MahB Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Mine worked like a charm and i barely need to wait except for Saws and Steam and that was because of the scareactors. (rest 20 min or less) Good to know! Did you have the express pass as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brose Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I was wondering what was up for saw and steam? that house always opens early and it actually opened late. sucked. I agree the rest of the houses i didn't wait over 20 minutes. though next time i may start with the forsaken and work my way around. does the tent/parade houses open early?

pehyde Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I went last night (Opening Night) and didn't use my normal plan for house routes, but figured I'd post what I did to maybe help. I'm a passholder though, and did the passholder houses early so it probably only worked the way it did because of that. Anyway we did Forsaken, In-Between, then Nevermore by 6:30 when the park actually opened. We then headed to the soundstages and did Winter's Night, the Thing (5 minute wait) and then Nightingales. It was about 7 o'clock by then and there was a downpour so we waited inside for an hour then did Holiday's of Horror and finally headed to Saws n Steam. We were out of Saws n Steam by 9 o'clock and got to do some scarezones and see Bill and Ted at 10 before going through scarezones again. We additionally did the Mummy and 3 of the houses a second time by midnight. So that worked for us without express passes, I'm sure it will be different on peak nights, but hopefully may work for any passholders on those event nights.

CinemaOfTheDead Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Good to know! Did you have the express pass as well? Yes, but i don't use use it till i did all the houses (in regular line) first and when time is running out and the park is about to close. I do repeats with the express. and if you see my house count i did pretty well for 3 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goo Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I have to say, you really don't need an express pass unless you are going 1 night. I can hit all the houses and then some repeats in one night usually. Start at the parade building and then just work your way around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy someone else has seen the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerx Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 this year im planning on timing my run with my team.see how fast we can get through all the houses without fast pass, and do rip ride rock it.ill probably start at the parade building and follow around with that route should be hella fun tho.

marchofprogress Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Anybody got any idea on how to plot the route to see all the iterations of the ladies in 7? I mean .... Logical ways that work into a system, not just "go totally out of your way and go back several times..." I was hoping the zone would be more central so that guests would have to pass through it multiple times by default, just so people would get to see the transformations. There's definitely something to be said about pleasing the hardcore fans with Easter Eggy stuff, but I would think something as big as complete transformation of the main scareactors in a zone would be something Uni would want to show off. Looking at the map, I don't think I would even know a transformation happened if I visited the event just once and nobody told me about it.... That gives me the Sads.

The Director of Horror Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) I did this last night for my visit this weekend. It was a bit late, so forgive if some of the times don't flow very well. (I arranged the As & Bs (casts) by past reviews of which casts were more active in each house.) *** = Express Pass Stay & Scream The In-Between (A) 6:00-6:45 The In-Between (A) 6:00-6:45 Nevermore: The Madness of Poe (A) 6:30-7:15 Saws N Steam 7:00-7:45 ***Saws N Steam 7:00-7:45 H.R. BloodenGutz Presents: Holidays of Horror 8:00-8:45 ***H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: Holidays of Horror [A] 8:45-9:30 Acid Assult ***The Thing [A/B] Whenever ***Nightingales: Blood Prey 9:45-10:30 Your Luck Has Run Out Nightmaze ***Winters Night [A] 10:15-11:00 7 Grown Evil ***The Forsaken 11:00-11:45 The Forsaken 11:00-11:45 ***The In-Between (A) 12:00-12:45 ***Nevermore: The Madness of Poe (A) 12:30-1:15 Saws N Steam? 1:00-1:45 Closing I had trouble finding a time where I would actually go through Canyon of Dark Souls. It seems as if I do The In-Between, I would end up by Nevermore, then do Nevermore, then do Saws N' Steam, ect. I also don't plan on doing Bill & Ted. (It seems like a good show... but being there only two night, I'd rather do some more houses.

themeparkfreak17 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 This route worked for me on Friday, October 22 last year. Going on the Friday the 14th this year. I have stay and scream and express. I don't really stop and look at scarezones until it is dark also. I don't care about the shows either. This route is assuming house exits haven't changed. 1. Kid Zone Stay and Scream. 2. The Forsaken 3. The In-Between 4. Saws and Steam: Into the Machine(Poe will not be open yet) 5. Nevermore: The Madness of Poe 6. H.R. BloodenGutz Presents: Holidays of Horror 7. The Thing 8. Nightingales: Blood Prey(Express if over 30 min) 9. Winter's Night: The Haunting of Hawthorn Cemetery(Express if over 30 min) 10. 7(Phase 2) 11. Mel's Die-In(Food) 12. Grown Evil 13. The Forsaken(Express) 14. Canyon of Dark Souls 15. The In-Between(Express) 16. Nevermore: The Madness of Poe(Express) 17. Saws and Steam: Into the Machine(Express) 18. Jaws(Have to ride it at night) 19. H.R. BloodenGutz Presents: Holidays of Horror(Express) 20. Your Luck Has Run Out 21. Acid Assault 22. The Thing(Express) 23. Nightingales: Blood Prey(Express if not used)(If used then only if wait is 30 min or less) 24. Winter's Night: The Haunting of Hawthorn Cemetery(Express if not used)(If used then only if wait is 30 min or less) 25. Nightmaze 26. 7(Phase 3) Last year I did every house twice except Psychoscareapy. Legendary Truth and Psychoscareapy had waits over 30 min my first run through so I used express. When I came back through I did LT again because it was a 30 min wait. I'm not sure what the waits will be like this time because I'm going on a different weekend.

Guest kiwisoup Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I signed up for text wait times this past Saturday and tried out several different routes and the best theoretical route was starting at The Forsaken and working your way around counter-clockwise, so that's what I'll be doing this Saturday when I attend. Without an Express pass or early entry, I estimated that it would take 2 hrs 45 min to complete every house...of course this is just an estimate based on the wait times given by Orlando with estimated walking time and estimated time it takes to go through a house factored in.
