So just in case anyone was worried or curious I stopped live posting on Wednesday because we had absolute deluges of rain.
Just to sum up our night real quick:
We arrived at stay and scream around 4:50. We waited in the NYC stay area and got in line for Bride.
We were let loose at 5:30 and the house opened up shortly after. We were then able to get in line for Icons, which opened at 6. We had a very short wait and noticed that Chainsaw was a walk in (the entrance is visible from the Icon's entrance, it's next door). So we went to Chainsaw. We could have done Fairy as well but we were waiting for our friend to arrive later.
We headed to the back of the park and got in line for Puppet Theater. We had about a 15 minute wait and then headed to Wicked Growth, at which point it absolutely started to pour. We had umbrellas but our shoes ended up soaked due to all the ankle deep puddles. And by puddles I mean walkways.
We were already in the rain so saw Wicked Growth was almost a walk up at this point so we went around again. Only waited about 5 minutes but got even more drenched. By the time we came out the second time the rain had let up a bit. We headed to the amphitheater show Halloween Nightmare Fuel. We were in line 10 minutes before the 8 pm show. They loaded us maybe around 5 til. We had decent seats.
The show was pretty good but reminded me a lot of the previous dance troupe. I really liked all the fire acts. Must be a bit of a pyro. The poor main girl ended up falling hard on her back when she jumped up to grab the little rolling cage thing. I felt really bad for her. She got up and stayed out for another minute and then went backstage. The character did come back out, I wasn't sure if it was the same girl or an understudy or maybe they have 2 to rotate shows. I hope she is all right.
After the show we went to Starbucks to grab some coffee and met up with our friend, who had just got off work and was nice enough to stop by our house and grab us fresh shoes/socks. Saved the night.
We got some dinner at the Wicked Growth booth. Two of us had pumpkin guts and the other had the gyoza. Both were really good. I recommend, especially the pumpkin guts if you're looking for a healthier option.
We decided to go to Case Files and waited 20 minutes.
After that we went to Fairy. I think we waited around 25. Next up was Icons around half an hour.
Haunting of Hill House was our last of the night, I think we got in line around 12ish and the wait 35 minutes. The event closed at 1 and we all had to work the next day anyway so we wrapped it up for the night.
Overall it was a good night but I'm really tired of these heavy rains. I hope the next
HHN doesn't get a ton of rain.
At this point we've done most of the houses multiple times, saw both the shows and have had numerous specialty foods so let me know if anyone has questions.
