7. Get There Early

After your relaxing day by the pool you'll be ready to hit the park for the scares, but if you can try and get there before the event begins to make the most of it.

As an annual passholder I could get in the park at any time, but my friend with me didn't have a park ticket for entry that day. To make the most of HHN she decided to purchase a ticket that allowed her to enjoy the last couple of hours of regular park opening before the even began.

We spent the last two hours of regular opening riding some attractions then we grabbed a drink and headed to a Stay and Scream area. These are areas of the park that allow gets who have both day time and HHN entry to stay in the park without having to exit and re-enter. This is a massive time saver as queues to get into HHN can get long.

Stay and Scream is the ultimate "must-do" to get through as many houses as you can. Essentially the lines for the houses begin in Stay and Scream. If you miss this, then you can end up being well behind in the queue.

At the moment those late entry to the park tickets are not currently available but hopefully they will be closer to the time.
