We are at Aventura 9/2-10.
This is our first ever HHN and we have the Rush of Fear pass with no express.
Yesterday the plan was to go to IOA and get in Velocicoaster, then Hagrid's at closing, then walk over for HHN.
Because of threatening rain and the fact that the outdoor rides weren't open, we waited around to see what would happen. Then my 16 year old son said he wasn't up for both parks as we had been up since 4 AM.
SO, we just went to UOR for HHN at 7. We didn't do a lot because we were looking to get the lay of the land and my son was very tired. First thing we rode Transformers which was a straight walk-on. We rode Mummy (son had never ridden it). Posted 35, off the ride in 20. Rode Gringott's. Posted 20 which was accurate. I was surprised how many regular park food places were open what with all the extra HHN food. We will be getting ice cream at Florean Fortescue's one of these nights.
We enjoyed the scare zones. I didn't expect one woman scareactor to come up to me and scream full in my face. I may have peed a little. They are watching and if you're not paying attention, they'll get ya! LOL.
We only did one house, the chupacabra one. It seemed pretty good to me, but what do I know it was my first haunted house ever and I am 50. I screamed and said some words I shouldn't say around my son. Haha! After a while I was basically just staring at my husband's back trying to make it through. Hopefully I'll get braver!! Wait was posted 35, after we had been waiting a few minutes I checked and it had gone up to 75. Only waited 25 though.
At this point it was after 10 and my son was toast. We went back to the hotel.
We are going back tonight. Planning to get in by 5, then get a ton of stuff done. I'll try to report back!
