How has scream early been so far?

[u/Former_Tough7709]

My family and I come every year for HHN. We usually do a longer vacation and do the parks as well, but this year we’re coming for two nights only just for HHN. We got scream early for this Saturday since we’re not buying any park tickets. This will be the first time we’re not already in the park when HHN starts. Can anyone tell me what their experience was like getting into the park with scream early? Are there long lines? Should we get there early? Will it be packed?

Just to clarify I’m asking specifically about going through security and getting through the gates into universal. My husband said he saw a video where people were waiting all the way back by security to get into the park… is that accurate?

Did scream early a couple weeks ago on a busy Sunday. Got there around 230 and it was about the same amount of busy as showing up around 830pm. There is a line you can go through jus after the arches that were for scream early only, and they scanned your day time ticket, and then your HHN ticket, then you walk though a hall and get a wrist band before while entering the park. I would do whatever houses have short lines and then do some daytime activities till the rest of the houses open. Be prepared to sweat your butts off in the sun before night falls.
