I went to HHN for the first time last night. Got to Finnegan's around 4:15 and was disappointed that the bar had no stools (this was my first time there as well, is this normal?). So I stood and drank until about 5:40 when they released the pen. First stop was TWD, waited about 20 min. Went through Survive or Die and Dead Man's Wharf. Next to TCM, waited about 5 min, then to Lunatic's Playground, 5 min there as well.
Next it was beer time. Then to Halloween:HCTH, which was about 20 min, followed by TOTA which was about 15 min. (We ran into a shift change of scare actors crossing that held us up a little here). Went through Lair of the Banshee (loved the guy on stilts) and Vamp 55. Next was Krampus, about a 20 min wait. By this time the crowds had grown much larger. AHS was 120 minutes and Exorcist was 90. I got another drink and went to Ghost Town. Wait posted was 65 minutes but it was more like 45. Went through Survive or Die again then A Chance in Hell. Chance was great. I only had 2 houses to go but looking at 2 hours in wait time I tapped out around 10.
