Sunglasses are a must. The worst thing is in some of the houses where there isn't any time to get acclimated and you go running into a prop or even worse a scareactor. Forsaken was a major problem for us, well more my wife than anyone.
Just remember with it being opening night it will be busier than other earlier event nights and with the AP event the tents will be busier at the beginning until the residual crowds from the event clear out and move on. If you are an AP then sign up for it, but last year it was rough and I am gunna scope it out this year and see if its worth it or I will bail for a SS S&S.Like like like like this thread. Forthcoming guide or not, I absolutely want to know the best/favorite strategies for Stay and Scream this year as it's my first year attending opening night and need to gameplan what to do before using Express to maximize coverage. Thanks for all the insight so far!

That's what I did last year and loved it. The S&S holding area is also very enjoyable, lots of beer, seating inside and out, simpsons episodes.. etc.I always swear by Springfield because I can hit the most amount of houses early and prior years it had the longest lines too.
See, I'm an APH but I didn't really see the point in signing up for the event. Isn't it just madhouse busy? I've got the RoF ticket so it won't be my only night. I just don't see the point in signing up if it just gets swarmed. Wouldn't I just be better off doing S&S? I mean, I know there's no harm in doing it but if I'm not going to use it..Just remember with it being opening night it will be busier than other earlier event nights and with the AP event the tents will be busier at the beginning until the residual crowds from the event clear out and move on.

I'd say it be worth it to just sign up and check it out. If you can be there early enough to be towards the front then you can make it work. Plus who knows, with how it was last year people may be turned away and it could be less busy. I only did the opening night one and skipped the other ones, so possibly the other nights aren't as bad, especially the second weekend since FFP don't have the second weekend and FFP+ doesn't have that sat.See, I'm an APH but I didn't really see the point in signing up for the event.

Not up yet.Thanks for the advice! Stupid question, I realize - but where can I sign up? Is that open yet? I don't see it on the site.
Perfect. So I'm not as foolish as I thought. Thanks!Not up yet.
I try to save Finnegans for days when the weather is nicer and just wait outside mostly. Simpsons and DA are great for earlier in the event when it's hot out and you can spend the time in the AC instead of out in the heat.Much as I love Finns, it has become such a cluster during S&S that I usually can't even stay inside. Pretty obviously a fire code violation when you can't even walk inside. Meanwhile, in Springfield, you can grab a lakeside bar stool, enjoy the cool breeze and drink a Duff in peace.
Diagon obviously has the most to do, but Springfield usually gets a 1 to 2 minute jump on them, and that makes a difference.
Yes it is. That also probably indicates that while this is the official map graphics it's not quite in the form it will be for maps issued to guests. Also page 8 confirms the rumored store next to Mummy.-Are we thinking the "new way to experience horror" on page 8 is the VR house?
After a little studying...
-Exorcist and AHS entrances are swapped vs what I thought.
-Krampus is entering from the opposite side as last year.
-No rides are listed on the front like in past years.
