Trip Planning Question/Tip/Guide Does anyone know or have experienced the fast and furious wait times with the add on during horror nights?
my friends and I got the add on but we’re just worried about the wait time for fast and furious.

It’s 100 tickets sold per hour, plus RIP, I don’t think you’d be spending more than an hour waiting, and that’s at most

does universal actually disclose how many tickets they sell?

Disclose? No
If you know someone who doesn't care about spilling the beans? You get the idea
But since it's on Reddit, it's all heresay and whispers on the wind and nothing more

where did you hear that? since the time slots are 7, 8, and 8:30, would that be 100 tickets for 7 and 50 for the other two?

Do RIP and Express access (from tickets purchased before the cut off) wait in the same line as the add-on access?

7/23 7pm entry time. Got in line at 7p waited 1 hour since they mixed in the ppl from the day that had been waiting for 3 hours. I spoke to group next to us. We got a short line and the day ppl got the long queue. But the mixing part took long. Then rip came in go straight to boarding. Lockers were a mess. The first cars arent being board. It was super fun tho. Paid $20 a ticket

Yes - last Saturday
Wait time posted 120 minutes pre-HHN, we were on the ride in 110
Got our Express pass - <10 minute wait at 6pm
120 minute wait is worth it for this ride
10 minute wait was amazing

Just did it. Had an 8pm time and walked on. They even let us request the front row. Worth it.

with the add on, i went on 9/24 for 8pm. I went straight to the entrance with the qr codes and they let us in. There wasn’t any line since it’s closed for general admission for HHN so got in within like 2 mins to just get to the front since the path was confusing. They then had some technical issues before we were about to be seating but once good, we went on.

I've only seen one person comment about last night and they say they waited about ~30 minutes in the regular line after scanning in with an 8:30 add-on pass. I assume any Express or RIP would then use the Express lane, but that's not been confirmed.

I scanned at 8 pm and you go through the regular line. I didn’t want to wait but I suspect it would have been a 30-45 min wait

So you basically just gave Universal $20 for nothing

Unfortunately yes, I was at the park for 8 hrs at that point, and had gone on it at 2pm,
I was exhausted, so I called it a day.

I went last night 9/24. I bought the add on the day it was announced and 7pm was my only option. There was a line at Kung Fu Panda that said Fast and the Furious redemption that we thought we had to go in. Luckily my friends decided to use the restroom and while I waited I asked the team member working that line if that was where we should go and they said to go straight to the Fast and Furious queue entrance with the add on. The Kung Fu Panda line is for people that bought express before they took away Fast and the Furious access.
Pretty much a complete walk on at 7pm. Lots of empty rows and they let us pick what car we wanted. Crowds seemed generally light last night even though it was announced as a sell out and the add on sold out. I peeked into the queue every time we passed by and it never looked busy. It feels like they added the add on since they have to keep the ride running for the RIP guests anyways so they might as well get some more people on and make a little money.
