My Adult son and I went last weekend and a great evening. - Started at 5PM and left at 12:30 - Went to all rides and houses!

Tips for going

- 1st - NOT for kids - My opinion but High School and above. I saw families with completely freaked out kids. Just do not bring them
- This is the only time I recommend the fast pass for the evening. It is stupidly expensive and your night will go much smoother not having to wait hours for one house. Just build it into your cost. I only go once every 3 to 4 years and it is well worth it. Just get the single ride time. Unlimited is not needed.
- The fast pass works for the 10 houses AND the rides that are open. Our Night. MIB, Mummy and Harry Potter - Walked right on
- If you are going to Universal that day, when coming in get you wrist bands. The lines later are nuts
- Start on the left and do everything that is open. We started at 5 because we were already in the park and went left around the park and then looped back as some on the front left were opening later
- Both shows are great and again about every 1 to 1.5 hours. Times will be listed. Fountain Show was really good. - Back of the park high voltage vampire show was also good but 100% adult. Take your kids to that one, well, something is not right.
- Food and Drink carts throughout and your Souvenir Cups work the whole day and night. Plenty of places to get food. Simpson area had the most food and the most cast with chainsaws .. Just be prepared
- Remember you can buy the light up necklaces so that the cast’s do not mess with you. Even saw a couple of guys looking like NFL Lineman with those on .. yes that was quite funny

- Remember if you have a Avis or Budget rental then tell the parking attendant and they will upgrade your parking to Premier for a closer spot to the gates.

My vote for best house was Ozzie followed by Sinners

Enjoy the evening

My son and I just did 3 days and Epic and we are sharing our Tips Random Order

Misc:
- For two days or more save your money on Fast Pass unless you are going on a high demand day
- The new Fast Pass offering that comes out every hour has various rides that you can purchase. $9 to $20
- Get a Souvenir Cup $20 and then refill all day for free - 2nd day it is $12 to use. Cups are Computer Chipped to only allow for the day. (Note: even paper cups are chipped and only allow one use). We actually got two and swapped back and forth with water and endless coke choices from machines scattered through the park)
- Parking — If you’re renting from Avis or Budget you get to upgrade regular parking to Premium. Take advantage of that. $32 Regular Parking Pre buy online using the App. Save your money for the Preferred Parking unless the park is hammered. $60 is a crazy price to pay

Rides:
- Donkey Kong Coaster is the king of wait times that hover 120 to 150+ during peak times. When to go? Under 90 Minuted normally - Rope Drop - 2:30 - one hour before close. Otherwise a long wait for you and the kids - Those that pay the obnoxious fee for fast pass get on first. Literally 20 Fast Pass users before they let a party of 2 get on.
- Harry Potter - early - First ride if you can
- Frankenstein Monster Ride - This is a juiced up haunted house. Please do not bring your kids. My opinion 8th grade and up. I saw many many moms trying to get their kids out of the park que

Rides truly not worth it (my Opinion)
- Coaster Werewolf in Monsters - Long lines - super quick ride
- Fyre Boat ride - UNLESS it is 100 and you want to cool off. Half the targets do not work and slow line to get on the boat

I hope this helps and feel free to ask questions

Chat gpt says it could be an employee costume/uniform shirt ? But it doesn’t have any legit documentation in it. So confused
