If you only have HHN tickets and are not going to be in the park during the day to take advantage of the Stay and Scream option, you will need to line up at the gates & go through the metal detectors prior to getting to the turnstiles. Once at the turnstiles, I believe they usually let guests in about 6:30-6:45 pm. If you want to be one of the first in line at the turnstiles, I would suggest getting in line at the gates about 5:00-5:30 ish as the line-ups can and do get quite long.
