So with all those houses, scare zones and shows to see you are going to plan your night carefully, whether you're there for only one night or every night!

Generally the mazes closest to the front of the park are usually the busiest at the start of each HHN. You can get through quite a few houses quickly by starting further back and working to the front.

If you want to make a jump on the incoming crowds, take advantage of Stay and Scream. If you enter the park before the event begins you can hang out in one of three different Stay and Scream areas. Once the event opens you can head to a close house, getting a slight jump on those just entering the park.

Last year's Stranger Things house had lengthy queues throughout the whole event. If this is your must do house this year, I'd 100% recommend purchasing a Halloween Horror Nights Express Pass.

Using HHN Express Pass allows you to skip a huge section of the queue making the wait much shorter. Last year I used HHN Express for Stranger Things later in the evening to reduce my wait time to 15 mins compared to the advertised 45 mins.

Halloween Horror Nights Express allows you to skip each house one time and also works with the select rides that are open each HHN evening.
