should just say that. Both nights they spent some time in their computers at guest services “looking things up” so i wouldn’t have had any indication they weren’t offered, just that they weren’t available for those specific nights.

It wouldn’t surprise me that during opening weekend “unlimited express” wouldn’t be available. They’re still tweaking the express/stanby ratios and don’t need repeat express pass holders to muck it up.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully both offerings will be available for future nights.

Totally agree. Early opening has made my visits so much more enjoyable. Want also to mention the food this year. It's outstanding compared to previous years.
Adds a big improvement.

tonight (9/6) should be a good test as I am told tonight sold out (not sure what that means, but I assume online day tickets cannot be bought for tonight).

Considering the early scream wait times right now, it looks to be a busy night indeed.

 

[MAC]

Just got to the park and they are advertising tonight as sold out for single night tickets. They are also giving out wristbands for alcohol at the front. So be prepared for a busy night.

There’s a rain system passing through now, but both Sinners and Ozzy hit capacity for about 10 mins during S&S which hasn’t happened in a few nights. Hopefully it passes by the time I’m done with Sinners.

They don’t do this every night?

This is our third night and the first time they’ve given it to us. Didn’t matter because we bought a drink and were IDed and then Security stopped and asked us about them. So, confusing.

Ozzy is at 160 min wait right now and Madlands at 120 min. What's happening tonight? The last few nights, waits haven't been anywhere near that.

It’s the Sunday of Labor Day weekend — I imagine it’s as simple as that.

And yesterday was the Saturday of Labor Day weekend and Friday was- you get it.

I wonder how much cheaper the combination of ticket and Express was and how much that's making a difference.

I have an idea for a house that set in a club. It sky excuse to out a dj in a soundstage queue and just have people party in line lol

That's kinda what the Weeknd house was.

Sunday tends to be the cheapest night. Back when we use to travel up here during RoF, I found SAT tended to be the slowest night and Sunday the busiest.

At least they capped capacity and called it a sellout

Yikes. 170 minutes for Sinners, 120 minutes for Bloodengutz.

Good thing they limited Express this yeah, eh?

People there are reporting on Twitter that the times aren’t that high in reality tonight. With the exception of Cybergoria which always seems to have a higher wait than what’s posted haha

Going to ask again since we have had a few more event nights, but anyone have any updates on if the After 11pm Express or the Unlimited Express add ons have been available at any point this year? Really, really hoping the After 11pm Express passes haven’t gone away. I saw they are still doing them in Hollywood, but has anyone bought one in Orlando?
