HHN 34: Tips, Tricks & Planning Thread

The pasta pizza was a hit for me! It is one of the pricier items BUT it is large enough to share with someone. At least that's that I did and I didn't eat anything else for the rest of the night.

Shame if people sleep on Wyatt because they don't follow WWE/wrestling. The scale and amount of detail/care was impressive

I think when word of mouth comes out it will get more lines

I've had a ton of people tell me WWE is why they are coming this year...so I would not worry yet...its the first weekend and people most likely just wanted the "bigger IPs" and see the original houses but I think it will do better as the event goes on

I watched a POV of the house and its fun, has some cool scares for me at least its like the Weekend...cool that its here but not sure if it would be in my top houses

Curious how accurate (or not) people have found the waits this year. Thrill-Data is a good baseline, but it seems wait times for Horror Nights are even less consistent and predictable than for attractions open 365 days a year.

Opening weekend is not accurate by any means as the team figures it out. It does however give a very broad idea of what to expect later on in the event.

Jason Universe is highly inaccurate due to express fluctuations causing really awful standby to express ratios.

Not sure. Maybe the fans they expected to attract will show up later in the season (as it was announced only 24 days before the start of the event.)

Ran into this at Jason Universe - wonder what it is about that location that makes the waits unpredictable. I think the Express line was the longest I’ve ever waited in (think it pushed 40min).

I never wanted to do it because I hate carrying things in the parks but I think it’s time I have to get some sort of bag to keep stuff (portable fans, charger, ponchos, shoe bags, etc..) in. Since none of the things I will be carrying around are too heavy I think should go with a drawstring bag. Does anyone have any recommendations of good bags for hhn that aren’t too heavy and that don’t make your back sweat all night lol

I use a hip bag with leg strap for theme parking and especially for HHN. This is the exact model, looks like it's not available anymore but there's plenty like it on Amazon. I prefer the vertical design to a fanny pack because it's deep enough to hold any of two of water bottle/umbrella/blinky cup at a given time, in addition to battery pack/sunscreen/keys/lanyards/etc. It's unobtrusive, hands-free, and not especially sweaty.

Friday I saw both standby and express lines past the house entrance. Came back later and express was still out into the same walkway. The next night I saw the same thing. Not sure what's going on with that house.

simple solution: have a baby and then put all your crap in the diaper bag and/or stroller basket*
