The park expects a peak capacity of 1,000,000 visitors on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nites this week. Avoid it at all cots. If you're not there by 5:30 pm you won't be allowed in. Bart told me this himself.

Get there by 9:17, and not a minute later.

I was also there the last weekend last year. I accidentally crushed one of those people in the crowd. I didn't mean to.

Yeah, rain makes more people come because it gets foggy and it's far more scary. But seriously, the park is telling people not to come this weekend unless you're there to line up at like 3PM, since they expect to reach capacity and not let anyone else in after 7:15.

Avoid.

I went during the last weekend last year and like 3 people got crushed in the crowd and died. Seriously. I'm totally not even lying.

^No, because it will also be busy for the regular day at 10:00 am. On the company's employee website it says they're expecting such huge crowds, they need volunteers to come in at 2am to control the line of cars waiting to get in for the daytime, and since the park closes at 6:00pm, and they clear the line out, if you're not in line at like 3PM, you're not likely to get in.

Seriously, You probably shouldn't go this weekend. Oh, and if you don't have your ticket already, they're not selling tickets at the gate, and you can't use your season pass on Halloween weekend because they're not valid.
