The best way to describe the house is as loud and obnoxious The Purge scare zone had similar metal music blasting last year (if memory serves me right).Interesting to hear Purge had metal music blaring. I don't remember the movie having a metal soundtrack?
Can anyone verify if they use the Lucy area for S&S this year. And does London give you access to Insidious before Duff or is it just like last year where Duff gets access to everything at the back?
The most obvious effect of the modern cell phone (and accompanying social media) has been the rise of the selfie, which has impacted what scare-zones even are. But another clear effect is what we might call "Trader Sam's Syndrome"--you know, the bar that had 5-hour waits the day it opened, but is now often just half-full. Simply put, people who follow theme parks on social media feel the need to be first.
I'm wondering how much of that affected the crowd last night. Because that was the worst pre-October crowd I've ever seen (friend who's gone since '98 agreed). If this is the new normal, then a 9th house and Diagon aren't enough. But if things calm down a bit next weekend, probably unfair to judge the event off of last night.
I remember Diagon was equal to Duff in accessing Halloween last year, hopefully will be the same this year. I'm guessing there could have been some miscommunication the first day.

Hello, first time poster here heading to my third HHN:Orlando on Saturday.
Does anyone know if the HHN Express pass allows you express access to Gringotts? Can't seem to find that info anywhere and since it doesn't have one during the day I wasn't sure. (My friend is a huge Potter fan but we don't want to miss tons of time during the event either.)
Ambiance wasnt ruined. But my problem for the first 2 houses was my eyes not adjusting so it was too dark. Almost worth it to bring a pair of shades to wear in line.Someone please tell me that last night was an exception and today will be slower because opening night was ROUGH. Also did anyone do insidious during the day, and if you did ,was the ambience ruined by the light leaking in?
Seriously. I saw that Usher and have no idea how they were okay with that.The makeup job on that Usher kind of reveals the lesser work this year. One of the cast's Usher actually looks really good -- but the other has long hair that completely throws me off.
Yep, I came out of Walking Dead and overheard another guests say, "that was great but I can't wait to see it". HahaAmbiance wasnt ruined. But my problem for the first 2 houses was my eyes not adjusting so it was too dark. Almost worth it to bring a pair of shades to wear in line.
