I did my damnedest on Saturday to follow DTH's gameplan and it didn't work. We ended up waiting nearly three hours for Halloween and never got to do Terror Tram, Walking Dead, or Exorcist (or Mummy).
Arrived at 5:20, waited near Early Entry gates (I have come to find out that they just open all the gates now. Great.), booked it to the backlot. On the Starway, already saw a huge line for Exorcist.
F vs J (20 min wait, but wasn't open? No people being let into any mazes as far as I could tell), Krampus (20min wait), AHS (1 hour wait, but 140 posted). By then, too late to try for rides, Exorcist posted at 150min. Halloween posted as 80, so it wins. Entered maze 150min later. Not looking good. Terror Tram closed. Fuck it, we ride JP and Transformers.
We headed up for the Purge Guantlet (pretty good actually, but this isn't a Trip Report). Walking Dead at 90min. Texas at 80. Texas wins. Enter maze 120min later. Yay.
I didn't mean to write out my whole day, but the point of it is I'm brining a group with me next weekend and want to see how I can change up the plan. I've used DTH's plan every year, it's worked great until this year. Is there a new cap of visitors? More FOL being sold? It's usually dead(er) this time of year.
What can I do to get us all into the houses next Saturday (and I need to see Exorcist, I've been dying to see it)?

The door is open.
I was just driving on the Universal lot and saw the door to the rumored sound stage is open. Someone should get down there and see if they can... see anything from the park. -
^Great! Feel free to use it as a wallpaper. I've actually been lurking here for a few years, but just recently decided to start posting. Seems like a nice community here. Glad you enjoy the TRs!

I wish the show were just a little more Halloween oriented, though. This year was great because the Grim Reaper made an appearance. But something else to tie it into the event would be nice.
Station!
The show certainly put a smile on George's face.... one... creepy ass smile.
Austin... Where did you get that turkey leg?
"I... don't... know..."
We suspect it was actually cursed human flesh, because after eating the leg, Austin became a crazed fire demon.
Pity.
"Fear me, mortal!"
Stop it!
Austin became normal again we he found a way to include fart jokes into tonight's trip report.
Look! We're adults!
We were then ejected from the park for being using fog to simulate flatulence.
Or at least, we should have been.
The End.

This is a very delayed trip report, seeing as it's almost time for THIS year's event. But around July, as I'm sure many of you do, I start to get what I call "The Itch". And right now, the best way to satisfy my itch is to share with you all my experiences from last year's event. Here goes:
Somehow, I was separated from my party and ended up much farther from the exit than they were. I was lost in a sea of people and I honestly didn't mind. I had a better view of the opening scare-emonies.
Granted, not that much better.
My friends are somewhere in this mess... I'm sure.
It didn't take long until we found each other and we headed straight for the lower lot.
Austin and Diandra are crouched in fear. George, behind them, can't help but think about all of the germs they're encountering. Horror Nights, indeed.
Silent HIll: Home to the Stars!
Oh man. So excited!
For a long time, Silent Hill has been my favorite form of ANYTHING, so I was incredibly excited to learn that HHN would be doing this as a house. Even better that it was based on the games.
And you know, it was pretty okay. I get the feeling it was made by someone who didn't really understand or enjoy Silent Hill, but it was really cool to see a lot of the visuals from the games become reality. Though, honestly, I thought Sinister Pointe did it better.
Pyramid Head is still the star of my sexual nightmares.
We then moved on to visit our good friends, the Sawyers.
George was delightfully disgusted that they sold turkey legs in the queue for this attraction.
Austin made sure our items were safely stowed away by giving the locker his blessing. Amen.
So we rode some rides, headed back up to the upper lot, and totally killed it on the Terror Tram.
Terror!
We did some exploring before moving onto another maze.
My flash went off unexpectedly, but caught some spooks at play.
This person was in line ahead of us to get into The Walking Dead house.
Should have used Express Pass.
We all took a break and began our yearly tradition of eating one of those giant freakin' donuts while listening to the screams around us.
This place was really cool. I wish my apartment looked like this.
Hey look! I made it into this trip report!
"Oh sweet nourishment. Refuel my sweat and tears. I'm gonna need them."
We had an excellent adventure with Bill and Ted.

Early Entry at 5? Wow. So, will they accept lineups at 4?
