Typically there are 2 portal entrances per house, express and standby. You have to show your express pass to get in the line and they scan it further in the queue.

Thanks. I’ve never been before. This will be my first time. How does express lines work then? Are they right next to regular entrances or different paths?

As previous poster said at each portal they'll be a express lane and standby. There's a TM at front looking for express passes the they'll scan further down.

How it'll look at the soundstage is unknown at the moment as this is new for this year

I've seen a few posts today from TMs that UO is introducing a no scare necklace this year for scarezones

Can’t decide which was more the deciding factor here…

Wanting to make a few more bucks off the tourists or an out they can dangle as a shield to somebody who complains to GS about scare zone “trauma”.

I don't understand this. If you can't handle the scare zones, then I'm assuming you can't handle the houses. So... then why are you paying for this event? But then again, it's not really going to affect me directly, so I can't yuck anyone's yum on this.

Other than the screaming girls who seem to play up their horror to their friends and to post on instagram, I cannot imagine many who have had more than a good old jump scare in the scare zones. They’ve been diluted into glorified photo ops over the years. Maybe the tide is going to turn this year.

I really haven’t found the scare zones to be scary at all. It doesn’t work in the houses which makes sense because the majority of the stuff in the houses are on timed triggers so they really can’t stop it because some one is wearing a special don’t scare me necklace.
