I was there last Sunday (the 12th) and all I can say is definitely get the Horror Express ticket book. It was pretty packed for a Sunday (thought it was the night before Columbus Day), with line for the Haunted Houses at between 1 1/2 to 2 hours. With the express tickets, we were able to hit all of houses (some more than once) plus several of the attractions over about 5 hours. Without the tickets, we wouldn't have been able to get a fraction done of what we did. As a matter of fact, the only reason we went down this year was because they were offering the passes, as we had such a terrible time with the lines last year. I assume that they would sell the booklets out front before the event. We bought ours for that Sunday during the day before (a Saturday) at guest services and they were all ready sold out of them for that Sat. night. One of the smart things we did do this year was after the park closed for the day, we stayed inside the park (they hold you over at the Oak) and then got a jump start on the event as soon as they let you go. A bonus was that they opened up the Dueling Dragons at 6:20 and we were able to get in 6 front row rides before the event even started. The booklets come with 15 tickets. One for each of the houses plus one for pretty much all of the attractions in the park and one for the first showing of the Bill & Ted show. As for the haunted houses, we thought that the All Nite Drive In, Ship of Screams, and Scream House revisted were probably the best and that if we had had to wait in the lines, they would have probably been the most worth it. This was our second year down there for the event and we have definitely found out that because of the crowds, you really have to put a little foresight into your planning in order to get the most out of your night. Hope that helps.
