I got my ticket during the 2nd pre-sale

I splurged for the "evil express" which completely bypasses the line. I was originally going to just do regular "express", but decided to guarantee "more time" to experience everything.

Okay so actual ticket for Dark Harbor acquired easily. Today had sent a link to access the ticketing page to "redeem your voucher".

What was interesting is you chose a "timed entry", but the earliest time was 8pm. However, $10 upcharge, you can get "early entry" (allowing me to enter at 7pm).

There were a bunch of "upcharge experiences", including the cabanas & VIP "upgrades".

Without the presale voucher code, you'd end up paying for your ticket a 2nd time. The code counts as a "discount", once applied, I only had to pay the $10 for "early entry".

I'll be going Wednesday, Oct 9th 2024.

I went through all five mazes and it’s vital that you use early entry unless you have fast lane to get through each maze.

Pros: Early Entry, off-site shuttle, 3 of 5 mazes on the ship, majority of the mazes are lengthy
Cons: Lack of scare actors in mazes, food/alcohol prices, waiting for several mazes to open after 8 pm, anti-climatic maze endings

Breakout/On The Run

I went to Shaqtoberfest last year and several of the mazes reminded me of an adult version of what I experienced. Some of the mazes were placed in the same area as the ones from Shaqtoberfest so I could tell they didn’t change much except the facade. The three mazes on the ship reminded me of QMDH in 2018/2019.

Breakout/On The Run has the chance to be the best maze at the event by the end of the season but it really needs more scare actors.
Overall, I had a good time but the event definitely needs to make some adjustments if they want the event to be successful.

I’m not gonna grade them on a hard scale since it’s their first event in 5 years.
