Hey everyone, I went to HHN on Sunday, September 14 and even though it's been a while, I really wanted to put my experience in here because it just went so well. So here goes!
I got to the park at 3:30 (I had an AP with EA) and immediately bolted down to the Lower Lot so I could get in line for FNAF. When I got to the entrance portal, I noticed a lot of people waiting around the area sitting down and I guessed that they were there for FNAF but no one was actually lined up (maybe cause it was so hot and everyone wanted to stay in the shade) so I put myself right in front of the queue entrance and in about 5 minutes, everyone and their mother started to line up behind me as well. By around 3:50, the line was already by Jurassic World and we were let into the main queue at 4:00. We waited in front of the facade for about an hour before entering at around 5:00 and I was the very first GA guest in that night. Right after getting out, the queue was already full for FNAF with even the Transformers main queue already in usage.
I went over to Jason where I waited around 10 minutes (most of that time was just waiting for the maze to open for the night) but while FNAF was already fully staffed even though I was the very first guest, Jason was missing like 75% of its cast during that first run through. Even though it was a bad run, I lived with it and stuck to the rest of my plan rather than getting another run through. I went over to Scarecrow and it said 15 mins and the general line wasn't bad at all but the Express got INSANELY long. It feels like a reoccurring problem specifically at Scarecrow with Express just mobbing this maze during Early Entry. But anyways, I waited for about 10 minutes and didn't move at all while Express just kept going and going and I realized that I was gonna be in there for an hour and waste the best time to hit up Terrifier and Poltergeist so I left the line and ran up the stairs to get to H-lot.
The time from 6:00-6:30 is the best to hit up H-lot now. When I got there, both mazes were walk-ons. I took advantage and went through Terrifier 3 times and Poltergeist 4 times. By the time I came out of Poltergeist the last time, Terrifier's line was full and that was at around 6:30. I went over to the main park again and decided to do Monstruos since it said 10 minutes. I walked the line and most of Minions was being used so I just bailed out and hopped in line for Fallout instead. Waited 20 minutes and then decided to hit up Terror Tram before that line got big. Definitely do Terror Tram somewhat early (but not early when the sun is still out) because not only do you not have to wait in much of a line but you also get to walk the Tram route without it being crazy congested like it tends to get when the lines are longer. After Tram, I decided to go down to the LL and get my run through of WWE. I waited about 20 minutes and as I was in line for it, I had noticed that Scarecrow's wait time was marked at 20 minutes as well so I went over to Scarecrow after WWE and waited about 25 minutes.
After that, I went back up to catch the 10:00 Scare-mony but I had some time to kill so I decided to run through Fallout again since it had a really short wait and then got to do the Scare-mony (which I honestly recommend the 10:00 one because there's a really good chance that the clowns open a pit afterwards since that'sthe time when there'sthe least amount of crowds walking through the area). Afterwards, I ate some of the Fallout food they had at Hollywood and Dine (which was pretty good honestly) and because I took a while eating, it was already almost time for the next Scare-mony so I watched that one as well. Afterwards, I sorta just chilled and people-watched, ran into Murdy, got to walk through Fallout with him, and chilled some more in the scarezones.
By the time midnight was approaching, I knew I wanted to do some of the mazes in the Lower Lot again so I booked it back down there and, to my surprise, Jason's queue was completely dead with only one switchback being used so even though the wait time board said it was an 80 minute wait, I waited about 10 minutes. Definitely a MUCH better run through than my first one that night. From there, I went to give Scarecrow another try, waited about 15 minutes, and then went to WWE and waited about 10 minutes. I also popped into the FNAF restaurant to see if they had anymore cupcakes left but by that time they had sold out for the night. The line was pretty steady for that restaurant most of the night though.
From there, I went upstairs to try and make it for the 1:00 AM Scare-mony (which I did) and afterwards got a good spot for the Chainsaw Chaseout. The best spot to stand seems to be right by the Wicked gift shop. While watching the Chase-out, I knew I had to make time for Monstruos since I was still missing it (literally every time I checked, it would say it was like 15 mins, I'd walk into the queue and see almost the entire Minion Mayhem queue in use. It was kind of ridiculous) so I kept checking the time to make sure I didn't miss my little window. At around 1:58 AM, I bolted for Monstruos and still made it with a minute to spare. I walked right in and got to do a solo run-through with the entire cast in there. Absolutely terrifying stuff. And that was my night. All in all, pretty successful stuff!
